À propos de cet hébergement
Escapade à couper le souffle sur les montagnes et l'océan
Si vous recherchez une vue absolument imprenable et un cadre unique apprécié en toute intimité à cinq à huit minutes en voiture de deux villes portuaires pittoresques, cette escapade de vacances est faite pour vous. Perchée sur un flanc de montagne, cette maison est de construction en rondins / poteaux et poutres avec plan d'étage ouvert, grand porche enveloppant, lofts, plafond cathédrale, et avec des fenêtres et des lucarnes de tous les côtés pour laisser entrer les vues vraiment magnifiques et imposantes. La maison peut accueillir jusqu'à huit personnes dans deux chambres en mezzanine ouvertes et une confortable chambre / bibliothèque visuellement privée sur deux lits queen-size, un canapé-lit queen-size et un canapé-lit gigogne futon, tous très confortables. Il y a un bain à remous et une douche debout, plus une demi-baignoire avec lavabo encastré. Une cuisine de campagne comprenant une cuisinière classique en fonte / émaillée, une cuisinière à gaz et des comptoirs en ardoise avec une vue en silvan depuis l'évier. Décor élégant partout. Cette maison est intime et romantique, tandis que la nature de tous les côtés fait entrer l'extérieur.
Notre vue et notre cadre unique :: Forêts en dessous de vous et champs de bleuets au-dessus, vous regardez par-dessus les cimes des arbres luxuriantes ou cueillez vos propres bleuets en saison au-dessus de la maison. Tous les voisins sont à des hectares et presque complètement invisibles. Vous devrez vous casser la nuque pour voir le toit de l'un d'eux derrière vous depuis le grand porche, puis vous ne verrez qu'une partie d'un toit. Vous pouvez voir des pygargues à tête blanche et des faucons planer en dessous de vous! La paix et la tranquillité et l'intimité ici vous étonneront, et il n'y a pratiquement pas de circulation près de nous car nous sommes situés au détour d'une petite route pavée en haut de la pente, et à la fin d'une longue route privée raide. Un deuxième bâtiment discrètement utilisé, seulement occupé occasionnellement sur la propriété est caché, vous ne saurez même pas qu'il est là. Sur les montagnes environnantes jusqu'à l'océan, de tous côtés, vous ne verrez que des forêts et des prairies parsemées de quelques belles maisons au loin avec leurs lumières gaies la nuit. Vous voyez des dizaines d'îles sur l'océan, avec Cadillac Mountain au loin sur le mont. Desert Island dans le parc national d'Acadia à 70 km, la moitié à vol d'oiseau.
Mer, ciel, montagnes, la région :: Le lever du soleil - si vous en avez envie - scintillera sur l'eau et les couchers de soleil la transformeront en rose foncé et les montagnes côtières environnantes en rose ou en or. La région offre une possibilité infinie pour l'amant de la nature, le marin, l'historien, l'amateur d'art, l'observateur d'oiseaux ou le stargazer. Pour ceux qui aspirent à l'eau, il y a des voiles de jour, des chartes coque nue (mieux vaut un skipper expérimenté), des voyages en phare, des croisières de pêche au homard et des éco-tours, des pâtisseries au homard sur les îles, des ferries, l'observation des baleines, des excursions en kayak et en rafting, et des aventures nautiques de trois à six jours sur les grands voiliers classiques et les goélettes en bois connues localement et historiquement sous le nom de Windjammers. Pour les propriétaires terriens, il existe des sentiers de randonnée, qui commencent juste devant votre porte, partout dans le parc d'État de Camden Hills et au-delà, ainsi que sur des sentiers d'une beauté à couper le souffle connus uniquement des habitants, que nous partagerons avec vous lorsque vous viendrez. Si vous êtes un amoureux des oiseaux, vous aurez un choeur écrasant de chants d'oiseaux à la maison. Le ciel nocturne est incroyable.
Dîner, Art, Style de vie :: Il y a une cuisine de classe mondiale et toutes sortes d'expériences culinaires, des cabanes à poissons au bord de l'eau au français à avoir dans la région, ainsi que le Farnsworth Art Museum, qui abrite la collection Wyeth, et de vieux ports historiques et de fronts de mer pittoresques et animés partout, remplis de bateaux de pêche, de yachts de luxe du monde entier et de voiliers en bois classiques. La maison est équipée d'un accès sans fil et du câble. L'équipement extérieur comprend des chaises Adirondack et un barbecue; animaux bien élevés acceptés sur approbation. Les enfants sont toujours les bienvenus, bien que la maison ne soit pas spécifiquement "à l'épreuve des enfants"; il faut aussi faire attention à l'escalier en colimaçon ainsi qu'aux antiquités, objets d'art et culturels, car beaucoup sont fragiles. Veuillez également prendre soin des meubles en osier.
Wifi gratuit Climatiseur (grande unité de fenêtre. Seulement nécessaire occasionnellement dans le Maine, mais ces dernières années, en particulier l'été 2018, ont changé les choses; normalement (et célèbre!) les températures estivales vont du milieu à la fin des années 70 à la basse des années 80 ... et l'air relativement sec. Il y a eu des jours chauds et humides cette année ... alors cette option sera disponible pour nos invités d'été et de début d'automne!)

Mary I am terribly sorry that the “non privacy” was a hardship. I try to make it abundantly clear in my listing description and I remind every single guest that the house has a completely open floor plan. It is a ski lodge style post and beam with open loft bedrooms. It has zero auditory privacy anywhere except in the downstairs powder room. There is visual privacy for the sleeping arrangements but no auditory privacy. You were a wonderful guest and we would be delighted to have you back but we understand that the openness did not work for you. I welcome the fact that this review will remind people to consider the clear description of our unique setting and appointments in the listing, though in this case it cost me a star. I send explicit notes as reminders on this topic at or even after booking. I want this to be a good fit for everyone. Please read the descriptions carefully before booking, or note my candid reminders. There is no auditory privacy! It is the trade off for a unique space.

Quiet Hillside Cabin
Very well done, quiet and private. Close to nearby touristy things on the coast and Hwy 1. Open floor plan allows for some visual privacy, but no sound breaks in the sleeping areas. Worked well for our family but could be tricky in other situations. Overall, we enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.

Thank you Peter. I have tried to highlight the layout of the house in all of the descriptions, I have even resorted to reminding each and every person of that when they book. It is a ski lodge style post and beam log house, with two loft bedrooms, and a dual purpose “library” third bedroom that can be converted to a bedroom. There is visual privacy for all sleeping arrangements but no auditory privacy to speak of. So it’s a unique property, and we want to be sure it is a good fit for you and for your group before you book. Ask me questions, examine photos and descriptions (I will send more).

Great house- literally a hidden gem! Melody was incredibly helpful, and made great suggestions for things to do and places to eat. But the most memorable aspect of our stay was the thoughtful little touches upon our arrival. After traveling all day, and little energy to go shopping at 6:00pm, it was amazing to find a dozen eggs, butter, and half & half waiting for us in the refrigerator! Then we found they had left a loaf of sourdough bread, cookies, coffee, tea, honey, and fresh apples on the counter. That’s true hospitality! To top it off, we got to watch the Camden Fourth of July fireworks from the deck. We will always remember this stay. Thank you Melody and Mike!

Beautifully situated log home with gorgeous views.
I thoroughly enjoyed my 12 days in this peaceful location that was still so accessible to the activities of Camden and Rockland. The house is so embracing and comfortable, and the well-equipped kitchen allowed me to turn out everything from seared sea scallops to blueberry muffins for family and friends. Spent much of my time on the deck, whether with a cup of tea in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, soaking up the views. We will definitely return!

Gorgeous Location- Beautiful Maine Cabin
On our arrival, we were welcomed with fresh fruit, cookies, coffee, tea and fresh flowers. The cabin is a perfect Maine cabin, smelling of pine and fresh air. It was very comfortable and cozy and the views and setting are extraordinary.
The only thing we found to be difficult was the bathrooms- there is not a lot of bathroom privacy due to layout and doors.
Otherwise the cabin is perfect!

Thank you for your kind words, it was wonderful to have you, you were appreciative and responsive guests. My apologies for any surprises that you might have experienced due to the completely open floor plan, I’ve tried to emphasize it elsewhere and during the booking progress i may not have done so with you. We did put a description of the completely open floor plan into the section called “the space”. Normally we’ve had conversations with our guests before or immediately after booking to specifically alert them to the nature of the space, especially the “no auditory privacy” aspect, in order to double check that they had not missed it in the written description of the house. Do you think that this stronger version would fix that? Here's how it is presented so far
“The house has a completely open floor plan, it is ski lodge style with loft bedrooms with a bathroom between the two loft bedrooms that is partially open to the shared cathedral ceiling. There is visual privacy or potential visual privacy for the sleeping arrangements and in the bathrooms but no auditory privacy to speak of except in the downstairs powder room which is enclosed but also has two doors (one which can make it potentially en-suite to the “third bedroom” off the great room which can be converted from a little library by drawing heavy Pendleton (trade blanket Indian robe) panels. Please keep this in mind for larger groups. If it’s a good fit for your group, and if after hearing my “open floor plan speech” you still find it so, the larger groups that come here (from couples up to eight) do have a wonderful time!”
The upstairs bathroom has two glass doors with two heavy Pendleton panels each. They easily cover the doors but you do have to draw them. The effect is that if you don’t need privacy on one side, beautiful light comes in. When they are closed it is also aesthetic. So we decided not to change the doors. We thought about enclosing the top which is open, cathedral ceiling style, directly above the soaking/whirlpool tub, in order to create more auditory privacy, but decided against it as a trade off: again light plays in the room, and also, there is never any steam because of the excellent air circulation it provides. Please keep all this in mind when booking but if it’s seen as an adventure and an aesthetic experience you will not regret it. Again my apologies if it’s less conventional features took guests by surprise but we decided that it’s integral to the charm of the house

We love this place!
Five of us and our dog cozied up here for two cool, early-autumn nights (just like we did two years ago, with the same feel-so-good results) in order to attend the Common Ground Fair. It's private, peaceful and so soothing here in the mountains. I stretched on the deck beneath a blanket of stars at night, and sipped coffee on the same deck in my nightgown early morning. A wood stove, fresh flowers, and a fridge stocked with fixings for a healthy breakfast ... pure heaven.

Peaceful Retreat
Enjoyed a peaceful, relaxing week celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. The cabin was perfect for that. Melody was responsive to any questions or items needing attention. Great location for exploring the surrounding area. We were greeted with beautiful floral arrangements & lots of goodies/treats. Nice linens. I would pay attention to her notes about privacy - it may be a bit awkward for more than one couple, unless you’re VERY comfortable with one another.

Thank you Steve you were wonderful guests. Please set your heart at rest that I’ve made it a habit to ride around on the “very open floor plan” even with guests that have already booked. I make sure that no one comes here without a crystal clear idea of what to expect and I make sure they understand. I used to remind guests only when the party was greater than a couple but these days I remind even a single person! Perhaps i failed to go through that with you? The couples (and one single) guests were very happy here but began to worry about larger groups and would mention that fact in reviews. Please rest assured that everyone gets my “very open floor plan speech” and gets reminded that it is ski lodge style log post and beam with loft bedrooms with visual privacy or potential visual privacy for the sleeping arrangements; but no auditory privacy except in the downstairs powder room. Guests who get past that, even large groups up to eight (we’ve had many over 14 years!!) are self selecting and they end up having a blast. It creates closeness in a unique environment for the right group. I tell people only you can know your group! We ourselves have had family and friends of all ages here on winter weekends all together. Yes, please be aware of the openness; but it can also be a very very special time here which we ourselves have experienced as have at this point hundreds of guests. We are always full in the summer months and shoulder seasons (we do not rent in winter) with groups of every size from 1-8. My apologies for the incident with the new air conditioner we are installing a much more powerful circuit breaker this week. I’m sorry that you had any trouble like that during your stay and had to go hunting for the box while trying to enjoy your anniversary. You took fabulous care of the place even the birds will miss you. Thank you Steven please come again.

Nice getaway
Make sure you read the host’s review about house. It was our fault that we didn’t realize that there was no air conditioning and the set up of the rooms was weird that when we got in the bedroom, had to walk through the bathroom and the other bedroom to get downstairs. Other than that it was a nice stay.

Thank you Donna for directing our potential guests back to the extensive descriptions on the platform that we provided to make sure that it is a good fit. My apologies that we did not direct you to that information. We normally remind guests that it is a very open floor plan when they book, with no auditory privacy except in the downstairs powder room. It is a ski lodge style post and beam log house with lifts open to the great room with a bathroom between the two lofts, which is ventilated through a cathedral ceiling that is open at the top to let in light and air. Once you are aware of that and only you know your party, if that works for you, the people who come here tend to have a blast…but one must consider all of that. My apologies for the air conditioning problems you may have had. There is an air conditioner in the door stairs area. It is located in the “library” off the living room which can be converted to a third bedroom. Our second unit was struck by lighting in a storm that our last guests endured. Unfortunately this time of year with supply chain issues it cannot be replaced right away. Also when the weather is cool it is better to be able to open the windows next to the bed and have room to move around it…but yes there is at least one working air conditioning unit in the house. It is a very large one on wheels that vents out the window. Sorry you were not able to find it or make it work. We were unaware that that was the case; we would have sent someone to help. You were wonderful guests and thank you for your understanding and the favorable rating despite these inconveniences. We appreciate your candor and your kindness. You left the place in meticulously beautiful shape; thanks for everything. We hope to see you again

Absolutely Perfect
Like several others have said, while some rentals feel cold, this one truly feels like a well loved home, because it is. We had an amazing week long anniversary celebration here and it was everything we needed and more. The views were incredible and the house was immaculately clean, warm and welcoming. The little gestures of extra thought and kindness were really appreciated -- delicious bread, jam, eggs, coffee and creamer for the morning. Fresh flowers throughout, a fully stocked kitchen, and more than enough lovely linens. Melody & Michael, thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us!

Hilltop Hideaway
Somehow, this place is both a cabin in the woods and a mountaintop aerie. We all had a great stay for a long weekend getaway to the area. The location was very convenient to Camden/Rockport/Rockland with all that area had to offer: great shopping, restaurants, and hikes.
We were there with three dogs and were able to walk them on the property on the driveway and surrounding grass area.
The hosts were wonderful.They responded quickly to questions and concerns and went above and beyond supplying us with anything and everything we’d need. They even supplied us with several options for breakfasts, which we all enjoyed thoroughly.
The one difficulty was the upstairs bedroom layout, with the bathroom blocking access to the inner bedroom. We sorted that out easily enough though, and everyone was more than comfortable.

Great Views
Melody is very fast and responsive. The house has great views and is very clean. Little welcome goodies are left to enjoy. Traveling with 2 large dogs there was nowhere for a dog to be able to play or use the restroom. There are small patches of grass alongside the hillside driveway. If taking a large vehicle as in and SUV or truck there is no room to turn around the driveway at the top. Otherwise, it was a pleasant peaceful stay with a warm cozy fire on chilly evenings!

Thank you for your kind words I am sorry you had trouble with your dogs and cars though. We are on our seventh German Shepherd they average 90 pounds and our Honda Pilot SUV and Ford F-250 Superduty Diesel truck are able to park side by side and turn around up there. If we have a third vehicle it does have to back down. But there are several parking spaces in addition on the lower part of the drive if you have extra guests or a larger group. For dogs, there are endless acres to run right outside the door if they are under voice command…it’s the entire Camden Hills and we own the land above the house…and below it….there’s also an easement across the blueberry fields and a network of peaceful roads and mountain trails. I’m sorry you did not reach out to us….we allow dogs because we have big dogs and did not have the heart to turn them away as they travel with us often….we do advertise that it is a very steep drive….Fair Winds safe travels…

Wonderful stay in an eclectic house with lovely views
This is such a lovely property! The house is open plan, so there's not a lot of privacy, but we're a close family, so it didn't matter. The space is comfortable, the kitchen is extremely well-stocked, and the hosts were so kind to provide some staples like milk and creamer, as well as tea and cookies. And the flowers on the table were beautiful.
The location was perfect for us - close to hiking trails and beaches, and not too far from Portland and Acadia National Park (1.5 to 2 hours each). The house is tucked away up in the mountain with lovely views, including of the stars on a clear night. You can sit out on the balcony enjoying the view and local birds visiting the feeder, or if it's chilly, the wood-burning stove warms the living room perfectly. It was such a treat to be able to stay there. Thank you, Melody and Michael!

Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
This was our dream house. We knew the man who built it, a friend of ours, Cpt. Rick Miles, former Master of the Pilot Schooner Timberwind out of Rockport Harbor at the time, now Master of the Wanderbird, who built it with his own hands. Its Post & Beam log components are from a kit shipped from Canada, but many of the features are hand-finished by Rick and his wife Karen, some by us. It is minutes from all the activities of the mid coast, but set apart, with a sense of remoteness and freedom from the bustle of the world, sweeping views and with an immense sense of privacy, completely surrounded by nature. The setting is unique, on a steep hill with a very dramatic drop, Mountains & Sea
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
We love renting our house in part because it has become a resounding success as a business, in part because it is a personal pleasure to us to share it with others. The place is that unique! Having the opportunity to give others the experience of it is very satisfying. The house has a tendency to select its own guests, people for whom it is a perfect fit. It has elements of a Swiss Chalet and a Maine cottage, an Adirondack camp or a Maine summer retreat that might appeal to one of the old families that summer here. It in fact has some appointments that belonged to such a family, my own, At the same time it is decidedly rustic in all the right ways, with a unique air of authenticity and charm, something very hard to find. If you add to all of that the breathtaking way the outside breaks into the house, the way the views pervade every room, the light of dawn or dusk transform the place in new ways each day and each hour, then you have a place unlike any other, a sort of gem that in this day and age is increasingly difficult to find.
