About this property

Quiet neighborhood, family friendly on the Bagaduce River

Beautiful Camp Bagaduce isn't a camp, but a lovely and tastefully decorated house, offering a family friendly and comfortable guest experience. Tall windows overlooking the Bagaduce River and the cathedral ceiling complement the open floor plan. The kitchen area includes a full-sized gas stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher. There's one king bedroom on the main floor and an easily-accessed comfortable open loft with three twin beds. The bathroom includes double sinks and a shower. An automatic generator stands ready in case of a power outage.

The Bagaduce is a tidal river that empties into Penobscot Bay and is one of the most active estuaries in Maine. Camp Bagaduce looks over to historic Castine, and guests can see the State of Maine ship, the Maine Maritime Academy training ship when in port.

Sturdy, fairly steep steps lead down to the inviting gravel and rock beach. From the porch, guests enjoy soothing breezes, and sounds of eagles, osprey, great blue herons, and other waterfowl. Seals are often spotted..

Located off a quiet side road in Brooksville, Blue Hill Heritage Trust Ferry Landing Trail is a 10-minute walk down the quiet side road. Camp Bagaduce is about a 20-minute drive to Blue Hill, the town at the head of the peninsula with a Hannaford grocery store, Blue Hill Co-op, fitness center and pool, hospital, library, bustling main street, unique shops and galleries, and a variety of places to eat. This property rents Saturday to Saturday from June through September.

PLEASE READ: The bank down to the beach is steep and children should always be monitored when outside. There are cottages on each side of the property that potentially could have owners there periodically. Dogs are welcome however the owner requests only non-aggressive dogs under 60 pounds.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We represent private property owners to manage their rental properties for short-term rentals on Maine’s beautiful Blue Hill Peninsula. Enjoy peace of mind when you rent with our locally-owned company. Know that what you see online is what you will enjoy in person and that we'll be there when you need us.
All of our properties are available during the summer months with some also available for winter rentals.

Why they chose this property

As described by the Blue Hill Chamber of Commerce: The Blue Hill Peninsula encompasses the towns of Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Castine, Penobscot, Sedgwick, and Surry and serves as the gateway to Little Deer Isle, Deer Isle, and Stonington. Blue Hill is the largest town and is the region’s service center. The landscape here is marked by sweeping views of the blueberry barrens and the sea. Tucked in among the ridges, valleys, and jagged coastline, you’ll find adventure of all kinds, from a day on the water and an evening of live music to a solitary morning walk and an afternoon of gallery tours and shopping.

You’ll find our communities to be diverse, independent yet interconnected. In all of these places, you may strike up a conversation with a lobsterman, boatbuilder, or sailor who knows these waters like the back of their hand. In all of these places, you will find locally sourced food and highly skilled craftspeople and artists. In all of these places, you will find evidence of the resourcefulness, dry wit, and creativity that has defined our region’s culture for centuries.

This region was settled in the mid-1700s, and its early economy centered around shipbuilding and quarrying. Lumbering, lobstering, fishing, and farming have played an important role in our economy and culture since the earliest days. By the late 1800’s the region had become a summer destination. Today, many of these industries coexist with a thriving art, music, and food scene to create this unique place called The Blue Hill Peninsula.

What makes this property unique

The owners have thoughtfully furnished this rental home for guests to easily settle in and be comfortable.
