Take a 5-minute drive to downtown where the Center for Maine Contemporary Art, The Maine Lighthouse Museum, and the Mississippi Blues Trail eagerly await to entertain you. Eat with the locals along Main Street at venues such as the Rock City Cafe, Rustica, or Park Street Grille.

If you're in town for the Lobster Festival - you won't have to travel far to experience the fun at Harbor Park! This event venue is only a 12-minute walk away, so be sure to check the calendar for other seasonal events.

If you're itching to drive up the coast, visit Camden just 20 minutes north. Admire the early 19th-century architecture before kayaking in Penobscot Bay. View the scenic terrain from one of the trails in Camden Hills State Park after touring the restored Opera House with family and friends!

This is a property advertised as 5 minutes from the town. That is by car. However, a person can walk several blocks and be on the very enjoyable "harbor walk" right to the center of town (and beyond, I suspect). The house was spotless and well equipped for all needs, including a gas barbecue and a very enjoyable and spacious deck. The hosts left us some treats to get started (I am still looking for Red Stripe beer!). All in all, this property was key to our very enjoyable vacation. I highly recommend.

As an earlier reviewer pointed out, the house is on a busy road (Main St) there are no pictures of the front of the house. The picture provided is of the right side of the home. It isn’t possible to sleep with the windows open. There are two baths but only one has a shower, the other is a claw foot tub. The center bedroom is only accessible by crossing through the front bedroom or the upstairs bath. The shower bathroom is only accessible the first floor. It was clean and easily to check in and well stocked. The property description should and could be clearer.Thanks

Stay at Grasslands

The house is immaculate. Grounds are beautifully landscaped and maintained. Easy walking distance to downtown, harbour and all amenities. There are stairs, which we are used to, but I mention it as some may have mobility issues. The house is 19th century, and it’s bones reflect this. It has been updated with modern touches, without destroying its essential character.

Rockland

Property was vey nice. Bathroom upstairs should be updated to include a shower especially for large groups. Bathrooms smelled if windows did not remain open. Trees coming into property need to be cut back given it was extremely hard to safely exit the property to the left given you could not see oncoming traffic. However, in all it was very a enjoyable vacation.

Great having you Barbara we appreciate how tidy your left the home.. Jim has trimmed those trees back finally , I have been after him to take care of that, thanks for the prompt that’s all it took, the crazy thing was the vent to the second floor bathroom the pipe that that sticks out of the roof was somewhat blocked from pine needles from that same tree ! Slight order gone..we appreciate being made aware of all issues and like to hear suggestions on what we might add or do differently.Hope to see you next season. Xiao
