This cozy house sleeps up to 12 in 5 bedrooms and 3 full, renovated bathrooms. We have window air conditioners all over the house for your comfort.

Our 1930s cottage has a designer kitchen with double ovens, a quiet-as-a- mouse dishwasher, and a fully outfitted coffee bar with a variety of mixers for your beverages. Two smart TVs are available and from our 3 season family room you may see the turkeys and other critters that come wandering through the 1 acre yard. One of the original owners of this property was an owner of several Boston sports teams in the 1930s including the Boston Braves and Bruins and the hockey team so you can enjoy the custom-built Mahogony trophy shelves he had lining a wall in this room.
Board games, books, and outdoor games are available to keep your family entertained. For our families traveling with small children, we offer a toddler bed, portable crib, high chair, infant/toddler carrier backpack, and a wagon to bring everything down to the beach.
Outside our guests can experience the yard in a variety areas, from the hammock in the shade, a full circle fire pit, and the propane BBQ grilling area right off the sunroom of the house, as well as a front porch with cushioned chairs and rockers. With the equipment for exercise and yoga under the trees (we provide a yoga mat, kettle bells, and hand weights), our home is the perfect summer place for you and your family to relax, recharge and reconnect with each other, nature, and your soul.
We welcome guests with a dog and are working on putting in a small, fenced area for your furry friend for when you go out to the beach or dinner. Guests traveling with a dog will pay a non-refundable pet deposit OF $250 per pet. Because this is Maine, we strongly encourage our guests to give your pet a flea and tick treatment before arrival.
We offer a $50 a day discount to families who choose to bring all of their own linens; otherwise, you will find new linens delivered to the property on the day you arrive and then picked up the day you leave. Fresh linens are delivered to your door by a linen service the day you arrive.
This property offers absolute quiet, a feeling of sanctuary, while still being just 700 steps to Perkin's Cove. You can walk to That Place for a romantic meal or to The Cove restaurant for breakfast. You can go for a stroll on Marginal Way or get in the car and drive to Cape Neddick Lighthouse in 10 minutes. What most people tell us and write in their reviews is that the location of this property is really ideal since you can get into town without the challenge of trying to find parking for your car.
Please note this is house is multilevel, and, therefore, has a lot of stairs, both inside and outside of the house, which could pose a challenge to those that require assistance or have limited mobility.
Note the offer above for people wanting to rent the property from Fall to Spring. Generally, there are no discounts given during this period of time since you will already see a significantly reduced rate reflected on the website, but send us a note through the platform, and we are happy to discuss your offers. Due to the potential for freezing pipes if a house is left unattended (as this is Maine), we do not rent the house during this period of time for anything less than 3 months.
There is an unattached guest house on the property that is not rented. It is attached to the garage, so the garage is also not included in renting this property.
Finally, we do encourage dialog regarding the property, but do not ask us to call or e mail you separate from this website since this is the safest way for both of us to communicate.
Warm wishes from our favorite place and we look forward to meeting you soon.
Lisa and Mike

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Dryan- Zagala
This is a property that has been in our family for more than 30 years and my husband and I took over the house in 2012. We adore Maine, the people, and the lifestyle more than anywhere else we have ever traveled.
Why they chose this property
We want to keep this a family home so that future generations are able to enjoy a quiet, peaceful place, somewhere to offer a respite from busy lives and hectic schedules. Maine is safe. Maine is what its motto implores, "The Way Life Should Be". This house has substance, history. This house has space for privacy but if you want to walk into town for dinner and share a romantic bottle of wine, it is only a 10 minute walk back to a lovely cocoon.
What makes this property unique
Charles Adams, one time owner of the Boston Bruins and the Boston Braves was one of the original owners of the property and you can see a room that he made for his trophies in the rear 3 season room.
Additionally, this property and the town of Ogunquit will make you feel as if you are stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting, reconnect with nature and people. It gives you room to breathe, be creative, and thinking about next steps, next journeys as well as to just sitting still. It offers ways to be a part of nature, to exercise, to move, as well as to steep yourself in history and living life "The Way Life Should Be".
