Hilltop 5BR Retreat with Decks & BBQ
Escape to this five-bedroom hilltop luxury retreat in Mid-Coast Maine, where historic charm meets modern comfort in a private and refined setting. Designed for families and groups, this spacious home offers a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere with tin ceilings, hardwood floors, Smart TVs, and thoughtfully curated details throughout. Located near the Medomak River, scenic trails, Atlantic beaches, and top local dining, the home provides an ideal balance of tranquility and easy access to the best of the region.
The interior features generous living spaces that invite your group to gather comfortably for meals, conversation, and downtime, while the bedrooms offer quiet retreats for restful nights. The fully equipped kitchen includes premium cookware, a dishwasher, and everything needed for preparing and sharing group meals with ease. A complimentary coffee bar is provided with Keurig and drip options, whole bean and ground coffee, tea, sweeteners, and a grinder.
Outdoor living is a highlight of the property, with multiple decks and patios designed for both connection and relaxation. Enjoy morning coffee surrounded by nature, dine alfresco under the stars, or unwind by choosing between gas or wood-burning fire pits. A chef’s BBQ station makes outdoor meals effortless, while open lawn areas provide space to relax or enjoy casual games.
The home offers 2.5 bathrooms and 3 showers, creating a spa-like experience for group stays. Rainfall showers, plush robes, and spa-quality bath products add comfort and convenience, while the Coriander Bedroom features a Parisian-style tub and shower combination for a touch of indulgence. A full laundry setup is available, making longer stays and group travel more comfortable.
For those seeking adventure, the Medomak River boat and kayak launch is just minutes away, along with nearby hiking trails and local parks. The Atlantic coast and area beaches are a short drive from the home, and complimentary beach towels are provided seasonally. Local dining favorites such as Ida’s Wine Bar, Perch Café, Moody’s Diner, and Odd AleWives Brewery are easily accessible and offer a true taste of the region.
The property features a spacious driveway that accommodates multiple vehicles and includes an on-site EV charger for eco-conscious travelers. Keyless self check-in ensures a smooth and stress-free arrival. A personalized guidebook is provided with curated recommendations for local attractions, dining, seasonal events, and hidden gems to help guests make the most of their stay.
A signed Peaceful Stay Agreement is required before check-in and must be completed within 24 hours of booking, or immediately for same-day reservations. Quiet hours are observed from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. to maintain the peaceful village atmosphere. Parties and large gatherings are not permitted, and cats are not allowed. Certain outdoor features and amenities rotate seasonally to ensure the best possible guest experience year-round.
