Wow! This property has spectacular views and beautiful light at all times of the day, looking across the water and the lawn. Nighttime brings brilliant stars over the water. Sunrise on the dock with a coffee in-hand...perfect. The privacy and peacefulness…serene.
The home itself is a gorgeous, gracious place with a story. You can see the history with the character of each room. As you explore the house you can’t help but think of all the families and friends that have gathered over the years to appreciate a place of relaxation and simplicity.
This home has many rooms from which to choose: queen-sized to full-sized beds to twin beds. Each room has a look of its own…and the pictures captured exactly how beautiful it was. While the home was too big for our small family, we would definitely keep it in mind for a larger gathering when times get back to normal.
The home is family and pet friendly. We traveled with an 8 year old and two labs. There was something for everyone, even the children’s clubhouse down by the water. We brought games to play and books to read. Before we arrived, we thought we’d have a fire in the fire place, but we ended up not doing that, since the weather was warm and having a fire might have been too much trouble, but we’ll never know, since we didn’t try. Our child filled the rooms with piano music (which was tuned prior to our arrival!) each night...a delight. The kitchen is fully equipped – a kitchen made for those who love to cook. The appliances were a bit on the older side, but that was part of the home’s charm.
We visited Marshall Lighthouse and Acadia, drove the coast, hiked/biked in the area, rode horses, enjoyed ice cream in Damariscotta, and stayed at the house playing frisbee, walking the shore, and relaxing.
The owner was highly attentive and responded to every inquiry leading up to our arrival and when we were there at the house. We were prepared with what to pack due to COVID-19, like hand soaps, games, etc. He was helpful with questions about things to do in the area. There is also a useful binder in the home. The owner allowed us to store our bikes in the garage so we didn’t have to tote them with us everywhere. On the day of our arrival, he made sure an operating grill was available to us, which was purchased and installed the day before we got to the home! He was attentive and helped make our time relaxing and enjoyable.
We look forward to going back again!
