Family friendly pond-side retreat - Short distance to Bowdoin, beaches, hikes

Imagine taking a step back in time but with all the modern conveniences! This quiet pond-side post-and-beam provides plenty of fresh air and wildlife.

Our beloved family home is just minutes away from the charming village of Brunswick, Bowdoin College, restaurants, and beaches. We provide guests with a list of our favorite spots, including two gorgeous sandy beaches within 30 minutes. This is a great location if you love to kayak, paddleboard or boat - with many spots to put in hand carried boats as well as a boat launch just two minutes down the road.

Since this is our family home, it is furnished and stocked like so. We hope you feel like you're staying at a friend's house. You are welcome to an abundance of spices, condiments, and any dry goods available. We love to cook, so there are plenty of stainless steel pans to make a luxurious and gourmet dinner without having to do dishes in between. We have a high chair, bibs, and a set of kids plates and bowls.

The chef's kitchen opens up to a fireplaced dining room, featuring a long table awaiting a late night card game. A two-story fireplace accents the great room complete with a family-sized sectional and large TV. Hook up to the sonos speakers to make yourself feel at home.

Coffee or cocktails on the screened porch and pond-side fire pit will make lasting memories of your vacation. Each porch overlooks a large swath of lawn, perfect for kiddo play time. The driveway is prime for sidewalk chalk or practicing on the bike.

Each bedroom is peaceful and cozy, with windows peeking into the forest. The house has one pack and play crib for a kiddo, with a mattress topper and sheets. We also provide an audio monitor and sleep machine to help aid nap time.

Our home may be on a dead end road, yet it is only a short walk to the local fresh fish market. They also have great chowder, lobsters and fried seafood dinners.
