Sweet Retreat on a Tidal Estuary near Popham Beach ~ The Sam Day Hill House

In Phippsburg's historic Parker Head neighborhood, the Sam Day Hill House sits on an open hill surrounded by 3.5 wooded acres. Overlooking the Kennebec Estuary, it's a birder's paradise. The wrap-around porch is fully screened in the spring and summer (we remove the screens in the fall for even better views of the bird migrations.)

If you ever want to leave this sweet spot, the Sam Day Hill House is close to beaches, trails, lobster rolls on the water, boat launches, lighthouses, and all things Maine. Walk Popham Beach at low tide, hike to the uncrowded Seawall Beach, wander through Fort Popham’s granite remains, cruise to lighthouses with the Maine Maritime Museum, grab provisions at the cool shops in Bath’s historic downtown (20 minutes up the road,) ...and come home to our peaceful retreat. The moment you head up the winding driveway you'll know why this is our fairytale home come true.
