This cabin is our family getaway in Maine, and we invite you to share it with us. Built in 2004-2006 by many friends and relations, it sits on the east shore of Penobscot Bay, about 6 hours from Vershire VT and Amherst MA. Downstairs is kitchen/living/dining, full bath, outdoor shower, two covered porches, and two beds including the "sun bay." Upstairs is the queen bed in the master bedroom, anoth
er queen bed in the tiny NW room (our favorite) a loft off the NW room, two other beds under the eaves, the "writers garret" with inspirational view, and a half -bath. Immediate attractions are the very private sand/cobble beach for strolling swimming and beach fires, hammocks to rest in, canoe to paddle, and woodstove and books to curl up with on rainy days. Right from the top of the driveway are numerous road biking possibilities, with Deer Isle and Blue Hill reachable in a long day.
3 miles away is the historic village of Castine, http://castine.me.us, founded 1613, site of the United States' worst naval defeat, with numerous shops, restaurants, boat tours, sea kayak rentals, museums and lovely old architecture. And within an hours drive is Blue Hill with its endless blueberries, Deer Isle with its sea kayaking, and Acadia National Park with its spectacular mountain and coast scenery, carriage roads for biking, and wonderful rocky trails. Rental is by the week, Saturday-Saturday, from mid-June to late October. See posts for current availability
Multiple adjacent weeks booked together, deduct $70 cleaning fee. Partial/pro-rated weeks available. Non-roaming pets welcome, no smoking. Cell phones work well, no land line, no internet (yet...) We'd love to have you give it a try!
