We LOCVED our stay here. We arrived after dark - lights were left on inside so we could see. There were soft, cozy blankets throughout the house. The house was spotless and the views were stunning. We even got to see a family of bald eagles right outside our window. Highly recommended - and would definitely come back again!

You'll want a car to explore any surrounding areas, but you also would have all you need to enjoy a week right at the house. This area of Maine does not have consistent rideshare service. If you need help with coordinating transportation, let me know ahead of time.
