Glorious sunsets, simple and inviting gardens, footpaths. Just steps to a picturesque typical Maine beach. Main house has spacious master suite including walk in shower with heated tile floors.

Having friends join you for a few days….the fully furnished one bedroom apartment above the detached garage has a kitchenette, full bathroom, living area and queen size bed is perfect for guests. Charcoal grill for slow and relaxing dinners and an ocean side landscaped fire pit perfect for s’mores while you watch the stars. The house is on an island. there is a car ferry that runs between the mainland and the island every 30 minutes from 7 am to 5 pm 7 days a week and a smaller non car ferry that will run into the evening or anytime per request. Islesboro has 2 country stores with all the provisions one would need to make a 5 course meal. There are a few small shops and even a great place for ice-cream. The Island however does not have any restaurants so if you are looking for wild nights out its probably not the place. We have in the past taken the ferry back during the day and go to Camden for lunch and window shopping. The Island is famous for its large mansions that are owned by such Hollywood stars as John Travolta and Kristy Alley along with a smattering of hedge fund traders and bigwig lawyers. People come to Islesboro to get away from the crowds and recharge their batteries. It is tradition to give a wave while driving to fellow drivers and walkers! No pets or smoking please.

BirchView is a beautiful summer cottage on a spring-fed lake, five miles inland from Mid-Coast Maine's ocean. It has been our private summer home for over 35 years. Our children are grown and gone with their own families, and so , we have opened it up to rent to selected guests who will love it and care for it as much as we do. Built in 1924 in a pine grove secluded from the eyes of neighboring cottages, BirchView is large -- 3,000 square feet -- and is completely furnished; 3 bedrooms with new queen-sized beds, one room of which also has a child's bed; 2 full bathrooms; 32-ft eat-in kitchen; a 12 foot dining table in the lake room to enjoy your meals while watching for loons and eagles; a library with a fireplace, two comfy sofas, a reclining chair, thousands of books, and hundreds of family-friendly video tapes; an upstairs living room (adjacent to the bedrooms) with sofas and chairs that overlook the lake. We face west and are blessed with the most beautiful sunsets imaginable! Please enjoy our private beach, kayak, and giant inner tubes. Fed by 3 fresh-water springs, Swan Lake is pristine, quiet, and small -- only 3 miles long. For those who worry that a Maine lake may be cold, let us assure you that the water temperature is usually 76 degrees, very refreshing. (The nearby ocean, on the other hand, is 55 degrees!) July and August are our best months weather-wise, but may I tell you how gleeful I was to experience my first September as a retired teacher? I learned quickly what all Mainers already know: the September lake is still warm and highly swimmable. Days are sunny, nights are cool, and maple trees are busy preparing for Show-and-Tell. Here's hoping another retiring teacher will love Swan Lake in September as much as I do! October is a mind-blowing kaleidoscope of color, but you will need your down-filled sleeping bag at night! Sara, a previous guest had this to say about BirchView: "We had an absolutely wonderful time in this quintessential Maine lake camp. It is right on the lake, and the panoramic beauty of the place is all around you. The lake itself is cool, clean, and there are virtually no motorboats. I went swimming each and every day. Melinda is an engaged and engaging hostess. She knows Birchview like the back of her hand, and was exceptionally generous in sharing her wisdom with us. Thus, we became acquainted with some of its less obvious delights (eagles at dusk, lucky pebbles, etc.) far more quickly than if we had been lurching around on our own. The property is very special. Some aspects of its layout are ingenious - like the attic windows that open, just under the eaves, to let fresh air flow through the house - keeping it lovely and cool, even in the 90° weather we had last week. The fireplace is the soul of the house, and we found ourselves gathering there in the evening to toast marshmallows, watch classic Disney films, read, or do puzzles. The bedrooms, especially the two that face the lake, are incredibly cozy. The place is spacious and open. If I could go back tomorrow and stay a few more weeks, I'd do so in a split second." As the only guests, you will have full access to the cottage, but please note that Birchview is not wheel-chair accessible. There is a short, easy down-hill walk from the private parking area, and another very short walk down to the lake. (The cottage itself is two floors plus a loft.) Therefore, all guests must be sure-footed and ambulatory. The cottage is fully supplied. Fresh linens, sheets, and towels will be provided to guests who are flying to Maine. Guests who are driving are welcome to bring their own favorite sheets, blankets, and pillows. The cottage draws its water from the lake. It is suitable for bathing and washing dishes, but we no longer drink or cook with it. Bottled water will be provided. Please note: By choice we have neither an automatic dishwasher, nor a clothes washer. This is a summer cottage, after all, designed to access the Happy Camper in each of us! There is no internet, but we have tons of books, games, and videos. Cell phone coverage cannot be guaranteed; it depends on your phone and carrier. I am a rockhound. I spend hours patrolling the beach, looking for interesting rocks. The lore in my family (and others as well) hints that rocks with an unbroken circle are "lucky" rocks. Our beach has loads of them. It also has spectacular green granite rocks. In the library you will find lots of lots of rocks I have collected from our beach throughout the years. Maybe BirchView will encourage you to take up a new hobby! We suggest that first-time guests to Maine try to arrange a two-week stay because there is so much to do and see, all within driving distance. The cottage rental fees reflect this suggestion. First week, $1500, second week $1300, plus the fees charged by the agency. Near by we have Acadia National Park; Bar Harbor with shops and whale sight-seeing adventures;, even a fast ferry to Nova Scotia. Mt. Katahdin, the northernmost point of the Appalachian Trail; Belfast, a very charming harbor town with lots of shops and art galleries; Camden, the harbor town which Walter Cronkite called the most beautiful in America; Old Orchard Beach with big ocean waves to jump around in, and Funtown a fantastic water park which delights children and adults alike. For lighthouse buffs, there are several in the area; breakwaters, too. The ferry boat in Rockland goes to the famous, little islands off the Maine coast and welcomes cars, bikes, and pedestrians.

Charming cottage just a few feet from quiet Tilden Pond with screened porch. Kitchen is well equipped. Southwest exposure for outdoor dinners and great sunsets. Loons, bald eagles, wild turkey, cranes, osprey, beaver, otters, and moose are sometimes seen. Fishing poles and canoe are provided as there is great small and large mouth bass fishing. Only six miles to Belfast and coast. Wonderful place for canoe or kayaking, swimming, fishing, and birdwatching. This is a special spot.

Treat yourself to a real Maine experience - stay in a 1800-sq foot pine log cabin nestled in the woods off a dirt road, on a private lake. This newly constructed, charming log home sits on beautiful Coleman Pond (no public access with an across-the-pond-view of 150 acres of undeveloped conservation land). A private dock awaits you for hours of swimming, fishing, boating and floating in tubes. Enjoy your morning coffee on the porch listening to the call of the loons, curl up in the comfy rope hammock with a good book, or cozy up to the fire pit for campfire songs and s'mores. This cabin was built with year-round use in mind, and is equipped with a modern kitchen with red painted cabinets, soapstone counters, a soapstone farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, a dishwasher, and a full-sized washer and dryer. Surf and turf feasts are easy to prepare with the propane lobster cooker and Weber gas grill. House has two full bathrooms, front-loading washer/dryer, high-speed wifi access, telephone, radiant floor heat, working glass-front wood stove, and ceiling fans in each bedroom. Dine indoors with dimmed chandelier or outdoors on two picnic tables. House is fully stocked with cooking utensils, pots/pans, glassware, dishes, linens and towels. Old Town Discovery canoe and paddles, two single kayaks, paddleboard, assorted life jackets, and various inflatable tubes available for renter use.

Currently we are not renting the barn as part of the rental. The owners are on premises. Come enjoy a 22 room, 10- bedroom 1800's rustic farmhouse overlooking Saturday Cove in Northport, Maine. Ideal for large weekly rentals. Seven acres of gardens, orchards and trails are carefully set up on a hillside above Penobscot Bay. A Large parlor, library, dining room, master bedroom with full bath and large walk-in closet highlight a 10 bedroom retreat that has maintained the charm of the 19th century as well as some outrageous wallpaper from past decades. A wrap around porch offers pleasant evening sunsets. An elegant covered deck and stone terrace provide beautiful views toward Isleboro, Penobscot Bay and unforgettable sunrises. Saturday Cove Farm is perfectly located halfway between the historic sea village of Camden and the funky art community of Belfast. Dozens of restaurants and art galleries are within minutes. Sailing, bicycling, hiking and swimming are available steps outside of the estate. Days of the week for arrival or departure are also flexible. If you are up for an adventure stay in one of the enchanting bedrooms and awake to a gourmet breakfast with eggs from our farm or perhaps enjoy a traditional lobster bake with lobster hauled from outside the cove. Guided sea kayak trips and bike tours are also available. Relaxation, solitude and a unique ambiance that truly can not be equaled is what we try to offer with this one of a kind vacation estate.

A lighthouse across the Bay continues to direct some large vessels to Bucksport. In the fog, you may hear the fog horn sound every 7 seconds. The beach is a great spot for walking, collecting beach glass, and driftwood. Our regulars like to build forts on the beach with the many shapes and sizes of driftwood that wash up. There are also a couple of lakes in the area if you would like to visit some fresh water. We are equal distance to Belfast, Bangor and Ellsworth. Short drive to many coastal Maine towns; 12 min to Blue Hill, 7 min to Castine, 45 min to Acadia National Park, and 60 min to Camden/Rockport. I do my major grocery shopping in Bucksport, a comfortable 10 mile country drive. One bedroom on the ground floor has a double bed, One upstairs bedroom has a double bed and the other 2 twins. Maine has a rich literary history - and if you are bringing your kids, grab a copy of some Robert McCloskey favorites; One Morning In Maine, Burt Dow Deep Water Man, Time of Wonder. We can give you directions to Condon's Garage so you can eat ice cream by the harbor and read these iconic books to your kids. Burt Dow's headstone is only a short drive from there, and the locals regularly adorn it with a painted buoy. We like to think Giggling Gull visits from time to time.

Many people have told us that our home is one of the most charming on Islesboro. The house retains the character of the original summer house built in 1908, and it sits in a very special place - a narrow peninsula of land giving the house oceanfront at its front and back. A long porch at the front of the house is just 7 feet up and 12 feet back from high tide. And the shore is actually a sandy beach, something very rare along this stretch of the Maine coast. If you are a boater, there are moorings available just off shore. The front of the house faces Sabbathday Harbor & Ryder's Cove, around which cottages such as this one were built around 1900 by families coming down for the summer from Bangor on the steamboats that in those days made regular stops at Ryder's Cove. Further out on the narrow peninsula there is a rocky promontory from which still other ocean views can be had. The whole area has a magic that words cannot describe. The house sleeps 6-10 persons (best fit for ~4 adults/4 children or 6 adults). There are 3 bedrooms, 1 additional room, and 1 full bath on the second floor (queen-size bed in one bdrm, two single beds in another, queen size bed in another, and two twin beds in the other room). There is also an office on the first floor with a full size sleep sofa. And there is a half bath on the first floor. The first floor has a large open area for living and dining, an enclosed sun porch, and a kitchen. There are many window on the first floor, particularly on the glassed-in sun porch, which has an especially light and airy feel to it. The furnishings are in keeping with the age of the home. The house was built in 1907/1908. One hundred years later, over the winters of 2007/2008 and 2008/2009, major restoration/repair of the house was completed including installation of foundation piers, restoration of south side porch, interior structural improvements (e.g., stiffening of second floor), removal of modern sheet rock in one bedroom, changes to second floor windows to make them impervious to weather, new hardwood floors, new roof and some new siding shingles, restoration of inoperable doors and windows, removal of thick/peeling old paint on trim and repainting. More recently, in 2011, additional restoration and improvements were made, including installation of foundation piers and new floor for the sun porch; lengthening of kitchen counter with new dishwasher; and construction of a new shed for garden tools All of the work was done with a careful eye to maintaining or restoring the original character of the house. Available for Rental: Memorial Day - Columbus Day; Weekly rentals (7 night minimum); Sunday - Sunday.

Our cottage sits on a small bluff directly overlooking Penobscot Bay. About 15 feet from the cottage deck is our private stairs, leading to the water's edge. Maine's coastline is more rocky than sandy -- our "beach" is perfect for rock scrambling. And there is a little dock at the foot of the stairs where some guests take their morning coffee or store a kayak or just sit and think. The water is cold for swimming, but is ideal for rowing and canoeing and kayaking if one isn't hardy enough to take a swim There are little islands nearby to explore, but my favorite thing to do is to paddle out into the bay and sit quietly until the golden seals pop up around me. We rent the cottage by the week, or multiple weeks. Our weeks run from Saturday to Saturday. The cottage is fully furnished with linens, towels, cookware, dishware, and glassware. It is cleaned and the laundry is done before each guest arrives. There’s a nice-sized master bedroom with a queen-sized bed. In the dining/living greatroom there’s a daybed/sofa with a trundle, which becomes two twin beds. That room is quite attractive, I think: it has a cathedral ceiling and along one wall is the brick fireplace, while one entire other wall is windowed to look out across the water. Also, there are two charming, cozy sleeping lofts -- one of them looks across the bay and the other looks west, across a field. Each of these lofts has access via pulldown stairs. The lofts were designed for the children of the family that originally built the cottage -- they are fun and sweet and, oddly enough, pretty darned comfortable (which I know from sleeping in them quite often as an adult!). They each have futons and a little table with a little lamp on it. There is only one bathroom. It has been entirely renovated and expanded in 2019. It has a shower stall. The cottage kitchen isn’t large enough to eat in, but it’s not small, and the appliances are in good working order. There’s an electric stove, a microwave oven, a normal-sized refrigerator, as well as various kinds of coffee makers and a toaster oven. There are no laundry facilities in the cottage, but there is a laundromat in Castine, and another one in Bucksport. All well-behaved pets are welcome at our cottage.

Imagine discovering a property with three (3) buildings nested perfectly to ensure exceptional view corridors to the sea, while also allowing a family or professional group to mingle but also elude each other. Delight in a well appointed, not stuffy but comfortable and secluded, compound. A place you can nap after tennis, enjoy a good coffee and book, or stay up late under the stars sipping wine with old friends and laughing effortlessly. Now consider that it’s in the most adorable seaside village in Maine. A legendary and near mythical village- with a cast of characters not soon forgotten. This is an extraordinary bundling of three dwellings on the same property. A Big House, a Tiny House and a new Carriage House. This allows a pod of friends & family to gather together, dine under the moon or also isolate with their immediate family for indoor dining, etc. The home is professionally cleaned, airy and light-filled, South facing with ample decks, terraces and even a rooftop lounge from which to take in the salty air and sea breezes, to relax and restore. The lot sits high atop a hill in Castine with panoramic views of the bay, it is south facing; ensuring lots of sunshine and, aside from a neighbor to the West, it is super secluded -unlike most in Castine. Ten bedrooms yet with ability to accommodate others even -on fold out couches, etc -means the price/ person is cheaper that a youth hostel but as splendid as any area hotel. In other words it’s a great value, leaving plenty of hard-earned dollars left over for lobster rolls, ice cream and frozen drinks! Simply put, it all came together in the last two years, the Tiny House and Carriage House enjoining the Big House to create a perfect retreat space -especially during this difficult chapter we’ve all found ourselves. Skip the elevators and daily change overs, the license plates from ‘round the country and the hustle and bustle of nearby Bar Harbor- this summer treat yourself and your loved ones to a private estate, near to almost anything you desire (tennis, golf, hiking and biking, beach fires and s’mores!) but yet far from stranger danger! Come to Castine and rusticate at Ted’s place!

Savor the view from the front porch, relax with a good book, or chat with neighbors as they stroll by -- this is a friendly summer community! Dyer Cottage sleeps six in three bedrooms (one queen, one double and a set of twins) and one bath. We furnish bed linens, but you should plan to bring your own towels.

Visible from the front porch, the water's edge is just a block away -- as is the Village Center, a family-friendly focal point for summer fun. Children frolic on the playground swings, while older kids play pick-up games on the basketball court. At the Village pier and float, children of all ages splash in the bay under the careful watch of a lifeguard. Youngsters can learn to sail in classes offered through the Village Yacht Club. Rental kayaks are available nearby, and can be beached here. Many summer residents are sailors, and their moored boats dot the Bayside shoreline. Northport Golf Club is just a few blocks away and welcomes visitors. Historic Bayside: Established as a Wesleyan summer camp meeting community in the 1800s, Bayside's original homes -- tents on wooden platforms -- were subsequently transformed into Victorian gingerbread cottages that now are gaily painted in a variety of hues. The village comes to life during the summer season, with American flags flying, colorful flowers overflowing their planter boxes, cats snoozing in the sun, residents rocking on their front porches, and friendly folks strolling the streets and socializing along the way. Nearby Attractions: From Bayside, it's just a short drive to Lincolnville Beach, where the ferry leaves for Islesboro. A few miles farther down are hiking trails in the Camden Hills (Mt. Battie), and the beautiful town and harbor of Camden. The Farnsworth Museum, famous for its Wyeth collection and more, is situated not far beyond Camden in Rockland, another seaport, which offers day cruises and overnight windjammer sails. A little farther down the coast you can cruise to Puffin Island, where the birds were reintroduced successfully in the 1980s, or visit a botanical garden in Boothbay Harbor. In the opposite direction, you can head into picturesque Belfast with its new shipbuilding facility and small working harbor. In Searsport, don't miss the Penobscot Marine Museum with its historical perspective on the area's seafaring days. Farther East are the Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory, and historic Fort Knox. On up the coast are spectacular Acadia National Park (not to be missed!) and the towns of Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Seal Harbor and Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island. There you can go sightseeing, whale-watching, island-hopping, and more. En route you'll pass a water park in Ellsworth, mini-golf, and other attractions. Antiques shops, art galleries and restaurants abound throughout the Midcoast Region. Countless families make Bayside their annual vacation destination throughout their children's growing up years -- and beyond. Kids who come for successive summers establish lifelong friendships.

I am beginning my fifth summer hosting--it is so fabulous to meet guests from all over the world once again. It was necessary to unlist last summer due to Covid. Read the reviews and come stay and you will love it. Covid Rule for booking: I would like to know if you have had vaccines and if not, if you would object to a local Negative Covid test, then you will not want to book here. I have to protect myself (I have been vaccinated) and all of my other guests. Note:: I do not take check-ins later than 8pm. Check-in is from 4-8 pm. I ask my guests to remember this when booking, as there have been one or two instances where guests don't realize or notice the timing. I am somewhat flexible in rare situations, but just need to know my guests ETA. My home is a 5 minute drive to iLncolnville Beach, a sweet small town beach with a Lobster Pound and a Lobster Shack, ferry and a few gift shops. Also near are Ducktrap River, Camden Harbor, Belfast Harbor, Megunticook Lake. The property is located midcoast for easy day trips to Portland, Bar Harbor, Blue Hill, many festivals, farmer's markets and fabulous restaurants and shopping. There are schooner trips from Camden Harbor, boat trips from Belfast, local fishing. and about 2 miles from Lincolnville Beach...a sweet, small beach town. There are also many places to rent kayaks and bicycles. I serve coffee and a snack in the morning, . Note: I have a two day minimum reservation and a 7 night maximum reservation. I do not accept pets, please do not ask. The Guest Studio is inside my home is totally private with several rooms and spaces between the Studio and kitchen, bathroom and my room. There seems to be a bit of confusion this year as inquires have been about a cottage. I have had the same language for 4 years. The Studio is called a Studio as it is two rooms combined, but open. The Studio living room is at one end with a gas Jotul stove for cool nights and Queen bed at the other end. The pictures are very accurate. There is a window air conditioner. The guest studio, has current photos -- many guests are surprised at the size and that the space actually looks as it does in the photos. Other: My home has 3 Queen size beds in 3 bedrooms. I will be renting out the entire house for $1800 for those guests who seem a great fit. The week I have available this summer is August 22-28. There is a separate listing on VRBO so please let me know if you want more info. As well, I am choosing a week in Oct. tentatively Oct. 9-15 for leaf peeping season.

The People: Our area's rare beauty is paralleled by its sense of place.

You will be welcomed with open arms. 10. Firefly Cottage is THE best value on Hobbs Pond and especially in our surrounding area.
