Jaw-Dropping Coastal Mountain & Ocean View Post & Beam Log Getaway

If you are looking for absolutely stunning views and a unique setting enjoyed in complete privacy five to eight minutes drive from two quaint harbor towns, then this vacation getaway is for you. No pet fees, no cleaning fees, no extra person fees. Perched high on a mountainside, this house is of Log/Post and Beam construction with a very, very open floor plan (please read the description carefully to make sure it’s a goof fit), large wrap-around porch, lofts, cathedral ceiling, and with windows and skylights on all sides to let in the truly magnificent, commanding vistas.

The house is a ski-lodge-style Post and Beam log house. It has a very open floor plan with visual privacy or potential visual privacy for the sleeping arrangements but no auditory privacy to speak of except in the downstairs powder room. With groups larger than one couple that needs to be considered, but those who book after my "open floor plan speech" reminder tend to have a wonderful time. Also note: it has a spiral staircase and fairly steep entry way stairs. It is not built to be accessible but we have hosted unusually fit people in their nineties. Use your judgement.

The house sleeps up to eight people in two open loft bedrooms and a cozy, visually private guestroom/library on two Queen sized beds, one Queen sofa bed and one full-sized futon pullout sofa, all very comfortable. There is a whirlpool tub and a stand-up shower, plus a half bath with sunken vessel sink. A country kitchen including a classic cast iron/enameled cook stove, gas range, and slate counter tops with silvan views from the sink. Elegant décor throughout. This house is intimate and romantic, while nature on all sides brings the outside in.


Our View and our Unique Setting:: Forests below you and blueberry fields above, you look down over the lush treetops or pick your own blueberries in season above the house. All neighbors are acres away and almost completely invisible. You will have to crick your neck to see the rooftop of one of them behind you from the wide porch, and then you will only see a part of a roof. You may see bald eagles and hawks soar below you! The peace and quiet and privacy here will amaze you, and there is virtually no traffic near us as we are situated at the turnaround of a small paved road high on the slope, and at the end of a long, steep private drive. A discretely used, only occasionally occupied second building on the property is tucked away out of sight, you won't even know that it is there. On the surrounding mountains to the Ocean, on all sides you will see nothing but forests and meadows dotted by a few fine houses in the distance with their cheerful lights at night. You see dozens of the islands on the Ocean, with Cadillac Mountain in the distance on Mt. Desert Island in Acadia National Park 43 miles away, half that as the crow flies.

Sea, Sky, Mountains, the Area:: The sunrise—if you are up for it—will sparkle on the water and sunsets will turn it a deep pink and the surrounding coastal mountains rose or gold. The area provides infinite possibility for the Nature lover, sailor, historian, art aficionado, birdwatcher or stargazer. For those who long for the water there are day sails, bareboat charters (better be an experienced skipper), lighthouse trips, lobster fishing cruises and eco-tours, lobster-bakes on islands, ferries, whale-watching, kayak and rafting trips, and three to six day nautical adventures on the classic tall ships and wooden schooners known locally and historically as Windjammers. For landlubbers there are hiking trails, starting right outside your door, all over Camden Hills State Park and beyond, as well as on breathtakingly beautiful trails known only to locals, which we will share with you when you come. If you are a bird lover, you will have an overwhelming chorus of birdsong right up at the house. The night sky is amazing.

Dining, Art, Life-style:: There is world-class cuisine and all manner of dining experiences, from waterfront fish-shacks to French to be had in the area, as well as the Farnsworth Art Museum, home of the Wyeth collection, and historic old harbors and quaint, busy waterfronts everywhere, filled with fishing vessels, luxury yachts from all over the world, and classic wooden sailboats. The house is equipped with wireless access and cable. Outdoor equipment includes Adirondack chairs and barbecue grill; well-behaved pets allowed upon approval. Children always welcome, although the house is not specifically "childproofed"; also some care must be taken with the spiral staircase as well as the antiques, art and cultural objects, as many are fragile. Please take care of wicker furniture as well thanks.

Free Wifi (fast and ready for work from home!)
Air Conditioner is not installed, but available upon request (large “portable” unit with windows vent and window mounted unit in the loft). Only needed occasionally in Maine during rare heat waves; normally (and famously!) the summer temps are mid-to upper 70’s to low 80’s....and comparatively dry air. There were some hot muggy days in the past two years ...so that option is available to our summer and early fall guests! Let us know. But do try the natural way first, it’s what we ourselves and many guests prefer; you’ll love the breezes and the incredible bird song! We also have multiple fans in every room and a large ceiling fan that operates quietly from the wall between the lofts. The wood beams are made of hickory which can emit a woodsy, musky smell on humid summer days if you close all windows, that may be a new experience, like being in a forest. You will generally feel connected to nature in this place!!
