À propos de cet hĂ©bergement

Escapade à couper le souffle sur les montagnes et l'océan

Si vous recherchez une vue absolument imprenable et un cadre unique apprĂ©ciĂ© en toute intimitĂ© Ă  cinq Ă  huit minutes en voiture de deux villes portuaires pittoresques, cette escapade de vacances est faite pour vous. PerchĂ©e sur un flanc de montagne, cette maison est de construction en rondins / poteaux et poutres avec plan d'Ă©tage ouvert, grand porche enveloppant, lofts, plafond cathĂ©drale, et avec des fenĂȘtres et des lucarnes de tous les cĂŽtĂ©s pour laisser entrer les vues vraiment magnifiques et imposantes. La maison peut accueillir jusqu'Ă  huit personnes dans deux chambres en mezzanine ouvertes et une confortable chambre / bibliothĂšque visuellement privĂ©e sur deux lits queen-size, un canapĂ©-lit queen-size et un canapĂ©-lit gigogne futon, tous trĂšs confortables. Il y a un bain Ă  remous et une douche debout, plus une demi-baignoire avec lavabo encastrĂ©. Une cuisine de campagne comprenant une cuisiniĂšre classique en fonte / Ă©maillĂ©e, une cuisiniĂšre Ă  gaz et des comptoirs en ardoise avec une vue en silvan depuis l'Ă©vier. DĂ©cor Ă©lĂ©gant partout. Cette maison est intime et romantique, tandis que la nature de tous les cĂŽtĂ©s fait entrer l'extĂ©rieur.


Notre vue et notre cadre unique :: ForĂȘts en dessous de vous et champs de bleuets au-dessus, vous regardez par-dessus les cimes des arbres luxuriantes ou cueillez vos propres bleuets en saison au-dessus de la maison. Tous les voisins sont Ă  des hectares et presque complĂštement invisibles. Vous devrez vous casser la nuque pour voir le toit de l'un d'eux derriĂšre vous depuis le grand porche, puis vous ne verrez qu'une partie d'un toit. Vous pouvez voir des pygargues Ă  tĂȘte blanche et des faucons planer en dessous de vous! La paix et la tranquillitĂ© et l'intimitĂ© ici vous Ă©tonneront, et il n'y a pratiquement pas de circulation prĂšs de nous car nous sommes situĂ©s au dĂ©tour d'une petite route pavĂ©e en haut de la pente, et Ă  la fin d'une longue route privĂ©e raide. Un deuxiĂšme bĂątiment discrĂštement utilisĂ©, seulement occupĂ© occasionnellement sur la propriĂ©tĂ© est cachĂ©, vous ne saurez mĂȘme pas qu'il est lĂ . Sur les montagnes environnantes jusqu'Ă  l'ocĂ©an, de tous cĂŽtĂ©s, vous ne verrez que des forĂȘts et des prairies parsemĂ©es de quelques belles maisons au loin avec leurs lumiĂšres gaies la nuit. Vous voyez des dizaines d'Ăźles sur l'ocĂ©an, avec Cadillac Mountain au loin sur le mont. Desert Island dans le parc national d'Acadia Ă  70 km, la moitiĂ© Ă  vol d'oiseau.

Mer, ciel, montagnes, la rĂ©gion :: Le lever du soleil - si vous en avez envie - scintillera sur l'eau et les couchers de soleil la transformeront en rose foncĂ© et les montagnes cĂŽtiĂšres environnantes en rose ou en or. La rĂ©gion offre une possibilitĂ© infinie pour l'amant de la nature, le marin, l'historien, l'amateur d'art, l'observateur d'oiseaux ou le stargazer. Pour ceux qui aspirent Ă  l'eau, il y a des voiles de jour, des chartes coque nue (mieux vaut un skipper expĂ©rimentĂ©), des voyages en phare, des croisiĂšres de pĂȘche au homard et des Ă©co-tours, des pĂątisseries au homard sur les Ăźles, des ferries, l'observation des baleines, des excursions en kayak et en rafting, et des aventures nautiques de trois Ă  six jours sur les grands voiliers classiques et les goĂ©lettes en bois connues localement et historiquement sous le nom de Windjammers. Pour les propriĂ©taires terriens, il existe des sentiers de randonnĂ©e, qui commencent juste devant votre porte, partout dans le parc d'État de Camden Hills et au-delĂ , ainsi que sur des sentiers d'une beautĂ© Ă  couper le souffle connus uniquement des habitants, que nous partagerons avec vous lorsque vous viendrez. Si vous ĂȘtes un amoureux des oiseaux, vous aurez un choeur Ă©crasant de chants d'oiseaux Ă  la maison. Le ciel nocturne est incroyable.

DĂźner, Art, Style de vie :: Il y a une cuisine de classe mondiale et toutes sortes d'expĂ©riences culinaires, des cabanes Ă  poissons au bord de l'eau au français Ă  avoir dans la rĂ©gion, ainsi que le Farnsworth Art Museum, qui abrite la collection Wyeth, et de vieux ports historiques et de fronts de mer pittoresques et animĂ©s partout, remplis de bateaux de pĂȘche, de yachts de luxe du monde entier et de voiliers en bois classiques. La maison est Ă©quipĂ©e d'un accĂšs sans fil et du cĂąble. L'Ă©quipement extĂ©rieur comprend des chaises Adirondack et un barbecue; animaux bien Ă©levĂ©s acceptĂ©s sur approbation. Les enfants sont toujours les bienvenus, bien que la maison ne soit pas spĂ©cifiquement "Ă  l'Ă©preuve des enfants"; il faut aussi faire attention Ă  l'escalier en colimaçon ainsi qu'aux antiquitĂ©s, objets d'art et culturels, car beaucoup sont fragiles. Veuillez Ă©galement prendre soin des meubles en osier.

Wifi gratuit
Climatiseur (grande unitĂ© de fenĂȘtre. Seulement nĂ©cessaire occasionnellement dans le Maine, mais ces derniĂšres annĂ©es, en particulier l'Ă©tĂ© 2018, ont changĂ© les choses; normalement (et cĂ©lĂšbre!) les tempĂ©ratures estivales vont du milieu Ă  la fin des annĂ©es 70 Ă  la basse des annĂ©es 80 ... et l'air relativement sec. Il y a eu des jours chauds et humides cette annĂ©e ... alors cette option sera disponible pour nos invitĂ©s d'Ă©tĂ© et de dĂ©but d'automne!)

This home was even better than the pictures! The space is so cozy and decorated beautifully. The hosts left a huge bouquet of fresh flowers for us along with bread, chocolates, and jams. Checking in and out was super easy and the home had all the accommodations you could need. Definitely will be back!

Gorgeous views, excellent hosts, and everything you need

We enjoyed our stay- from the check in (Melody is extremely responsive and helpful) to the extremely well-appointed home. The views are amazing and we loved watching the birds from the expansive deck. Upon check in, there were fresh flowers and groceries for us (what a nice surprise)! The views are better than in the pictures. We look forward to returning in the future!

Beautifully situated log home with gorgeous views.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 12 days in this peaceful location that was still so accessible to the activities of Camden and Rockland. The house is so embracing and comfortable, and the well-equipped kitchen allowed me to turn out everything from seared sea scallops to blueberry muffins for family and friends. Spent much of my time on the deck, whether with a cup of tea in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, soaking up the views. We will definitely return!

We love this place!

Five of us and our dog cozied up here for two cool, early-autumn nights (just like we did two years ago, with the same feel-so-good results) in order to attend the Common Ground Fair. It's private, peaceful and so soothing here in the mountains. I stretched on the deck beneath a blanket of stars at night, and sipped coffee on the same deck in my nightgown early morning. A wood stove, fresh flowers, and a fridge stocked with fixings for a healthy breakfast ... pure heaven.

Peaceful Retreat

Enjoyed a peaceful, relaxing week celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. The cabin was perfect for that. Melody was responsive to any questions or items needing attention. Great location for exploring the surrounding area. We were greeted with beautiful floral arrangements & lots of goodies/treats. Nice linens. I would pay attention to her notes about privacy - it may be a bit awkward for more than one couple, unless you’re VERY comfortable with one another.

Nice getaway

Make sure you read the host’s review about house. It was our fault that we didn’t realize that there was no air conditioning and the set up of the rooms was weird that when we got in the bedroom, had to walk through the bathroom and the other bedroom to get downstairs. Other than that it was a nice stay.

Hilltop Hideaway

Somehow, this place is both a cabin in the woods and a mountaintop aerie. We all had a great stay for a long weekend getaway to the area. The location was very convenient to Camden/Rockport/Rockland with all that area had to offer: great shopping, restaurants, and hikes. We were there with three dogs and were able to walk them on the property on the driveway and surrounding grass area. The hosts were wonderful.They responded quickly to questions and concerns and went above and beyond supplying us with anything and everything we’d need. They even supplied us with several options for breakfasts, which we all enjoyed thoroughly. The one difficulty was the upstairs bedroom layout, with the bathroom blocking access to the inner bedroom. We sorted that out easily enough though, and everyone was more than comfortable.

Absolutely Perfect

Like several others have said, while some rentals feel cold, this one truly feels like a well loved home, because it is. We had an amazing week long anniversary celebration here and it was everything we needed and more. The views were incredible and the house was immaculately clean, warm and welcoming. The little gestures of extra thought and kindness were really appreciated -- delicious bread, jam, eggs, coffee and creamer for the morning. Fresh flowers throughout, a fully stocked kitchen, and more than enough lovely linens. Melody & Michael, thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us! V, T & bulldogs

Great Views

Melody is very fast and responsive. The house has great views and is very clean. Little welcome goodies are left to enjoy. Traveling with 2 large dogs there was nowhere for a dog to be able to play or use the restroom. There are small patches of grass alongside the hillside driveway. If taking a large vehicle as in and SUV or truck there is no room to turn around the driveway at the top. Otherwise, it was a pleasant peaceful stay with a warm cozy fire on chilly evenings!

Wonderful stay in an eclectic house with lovely views

This is such a lovely property! The house is open plan, so there's not a lot of privacy, but we're a close family, so it didn't matter. The space is comfortable, the kitchen is extremely well-stocked, and the hosts were so kind to provide some staples like milk and creamer, as well as tea and cookies. And the flowers on the table were beautiful. The location was perfect for us - close to hiking trails and beaches, and not too far from Portland and Acadia National Park (1.5 to 2 hours each). The house is tucked away up in the mountain with lovely views, including of the stars on a clear night. You can sit out on the balcony enjoying the view and local birds visiting the feeder, or if it's chilly, the wood-burning stove warms the living room perfectly. It was such a treat to be able to stay there. Thank you, Melody and Michael!

Weekend Home Away from Home

We were in the area for a family wedding and felt as though we were staying at the home of old friends. Melody and Michael are thoughtful and welcoming hosts. All communication prior to and during our stay was helpful and timely. We were delighted by the beautiful bouquet of flowers and selection of fresh fruits, local bread, coffee & tea that welcomed us upon our arrival. Such a kind-hearted detail! The house is cozy and feels like a home away from home with everything you could possibly need made available. The porch is a wonderful extension of the living space and we enjoyed starting the day with the birds while watching the sun rise. The view is simply spectacular- so high up we were looking down on the tree tops! We were even lucky to catch a few trees turning from green to red over the course of the weekend. We were also so pleased that the four legged members of our family were welcomed as well! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

Just what we were looking for

A group of friends and I spent a long weekend at Melody and Michael's wonderful home. It really exceeded our expectations. The house is so welcoming and we felt at home from the moment we walked it. Unlike a lot of rentals that have been stripped of their personal touches, this truly felt like a home and one that we were comfortable settling into. It is stocked with everything that you could need to cook, chill on the deck, read, and relax. Somehow it is filled with interesting things but doesn't feel cluttered and is very clean. We were a group of 7. As others have mentioned, it is an open set up, so don't expect private bedrooms at all and there isn't really noise privacy with either bathroom. That said, it totally worked for us as a group of close friends who have traveled together many times. We actually stayed in another "fancier" home for a few nights after and found ourselves missing Melody's place. Really love this house and would definitely return.

Mountain Views, peaceful respite

Lovely. While some rentals feel sterile, this truly feels like a home. Great communication from Melody throughout, from scheduling the rental, to encouraging us to call her or her house manager at any hour (there was no need). Welcomed by the rock garden, 3 gorgeous flower arrangements, and a kitchen stocked with eggs, bread, butter, juice, coffee, jams, honey, fruit- all you need for breakfast your first morning and more. Well stocked kitchen with cookware and basic supplies needed for preparing and storing meals. Comfy furniture, good reading lights and lovely mountaintop views from the sofa and the deck (bring your sunscreen). After a day of hiking, what a treat to come back to that deep, long jacuzzi tub. I personally loved close up views of birds at the feeder, and an ample supply of seed for refilling them. We were seeking a week of respite and relaxation and got exactly what we needed. Thanks Melody and Michael - sorry we didn’t get to meet you and hope to in the future.

Girls Weekend for the Win!

We loved our stay here. The property is tucked away on a very quiet street. Every morning and evening, we sat on the deck and watched and listened to the birds. It was so relaxing! The house was spotless and there were plenty of soft towels, blankets and beach towels. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pans, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, tea kettle, spices - not to mention the breakfast and snack items that were provided. The house is close to Camden and to the Samoset Resort where we walked the breakwater. The host was quick to respond and very accommodating. The description is dead-on about the "no auditory privacy", so although this was not an issue for us, it definitely should be considered when booking. There wasn't A/C (as is also mentioned in the description), but several fans were provided and kept the house comfortable. The entrance staircase to the house is steep and narrow so could be difficult for some people. Overall, I highly recommend this for a peaceful, away-from-the-crowds place to stay when in the area. We would definitely stay here again.

Quiet Hillside Cabin

Very well done, quiet and private. Close to nearby touristy things on the coast and Hwy 1. Open floor plan allows for some visual privacy, but no sound breaks in the sleeping areas. Worked well for our family but could be tricky in other situations. Overall, we enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.

Romantic Maine getaway

Outstanding, responsive and communicative hosts, breathtaking unique home, great location. So much to do within minutes. Best welcome goodies ever: dozen farm fresh eggs, blackberries, blueberries, milk, almond milk, half and half, OJ, loaf of artisanal bread, jams, cookies (including gluten free!), honey, maple syrup
likely forgot something
it was all wonderful. Very high quality ‘usuals’ as well: soaps, shampoo and conditioner, paper towels, plentiful towels and linens. Excellent use of space in this open plan home with numerous cozy sitting areas. Wide variety of books and magazines, gorgeous flowers and plants, interesting antiques and trinkets from world travels. Plenty of empty drawers and closet space for unpacking. The views are spectacular even though ‘ocean view’ is a stretch. On a clear day you can see Penobscot Bay very much in the distance from certain vantage points. Heed the extremely accurate description: there is no auditory privacy: bathroom, snoring, cooking, etc. all very audible everywhere. The driveway and steps are steep. None of these facts bothered us (just two of us celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary with our 2 well-behaved CKCS). We highly recommend this gem in midcoast Maine and thank Melody and Michael for sharing their beautiful home with us.

Relaxing!

So glad we found this VRBO rental- we had a wonderful, relaxing visit staying in this cozy home. The close proximity to Rockland and Camden, while at the same time being away from it all is perfect. This is an ideal place to be able to relax and/or enjoy some excellent restaurants, shopping and hiking. The views are amazing and we had enjoyed several visits from a Pileated Woodpecker, while we relaxed on the deck. The house is very welcoming and we found wonderful gifts of cookies, eggs, juice, milk, creamers, coffee and stunning fresh cut flower bouquets waiting for us! This attention to detail made us feel like honored guest when we arrived.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

This was our dream house. We knew the man who built it, a friend of ours, Cpt. Rick Miles, former Master of the Pilot Schooner Timberwind out of Rockport Harbor at the time, now Master of the Wanderbird, who built it with his own hands. Its Post & Beam log components are from a kit shipped from Canada, but many of the features are hand-finished by Rick and his wife Karen, some by us. It is minutes from all the activities of the mid coast, but set apart, with a sense of remoteness and freedom from the bustle of the world, sweeping views and with an immense sense of privacy, completely surrounded by nature. The setting is unique, on a steep hill with a very dramatic drop, Mountains & Sea

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

We love renting our house in part because it has become a resounding success as a business, in part because it is a personal pleasure to us to share it with others. The place is that unique! Having the opportunity to give others the experience of it is very satisfying. The house has a tendency to select its own guests, people for whom it is a perfect fit. It has elements of a Swiss Chalet and a Maine cottage, an Adirondack camp or a Maine summer retreat that might appeal to one of the old families that summer here. It in fact has some appointments that belonged to such a family, my own, At the same time it is decidedly rustic in all the right ways, with a unique air of authenticity and charm, something very hard to find. If you add to all of that the breathtaking way the outside breaks into the house, the way the views pervade every room, the light of dawn or dusk transform the place in new ways each day and each hour, then you have a place unlike any other, a sort of gem that in this day and age is increasingly difficult to find.
