à propos de cet hébergement
Historic waterfront cottage offers quiet, comfortable intimacy.
Ideal for writer/artist/composer seeking solitary creativity; a couple wanting a truly intimate getaway; a nature lover or bird-watcher or hiker wanting perfect conditions to follow a path of discovery.
The founder of Frenchboro, Israel Lunt, chose this site in the early 1820s on which to build his original home (which the current owner occupies). The guest cottage of the same vintage was later moved to its location between the house and the newly constructed barn . This charming, Colonial-style cottage has a comfortable open concept living space downstairs with full kitchen, and bath, room to lounge, with two plush chairs and a sofa that converts to a queen sized bed, and a window-side table with harbor view for morning coffee or journaling. The upstairs loft offers privacy with a plush double bed and two singles (perfect for young offspring). You will all enjoy the harbor-front view, private beach, able to witness the small lobster fishing fleet coming and going (with just-caught dockside lobsters at about $8 a pound). On this 5.5 square mile island that is 75 percent Maine Coast Heritage Trust land, you have access - with no crowds, ever! - to more than 13 miles of wilderness waterfront walking trails (more than Acadia) and moss-strewn woods that are magical to explore. You will discover an island with zero vehicle traffic (except briefly on the three days of the week (Wednesday, Thursday., Sunday) when the ferry comes from Bass Harbor). Frenchboro will surround you will a peacefulness-inducing vibration from the surrounding ocean wave action and frequent wind through the trees. (And you can listen to your own heart beat.) You have a full kitchen with the usual amenities, or you may choose to grill outside. This property has its own pier on the harbor where you are welcome to lounge or dive in - safely at high tide! If your daily life makes you wish to be far from the madding crowd, this is the place for you - friends and family and lover(s). Every guest who has stayed here has loved it! But it requires some planning around the ferry schedule, so consider when you wish to arrive and when to leave, as the trip from Bass Harbor past Great Gott and Little Gott and Placencia and Black islands provides a unique glimpse of Maine's spectacular archipelagic coast.

I came here first by chance. I would later write this poem about that day:
Coming into the Island
I could not have known
Motoring into that small Maine dagger-shaped harbor
On the island where we had never been before
(To pick up a mooring just for the night)
That my feet would soon take me
Around the harbor road
A macadam necklace open at the throat
Past a log cabin for sale up the western slope
Whose mainland realtor would tell me over the phone
(I just called to inquire what they might want for it)
âIf you want to buy a house on that island, keep walkingâ
So I followed the pot-holed road
Past the daggerâs point at the top of the harbor
And walked back past a paint-peeling church
With its weather-scarred steeple
Past a set of fishermenâs squat houses
Along that empty waterfront to a rise and open field
Occupied by a lone square Victorian two-story
Windows staring, also in decline
Before I came upon a white clapboarded Colonial
Off the road to my left
With a small partner cottage tucked under a twisted Hawthorne tree
all empty and for sale
with an 1824 pedigree sign affixed to one corner
and from whose main house platform deck across the back
facing the harbor looking west
I viewed the opposing hillside
Slashed across its base by that black harbor-front road
Rising in brown grass fields tinged with yellow
To a sharp evergreen forest across the ridge
Immensity of blue sky above
Just a few houses scattered across that field
White, pale yellow, chocolate brown
Spaced as if a painter had determined this composition
Perfect balance of space and object
Nature and what man hath made
Etched across that upland landscape
To become that landscape
And thought
"I could live in this painting"
So as someone who had just that instant
Fallen in love, and knew that he had
I determined to let go of my home in New York
And move my life to this island,
Where I realized my heart had been
all along.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?
If you have had the experience of falling in love (I trust you have), with a person or a place or an object, you know that the act of falling in love calls upon you then to decide: what to do? I found myself looking at a colonial style house redolent of where I had grown up in a 1790 house in Massachusetts, Standing on the one road that circled the harbor, weathered homes randomly spaced, woods all around, a silence marked only by ocean movements into the harbor and a breezy northwest wind, the house having a its own beach on the harbor, and expansive pier, and a panoramic view of the opposite hillside, which as the day wears on becomes an infinite number of paintings, differentiated by the changing light that crosses the terrain as drops behind those western hills.
Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?
The house and cottage are a kind of real estate antique for those who like the solid wood feel and staunch building style of those days. The island's original settler very likely chose this spot for its shelter from the Nor-easterly blasts that deliver the worst weather when it comes. This site enjoys a particular angle of sunlight through the day in all seasons, rising from behind the eastern hill and descending below the west, giving a range of color to the foliage as it goes.
