Maine Cottage in a field of wildflowers in Camden

A new Maine cottage with old fashioned Andrew Wyeth charm--a quiet retreat located in a field of wildflowers at the end of a private road. Extremely pet-friendly, but not appropriate for children because the staircase is steep. Queen bed in upstairs bedroom. Twin bed in upstairs lounge. Can comfortably sleep additional person on sofa-bed on main floor. One spacious bathroom with heated tile floors, old fashioned tub, and shower.

To reach the cottage, you drive through the woods and the house sits at the top of a field of of cone flowers, bee balm, black-eyed susans, and sweet william. Beyond the stone wall that borders the field sits several hundred acres of woods. During the summer, none of the neighbor's houses can be seen. But if you want to see them, they are the friendliest neighbors imaginable.

Washer and dryer. In-floor heat. Full Kitchen. Gas parlor stove. Books, board games. Satellite TV. Canoe, paddles, life jackets available for guests. Kayak rentals, bicycle rentals, guided trips, two-hour sails are all close by. Solid recommendations for where to go and what to see, on and off the beaten track, from a local who knows the area inside-out.

Hiking out the back door, fresh vegetables from a nearby farm, and wine tasting at a vineyard up the road. Minutes to sailing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and more hiking to dramatic mountain-top views. Dine at Francine's Bistro in the village of Camden after an afternoon sail across Penobscot Bay or at nearby Primo's in Rockland after touring local museums and galleries, lighthouses and cobblestone beaches. There is no shortage of fine dining on the Maine coast. Back at the cottage at night, loons call from a nearby pond, owls hoot from several hundred acres of woods out the back door. Take in the star-filled night sky--there are no nearby lights to block the view or cars to muffle the sound of nature. Wild turkeys and deer regard the field as their own and moose and bald eagles make periodic visits. This is the real Maine vacation--all the amenities and stunning beauty the Penobscot Bay area is known for are just ten minutes away, but serenity and privacy and simple beauty that the cottage offers will make your week-long vacation truly relaxing. By the end of the week, you'll want to stay forever.
