Back at the house, unwind on the wrap-around porch, softly lit in the evenings and furnished seasonally with comfortable chairs—the perfect place to sip coffee as the town wakes or a glass of wine while watching deer wander along the bluff.

☀️ Summer by the Bay: Spend your days by the water, then explore local boutiques and restaurants just a short walk away.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was perfect and even better in person. Very clean and comfortable. The location is very close to town and we walked to the restaurants and stores daily. Jason was extremely kind and allowed for a late checkout. I also loved that he welcomes dogs. I will definitely book here again if I can find an opening!

Fantastic house for our winter weekend!

We (3 kids & dog) stayed here over our mid-winter break. The house was perfect - cozy and comfortable. The location is perfect - we loved how easy it was to walk into town, and a short drive to skiing and Pond Hill Farm. We hope to stay here again!
