About the host

We represent private property owners to manage their rental properties for short-term rentals on Maine’s beautiful Blue Hill Peninsula. Enjoy peace of mind when you rent with our locally-owned company. Know that what you see online is what you will enjoy in person and that we'll be there when you need us.
All of our properties are available during the summer months with some also available for winter rentals.

Why they chose this property

As described by the Blue Hill Chamber of Commerce: The Blue Hill Peninsula encompasses the towns of Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Castine, Penobscot, Sedgwick, and Surry and serves as the gateway to Little Deer Isle, Deer Isle, and Stonington. Blue Hill is the largest town and is the region’s service center. The landscape here is marked by sweeping views of the blueberry barrens and the sea. Tucked in among the ridges, valleys, and jagged coastline, you’ll find adventure of all kinds, from a day on the water and an evening of live music to a solitary morning walk and an afternoon of gallery tours and shopping.

You’ll find our communities to be diverse, independent yet interconnected. In all of these places, you may strike up a conversation with a lobsterman, boatbuilder, or sailor who knows these waters like the back of their hand. In all of these places, you will find locally sourced food and highly skilled craftspeople and artists. In all of these places, you will find evidence of the resourcefulness, dry wit, and creativity that has defined our region’s culture for centuries.

This region was settled in the mid-1700s, and its early economy centered around shipbuilding and quarrying. Lumbering, lobstering, fishing, and farming have played an important role in our economy and culture since the earliest days. By the late 1800’s the region had become a summer destination. Today, many of these industries coexist with a thriving art, music, and food scene to create this unique place called The Blue Hill Peninsula.

What makes this property unique

One of our favorite cottages, Periwinkle was originally part of the Haven Colony, a group of artists, many of modest means, that wanted to escape the city for peace and tranquility on Maine’s rocky coast. The owners have thoughtfully and charmingly furnished it to be inviting for guests to stay in while visiting the area. Sitting on the shores of Herrick Bay, there are stairs leading down to the wonderful private beach just waiting for guests to enjoy and explore, and an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand and grass upon return.
