Long Island is a quiet 400-year-old fishing community - removed from the hustle of mainland life. A quick ferry ride (with regular service) will get you from Portland harbor to Raven House - which was completely redone in 2020 - Enjoy freshly ground coffee on the upper deck with views of the ocean, prepare your meals in our professionally appointed kitchen complete with oversize fridge and freezer (so you won't have to leave the island for more food). Pack up beach chairs towels & cooler to spend the day at one of our many beaches, including South Beach, which has been called Casco Bay's most pristine white sand beach - also perfect for a sunrise walk. Order lobsters fresh off the boat for your evening meal. If it's cool, you can sit by the fireplace downstairs or take advantage of the outdoor fireplace on the upper deck. The Master bedroom and en suite bathroom have a bathtub if you have little ones. A guest bath and an upstairs bath provide plenty of comfort and space for up to eight guests. If you don't feel like cooking - head to the Hardshell café for a full traditional lobster feast or the Bakehouse Café for the best-baked goods, coffee, freshly tapped beer, and homemade pizza. At Raven House, we try to leave a minimal environmental footprint and encourage you to do the same. All mattresses are cotton futons with soft toppers. The house is equipped with linens, beach supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, soap, and shampoo.
This is our family home- we welcome you to relax and enjoy all Long Island and Raven House has to offer. The house is 4 seasons and available for year-round rental. It's the perfect escape if it's tranquility you are seeking. No traffic, no hustle, plenty of stars, and lots of sea and sand.
