Relax on the large front porch with your morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine and watch the birds and seals, sometimes otters, deer, mink and moose! Absorb positive energy from the large tides that constantly change the view for you.

Old Farm House Lives up to its Name!

We had a nice visit in this beautiful farm house in a beautiful setting. The host communicated all the necessary details ahead of time. The house was clean and spacious with a well stocked kitchen. There were bikes available for the kids to use in the barn and a wonderful dirt road that served as a long, quiet trail for a walk/bike. We were able to see a seal from the picnic table that is down by the water's edge! WiFi in the house worked great and there are dozens of books and DVDs to choose from for entertainment. We enjoyed our time. This is an old farmhouse, so if you are sensitive to the smell of mold, you might have some trouble. Many of the windows can't be opened because of age (which the host communicated to us). We had a heavy rain storm during our visit and there was a leak around the chimney upstairs in one room, but it wasn't a bedroom. There was also one mouse spotting. These things aren't atypical for an old farmhouse, but worth knowing if you are sensitive.

The cosiest cottage in Maine!

My friends and I checked out of this place nearly in tears, we so desperately did not want to leave! I simply cannot rave enough about how cool this property is: a historic farmhouse right by the water with many of its original historical features, with eclectic decorations (including fisherman lamps and several old paintings of sailing ships) that just make you feel like you’re in a movie. You sort of get the feeling like the house is filled with friendly ghosts. My friends and I rented this as a place to host our book club meeting and it was absolutely dreamy. Additionally, the hosts were super accommodating and easing to communicate with. They had the kitchen fully stocked with coffee, tea, various cooking supplies and ingredients— it really felt like we were at home. All the beds were comfy and with a kitchen, dining room, lounge, and library, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to cosy places to hang out. Long story short: we are already making plans for when we can come back next year!

A quiet retreat

Elizabeth takes such pride in her property. We were greeted with a call from Elizabeth on the final miles to the quiet retreat from the world’s noise. Every last detail was covered. Approaching the property was a step back in time to a more simpler life. Everything is on the property. We especially enjoyed observing wild life in its natural environment. As we kayaked the bay we were surrounded by seals and birds of prey, happily showing off their catch. If you’re looking for a place that’s peaceful, clean, spacious and charming with easy access to nature, then this is it!!

Beautiful waterfront escape

FYI- Addison is all the way at the top of Maine close to Canada! We chose this property because of the beautiful old house and close waterfront. We forgot how big Maine is! The house is large and had more space than we needed but it was nice to spread out since we live in a dense and busy city. This property is wonderful for children, half of the books in the library are children's books and the kids took over the exercise room on the second floor as their living room while we were there. Our favorite part was the large rock ledge just across the (rarely used) road. The kids roasted hot dogs and marshmallows for s'mores over the fire. In the morning we watched seals fishing in the bay right in front of us! Elizabeth, the owner of the property called right before the stay to tell us where everything is, how to get in, and to answer any questions. She is great! We enjoyed our stay very much. Oh, and bring bug spray! Though, if you forget, Elizabeth has that ready for you too ;-)

Well Worth the Return Visit

This was our second time staying at the farmhouse. The house is kept in excellent condition, amenities are numerous, and the location is just perfect. We love that the kitchen is well stocked so we really didn't need to bring anything but food. The kayaks, canoe, bikes, and tubes were bonuses and put to good use. It is peaceful and a lovely place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Marshall

Why they chose this property

This is a very inviting house full of positive energy. It is beautifully balanced, peaceful and safe. Cross the street to stone steps that lead to a picnic area and watch the changing tides, Maine wildlife and reversing falls. By the time the water reaches the Captains House the sun warms it up making it nice for swimming and kayaking. Historians say the salt water pond next to the house was a great swimming area for local children. Area beaches are beautiful, picturesque and great for finding little treasures. You will usually have them all to yourself.
semi-private and only minutes away!

What makes this property unique

Go back in time, escape the rest of the world and relax! A great getaway. The ocean gives positive energy and strength. The tides are large and fun to watch. The "reversing falls" are right across the street. Swim in the warmer salt water pond next to the house.
