Photos and Description of the Friendship vacation house rental Three bedrooms, Two baths (jacuzzi), Maximum Guests 4

Immaculate, year-round 3 bedroom, 2 bath oceanfront home on 4 1/2 acres with private pier overlooking Muscongus Bay & islands. Antiques, Orientals, cathedral ceilings, gleaming wide pine floors & skylights, along with top of the line mattresses & appliances including single jacuzzi tub provide a very comfortable setting for an unforgettable vacation. Wake to the nostalgic scent of fresh salt air & the plaintiff call of seagulls. Watch the occasional local fisherman check his pots for lobster from the elevated sun deck, spot the family of seals on Haystack Island or see the resident Ospreys nesting with the guest house binoculars. Use the two sit on top kayaks, tandem kayak, or the rowboat provided to explore the endless coves and islands, or take advantage of our large take one/leave one library to read on the deck which is complete with patio furniture, gas grille and magnificent views. Later enjoy a cocktail on your private pier as the ducks and seals swim & the tides change below.

Mid-coast Maine is full of exciting things to do! We are in a wonderfully interesting bay with multiple islands & miles & miles of rugged coastline. Take the rowboat over to Haystack Is. and let the kids hunt for real arrowheads (I've found two!) or explore the immediate coast in the kayaks and stop for lunch on Eagle Is. where you will be carefully watched by a nesting pair. Aside from the obvious boating, swimming, bird watching & fishing that you can do right out in front of the guest house, there are puffin & seal watches, deep sea fishing & sailing charters all available close by. Take a day trip (or longer) to the artist colony of Monhegan Island where the Wyeth family has painted for generations or see the famed Olsen house in neighboring Cushing. Don't forget the fabulous and famous lobster and steamer dinners available in wonderful restaurants all throughout the area. Note: Placement of the Gueshouse is on the direct coast in front of the island, not as shown on map.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Friendship, Maine

And that's just the beginning... you haven't even left the property! The downstairs living room has beautiful & comfortable seating, a large picture window & the TV/VCR/DVD. Off this is the double bedroom with private bath. Upstairs the great room has a mix of antique & new furnishings where you can enjoy the stereo & the panoramic view of boats, islands and spruce trees thru huge French doors that lead out to the 2nd floor deck. The kitchen is large, bright & well equipped. The master bedroom has a stately queen antique four-poster bed & the main bath has the jacuzzi tub, separate shower & skylights. Upstairs the protected loft holds two comfortable twin beds. It is a truly beautiful & restorative vacation home. Although there are beds for more people, we are limiting the number of Guests to a very strict 4 people. This way you can choose which of the bedrooms would best suit you, and will assure you of many years of a wonderful vacation in a well appointed and carefully kept home

The nearby Farnsworth Museum is famous for its collection by American artists, & the Transportation Museum has the first Ford Mustang ever built! We are only 30 minutes from Camden and Rockland to the North and 30 minutes south will bring you to Damariscotta, Pemaquid and the Boothbay region. Fine dining, world class golf, museums, festivals, concerts, the opera house, schooner trips, hiking, biking, & fabulous antiquing are all only a decision away. Waldoboro itself has an active summer playhouse/theatre and the local pier in Friendship is only minutes away where you can buy succulent lobster fresh off the boat. Or on vacation, why not treat yourself to an organized clambake on the beach where all the work & cleanup is done for you!

LOVELY, QUIET, VERY WELL EQUIPPED

Herdman Richmond, VA
Review Submitted: October 6, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We loved our stay in this guest house. It is "off the beaten path" which was great for us, quiet with beautiful views. Recommend for couples and seniors particularly!

Return vacation at the guesthouse

Fox Creek Gallupville New York upstate NY USA
Review Submitted: September 27, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We just returned from our second vacation at this beautiful spot. The house and setting are beautiful, peaceful and comfortable. Everything is well maintained and as presented in the description. This is a perfect Maine location for enjoying the real Maine. It is not commercial, but there are many places to visit and great places to eat. We would highly recommend a vacation at the guesthouse. The owners provide the very best and are very helpful. We can't wait to return in 2010.
Owner's Response: Such a delightful couple! B. and L. are always a pleasure, and have been vacationing in Maine for many years. They just discovered the Guesthouse last year, and have already reserved their spot for next year.

Absolutely Beautiful

BeccaT Cambridge, MA
Review Submitted: March 10, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
My husband and I stayed here for a week last summer and absolutely adored our time! This property really has everything to offer: relaxation, adventure, authentic cultural experiences, great dining opportunities, and beauty.

As a interior decorator, I must say that I was blown away with how beautifully done the house is. There is the perfect balance of color and class. There was always wonderful light coming in the windows, and the view is spectacular. Richard and I wish we could live there year round!

Have a great time!

This is the real Maine....

Fox Creek Gallupville New York upstate NY USA
Review Submitted: September 16, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We have spent fall vacations in this area of mid-coast Maine for several years. This guesthouse is the best! The guesthouse is beautiful, comfortable and clean. The area is very private and quiet and the views are breathtaking. The wonderful second floor deck and seating on the pier offers spectacular views in all directions.
Although you are truly away from it all - between Friendship a quiet fishing village and Waldoboro, an interesting historical town, you can drive in either direction for restaurants, museums, the beautiful Coastal Maine Botanical Garden.
We found that we did not want to travel far from this absolutely beautiful spot.

Wonderful

NYNan Rochester, NY
Review Submitted: August 5, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Other than a few minor issues with the electricity (we managed to trip the breaker twice), we had an absolutely wonderful stay.

We did find out, quickly, that the neighbors do not like "trespassing" on private property - we walked the shoreline at low tide and apparently that is a no-no! No worries, though, we kayaked around the cove and saw all that we wanted to - even ran into the seals!!

The place is peaceful, clean and beautifully maintained. Anything we were missing was available at the nearby grocery. We were also less than an hour from Rockland and Booth Bay, so we did do a few day trips to see Maine.

We would definitely return!
