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

Paradise Found:

Review Submitted: August 2, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
The photos of this house really do not do it justice.When my family and i , pulled onto the driveway, we was totally blown away by its beauty.The house is a perfect size,for a family of 4 to 6.very clean ,and well equipped.The views from the home, are breath taking, and at low tides you will see seals out on the islands.We had good times kayaking, around the islands, watching the lobster Boats the the morning pull their traps.or taking the Row boat out fishing.you feel a million miles from anyone,yet everything you need and want to see, if very close at hand.Checkout Moodys for Breakfast lunch or dinner close by on route 1.And just up in Warren small place at the side of the road called Maine-ly poultry.Fantastic homemade chicken pie's.Of course all the Lobster you can eat, is from any of the nearby fishing Towns, right out the Boats.I could keep going,from the house, to everything else, it was a trip to remember for sure.Enjoy your stay.

Owner's Response: We are so glad you had such a wonderful time with your family at the Guesthouse, Peter. You even found a place that I was not aware of! I will have to try out Maine-ly Poultry's chicken pies.
There is so much to do in Midcoast Maine and it looks as though you made some wonderful memories. We would love to have you back anytime, and thanks for taking the time to write a review. Enjoy the rest of summer!

A great house in a lovely location...

Review Submitted: August 5, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
We have just a had a very enjoyable and all too short week staying at the Guesthouse.

Although we knew there were plenty of other things to do and see in the vicinity, we did not stray far from the house and the water. It was good fun kayaking and rowing in the cove, and swimming off the impressive dock.

Certainly suited our family perfectly - which includes two teenage sons. It is private and quiet, but not isolated. There is a tremendous diner - Moody's - right on the junction of Route 1 and other useful facilities in nearby Waldoboro The house is impeccably presented and furnished, and the views from the deck are superb. Everything was as described and lived up to expectations. Loads of books to read, plenty of films and a perfect place to relax.

The owners were extremely friendly. Correspondence before the trip was both helpful and welcoming and this approach was maintained during and after our trip.

Would certainly recommend this house to others - without hesitation.

Return vacation at the guesthouse

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.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Sightseeing, Romantic Getaway
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

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!
