Photos and Description of the Northport vacation house rental 4+ bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sleeps 12 or more

Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and environmentalists, this wonderful back-to-nature retreat features a recently built, three story vacation home perched on a bluff with spectacular views overlooking a pristine lake called Knight's Pond. The house is spacious, capable of accommodating 8 guests or more. The house is crafted with handsome pine interior floors and woodwork, and artfully decorated in the traditional Maine style. Forty four windows provide expansive views of the lake and mountains. The lake is surrounded by land owned and managed by the Nature Conservancy, and provides excellent swimming, camping and boating. This private island of natural beauty is surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of conservation woodlands, and is just 1 1/2 miles to the ocean and 1/3 to the nearest neighbor! There's a beautiful sandy beach on the lake, and incredible hiking trails all around the area!

Further details for this vacation house rental in Northport, Maine

Just move in an enjoy the beauty and solitude!!: Shopping is close by in Belfast and Camden. Guests are asked to clean the premises before departures, although optional cleaning services are available for a fee. There are several living room areas for guests to find privacy and quiet. Unfortunately, the telecom industry has not made a broadband internet connection available to the area yet, but we're hoping it will be soon! There are free WIFI networks available in Belfast and Camden. A canoe is available to guests, but we strongly suggest bringing your own kayak, either for lake, river or bay. For those who love ocean water, there are many different types of charter craft operating locally. In addition, ferries to Islesboro, Monhegan and Vinal Haven are within driving distance.

In the heart of one of Maine's premier locations: The location is unique for its spectacular setting in one of the few remaining wilderness settings in downeast Maine, yet only a short drive away to many of Maine's special coastal attractions and communities. There is always something to do, hiking, fresh and salt swimming, canoing, island hopping, exploring seafaring towns and villages, golfing at a world class golfc ourse overlooking the ocean, sea kayaking in Penobscot Bay, mountain climbing, sitting out on the harbor, deep sea fishing in the bay, antiquing, browsing the art colonies of Blue Hills and Castine, Rockport and Camden, enjoying some of the fine cuisine in the numerous world class restaurants scattered around the area. There are few locations anywhere that can compare. Come and see for yourself, or browse the web for the Camden/Rockport/Belfast area attractions to find out about this beautiful and fascinating area of Maine!

Beautiful house

Beth00 New Haven, CT
Review Submitted: May 30, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
I stayed in the main house and cabin with a large group of young friends. Everything was clean and cozy, with beautiful bedrooms, rocking chairs gathered 'round a wood stove, etc. It's possible to cook for 12 in the medium-sized kitchen, but requires some resourcefulness! Bluff is not as dramatic as I'd expected from the pictures, and water is at least a 5 minute walk from the driveway of the house, but view of the hills and lake are still breathtaking. Lots of trails to walk on and explore. Made much use of the canoe and fishing rods at nearby boat launch, and built a lovely bonfire. Beware that cell phone reception can be extremely spotty, depending on the carrier, but there is fine reception and free wireless in town. We didn't do much in the way of exploring attractions, though there are many charming towns within driving distance. Owner provided great communication and service. All in all, we had what we needed and I loved the place. My friends and I are looking to come back next year!

A week in the Maine woods

Rapp Kewadin, Mi
Review Submitted: August 5, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
My family and I spent a week in this nice house surrounded by woods. It was quiet and comfortable. While there is not a view of the bay, there is a nice lake just a short walk away. You can swim or take the wonderful canoe that is provided. We were able to hike right from the house to summits that provided beautiful views. A short drive away brings you to Belfast, a nice town with good seafood and shopping or a bit longer drive takes you to other, larger towns or different hiking trails. The house itself has a nicely equipped kitchen. It has a TV although we couldn't get any reception so we used it for the WII we brought. The house doesn't come equipped with wireless but we did use the phone jack for dial up internet. The guest house was perfect for my brother-in-law who needs peace and quiet for his painting. We enjoyed the house and the time we had together in it.

northport, me 2008

yankee_roadkill CT, USA
Review Submitted: July 23, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Property is 'back in the woods', but relatively close to Camden and the coast. It is 2 properties on a hillside: a 3 story house and a cottage. House is spacious and well equipped for a large party. Cottage is really cute and suitable for a single/couple.

Beach access is down dirt road approx 6 tenths of a mile. Beach is also public so all beach items and canoe must be transported back/forth.

-House/cottage well equipped
-Porch of house gets a lot of sun (awning/umbrella would be great
-Beds are only doubles (1 queen)
-Wireless (advertized) not available
