Located in Arrowsic, this charming house for $393 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Overlooking a dynamic tidal marsh on the rocky Maine coast, this beautiful two-bedroom guest house is the perfect place to stay and unwind. Tucked away in the woods and surrounded by nature, you get the tranquil island getaway vibe yet you are still close to ocean beaches, a lovely pond with rope swing, excellent fresh seafood, downtown Bath, and only 40 minutes to Portland. This really is an ideal location for exploring midcoast Maine and surrounding areas. Stay includes a pass to all the state parks which includes the local beaches. We have beach chairs, beach towels, an umbrella, sand toys, and boogie boards available for you to use as well. The Space: This craftsman-style home built in 2002 boasts soft pine floors throughout with lots of natural light. It has an open concept living space and kitchen. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the basics you’ll need including a full-size fridge, stove and oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, coffee grinder, blender, dishes, cooking utensils, etc. The screened-in back porch is perfect for dining outside, sipping your morning coffee or tea, and soaking up the sounds of the birds and nature, including bald eagles, ospreys, blue herons, ducks, deer, and more. There is a full bathroom with a stand-up shower, washer, and dryer on the first floor. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, both with a water view, as well as a half bathroom. Both bedrooms have a closet and dresser. Beds have brand new sheets, pillows, and down comforters. We also have comforters without down filling, if you prefer. Guest access: You will have the guest house and screened-in back porch all to yourself. There are walking trails close by. Close By: There is a nature preserve with trails just a few minutes walk up the road as well as a fresh water swimming spot (with rope swing!) also just a few minutes drive or 15 minute walk up the road. We are located 20 minutes from Reid State Park, 15 minutes to Five Islands Lobster Company, 30 minutes to Popham Beach, 40 minutes from Portland, and just 7 minutes to downtown Bath. There are many excellent seafood and non seafood restaurants close by. Other things to note We have satellite internet which generally works just fine. However, it can on occasion, run slower, especially when trying to use a video chat. Streaming videos and movies usually work well. The only time it has not worked is during severe weather. Broadband service is coming to the island in the very near future! The parking is about 40 feet down from the house on so you must be comfortable walking on uneven ground; there is not a paved walkway to the guest house. We have never had a problem with this but appreciate that this may be problematic for older people or those with disabilities. We do not have cable service, but we have internet TV to stream Netflix, Prime, and other services. Cell phone service can be spotty depending on the service provider. There is a landline in case of emergency. The owners live in the main house next door which is about 40 feet from the guest house. The house and neighborhood are usually very quiet. Our 11-year-old son who visits every other week sometimes plays in the yard with friends. We also have a small cat who loves frolicking in the yard. She is very friendly and loves attention. However, please do not let her in the guest house, as we keep the guest house pet free.
