About this house rental

Located in South Thomaston, this attractive house for $550 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. On the shores of a tidal inlet flowing to the Penobscot Bay, Popplewood, built in 2015, sits on two and a half acres of rustic Midcoast Maine just ten minutes from Rockland, with views from all rooms framed by soaring pines overlooking 400 feet of waterfront. The sunny, open lot is bordered on the remaining three sides by woods, for ideal serenity and privacy. View more photos on Instagram: @popplewoodmaine Launch our kayaks or your boat from our dock to explore the nearby waterways, coves, and islands teeming with wildlife, or sit on the wrap-around deck with access from the kitchen and master bedroom to watch butterflies, blue heron, falcons, and maybe even a bald eagle go by. On the open-plan, high-ceilinged first floor, you’ll find a fully equipped chef’s kitchen featuring granite counter tops, a six-burner stove, and a large island next to a dining table with river views through oversized French doors. (Or eat outside at the cafe table on the deck or the oversized picnic table on the lawn.) Beyond the comfortable living room is the master suite, with a walk-in closet and large bathroom including an open shower and separate oversized contemporary cast-iron tub perfect for soaking after a day of boating or hiking. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms – one with a queen bed, one with two twins, and a third with a single twin bed — and a second full bath with a shower and tub. There’s reliable high-speed wifi and an internet-based landline. All appliances are new, including the washer and dryer in the tiled basement laundry room. The house has excellent cross-ventilation and ceiling fans in virtually every room. Popplewood is a ten-minute drive from Rockland, home to award-winning restaurants, brew pubs, and lobster pounds, more than thirty-five art galleries, the Farnsworth Museum, the Center for Maine Contemporary Art, a multiplex cinema, and the Strand, a non-profit theater hosting films and live performances. From Rockland, catch the ferry to Vinalhaven or take a short drive up the coast to the picturesque villages of Rockport and Camden. A few minutes south of Popplewood you'll find Tenants Harbor and the ferry to Monhegan Island at Port Clyde village. The Owl's Head, Marshall Point, and Rockland Breakwater lighthouses and their sweeping ocean views are all within a short drive. Nearby swimming beaches include Birch Point State Park, four miles (ten minutes) by car, and Crescent Beach (nine miles, twelve minutes) as well as many freshwater lakes. There are numerous public boat launches within minutes, as well.

House was comfortably designed and the landscaping reminded us of a nature preserve. Looking at the tide coming snd going was quite restful. Location was accessible to Rockland and Thomaston .

Our family of 5 found this home to be the most beautiful and most comfortable of all the VRBO homes we have stayed in. Super clean and uncluttered - the high ceilings, large windows, and thoughtfully designed home - made our week there feel special and spectacular. The natural setting of the water and woods was wonderfully quiet. We loved sitting on their the dock at high tide and the use of their high quality kayaks was an added bonus. We had absolutely no issues with the house during our time there but Leo was welcoming and communicative. The documentation he sent us about the house and area was informative and helpful. Our family loved our time at Popplewood and hope to return!

This is a handsomely designed home , well equipped and extremely comfortable. The setting is a lovely cove bursting with wildlife and only minutes from downtown Rockland. Enjoyed every minute!

This is one of my favorite VRBOs we’ve ever stayed at. It’s a beautiful home and setting. The kayaks, hammock and fire pit were a treat. The gardens of wildflowers were blooming. The location is great - close to Rockland, Camden, Rockport. We loved Birch Point State Park, the Owl’s Head Lighthouse and Drift Inn beach (awesome at low tide). The home is comfortable and beautifully decorated. But my favorite part of the stay was the amazing collection of books for children and adults! What’s better than reading EB White while in Maine in a gorgeous book loft?! Hope to be back! Thank you for a marvelous stay.

I can't say enough good things about this property. The pictures truly don't do it justice, it was absolutely beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing. Close enough to Rockland to not feel disconnected, but far enough away to be perfectly quiet. My family of 4-6 stayed three weeks and this absolutely felt like home. At the end we were not ready to leave...and can't wait to come back.

This is a well equipped, beautifully decorated open floor plan home in a private location. We enjoyed the tidal riverfront and fire pit. There are nearby scenic vistas and restaurants and museums in Rockland, only 15 minutes away. I highly recommend this property.

Could not have asked for a better place to stay in Mid Coast Maine. House was so clean and stocked - more than enough space to accommodate 6 guests - including small children. Leo was very communicative and a lovely host.

We had a sense when booking that the house would be nice but were really moved by how spacious, stylish, and solid it felt when we arrived. We enjoyed the area and the property as well and would love to return. Extra thanks to the hosts for accommodating an unexpected scheduling issue that arose for us very close to our arrival date.

The house is beautiful and so peaceful. The kitchen is incredibly well-appointed, even for even the most adventurous chef. The owners were WONDERFUL. Our family generally tries never to go to the same place twice on vacation. We might have to break that rule in this case. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Beautiful property!

Beautiful property!

My husband and I met up with my family this past week and we really just didn't want to leave this beautiful house and property. The house is much more spacious than you'd think from the pictures and close to small town harbors (Rockland, Rockport, Camden, Belfast) so we could explore during the day and head back home for a quick kayak and dinner at the house. We loved the large rooms (high ceilings), the huge kitchen, the beautiful art and the large windows looking out on the secluded property and water's edge - gorgeous! Leo & Elise are wonderful - sending us a last minute NY post they had read on a few other places to see close by. They also provided great suggestions for restaurants, shopping, things to do, etc, that helped us plan our days. A memorable and relaxing trip and I definitely hope to come back. Highly recommend!

There are not enough words to describe the beauty of this home and the area around it. The location is private and perfectly situated just a few minutes drive from everything you could need. The kitchen is gloriously outfitted for even the most serious of cooks! After a quick trip to the grocery store, we were set for our stay. We enjoyed the kayaks, the hammock, the girl, the deck...it was an amazing place to be. The house is spotless. The beds are very comfortable. Linens and towels are top quality. All the appliances are high end and new. No detail is missed, The homeowner is super responsive and friendly. This is more than just a vacation rental. This is a home anyone could live in forever,
