Together with the two bedroom/one bath carriage housje on the property (an extra charge of $1000/week if you'd like to add it), this retreat is now available to rent for larger gatherings. We can accommodate 10 in the main house with the carriage house accommodating 4 more. Perched on a hill a few minutes walk from the historic costal village of Bayside, the main house offers 300 feet of private shore frontage. From nearly every room of the house views of the majestic Penobscot Bay stretch out before you. The main house, an arts and crafts turn of the century home, has been left untouched, only restored and updated by the same family. On the second floor it features 5 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large family media room (with a queen sized sofa bed) and a open landing that doubles as a play area under vaulted beamed ceilings. The master bedroom features a fireplace and a generous bathroom - with a shower and separate tub overlooking the sea. Each bedroom also comes with high quality linens and 2 renovated shared bathrooms. The media room comes equipped with apple tv, Direct TV, Netflix, and VHS/DVD with an array of movies to keep everyone entertained. On the ground floor there is an open plan kitchen with a large double oven/stove, communal table, dishwasher and an incredible modified ice box that is original to the house and functions now as a very large fridge . There are plates and cutlery along with every form of cooking utensil. Adjoining the kitchen is a separate bar/wash area with microwave. The adjacent dinning room is astounding with a large arts and crafts table overlooking the porch and sea with a working fireplace. The living room comes off this, with comfortable leather club chairs and sofas around another large fireplace. There is also a home office with printer and desk. There is high speed internet throughout the house. Each of all these rooms leads to a wrap around covered porch that beautifully frames the ocean view complete with white wicker furniture along with a teak picnic table perfect for outdoor dinning. In the basement there is a laundry room with washer and dryer. There is also an abundant supply of fireplace logs in the basement, as well as a second, modern fridge. Surrounding the house are lush gardens and lawns complete with a fire pit. The front lawn comes with a full turning circle and multiple parking spaces. The front gate is made by a local artist in the Adirondack camp style. We've left a ping pong table on the porch for your enjoyment. To the left of the house is a separate guest carriage house with a self contained apartment above it. There are 2 double bedrooms, living room, a self contained kitchen and bathroom complete with a shower/bathtub. This is perfect for a small family or friends wishing to join in on a holiday but also allowing them to have their own privacy. There is an additional fee of $800 per week of the use of the 2-bedroom Carriage House. There is a private walkway and stairs down to the beach from the bottom of the garden where you can enjoy the lovely Penobscot Bay. Sit on the large deck and spot porpoise and seals, beach comb, kayak, or swim, as the bay is normally wonderfully calm. \* Dishwasher \* DVD \* Fireplace \* Gas Grill \* High Speed Internet \* Ironing Board and Iron \* Microwave \* Sat.

Some of the bedding was of a height that made getting into it precarious, and some were squeaky. Getting enough hot water for the number of guests was iffy, and the refrigerators for the kitchen were stylish but clumsy. That said, the owners were easy to reach, communicative, and very responsive, the house overall was a standout from its era, clean, and well-equipped if quirky. ##### jeffrey w.

We also rented the carriage house.The property has lots of potential. The view, the porch, the size and space, the waterfront, the location, and the town of Northport were amazing. The plumbing is very outdated. The shower was either boiling hot or freezing cold. For the amount of money we paid, we expect to be able to take a comfortable shower. The kitchen stove was a bit frightening. We would stay here again only if the owner could insure us that these things were fixed. ##### Gordon H.

Last year it was Vancouver Island, and this year we chose the Maine coast. Three generations enjoy time relaxing and outdoors, and this year the Maine house was perfect for us. Beautiful porch overlooking the Bay; nice beach for the kids to play in and for all of us to kayak. Plus, an extremely well-equipped kitchen for my daughter who loves to cook for a crowd. I could have spent all summer exploring the very cool house, comfortably furnished and with unique local furniture. A treasure! ##### Lynn H.

Great location - away from the crowds on the water. Spectacular porch with view of boats and the bay. Rooms were large and comfortable. We and our adult children were able to explore the area and look forward to coming back to our lovely old house. We spent a night before Hurricane Lee with wind howling, but the house was stable and quiet. Suzanne the host was ver accommodating and concerned fir our welfare and made sure we were happy and safe.

The house was ideally located on a pristine bay with clear and calm water. It has the best porch I have ever seen in any house, anywhere in the world- absolutely spectacular views of the bay. The best place to drink your morning coffee, eat all of your meals, play ping pong and have your evening drinks! The house was well-furnished and had everything we needed. We also rented the carriage house for the week for the extra space because there were so many of us. The small adjacent village of Bayside is a delight and nearby Belfast has everything you need without being overrun by tourist kitsch. ##### Miriah P.

The location and views from this home are unbeatable. Suzanne was a dream to work with--was very quick and friendly to communicate with. We rented the big house and the carriage house. The big house has the dreamiest porch where we spent much of our time and all of our meals. The fridge in the kitchen is old but huge and held so much food, it was the best. The house is older and has its quirks. There was an older musty smell but it passed once we opened windows and got air moving through. We had the best time here! ##### Kara V.

Aug 1, 2015 #### Charming 100+ year old home, breath-taking waterfront view, spectacular sunrises! My son-in-law grew up spending his summers in Bayside, and he selected this beautiful property for our 2 week stay. Five bedrooms in the main house plus two in the carriage house gave us plenty of room to spread out and enjoy ourselves, but the huge porch (even bigger than it looks in the photos) was the place we all tended to congregate and enjoy the spectacular view of the Penobscot Bay, from before sunrise until late at night. Three of the bedrooms plus the TV room all have water views -- and we never closed the windows or the shades in our bedroom so we could enjoy it every waking moment, including some postcard worthy sunrises. Having both the century-old icebox-converted-to-a-refrigerator plus the modern refrigerator/freezer made keeping food and drinks for our large group a breeze, and the well-equipped kitchen is perfect for cooking for a crowd. This Bayside cottage is just the place for those who want to stay in the village and venture no farther out than the Corner Store for the not-to-be-missed Maine blueberry ice cream and milkshakes, but it's also perfectly located for day trips to Acadia National Park, the quaint town of Belfast and the stately, historic city of Camden, or a climb of Bald Rock or Mt. Battie in Camden Hills State Park. We would love to return for another stay! ##### Debbie M. ### 8/10 Good #### Suzanne K. Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gathering family and friends Excellent location, near Belfast but in quiet Bayside. Fantastic, spacious old summer home with authentic antique vibe. The porch had a gorgeous view and was an amazing place to hang out. Stairs down to the pebble beach were steep and long, but worth the effort. There were minor issues with plumbing, but that’s to be expected with a vintage house, and hosts were quick to respond and correct. Our group of 8 had an enjoyable time making memories at this place! ##### Suzanne K. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John B. Oct 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Maine Home Suzanne was a wonderful host, and the property was very unique, historical and beautiful. The porch overlooking the ocean was the place to be when not in front of one of the many fireplaces. Surprisingly close to restaurants, bars and things to do. ##### John B.
