Stayed just over 2 weeks at this lovely house in a beautiful location. The house reflects the care with which it was built. Delightful but also everything you might need while renting. Great views from interior and from the deck of Muscongus Bay and some of its many islands. Saw Bald Eagles and Osprey nearly every day from the deck. Great location for birding, hiking, kayaking and biking. Easy to explore beautiful Pemaquid Peninsula ... short drive to New Harbor for Monhegan Island ferries or Puffin cruises. Wonderful stay at a great rental.

A beautiful home in a picturesque area. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning as the boats headed out. Listened to the birds and enjoyed the flowering plants We had a lovely stay in this charming home. We were within a quick drive to Boothbay to take a puffin tour or catch the ferry to magical Monhegan Island. Near lobster shacks, wonderful hiking, Pemaquid beach. I recommend day trips to Acadia. The home owner answered all our questions and was lovely and accommodating.

This is a delightful house, well appointed and comfortable, with a nice water view. It is also walking distance to a very good lobster "pound" where you can sit on a deck over the water and eat lobster and clams. We were there to spend time with family friends in Bremen, so this house was perfect for us!

My wife and I were looking for a last minute place to get away, far away, after a hectic spring and early summer work schedule that left us in need of a complete change of scene and change of pace, with no time even to think about planning a vacation in advance. As a VRBO owner, myself, I went to that website first. I don’t know what I even typed in to the search bar, but Marc Poirier’s “Artist Retreat” was the first possibility to pop up on the screen. I read the description: “post and beam open concept home,” “dead-end street in a quiet fishing village,” “five minute walk to…a lobster pound that will cook and serve you up some lobster and clams right on their deck.” “Beam me up, Scotty,” my heart sang as I checked the calendar and discovered that it was available for the dates I needed. The “Artists Retreat” did not disappoint. It was, indeed, a great and gracious home base for us to regroup and refocus, and enjoy the central Maine coast, from Wiscasset to Bar Harbor, from its many art galleries, museums and antique shops, to its breathtaking coves and coastline. Though the house came with a full kitchen, we found ourselves on the road most evenings at dinner time feasting harbor side in one town after the other on some of the best seafood I have had in my life. But, most special for me, was sitting at the kitchen table at 7 a.m. every morning, savoring my first cup of coffee, looking out the window at the cove beyond shrouded in mist, watching as the sun slowly rose burning through the haze to reveal the lobster boats riding at anchor and the islands beyond. It couldn’t have been any better.

Our stay in Marc's post and beam was absolutely wonderful.The craftsmanship and detail in his home is much to be admired.The home in on a cul de sac and overlooks a small harbor filled with lobster boats. Close walk to enjoy lobster and seafood delights bringing along your favorite beverages. Close to Damorascotta for dining and strolling and Pemaquid Beach. Route 32 recently paved making for excellent biking. Truly enjoyed stay and will definitely return.

We had a truly wonderful time at the house. It's a gorgeous little place that actually worked well for us with our two small children (3 1/2 and 13 months). The kids loved the deck and it was easy to keep an eye on them with the fairly open floor plan. The owner was nice and purchased a pack-n-play for us before our stay so that we didn't have to check it on the plane. Whew!We also enjoyed walking to buy lobsters and bringing them home to cook them for dinner-- yum! The house was set up with everything one would need for a vacation-- lots of kitchen supplies, linens, etc. My husband loved the grill! Of course, the best part of all was the location-- Bremen fell in the middle, geographically, of a lot of the day trips we wanted to take-- Wiscasset, Rockland-Camden area, Boothbay. There was lots to do!
