About this house rental
This house was custom built in 2011 and looks brand new. It features a large, open living and dining area, with a wrap-around deck facing the river; a private guest suite on the first floor with two bedrooms and its own bath; an immense second-floor master suite with a walk-in closet, a double bath, plenty of light and its own private deck; and a brand-new TV / game room on the ground floor.
Situated in the heart of Maine's Blue Hill Peninsula, Camp Stream sits on a six-acre lot in a rural setting right on the Bagaduce River, which you can see from almost every room in the house. You will have all the quiet and privacy you could want. There is a quick path from the house to the river where you can launch your kayak, canoe or floating tube.
The kitchen features brand new appliances and comes fully equipped with everything you'll need, as well as a large walk-in pantry. We provide towels and linens, and a washer and dryer are available for your use. There is free WiFi and satellite TV. We have a wonderful caretaker who will make sure the house is spotless and ready for your arrival in every way.
If you have stayed at Camp Stream before, you'll notice a few changes. We are new owners, and have fully re-decorating and re-furnishing the house, taking it up a notch without losing any of its charm or coziness. You'll also notice that we've fully finished the great room in the basement--complete with its own views of the Bagaduce--and turned it into a modern TV / game / family room.
The house sits on a bright, sunny clearing right on the river, with plenty of room for outdoor fun and BBQs (there is a gas grill). Beyond the clearing are thick green woods on one side a the gentle Bagaduce on the other. NEW FOR 2017: We have thinned out the trees along the river, to afford a much better view from the deck, and we've built up the pathway to the water for kayaking, etc. We find the location peaceful and beautiful, and the views are ever-changing.

The house and prope

This was my family’s fifth visit to Camp Stream and it was the same great experience as our previous stays. We love coming here! The house and location are beautiful and a great escape from everyday life. Hope to return next summer!

Gorgeous, quiet location right on the Bagaduce River. The lovely town of Blue Hill is a stone's throw away. We rented kayaks from the Activity Shop and went out every morning, then followed that with a hike on one of the Blue Hill Heritage Trust hikes nearby. The house is extremely well-appointed with everything you could possibly need for a pleasant stay. Our family has been renting this property for a week in the summer for a few years now.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Sedgwick. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The views of the river and surrounding woods were absolutely beautiful. Would definitely recommend staying at this home.

This is a well appointed and comfortable house in our favorite part of Maine, with a very accommodating host. With Lee (then a hurricane) barreling toward the Downeast region on our scheduled departure day, Douglas graciously allowed us to extend our stay.
The house is spacious with everything a guest might need, and more. I'd swap my kitchen layout for Douglas' in a heartbeat. There are wonderful views of the Bagaduce throughout the house. The property is large and private while just a 10-minute drive to Blue Hill.
Despite the unusually damp weather for September, we got in many of our favorite hikes (Blue Hill Mountain, Barred Island, Great Pond Mountain, and Crockett's Cove) plus a few new trails (Harriman Point Preserve is a winner). We were also pleased to find that the Barncastle restaurant is under new management with a wonderful menu. We enjoyed dinner there one night.
If you have to work, the internet is strong and reliable. Or if you have a rain day, there are plenty of cushy chairs and sofas for reading and admiring the scenery,
We look forward to staying again in 2024.

Comfortable, clean, and the best-stocked kitchen I have ever seen in a rental. Beautiful views of the Bagaduce River. The host was immediately responsive when we had a minor problem. We enjoyed the deck, the grill, the hammock, and the outdoor dining area. Near to good grocery and fish stores. Ceiling and two tall fans helped in hot weather (no AC). The home is a little isolated; we enjoy being able to walk into a town.

Loved it! It’s a 60 minute drive to Acadia Nat’l Park, and only about 30 minutes for all the other places we visited. Great hiking in Blue Hill, Holbrook Sanctuary and of course at Acadia. We had fun watching/visiting/purchasing pottery from Mark Bell at his Pottery studio.
We enjoyed mornings and evening relaxing in the home and out on the deck! Watched deer each day, kayaked in the river, played new board games, cooked fresh lobster purchased from Greenhead Lobster, fresh off the boat in Stonington! The kitchen had it all!
The owners have gone above and beyond. We’d highly recommend this property!

Wonderful newer Home well stocked with all the living items necessary for a great stay. Kayaks and spacious deck were a hit . Water access and the view to water needs a bit of work (still was manageable). Close enough to Acadia and places to eat. Loved. Blue Hill and downtown Ellsworth. Thanks Doug, Jim and Team. You are fantastic hosts.

All I can say is WOW! Such a wonderfully maintained home in a beautiful relaxing setting. It was the perfect home base for my family to relax and explore Maine. Owner very responsive when we had questions. Loved the home and the area - can't wait to come back in the future! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful property!

Modern well appointed home located next to the quiet Bagaduce river. Outstanding kitchen, stupendous master suite on the top floor, well set up entertainment room in the finished basement, lovely covered outdoor eating area just off of the kitchen. Our only dismay was the the need for a shade on the sliding door in the master bedroom (privacy is not an issue but the morning light would wake me). We would come back in a heartbeat.

This is our third time staying at this property, we love it so much. Owner is communicative, the house and grounds are lovely and clean with a well stocked kitchen and pantry! This location is perfect for quick trips to MDI, Ellsworth, Castine, Stonington, Blue Hill, and Brooklin!

This is our third time staying at Camp Stream. The house is beautiful, impeccably clean, and so well stocked with everything you need to make it feel like home. The Blue Hill peninsula is so lovely and peaceful. Perfect for getting away. There’s nothing like an early AM paddle on the Bagaduce to start the day right! Thank you Douglas!

We walked in and immediately felt at home - beautiful decor, beyond clean, and the kitchen! I can surely see why so many of the reviews are repeat visitors. I have a new solo Adirondack Guideboat - the Bagaduce was so perfect for rowing. Then there were all the hikes, exploring Deer Isle, trips to Acadia. All that and we were blessed with a week of great weather. Appreciated the prompt and helpful communication with Douglas. Still remembering little things like the neighbor that had her garden produce out every day on the honor system! Oh, and we did water everything and even weeded the flower beds. It was a pleasure! Thank you Douglas.

Great clean home in a rural location, yet close to many great little historic towns! The house is very roomy and is as pictured. There is so much light in the house and we loved the porches! My husband and I enjoyed our stay here and even took the double kayak out to Bagaduce Lunch. A fun little outing and be sure to land your kayak at the little park before the bridge rather than going under the bridge to the Bagaduce Lunch dock, because the waters under the bridge can be rough depending on the tide. We did lots of hiking in the area and even drove up to the quaint little town of Lubec on the Canadian border and did some awesome hikes around the Quoddy Head Lighthouse and had a great lunch at Fisherman's Wharf where we ate some of the best crabcakes we've ever had! Also, LDI Lobster, not too far from the house, has some fantastic crab rolls! No complaints here!

This was our third visit to Camp Stream and we LOVE staying here! The location and home are beautiful! The kitchen is fully stocked with the utensils needed to prepare dinner which we loved! House was clean and Doug has always been a thoughtful and responsive host! Hoping to return again next summer!

This house exceeded my expectations for my first trip to Maine! Stunning decor, lots of space, very clean, stocked with anything you would need, and great location! We thoroughly enjoyed the seclusion of this home but still being close to Bar Harbor, Belfast, and other great places in Downeast Maine. Having a supermarket and Walgreens within a close drive was also helpful. We really enjoyed the popovers and donuts at Sandy's Blue Hill Cafe and lobster at Perry's Lobster Shack. We are looking forward to coming back very soon! Thank you Douglas!!!

This was the second time we've stayed at Douglas' house. We love that the location has easy access to Blue Hill, Castine, and Stonington. The house is clean and has all the kitchen equipment you will ever need, and more. The lower level/basement has a very comfortable seating area for movie nights. The bedrooms are comfortable and the master is very large. The sun comes up early so bring eye shades! Douglas clearly takes good care of this home, and went the extra step for us when VRBO tried to over charge us. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay here last year and this year's stay was even better! We paddled on the river almost every morning, hiked the Blue Hill trails, checked out several of the local sites and restaurants, and made a lot of meals in the cook's kitchen. In addition, it is an easy commute to Bar Harbor (about 45 minutes away). The house is contemporary, very well-appointed and has beautiful views of the river, that the photos do not do justice. The serenity of the property and the Blue Hill Peninsula are in direct contrast to the craziness of MDI during peak season. We loved our July stay this year!

Great Blue Hill vacation
We are a family of 5 (3 kids between ages 4-10) and had a lovely stay at Camp Stream during our July 2022 trip to the Blue Hill area in Maine. This house is fully stocked with everything you might need. The pantry and kitchen are probably the among the best we've experienced in our many years of renting vacation homes. We rented kayaks from the Activity Shop down the road and they delivered it right to the house. We really enjoyed being right on the water and we all kayaked daily. The house is very comfortable, clean, and the location can't be beat! We would absolutely stay here again.

Great Experience
This is our second time staying at this house and it was just as we remembered it! It is well stocked, comfortable, and the wildlife was amazing!
5.0 / 5.0
One of my favorite houses!
Let me start off by saying how CLEAN and well stocked this property was. I am very picky about the little things when it comes to cleanliness but I was right at home here. The pictures do not do it justice. There is no shortage of natural light. The beds were all comfortable and the linens were very soft. There were extra blankets too which were used since it was chilly on the first couple of nights. We ate most of our meals out on the deck. We enjoyed playing games at night and relaxing in the basement. It was also fun watching the tiny squirrels run all around. They weren’t very shy! We saw chipmunks a groundhog a loon on the stream and even a young porcupine climbing a tree by the driveway!! I had no idea what it was at first!
The kayak launch was a little intimidating because it’s a very small area so we skipped that. Really a lovely property. I would absolutely come back and stay in the future.

All the amenities you could want!
Thank you so much for an amazing stay in Sedgwick! We loved the location for our day trips and found the house to have everything we could have needed or wanted. Every detail was taken to make our visit comfortable and enjoyable. We will be back soon!

Perfect Get Away
My husband and I like to get "off the grid" and experience an area for it's local offerings and not necessarily the tourist attractions. This property was perfect for that! It was very quiet and rural yet accessible to everything we wanted to see and do. We went to Acadia but also saw Holbrook Island Preserve, which was a beautiful ride close to the house. We fell in love with Belfast, ME! It is a quintessential Maine town without all the tourist trappings. We also found the greatest Lobster & Mac variations at The Friars Brewhouse & Taproom in Bucksport. The locally made a Dusseldorf brew which was amazing! 1 Campstream was a beautiful property to stay at. It had everything we wanted, was beautifully furnished and had lots of information about the area! Thank you for creating such a perfect Get Away for us!!

Magical
Of all the properties we have stayed at over the years, this one is a winner in the amenities, comfort, and kitchen categories.
The amenities we used included a reliable WiFi, and streaming services, washer and dryer. We did not use the outdoor grill or kayak or hammock or games provided, but imagine a family with children would use these.
As far as comfort, the bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable and there were numerous sitting areas and dining spaces indoors and outdoors.
The kitchen was truly the best stocked of any rental we’ve seen! This allowed us to prepare more meals “at home” and then dine on the outdoor covered deck with a beautiful water view.
Lastly, the flower gardens were well maintained and delightful.
I stay here again and again!

Idyllic setting
We have stayed in several vacation homes in the Bar Harbor area before, and 1 Camp Stream was by far the best! Gorgeous view from the wrap around deck (that the pictures don't do justice) in a very peaceful and serene setting. This is a lovely, modern, well-appointed home, complete with every detail needed to enjoy your stay (loads of kitchen equipment, games, entertainment center), every modern convenience and super clean! We had never stayed on the Green Hill Peninsula before and found it to be much calmer than MDI with far less traffic and crowds. There are plenty of quiet places to hike, kayak, and all sorts of excellent eateries. We absolutely loved our stay here and hope to return sometime soon.

Great House
Amazing house and owner has all the information you need.
The only issues are distances to restaurants and stores. Also not many options as to restaurants. WiFi reception is minimal. So cook in and you'll love the place.

Perfect Property & Location
Great house, laid out perfectly for a party of 6 (4 adults and 2 kids) with privacy for everyone and yet good common room and outdoor space. As an added benefit, the house is super well stocked and equipped for meals at home. Pictures generally fall short of the true feeling and look of the overall property. I highly recommend it and will likely be back.

Quiet Retreat
We had an amazing stay at Camp Stream! We were close to all of our favorite hikes on Blue Hill, Deer Isle, and in Acadia. We rented kayaks and loved being able to slip them into the water anytime we wanted. The house was perfect, had everything we needed and lots of little details that we appreciated. We spent evenings on the deck with hummingbirds and chipmunks watching the stars come out with an amazing view. We hope to return another year!

Wonderful stay!
This property was wonderful inside and out. We had wonderful views from the living room, bedrooms, and deck. The property was situated near the river and the yard was landscaped with beautiful flowers and bushes. It was a delight to use the kitchen which was equipped with everything we needed. We hope to return!

Beautiful Home!
We loved our stay at the Sedgwick house. Very well appointed with everything we needed and even things we forgot we would need. It was more like staying at a friends home rather than a rental which was really nice. I you get a chance, the Blue Hill Cafe has amazing fresh donuts!

Amazing location and beautiful house.
The pictures don’t do the property justice. It has all the creature comforts in an absolutely serene setting. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and we had everything we needed. We hope to come back next year!

Gorgeous home!
If you are looking for a spacious, gorgeous home, just far enough away from the hustle-bustle of Bar Harbor...this is it. This is our second time visiting the Blue Hill area and we just love the area. There is so much to see and do in Stonington, Castine, and all the other quaint Maine towns. The house is beautifully situated to enjoy all that Downeast Maine has to offer with all of the attractions no more than an hour from the house (and some 15-30 minutes away). The house itself is gorgeous..the pictures really don't do it justice. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of pots/pans and gadgets so if you like to cook at home for some of your meals you will not have to search for tools. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well decorated. Doug checked in with us a few times to see how we were doing! Thanks for a beautiful home!

Delightful and private, Camp Stream point
Just love this place. It is quiet, relaxing and a pleasure to live in for a week or a month.Rooms are large and pleasant upstairs and down.The house is bright and airy, yet affords guests privacy from each other, if desired. The large deck is great for reading and relaxing or family dinners outside. The informal gardens are lovely, filled with flowers of many colors and variety. It's obvious that someone loves tending them. There is a large game/TV room downstairs with large screen TV and DVD player. Located near Blue Hill and Bucksport (an up and coming Maine small town), shopping and excellent restaurants are easily accessible. Acadia National Park is about an hour or so drive. Bangor Intl Airport is 45 minutes away. I will likely be returning to Camp Stream many times in the future. If you love Downeast Maine, this is a wonderful place from which to enjoy it.

The Best! Like new condition with top notch appliances, nice linens and great comfortable furniture. The kitchen and pantry were stocked with every thing you need! A new gas grill was equipped with an extra propane tank for home grillers!. Location is close to grocery shopping and nice restaurants if you want to eat out. The lower level has leather furniture and a great TV for relaxation! A beautiful drive to Acadia, Bar Harbor and Stonington with great shopping along the way. One of our favorite experiences included renting kayaks as this lovely home is located the Bagaduce river, home to eagles and gorgeous scenery. the property manager was quick to respond to our every need! I can't wait to come back!

Absolutely Exquisite!
Camp Stream is a true gem! The accommodations are luxurious with each room beautifully appointed and filled with light from the oversize windows and sliding doors opening out to the wrap-around deck. The kitchen provides everything a traveller might want - top of the line appliances and even a brand new barbecue! The location is idyllic – set amongst a forest of trees in a secluded location overlooking the Baggaduce River. Grocery shopping and restaurants are close by making this property a treasure. I’ll be sure to return!
