About this farm stay rental

A Beautiful Greek Revival home with wide wrap around porches poised for lovey afternoon and evening sun. Set on 3 acres of hillside, and a 5 minute walk into the small village of Waldoboro and its town dock (bring your kayak/canoe, etc), this is close to many beautiful parks, waterways, and other more famous areas of mid midcoast Maine (but they are more crowded!), such as Damariscotta, Rockland, Camden, Belfast, Acadia. The village of Waldoboro has a great local family friendly pub, the Narrows, and there is a local brewery as well less than a mile away in a beautiful barn setting. The house is close to many conveniences and pretty privately set among trees, and note also close to the road where local traffic heads to and from the tip of our peninsula, to Friendship (mostly lobster and lumber toting vehicles).

Rooms are lovingly furnished with owners' finds from antique and flea markets. This is not a fully renovated old house, so it has it's old charm and quirks, and is a bit rough around the edges, but we think it's beautiful and cozy - see the pictures! There is NO AC or TV, but there is good Wifi. This house is Erica’s primary home, and in wanting to share it's beauty, she hands it over to visitors in the Summer, while she and her cat and dog move into the barn loft above her metal studio, where she focuses on her full time metal craft business. Contact is advised prior to booking to assure latest updates in availability!

In the attached post and beam barn is a well appointed metal and wood shop, available upon request for guided use and/or furniture to sculpture, she can arrange to be a sort of Maker Space B&B! She also offers a 10% discount off our handmade wares to guests and their friends & family, purchased at the house or at her website.

This is a nice big house, with great bedrooms and 3 full baths upstairs and a half bath downstairs. Great for the small children. Wonderful location, just a block or so outside of Waldoboro, so convenient to route 1 and to get to the shore points and beaches. Kitchen is spacious, with a great table/countertop. Erica is very helpful and nice, and the dog she has is the best dog ever!

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The captain's house was a perfect place to celebrate my mum's 80th birthday. There was so much room for everyone, Erica was a dream host and it was the perfect location to get to all the fun attractions in Maine. We loved the big porch and fire pit to connect after a long day. The kitchen was a great place to all cook together and the long table was the perfect place to sit down and have suppers together. Thank you Erica for making our trip so wonderful and memorable. We would give the captain's house a 20/10. Amazing memories

Our family arrived late at night. The house was easy to find and very welcoming. The rooms and furnishings are splendid with all the unique furniture and decor Erika has. We really enjoyed staying in such a historic place. All the bedrooms are upstairs and there is no AC, as noted in the description. The pictures make the rooms look crowded but they are spacious and not cramped at all. One thing we didn’t realize is shoes are to be removed before entering the house, so I wish I had brought slippers for in-house only. It was a great time and the home is comfortable.

Our experience at this vacation home in Waldoboro was nothing short of perfect. E.'s exceptional hospitality, combined with the beauty and comfort of the home, made our stay unforgettable. We highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone looking for a memorable and delightful getaway. The level of care and hospitality provided by our host was nothing short of extraordinary. I must share a remarkable act of kindness that illustrates our host’s dedication. When we realized we had left a life-saving medication behind, E immediately reached out to us and offered to meet us halfway to return it, saving 2 hours on our drive. Her generosity and patience were deeply appreciated, and we are incredibly grateful. From the moment we started planning our trip, E. was a source of invaluable information. We peppered her with numerous questions before and after booking, and she consistently responded with grace and kindness. This level of service alone sets this vacation rental apart, and we cannot recommend E. and her home more highly. Located just a five-minute walk from downtown Waldoboro, the home's central location made it easy for us to explore coastal and central Maine. The house itself is a beautifully restored historic gem, lovingly cared for and filled with fascinating antiques. It comfortably accommodated our group of six, which included a teenager and a young adult. The home exudes a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect retreat.

As adults we found the history of the place interesting. We intended to have children stay with us but with so much "history" in the space we decided it would not be safe for them and the place. Above all we totally enjoyed the beautiful porch.Thank you

The captains house was everything we wanted., open, big, great porch and a huge kitchen to cook meals together in. The location is close to the water and attractions, but out of the congestion of rt 1.
