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.

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.

Really Lovely

Excellent place to stay in, cook, and enjoy the sunset on a grand front porch. Or if you like exploring, oysters, beaches, and ferry rides, all are closeby. Music nerds: Be prepared to fall in love.

Wonderful location for an amazing family trip to Maine
Wonderful location for an amazing family trip to Maine
Our family (ranging from 8 to 79 years old) had an amazing time on our trip to Maine. This location was great to do all sorts of day trips (Acadia, Freeport, Boothbay Harbor to name a few). Erica was a fabulous host and the house was exactly what we needed. After a successful day of clamming she happily hooked us up with a hose to clean off our muddy boots and clothes in the yard lol. As she notes, there's no a/c and no TVs, but it didn't bother us; we even got the teenagers to stop playing on their phones and join us for some card games! We spent a lot of time rocking on the porch and enjoying the wonderful Maine weather We were able to fit two cars (a mini-van and an SUV) in the parking area with no issue. Would recommend this house to any family that's ok with stairs and older children (Erica has such cool things she's collected that I'd be worried a toddler might break something). If we're ever back that way again we'd definitely stay there. Thank you again Erica! :-)

It was a fun, funky, older house. We loved it and Erika was very helpful. As with any older house, there were a few quirks, but we had a great time staying there! The location was also very convenient and made day trips to other parts of Maine really easy.

This house is a rare find. It's very large and spacious for a big group. While the pictures are very accurate, you don't realize how big it is until you walk through it. There are a lot of interesting nooks and areas to explore in the house. It is filled with interesting antiques and collectibles which is also fun. It is a little rough around the edges but that is clearly stated in the description. Our biggest problem was the dampness from all of the rain which created standing water in the basement and a damp smell in the house. There were also issues in our group with allergies, most likely from the owners pets and also the dampness. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful in addressing these issues. With the help of allergy medicine, we had a great time staying in the former sea captains house. The location is terrific if you want to explore the towns along the coast and then come back to the quiet town of Waldoboro. Everything we wanted to do was just a short distance away. We really enjoyed our stay in Waldoboro.
