We are located in the “Midcoast” area of Maine, approximately 5-miles from Belfast and 30 miles from Bangor. We are about 25-minutes north of the picturesque, harbor town of Camden (known as The Jewel of the Coast). Camden offers many unique shops and restaurants, cruises on windjammers, whale watching excursions, etc. About 1-hour north of us is the resort town of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Acadia has 125-miles of hiking trails as well as 45-miles of carriage roads for biking and horse-drawn carriages. There are numerous small towns to explore in the area, including Castine, Wiscassett, Rockland and Boothbay Harbor. From Bar Harbor you can take a jet-catamaran to Nova Scotia, arriving in less than three hours.

There is ferry service to several islands for day get-aways. From Lincolnville Beach you can go to Islesboro for biking, kayaking, or picnics. Over the years it has been home to several celebrities, including at this time John Travolta and Kirstie Allee.

The small town of Searsport has a famous legacy as the “Home to Famous Sea Captains”. In the 19th century 10 percent of all ships sailing under the American flag were captained by men from Searsport -about 300 commanders in all. Searsport is home to the Penobscot Marine Museum (Maine’s oldest maritime museum) comprised of 13 buildings (homes and barns) creating a “village-like” effect . The house is two blocks from Penobscot Bay, walking distance to a waterfront park, fishing pier, the museum, small grocery store, bank facilities, café, post office, and across the street from the town library and city offices. Sears Island, the largest uninhabited island (accessible by causeway) on the eastern seacoast is a few minutes away and is a good spot for hiking and bird-watching. Searsport is also known for its numerous flea-markets (brocante) and antique shops.

The super market in Belfast is extremely nice and has an amazing array of produce and international groceries - the store is exceptional for a small community due to the corporate presence of Bank of America offices. Belfast also has several very nice restaurants, including ones offering outdoor, waterside dining.

In nearby Bangor, there is a nice slot-machine casino.
