There’s also an excellent food co-op, which is also Maine’s largest and oldest, where you can pick up locally made products. We’ll see historic Victorian architecture, quaint shops and boutiques, and local artist galleries and studios. We’ll find a stunning spot for a picnic lunch, and then it will be back to our waterfront sanctuary for a relaxing dinner.ĭay 6 gives us some time to spend in nearby Belfast, a picturesque waterfront town where the Passagassawakeag River feeds into Belfast Bay. A definite stop will be the top of Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the East Coast of the United States, offering magnificent views of a glaciated coastal and island landscape. To make the most of our trip to these 47,000 acres of nature’s gorgeousness, we’ll most likely take some of the shuttle bus loops to keep our visit eco-friendly and stress-free. It’s an early start on Day 5 as we drive about one and a half hours to Acadia National Park, the stunning crown jewel of the North Atlantic Coast, outside of Bar Harbor.

It also has a screened porch, Adirondack chairs, a fire pit, three kayaks, a canoe, and a stand up paddleboard. Our secondary property (all meals will be at the main house) is a 10 minute drive away and sits on a large pond. The waterfront has a large dock, lounge chairs, four kayaks, a canoe, a rowboat, and two stand up paddleboards. The grounds boast hidden hammocks to swing on and sway in the waterfront breezes and read.

The property sits on 100 private wooded acres and 3,000 feet of water frontage, ripe for exploring. Our main house is a luxurious lakeside house (it’s been featured in a magazine!) with an enormous screened porch and outdoor stone fireplace. Back at our lodgings, we’ll enjoy another dinner and perhaps some games or a movie.ĭay 4 will be spent chilling out and exploring the spectacular grounds of our lodgings. Across the harbor you’ll be able to see Owls Head Light. Those who can’t get enough of the water can walk out nearly a mile on Rockland’s breakwater to Breakwater Light. Rockland is known as Maine’s art capital, and we’ll stop at the Farnsworth Museum, featuring works from artists including Gilbert Stuart, Winslow Homer, and the Wyeth family. Dinner will be back at our lodging.ĭay 3 brings us arts and charm in Rockland, a quintessential small town along Maine’s rocky and scenic Mid-coast. Beautiful rocky shorelines, hidden mansions, small islands, lighthouses, seals, bald eagles, and other magnificent ships are just a few of the amazing sights to look forward to while sailing in this beautiful part of the bay.

Then, after a picnic lunch, we head down to one of the highlights of the week–a two-hour schooner ride on Penobscot Bay. First, we take a short drive up Mount Battie for a stunning view of Camden’s harbor.

Monday, our first full day, we will experience where “the mountains meet the sea” from both sides in nearby Camden, Maine, an idyllic seaside town with a lovely harbor. Once we arrive, Mark will whip up a welcome dinner, giving you time to settle in and explore our home base for the next six nights. If you don’t arrive until late in the day, we can pick you up at the airport before heading up the coast it’s a two hour drive to our houses. You can take a taxi to the downtown area, and if you have time, you may want to have a wander around this fun and historic waterfront city. We’ll coordinate arrival times and set a meeting place downtown. Try to arrive in Portland early in the day on Sunday.
