About this country house 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, Perch bakery/cafe, Dayboat Cafe for lunches and snacks, Ida's Wine Bar for food pop-ups and workshops, and there is a local brewery 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 shop, available upon request for lessons on welding and metalworking. She also offers a 10% discount off our handmade wares to guests and their friends & family, purchased at the house or at her website.

Lovely historic house filled with eclectic treasures. Charm more than makes up for the lack of modern conveniences.

There were 6 of us staying at Erica’s home. Some of us love the adventure of staying in an older home, some of us aren’t too enamored with it! I personally loved the quirks, the slightly slanted floors, sleeping with the windows open, etc! I didn’t meet Erica, but I could almost imagine her finding each piece of art, the shells, the pottery, the antiques and just delighting in finding the perfect place for them in her very special home. It’s not a place for those who want a chain hotel experience, but if you want authenticity, adventure and a few oddities, this place is for you! It is a bit close to the road if you sleep in the front bedroom and road nose bothers you, but if you’re used to your husband’s snoring it’s not a problem! Erica provides ear plugs too! We only used the kitchen for coffee and tea, so can’t vouch for that, and Erica was available if we needed her or had questions but we didn’t. I personally give it a 5 star rating, though my cousin wouldn’t be quite so kind in her rating!

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!
6 / 10Average·Aug 2018
While everything worked and the property was very clean, the condition of the building itself was disappointing. The building smells like an old house full of old things. It is very close to a busy road and, since it doesn’t have a/c, we were subjected to a lot of road noise through the open windows. There was also extensive use extension cords which was disconcerting. Erica was very nice and eager to please. I would not stay there again
