Waterfront, Views, Historic, Spacious, Private, Village And Family Friendly!

Historic home that was a originally a sail loft in the 1800s. Comfortable rooms and lovely outdoor space -- including deck and gardens. Peaceful harbor views.

This was very cool, very old home in the sweet little town of Tenants Harbor, Maine. Home was big; big enough for a family of four, two grandparents and two long-time friends. Everyone had their own bed and there were plenty bathrooms to share. Despite its age, everything in the house worked properly every sink, toilet, shower and appliance operated as it should and we used everything…oven fridge, dishwasher, washer and dryer and both the heating and cooling system. We cooked a good bit and kitchen was well-stocked. It was early October and weather was generally nice but we had a couple of chilly days where we could used the fire pit. Tenants Harbor has a few small-ish hotels/inns and probably about half-a-dozen restaurants/bakeries/cafes. Good little library and great school playground and the harbor and house yard were good play areas for our two toddlers, Nearby towns of Rockland and Camden are bustling towns with lots of shops, art galleries, antique markets, breweries, wine shops, cafes and pubs which made great day trips. Easy driving not more than 30-35 minutes away. We hit 4-5 museums and a couple were fairly impressive. Great house for a large group and we highly recommend it.

This home has a wonderful eclectic and rustic charm. There was plenty of room for the eight of us and the views from the dining/living room areas, deck, and master bedroom of Tenants Harbor were stunning and completely unblocked by any structures. There is a charming “secret garden” across the lane from the house that all of us enjoyed. There was a problem with the water heater producing cold showers but calling the owner, Betsy, resolved the malfunctioning heating element the same day. The owner is delightful to converse with and eager to ensure our stay was perfect. The property is in a great location. This is the fourth house we’ve rented, over the years, for a family summer holiday in Maine and it is the best, by far. There’s a full grocery store just a very short walk away, an amazing bakery (it’s closed Sundays and Mondays) with delicious waist-challenging pastries, pies, and breads. Between the grocery store and bakery is the Happy Clam, a rustic seafood restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. The seafood we had there was absolutely fresh and delicious. There is also within walking distance, an art gallery and another restaurant (we didn’t have time to try it). Also a very short drive away is Port Clyde and the ferry to Mohegan Island. Accessing the main roads out is super easy…all paved no dirt roads (something lacking in previous homes we’d rented in past years). I would rent this place again in a heartbeat.

My family had a wonderful time staying at the historic Sail Loft. The home is spacious and well equipped, and the location can't be beat. The views of the harbor are wonderful and you can walk to the local library, school playground, the General Store, and restaurants at Luke's and the East Wind Inn. Thanks to Betsy for going above and beyond in helping to get us situated in the house. She was quick in her communication and helped us trouble shoot where to park my parent's enormous camper when we realized it wouldn't fit in the provided parking. We'll be back for sure!
