About this house rental
Quintessential Maine home featured as cover story in Accent Magazine (See Cover Photo). Very private situated on the Piscataqua River with access to the Atlantic Ocean. Dock and mooring provide use of kayaks, canoe, and excellent swimming. Lie in the hammock and enjoy stunning sunsets every afternoon. Home is located about five miles from Portsmouth, NH. Boats can go directly to the ocean and use of a mooring at the house is included. The river is tidal and makes for very good swimming (the water is generally 10 to 15 degrees warmer than at the ocean) with safe, gentle current anytime between half and full high tide. This part of the river is wide and wooded with few houses for a very private feel in completely natural surroundings. There is a tremendous amount of wildlife viewing directly from the house including bald eagle, red tail hawk, cormorant, fox, deer, wild turkey, and seal. Excellent fishing for Striped Sea Bass and Bluefish, directly in front of the house.
Home features 1 bedroom with Queen bed, den with fold out futon and bath on the first floor and 2 bedrooms with King size beds and bath on the second floor including a Master suite with French doors to balcony overlooking the water, master bath includes large spa tub. Kitchen/dining/family room with stone fireplace and French doors to deck and screened porch. Living room with grand piano and built in bookcases.
Gourmet Kitchen offers 6 burner Viking cook top, n GE Convection Oven, stainless refrigerator and walk in pantry. Property surrounded by gardens and many opportunities for quiet walks. Nearby Portsmouth and Portland offer tons of cultural events, restaurants and shopping.

Wonderful! Relaxing, quiet, spectacular sunsets. Morning coffee outside on the deck listening to the quiet motion of the river. Very comfortable home with everything we needed.

Holly’s home is spacious & well supplied. Located in a beautiful peaceful private area overlooking the tidal river with a deck, patio & screened porch, there is much to enjoy. The kitchen is well equipped, and there is a great gas grill on the patio. Access to the river was a bit of a challenge, as it is steep & quite a balancing act to get a kayak or paddleboard into the water. The water is calm and lovely near the dock, but only deep enough to use for a couple of hours before and after high tide.

The house was just as pictured and very clean. Well-equipped met all our needs! Communication with holly and caretaker excellent! Loved all the artwork throughout the house. Notice something every day. We had a very enjoyable time and enjoyed exploring the surrounding towns.

As we prepare to leave your special home I carry with me so many wonderful memories and such a sense of peace. I will miss hearing the roosters in the morning and all the other sounds of nature that add to the serenity of this magical place. The tides, the morning and evening skies, and the changing light all make this a truly wondrous setting. Your sense of elegance and whimsy create a feeling of relaxation immediately. Usually it takes several days for me to shift into vacation mode but as soon as I walked into your home it was instantaneous. Every room has its own character with loving attention to detail. Your sense of color and design is a feast for the eyes.
