About this house rental
Beautiful rustic 3 level oak timber house, nestled in trees atop hogback ridge, decks and views all around. Overlooks the tidal Long Reach Cove.
Explore hiking trails, see eagles, osprey, many birds. Hike down the ridge, find "Secret Beach" below, push off with canoe, kayak, get out on the water, go for a dip at high tide, at low tide clammers out back in the mud! Walk down the road to pick up lobsters. Wildlife sanctuary on adjacent shore. Property caretaker resides in the art studio next door, give a shout if anything is needed.
Additional Items to consider:
A section of the trail down to beach is steeper, will need a few sidesteps, but it's a great 3 min hike.
The property is for sale, so there is a sign. (Great investment property books fast!)
Some of the old timers on the island collect things, one of them is the only neighbor, he is a funny, good guy, we did our best to fence off his "collection".
08-16-26 – AC may need a tune up

this house is so awesome - everything about it is wonderful: views from every location (woodsy wonderland to subtle serenity of tidal basin and birds), openness without vastness inside, multiple areas for relative privacy (but closeness for earshot connection without hollering) - even the windowSILLS were thoughtfully wide...
we thought we would come to Harpswell and hang out in the house a little, and go out for lobsters a lot, and we ended up in the house for a week with only one venture for takeout at Cook's, which was great, but not great enough to get us to leave the house again.
that's not true - we took the canoe to the tiny island just upstream from the Secret Beach (the path is real, not manicured), where there was a nook for pulling in and a tree made for climbing.
my small dog (Toy Poodle) had issues with the stairs (they're open to the space below), but by the fifth day was going up and down the first two levels like a champ, and Drew was awesome to hang out with, helpful, and super respectful... we didn't want to leave, and will absolutely be returning.

The cabin is lovely. Great shared spaces, large windows with light, two decks. Having a washer dryer was a plus as well. Drew was super helpful and friendly. Would recommend!

This stay has waterfront access and you can canoe or kayak which is especially beautiful at sundown. The house is kept up nice and the decks are great for relaxing outside and enjoying the view. The location is close to all the most interesting places to see and good local restaurants. The host is super friendly, accommodating and easy to work with.
