Thankful for this Maine getaway

A tucked away little gem of a house. You are greeted with views everywhere you turn and there is plenty of space for everyone to stretch out. We cooked, relaxed, explored, and thoroughly enjoyed all of the comforts this house provides. We definitely hope to return!

Three sisters by the sea

I took my two sisters here for their birthday. They are in their sixties and I am seventy. We brought our little dogs. We absolutely loved our stay. We were thrilled with this beautiful home by the sea. We hope to go back. We have been going to the Maine Coast for years and this turned out to be one of our favorite places we have stayed. The view of the water right from the living room can’t be surpassed!

Beautiful location!

What a wonderful time we had at the house. It was the perfect setting for us to celebrate my Mom‘s 80th birthday. There was plenty of room for our whole family. We loved love large kitchen. The house was perfect for entertaining. The views were spectacular with the little private beach in front and Stover’s Point beach right down the street to explore. We also had a chance to explore the local hiking/walking trails, which were easy to access and beautiful. We would definitely love to come back for another adventure.

About the host

Hosted by Dustin Slocum

I grew up in Harpswell and attended Mt. Ararat High School. During summers I worked as a stern man on a lobster boat and as a clerk at Bailey’s Store in Harpswell Center. From an early age I admired my father and his work and wanted to follow in his footsteps to be a chiropractor. I attended USM and Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis. After graduating, I came back to Maine and began practicing with my father. Shortly after returning to Maine, I met my wife, Kate. Kate grew up in Brunswick and attended Bowdoin College. We married soon after she graduated and started a family. We now have five wonderful children.

Why they chose this property

In 2011, my brother took over our chiropractic business as I wanted more time to be present with my family. Through the years, we have bought and managed real estate investments throughout Maine. It only felt natural to expand my real estate investments to purchasing this amazing cottage in Harpswell. I am a licensed real estate agent and when this property came on the market, I knew it was a great opportunity. Just one visit down there and a look at the views this property boasts had me. Someday, I hope that I will have even more time to enjoy the cottage all summer with my family. But for now, I want other fine folks from away to be able to experience Maine the way I have all of my life.
