About this property

Ashgrove--Farm and Gardens on the Ocean

A delightful location on Penobscot Bay, five-minutes drive from Camden, with its picturesque harbor, full of sailboats from around the world and its own schooner fleet. Trail heads, accessing Camden Hills State Park, are just a few minutes away. Views from the high points in the park are renowned for their extraordinary beauty and expansiveness, inspiring artists and poets for generations.

Surrounded by woods and fields, with a path to our private ocean shore, our deliciously cozy apartment is perfect for couples of all ages. It is situated in five acres of woods with several hundred feet of shoreline and is located about 100 feet from the main house. A footpath leads to the shore with views of the islands and passing sailboats, and where wind and tide bring sometimes subtle, sometimes dramatic changes, from day to day.

Guests may stroll through our organically certified vegetable garden nearby, where vegetables are free for the picking!

The owner is a registered Maine guide and offers hiking and fishing trips in the area.

From the minute we started down the driveway, we knew we chose the right house. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bath towels were even top quality! They even provided beach towels and chairs (although they also had 6 nice chairs down by the water already set up around a lovely fire pit). The walk through the woods to the beach was short and we saw seals, bald eagles, osprey and loons. I collected way too many rocks :) We took the ferry from Lincolnville to Islesboro Island one day and it was fantastic as we found hiking trails on the island (although we were hoping to run into John Travolta). Go check out Fernald’s Neck Preserve (we went twice as it was only 15 minutes away) and stop at Cellardoor Winery on the way back as the wines are very good and so is the wood fired pizza! Also, right down the street is Camden Hills State Park and be sure to check out Mount Battie. Also, check out Maiden Cliff hike by Megunticook Lake. Went to Lubec, Maine and Campobello Island in Canada (which was our 3rd visit there) and loved visiting three lighthouses. Went on an Appledore Schooner sunset sail in Camden which was worth every penny. Ate at wonderful restaurants…Mosaic, Ports of Italy, Claws, Scott’s Place, Peter Ott’s, and The Idle Hour. Thank you Lucy and John for your wonderful hospitality and thinking of everything anyone would ever need!

Peaceful Coastal Retreat

A thoughtfully-designed second-floor apartment with woodland path to private pebble beach. Beautifully decorated, comfortable furniture, functional appliances, well-stocked with amenities, games and books, and very conscientious, attentive, and friendly hosts. Especially appreciated thorough written information about the apartment and area, and quick response to any questions that arose.

We Feel Like We WON the Vrbo LOTTERY!!

I’m not even kidding you, the apartment above the garage is lovely, very clean, great kitchen, small bathroom, basically all you need or could want. However, The walk down to the private beach and the private rocky beach itself is breathtaking, completely, and totally worth the price of the admittance. We had a fire on the beach every night and it was amazing. We could not possibly be any happier, hated to leave! Thanks again.

Wonderful retreat, special people and beach

Lucy and John’s apartment has everything you need, and then there’s the beach! What a special place. I got up to watch the sunrise there many mornings. Lucy and John are wonderful hosts, attentive and friendly but respectful of privacy. They provide a great list of insider things to do, too. I’m so glad to have met them. And John even drops off veggies! Lincolnville is a perfect location to explore the mid coast of Maine; even Acadia NP is just a 90 minutes drive, very doable for the day. Easy distance to Camden/Camden Hills, Rockland, Belfast. Lots of hiking, swimming, paddling. Megunticook Lake is a charm. Recommend!

Wonderful hosts; Convenient but private; Peaceful setting.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Ashgrove above-garage apartment! The open design was fine for us; windows across the living area wall gave an airy feel, with nearby trees and a view to a field. The steps to the apartment entrance are somewhat steep, but we had no trouble with them. The bathroom is small, with a small wash sink in the adjoining room, along with a day bed there. It was unusual, but we adapted to it okay. That bed became the platform for our suitcases to lay, for easy access to clothes, etc. The queen bed was very comfy for us, even tho' I'm hard to please, spoiled by our Tempurpedic adjustable. We couldn't really take advantage of free produce Lucy kindly offered from their farm because we ate out almost all the time. Another time, we might plan some meals in, but the seafood is so good in the area, we eat all we can stand while we are there. I am confident we would stay at Ashgrove again in the cooler seasons. (Though most locals tend to think AC is rarely needed, we don't do well without it, so we wait till September, when odds are better that even with too-warm days, the nights will be cool enough to cool the space down with open windows. We had no trouble here on this visit, even though it did get a little warmer than average. Fans are provided, and we did use them some.) We didn't stay around the place that much because we stayed on the go a lot, but we definitely enjoyed sitting on the deck drinking coffee or eating a bite, and we walked down to their private shore a couple times to watch the loons and ducks and enjoy the sounds of the waves lapping the rocks. Considering the very reasonable price of this rental, and the absolutely wonderful hosts in John and Lucy, we are very thankful to have found this rental, and we hope to return again!

Hi Dale – Thank you for your kind words, and I am so glad that you really enjoyed yourselves. I have to apologize for not explaining that the heater in the wall next to the tuner is a heat pump and so provides either heat or AC as you need it— maybe next time! :)

This is mid-coast Maine at it's most authentic - nestled in an actual small working farm, with extremely kind and attentive hosts. Beautiful little path down to the rock beach for a peaceful vista of Islesboro. Super convenient to Camden, Lincolnville and Belfast, this is a wonderful location for a restful experience in Mid-Coast Maine. We'll be back!

Fall in New England 2022

We stayed here for 5 nights at the end of an 18 day tour of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Ashgrove Farm was the perfect ending for us. Our hosts, Lucy and John, were easy to communicate with, and we met them just as we left. Gracious hosts! Their place has easy access to all that the Camden area has to offer and yet the cabin is peaceful and secluded. We enjoyed the private beach, the deck overlooking the woods, it was all great!
