About this property

Handcrafted Post and Beam Saltbox

Awaken to the sounds of lobster boats as they dart their way between the many islands of Hockomock Channel. Enjoy your coffee basking on the sun-drenched deck. Launch your kayak at the bottom of the hill and explore the many islands that are easily in your reach.

This post and beam open concept home is anchored by a large center chimney and a relaxing fireplace in the living room. It features a modern kitchen, an open loft area with day bed and TV. The home has phone and wireless internet service. Two bedrooms with full size beds and a quaint bunk in a loft in the downstairs bedroom. A cozy jacuzzi tub room features an antique stained glass window. A gas grill is provided on the deck which also has two roll out awnings to provide shade

The home is located on a dead-end street in a quiet fishing village. Minutes away from fresh and salt water beaches. A five minute walk to the Broad Cove Marine, a lobster pound that will cook and serve you up some lobster and clams right on their deck. The town landing is only a short walk down a quiet road. Shopping and galleries are 15 minutes away in Damariscotta, or 30 minutes to Boothbay Harbor.

Kayaking, Hiking, and Coffee Shops
An excellent "base camp" for day trips on the coast. La Verna and Dodge Point Nature Preserves provided us with lovely walks with river and oceans views, complete with eagles and seals. Great place with two very minor complaints: the kitchen could use more lighting, and the "half bathroom" is a (spa-)bath without a toilet. Everything else was as good or better than expected.

Comfortable and cozy
Very comfortable cabin by the sea in a small, quiet Maine town. The cabin has all the amenities needed for a family with small children. We really enjoyed our stay. Waking up every morning and seeing the lobster boats sitting at anchor was so relaxing. Also, we had two clear nights with great stargazing

Beautiful home; gorgeous view!
Marc’s home could not be more lovely, spacious, and comfortable. It has beautiful post and beam construction and many small details that make it feel very “Down East”. The kitchen is very well-equipped and the beds are very comfortable. The deck is so nice and faces East towards the inlet, where you can watch all of the lobster boats. There is a lobster pound a quarter mile away that we ate at every night! The best deal around! We would go back to Marc’s home anytime!

Views Much Better Than Pictures Suggest
This is a great vacation property. The location and views of the water and summer sky will be with us for years to come. Eating outside on the deck, an excellent gas grill, easy walk to Broad Cove down the hill for freshest live lobsters and clams -- all great. The art work and furnishings were an unexpected bonus. Unique and wonderful. Very cozy, very quiet. Thank you for sharing such a special place!

About the host

Hosted by Marc Poirier

Host profile image
I built this post and beam home to resemble an antique post and beam saltbox I visited in Freeport. I crafted all the interior cabinets, doors as well as the frame. I now use the home as my winter residence and have my oil paintings hanging throughout the home.

Why they chose this property

Quiet setting in a rural fishing community that is an easy reach to many local attractions, like Pemaquid Point, Boothbay Harbor, Damariscotta.

What makes this property unique

As soon as you walk in the door you go into the relax mode. Sitting in front of the fireplace sharing some wine is quite peaceful. Then a little stargazing from the deck is absolutely breathtaking!
