About Turnstone Cottage

We love the rustic elegance of our shiplap walls and wood-beam ceilings and hope our guests find them as calming and restorative as we do. The living room features a comfortable seating group, centered around a centerpiece unique light fixture. A large flat screen TV is provided for your enjoyment.

The highly functional and fully equipped kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances and a Nespresso machine.

The first of two bedroom suites features a king-size bed, dual vanities and lamps, with an ensuite bath with tub/shower. The second bedroom suite has a queen bed, also with dual vanities and lamps. The ensuite bath has a spacious walk-in shower.

A charmingly unique feature of the Turnstone Cottage is the second-story loft. Accessible from either the custom-made ladder in the living room and an outside staircase, it features two twin beds. Just outside the door is a porch, perfect for enjoying the sights and sounds of nature, in the fresh, sweet Maine air.

The covered front porch is another great spot to curl up with a good book, as you enjoy the peace and quiet of your surroundings. With the dining table for 6, it makes for a lovely semi-alfresco meal. The gas grill allows for fun and easy family barbecues.

About the host

Hosted by Jong B

Host profile image
As I love to entertain guests and socialize, I was drawn to the hospitality industry. also love traveling, good food, and great company. Staying fit in both mind and body is important to me, so I spend time running and working out, as well as practicing both yoga and meditation.

I am drawn to well-built and unique homes, which explains why I love this one so much! I am also just a bit of an introvert, so the idea of the peace and quiet this home affords was very appealing to me. 

I hope you love it as much as I do!
