The Birdhouse of Maine
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Listen to wildlife sing at The Birdhouse of Maine! You'll be just a short drive away from the wonderful Arcadia National Park, where you'll be able to hike on its many breathtaking trails and enjoy the sights. Take a walk down to the shores of the beaches and relax for a while with a cold drink in hand as you bask in the sun. You'll be in luck: the Claremont Hotel is right next door, with fantastic dining options, a small bakery, and a bar.
This quaint home offers all the comforts and amenities you'll need in order to relax. Inside, you'll find beautiful paintings of birds hung up on the walls, along with comfy furnishings in the small but humble living area. Cook up a delectable meal in the fully equipped kitchen or throw some patties onto the gas grill for some classic American barbecue. After you're done dining alfresco and enjoying the view right from the comfort of your deck, head inside and pop open the board games with your family and play until the sun comes up.
Things to Know
To optimize the best views, the living room, kitchen, and bath are on the upper floor. Indoor stair access is required.
If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. No more dogs are allowed.
