About this property

Pet Friendly Waterfront Farmhouse- PVT OFC, Views, Kayaks, Game Room & Playset

Winter, spring, summer or fall, forget your worries & feel your stress melt away in this charming waterfront home.

Wake-up to glorious sunrises, relax on one of the many outside seating areas, swim, float, fish, kayak, go boating, whale/bird watching, river rafting, leaf peeping, nap on the hammocks, sun bath, have a beach/pit fire, golf, hike, catch a movie or summer concert, or simply enjoy the incredible water views, and the ever changing (25’) tides from the inside.

There is a private office shed at the water’s edge with WiFi, should you need to work. There is a pool/ping-pong, air hockey, & foosball table & basketball arcade in the barn for those rainy days. There are also books, board games, children’s toys, and a large Rainbow Castle swing playset and a fenced-in toddler play area.

There’s something for everyone at RiverHouse.

RiverHouse is a traditional Maine farmhouse built in 1840. It sits on an acre of land on the St. Croix. It is flanked by coves, and it is landscaped with flower beds, apple, peach & lilac trees. It has been totally renovated while keeping its charm, and has amazing water views from every room. The driveway is large enough for a boat.

The dining and living rooms have French doors that open to gravel patios. The sunroom has wall-to-wall windows perfectly capturing the spectacular views, and an electric fireplace for those chilly days. The kitchen also has wall to wall windows, double ovens, and is fully stocked with every essentials, and more- you will find in the fridge and pantry complimentary basics. The family room has a large sectional, smart TV, sound bar & electric fireplace for cozy family nights. The bedrooms all have very comfy, plush mattresses with bed warmers, electric fireplaces, water views & black-out curtains. The bed in the master bedroom faces large windows-get ready to wake-up to surreal sunrises. There’s a seating room off the master bedroom with sofas & a half-bathroom.

You can access the beach at either side of the property via lit stairs. There’s a rocky beach with a small over-the-water (high-tide) deck. There are foldable sun loungers, beach towels, and 4 adult & 3 youth kayaks-picture yourself kayaking down the beautiful St Croix with eagles soaring overhead. You may also take the kayaks to nearby lakes.

There is a dual pallet/gas grill, a family table at the water’s edge, and several seating areas scattered throughout the property for you to relax & enjoy the magnificent views. There are also several hammocks, a swing bench, a floating deck with wooden sun loungers, and a fire pit with free firewood. At night the trees are bathed in blue light & there are solar lights throughout the property-you’ll feel like you’re at a resort.

Calais is your quintessential small American town with shops, restaurants and bars dotting Main St. It sits on the St. Croix River with 3 border crossings into Canada. There’s a movie theater, public library, boat launch, golf course, a waterfront walkway, and concerts are held during the summer at the riverfront park.

The St. Croix is saltwater and tidal, flowing into the Bay of Fundy which has the highest tides, and is full of freshwater and saltwater marine life.

RiverHouse is just 2 mins from the St Croix Country Club ⛳️, 5 mins from downtown, hiking trails, boat launch, & the Canadian border, 30 minutes from Eastport, 50 minutes from Lubec and Campobello Island (Roosevelt’s summer home) and 2 hours from Bar Harbor, Bangor and from Aroostook County. it is perfectly located for exploring unspoiled Downeast Maine, “The County” and Canada.

About the host

Hosted by Gabriela Lake

Host profile image
I love travelling, reading, music, dancing, gardening, hiking, SUP and skiing. I’m blessed to be able to call Ireland, Spain and Maine home.

Being able to share my special place, and hearing how much my guest enjoyed their stay is my favorite part of hosting.

Why they chose this property

Calais is a quite, down-to-earth typical American town with 3 border crossings into Canada, & it’s perfectly centered to many other wonderful regions in Maine such as Arcadia, DownEast & Aroostook locally known as The County. There are many trails for hiking and birdwatching, and nearby whale watching and deep sea fishing. But really, just watching the ebb and flow of the St Croix is amazing…so grab a bottle of wine and watch it from RiverHouse 😉

What makes this property unique

The amazing views from every room and outdoor spaces which makes you feel like you’re at a resort.
