About this property

Early 1800's Bayfront Farmhouse

This charming historical farmhouse with gorgeous waterfront and side views is located at the end of a beautiful ocean bay in Addison Maine. Built by a sea captain in the early 1800's, it served as the village's first post office, a maternity ward for midwives and a vacation home for many guests maintaining the same energizing warmth and hospitality it offered many years ago. Relax on the large front porch with your morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine and watch the birds and seals, sometimes otters, deer, mink and moose! Absorb positive energy from the large tides that constantly change the view for you. Walk or bicycle to Crowley Island, a natural bird preserve and don't forget your camera, the area beaches are just minutes away and connect to trails with breathtaking views. It offers a charming dining and living room, eat in kitchen complete , a cozy library full of books including a children's section, board games, puzzles (a Maine favorite) and over 100 DVDs for a relaxing movie night. Tourist pamphlets and local restaurant menus are kept on premises to help you plan your days and nights. You will be just minutes away from grocery stores, local fisheries, restaurants, gift shops (Blueberry Land) and beaches. Less than 90 minutes away from Acadia National State Park, 27 minutes to Rogues Bluff State Park, 15 minutes away from Beals Island, an hour and 30 minutes to Lubec and Canada. This is a perfect get away for rest and relaxation and a chance to experience the magical shores of Maine. Experience a real "Down East Maine" fishing town with enchanting and picturesque views of rocky coastlines, lobster boats and wildlife. It is the perfect place to kick back, create memories and forget about life for awhile.

Perfect vacation

Loved the beautiful old home, loved the location! By far the best vacation we have had as a family. Loved that the home came well stocked with any thing we could have needed, and thoroughly enjoyed the bikes and kayaks provided. My husband and I are already looking at dates for next summer to book this home again.

Idyllic location with awesome family options

Easy to find and great tips on how to enjoy the place (like kayak at high tide to avoid mud!) We really loved it here and wish we had stayed longer. Kids had a blast playing bocce, chess and kayaking. Loved having tons of movies to choose from! Bring bug spray so you can enjoy the outdoor options!

Second year back

Great property with a fantastic and communicative owner. Wonderfully equipped kitchen and a nice little grocery 3 minutes away makes it easy to cook in, especially considering how few dining options are nearby (a feature, not a demerit). I never return more relaxed from a vacation than when we return from this property.

what an amazing vacation

We absolutely loved our one month stay at Liz's property, right on the ocean - it was our first visit downeast and certainly will not be our last. Liz was responsive with our questions and we enjoyed the house, the canoe, evenings by the firepit, walking along the dirt road to Crowley Island, the several breathtaking nearby hikes, local seafood, day trips to Acadia, and much more! We hope to return again someday, and thanks so much for everything Liz!! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention - fast, reliable wifi and great AT&T cell service! :)

A Jonesport Jewel

This property is everything you could ever want in a vacation property. "Fully furnished," as a descriptor, would undersell how complete it is. One can just show up and have everything needed to cook, recreate, relax, make all sorts of coffee, watch movies, and more. The property itself is beautiful, inside and out. One can walk across the street and sit for hours, making friends with seals, eagles, birds, and foxes. Inside, the house has many beautiful details and it's a great place to relax in the evening. Lastly, the owner is wonderful and always available for advice or questions.

Beautiful waterfront escape

FYI- Addison is all the way at the top of Maine close to Canada! We chose this property because of the beautiful old house and close waterfront. We forgot how big Maine is! The house is large and had more space than we needed but it was nice to spread out since we live in a dense and busy city. This property is wonderful for children, half of the books in the library are children's books and the kids took over the exercise room on the second floor as their living room while we were there. Our favorite part was the large rock ledge just across the (rarely used) road. The kids roasted hot dogs and marshmallows for s'mores over the fire. In the morning we watched seals fishing in the bay right in front of us! Elizabeth, the owner of the property called right before the stay to tell us where everything is, how to get in, and to answer any questions. She is great! We enjoyed our stay very much. Oh, and bring bug spray! Though, if you forget, Elizabeth has that ready for you too ;-)

Amazing!

Our whole experience was fantastic! The house is amazing! The kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking items you might need. There is a dishwasher! That was a game-changer for this vacation. And speaking of game changers, there is also a washer and dryer! That was a wonderful addition to the ease of traveling with kiddos. The property owners were great! Very communicative and sent us a very helpful list of things to know about the area. They also went above and beyond and made sure that some food staples were stocked, a stick of butter, salt, pepper, and lots of spices. It was so nice to know that we didn't need to pack or buy those items. There was also a great library, that also made for less packing as we didn't need to bring a stack of kids' books! The area was great! We kayaked right in the cove across the street and biked down the road, it's a nice 2 mile out and back mostly dirt road. The kids loved Sandy River Beach a 15-minute drive from the house. My one heads up would be if you are traveling with little kiddos the house has a set of stairs that might be problematic/hard to block off if needed. We were so sad to leave! And will definitely be back!

Enchanting

Third time staying at this property: charming old house, many things to do on the property and within walking distance if you’re a nature lover, wildlife galore (a family of bald eagles lives across the bay…), and the owner’s are extremely helpful. My husband has had to make me leave each year we have visited, and the moment we get in the van to drive home, I start planning our next trip up. Thanks again for sharing your home with us Liz!

Great stay and beautiful view

We had a great stay here. The view was incredible!! We have family in the area so didn’t spend a lot of time at the house but when we were there it met all of our needs. My son (11) was thrilled to see bikes for him to borrow. Elizabeth was great to communicate with very thoughtful in prepping her home and the items available for us to use. Would stay her again.

Perfect Combination in Downeast Maine

The Bayfront Farmhouse was the perfect combination for our Downeast Maine family vacation. The home and surrounding area has more than enough family activities with yard games, hiking, biking, and kayaking opportunities outside the front door or within a less than 10 minute drive (bikes and kayaks provided). The home is also an ideal homebase for the region with Acadia National Park, Boot Head Preserve, West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, and Roosevelt Campobello International Park easily accessible for day-trips. The house itself was great for our family of 5. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, spices, etc. for all our cooking needs. Common spaces were comfortable with more than enough room to spread out throughout the house. The large dining table and small kitchen tables are a bonus, but with porch seating and picnic tables in the yard and along the cove we barely used them. More than enough towels and linens were available with a washer and dryer available as needed. Communication with the host was easy and very positive. They provide an excellent primer on the area to help you feel comfortable before you even arrive at the house. Check-in and check-out were a breeze and very positive experience. 5-star review all around!

Wonderful place for a family trip!

We had a wonderful time in Addison. The historic farmhouse is located on a very quiet road. The views of the bay, from the large porch and the shore are awesome and the landscape change all day, thanks to the large tides! The house is fully equipped with everything we needed, plus a lot of books and many puzzles (we tried and finished all of them)! The house was perfectly clean and the rooms were perfect for a good sleep! We truly appreciated the historic charm of the house, since we are owners of an old house ourselves, back in Quebec, Canada! The barn is stocked with bikes, a canoe, two tubes et four kayaks with all the equipment required (safety vests, etc,). We spent many hours exploring the bay and used to go the nice little beach (located on the left in front of the property) for swimming and relaxing. Crowley Island road was a nice place to walk, ride bikes with the kids and watch birds. Right from the porch or while sitting on the shore in front of the house, we never got tired of watching ospreys and bald eagles fishing in the bay all day. We also saw many seals during the week! The house is only minutes away from Sandy river beach, a little gem you don’t want to miss on a short trip to Jonesport! One of the nicest beach in the Bold Coast part of Maine! Finally, Liz is a wonderful host, giving us a call a couple of days before our trip to make sure everything was perfect. She gave us useful informations so we can relax and have a good time! We will come back!

Beautiful older home and surroundings!

This is a beautiful older home so you have to take that into consideration. The steps going upstairs are steep and the bathrooms are small, but I expected both of those. The steps may be a challenge for some. It is beautiful and the extras are all there! Books, DVDs, and plenty of kitchen items. There are bicycles and kayaks with all the gear to go along, picnic tables, and a fire pit next to the water. Unfortunately, we only used the bicycles and kayaks once because we were out site seeing the majority of the time, but you could entertain yourself easily just with everything available. The location is away from a lot of things, but was centrally located for the sites we were looking to visit. We visited Acadia, Bar Harbor, Roosevelt Campobello International Park, West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, Head Harbour Lightstation, Roque Bluffs State Park, Jasper Beach, Sandy River Beach, took the ferry from Campobello to St George and made a loop back through St. Stephen/Calais, as well as visiting other small things. While at the house we saw lots of birds including multiple bald eagles and deer. The ocean breeze is fantastic, and we stayed very cool despite it being July. We were there over the 4th of July and Machias had a great parade with a fireworks show (we missed the parade in Jonesport because it was the weekend before the 4th). I'm sure I've left something out. Communicating with Elizabeth was very easy and she seems like a genuinely nice, caring person.
