About this property

Lovely ocean views, hiking & lobster boat lounge

Overlooking Holmes Bay and lovely Long Point nature reserve, the Dock House is a stylish, mini-home connected by a deck and dock to a lobster boat library and lounge. Enjoy sun-filled rooms and mid-century modern decor as well as access to a small beach. Hike some of Maine's best trails (just minutes away) or drive to Acadia, Campobello, Eastport, the Schoodic Peninsula and more. Visit tourist-free coastal towns and go antiquing; buy fresh lobster off the docks, grill on the deck, or dine in-town at renowned Helen's restaurant. The Dock House is great base for exploring Maine's bold coast, countless trails, with day trips to New Brunswick Canada and Acadia National Park.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Rose

Host profile image
Rich and Julie live in Providence, RI. Rich is a graphic designer/teacher and Julie is an architectural lighting designer. While we live in the city, we love to retreat to the Dockhouse to read, relax, enjoy the cottage's ocean views and its proximity to some of Maine's best hiking. We spend every other day taking day trips up and down the coast, eating, antiquing, and exploring the many wonderful working harbors and waterfronts.
