Other things to note Our setting is rural and very close to Schoodic Park, coastal views and activities. The area has bike and kayak rentals, villages with lobster shacks and small shops, gas stations/convenience stores, and farm stands within a few miles. If you need something from a bigger city, it's just 25 miles away. We're only about one mile from one of the loveliest sand beaches on the coast of Maine.

If you're looking for night life, just turn off the lights and look outside--the fireflies can be dazzling! Or you might get lucky and see the Great Horned Owl swoop down from his perch on a nearby tree.
