Second bedroom - two full beds and one single (full over full bunk bed and twin trundle - note: max weight capacity 200lbs on top bunk). 3. Sitting area—the twin "window seat" nook provides a cozy place to sleep with the best view in the house, perfect for curling up with a book and a cup of tea! Downstairs: 4. The "Fireplace room" doubles as a living room and third bedroom, with two single beds (daybed with trundle) and a double pullout couch. It has a door, providing privacy, and is a favorite place to sleep! Other Spaces: *Kitchen - fully stocked with everything you need to enjoy cooking at home (oils, spices, lobster pots, blender, mixer, pie plates, etc.) * Full bathroom - on the main floor, behind the kitchen. Towels, body wash, and shampoo/conditioner are provided. *Dining - a 4-person breakfast table, a dining table with seating for up to 8, and an outdoor patio table overlooking the bay. *Outdoor - There are multiple ways to unwind and enjoy a true Downeast Maine experience: an Outdoor Solo Stove fire pit, hammock, egg chair swing, outdoor chairs for the upper deck, and kayaks (2 single, 2 double). Kids of all ages can enjoy the game space in the garage, with basketball, a mini pool/table tennis table, darts, and lawn croquet. *Location - The house is near the end of Taunton Bay, with beautiful and dramatic landscapes that change with the tides. While Acadia National Park is a well-known attraction, there are infinite other options to explore within 20 minutes of the house (see area guides). Please note: Unlike other Airbnbs, this home is not just a business but a beloved vacation home. The decor is an eclectic mix of personal items, antiques, and fun trinkets picked up along the way. It is well-stocked with everything you may need for a comfortable "home away from home" stay. It brings me joy to share my beautiful home with others, and I welcome guests who respect and value the special space I have lovingly created. Please reach out with any questions!
