Slow Down & Go Back in Time-Relax Completely in Our Maine Home

Sunny and bright, loads of light! Come and enjoy our clean, comfortable home away from home!

Our cedar-shaked, one-floor home welcomes you with vibrant flowerboxes and several flower beds on an acre in beautiful Maine. The two bedrooms (one with a double bed, one with twin beds) are complimented by the large sunny family room (with two queen futons) which leads to a private flagstone patio through French doors. The queen sofa bed in the living room is also available for sleeping. There is one full bathroom with bathtub; the shower has great water pressure to wash away your beach day's sand! Washer/dryer on are on site; there is an outdoor clothesline for drying beach towels and suits.

The home is well-suited for gatherings of your family and friends--settle by the indoor fireplace or relax around the outdoor fire pit for an evening campfire. The open-concept, fully equipped kitchen with bay window and the dining area are easily accessible to the large sunny deck via sliders and doors. The gently sloping lawn supports a large area for children to play safely nearby. Our large library of books allows you to read and relax whether you are out on the deck, down at the Point, or sitting on the beach! Our collection of DownEast magazines may help you plan your Maine adventures and excursions during your stay. And for those rainy days, there are many games and puzzles!

Famous Pemaquid Point Lighthouse lies just south down the road (2.5 miles) and the white sands of Pemaquid Beach are 1 mile east. We are located in the village of New Harbor with a quaint, fully-stocked grocery store, gas station, hardware/fishing gear store, ice cream stand, Maine artists' galleries & craft shops, and a bank/ATM all within walking distance from the house. New Harbor is central to all Midcoast Maine cities and towns--Freeport to Camden are within an hour of travel time. The twin cities of Damariscotta/Newcastle are the closest 'big' towns to our home.

Water sports (kayaking/canoeing, sailing, swimming (ocean, lake, river swimming 'hole'), fine restaurants, birding, Hardy Boat Tours (including Monhegan Island and the Maine coast), hiking, shopping/antiquing are all within several miles of our home. The Botanical Gardens in Boothbay are a must see! For children, there are many activities: beach fun, tide pool explorations, hands-on activities at the local Colonial Pemaquid Museum and the Boothbay Harbor Aquarium to name a few.

I enjoyed my stay over Thanksgiving weekend at Martha's New Harbor, Maine home. It's charming with lots of attractive features. My favorite was the fireplace in the living room which I used all three nights. Thanks, Keith

An immaculate well appointed cottage that was an absolute delight. Close to everything, including Colonial Pemaquid, Pemaquid Beach and the lighthouse.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. It was clean, comfortable and cozy. Plenty of room for us and out pooch. Great location, close to Pemaquid Point and the 1812Farm where we attended the wedding of my nephew on Sunday. I would definitely book again, and recommend as a great place to stay.

This is my 3rd time staying at this lovely place. Everything is beautifully clean and well maintained. Check in is seamless. I have never seen a kitchen so well equipped. you can literally cook anything here! The location is within walking or a few minutes driving distance to all the attractions on the peninsula. I am so looking forward to returning!

We stayed here for two nights. Location is perfect for the Bristol, New Harbor, Pemaquid area. We appreciated that the house was dog friendly so we could bring our pets. One thing to note is the layout of the house, its all one long row, and the bedroom with the full size bed is located such that people need to pass through it to get from the front door to the rest of the house. Overall we enjoyed our stay here.

Great location, walkable to (non chain) grocery sore with a surprisingly substantial selection of items as well as a nearby local craft shop. Cottage was clean, homey and much larger than we anticipated. We had an enjoyable time seeing the area sights, all in all a great stay.

Returned for our second stay after our initial rental last year. This is a clean, comfortable home with character. The location makes for a short drive to the lighthouse (and a short walk to the ice cream stand). The homeowner is friendly and responsive - really easy to deal with!

This was our first time staying here and in Bristol and we were totally charmed. We love the proximity to the beach, beautiful preserves, and to the local grocery store. The home was spacious, well appointed, and very comfortable for my mom, my husband and myself. Thank you so much for the wonderful visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here in New Harbor. The quiet and solitude of that area was great, and early morning runs to Pemaquid Beach and down to the lighthouse - wonderful! Also close enough to Damariscotta and other towns was perfect. Thank you! The house itself- quiet, very clean, with everything we wanted.

Martha was an amazing and generous hostess. My dogs and I were moving from Texas to Maine which involved MANY different stops and living arrangements while waiting for our forever home. Martha made the whole process so much easier and was incredibly supportive in oh so many ways. I was not only taken care of, I made a new friend!

The house is comfortably furnished and decorated with enough personalized touches to set it apart from the cookie cutter look of many hotels/motels. It's surprisingly long, front to back, so people can gather together or enjoy alone time. The homeowner is friendly and responds quickly to all inquiries. The location is just 2.5 miles from Pemaquid Point lighthouse, and less than half that distance (in the opposite direction) to a small, collection of stores (food market, ice cream stand, gas station. Both the home and the area are highly recommended!

Our family of five was very glad to have the opportunity to discover Maine from this wonderfully homey place. We had a comfortable stay, and really appreciated bedding and towels were provided, the kitchen was fully equipped, and there was plenty of entertainment in form of games, books and local magazines, and a TV. The place felt clean without feeling sterile, and private without being cold. This location also affords to not be completely dependent on a car, which is a quite a rare thing, as one can shop for groceries, get ice cream, visit the craft co-op on foot, and, if inclined to walk for a longer time, we found it was possible to reach the New Harbor ferry that way as well. Our stay was short, so we were able to keep our days full and sample a little bit of everything without having to go far. We had a great time and are very grateful to Martha for this home away from home!

The house is in a great location. The circular driveway made for easy access. It's much larger inside than it looks in photos, plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen is very well outfitted. Leaving the guests paper goods to get started was a nice touch. We often travel with pets, so we've certainly stayed in not as nice places (accidents happen, we get it, that's why we diaper our senior boy just in case - he's 16), but with the pet and cleaning fees, I was not expecting to see old stains on some rugs. I AM grateful that there are homes that welcome pets, sometimes it's a necessity not a choice. A very pleasant time was had by all. Thank you Martha
