Northport, Maine
Our Carriage House is located on a beautiful stretch of Maine's mid-coast area. Conveniently located between the two towns of Belfast and Camden, the house is set in a very private area, at the end of a mile-long paved, private cul-de-sac drive. Nestled into a wooded ridge at the foot of Jackson Hill, the Carriage House is an ideal vacation home for a family or a couple looking for peaceful, upscale lodgings while exploring coastal Maine.
The house was built in 2004. The main living space is the eat-in kitchen, with cathedral ceilings, a granite and stainless look and modern appliances. As foodies, we focused on the kitchen, with all the expected appliances including a dual fuel range, but also a KitchenAid mixer, a blender, a salad spinner, a wine fridge and an espresso machine. The master bedroom has a queen bed and a twin in a cozy alcove separated by a curtain. An adjoining bathroom has two locking doors, while the second bedroom has two twins. These could be made into bunkbeds if preferred. Larger groups have a 6th guest sleep on a large couch downstairs.
There are three outside decks. A small shaded balcony off the kitchen offers a lovely place to have enjoy morning coffee while viewing the beautiful wooded surroundings, mountains, and distant ocean. The larger front patio has a table and 4 chairs and is good for enjoying the woodland scenery, relaxing or sunbathing. The back patio is the perfect place for outside grilling, sunning, or reading.
All the upstairs rooms have window screens and ceiling fans, and supplemental air conditioning is available, though the home stays pretty cool built into the hillside in our cool climate. We are members of our local community solar energy project, which provides the electricity.
The neighborhood is a quiet and natural setting. Many of our neighbors enjoy walking the mile-long road for exercise and fresh air. Come and check out our cottage in Mid-Coast Maine!
I found Vrbo process for messaging our host impossible. I was sent a code which was said to be incorrect. After numerous attempts I gave up. Fortunately our host lived nearby and met us in person nice man and nice place
We have stayed here before, and found it to be pleasing, quiet, and well-maintained.
We really enjoyed our stay at the carriage house! Nice location close to a few different towns and very quiet at night. Kitchen was well stocked and plenty of towels and linens.
The property worked fine for us but may be difficult for more guests given just 1 bathroom. The house needs some maintenance but we were not bothered by it. The house location is private and quiet. We enjoyed the balcony. Would have loved a firepit or hottub (especially after big hikes)! The kitchen was adequately appointed which allowed us to cook at the house comfortably. The bedding was comfortable. The price point was appropriate.
Very cooperative host—helpful, communicative. Very nice property. Short term cleaning was good—floors, carpets, sinks, tub, toilet, counters, furniture, fridge and stove were all clean. Cleaning supplies were more than adequate.
Great base location for seeing the mid-coast region, whether it be Camden, Belfast, Lincolnville or Bar Harbor. Not for someone looking to be in the middle of town. Enjoyed a few meals listening to the rustling leaves, singing birds and soft maritime breezes. Clean and comfortable.
Great location. Everything you need for a wonderful relaxing vacation.
Very good.
We really enjoyed the peacefulness of Joseph's place. It was a few miles outside all the hustle and bustle of Camden, but close enough to enjoy all the wonderful restaurants and walk the town. Great home base to explore the Maine coast or just hang up and relax. Thank you Joseph for your hospitality!
What a beautiful spot.
