My husband & I love to rent houses. We found it hard to always check the house rules and see our dogs would be able to come due to weight restrictions, only allowing one, can’t go on the furniture, you name it. We wanted to provide a fun and safe space for dogs and owners to rent! Explore all that Mid-Coast Maine has to offer! This water front property with an in ground pool offers private access and breath taking views of the Penobscot River. This estuary comes from the ocean and flows out with the mornings and in with the afternoons mirroring the oceans tides. Watch the sail boats, jetskis, fishing boats, and the occasional cruise ship pass by while enjoying a morning coffee or afternoon cocktail.
