The Nest - one bed apartment

A quiet, peaceful apartment perfectly located to explore Mid Coast Maine. Just outside of the town of Searsport and 10 minutes from Belfast (voted best small town in Maine). 30 minutes from Camden and an hour from Acadia National Park. Our own Moose Point State Park is 1/2 a mile away from the apartment and you can rent kayaks at the campground just across the road.
Searsport has wonderful local restaurants (some with live music), our own micro-brewery. and a nearby lobster pound (restaurant) overlooking Belfast Harbor. The town is also home to a fascinating marine museum!
PLEASE NOTE: The Nest is a second-floor apartment accessed by a flight of outdoor stairs. It is not suitable for young children or those with mobility issues.

Awesome Maine getaway!

This cute apartment right on the main coastal highway is in a great location (6 miles from Belfast, ~20 miles from Camden, etc) for exploring all Maine has to offer. The size is perfect for one or two people to be very comfortable in a "home away from home." For longer stays (I stayed 2 weeks), there is a laundromat about 5 miles away that is large, clean and very efficient.

convenient location

the apartment was quaint, but it could have been cleaner. Lots of dead insects and debris. The bed was a full, not a queen and left a lot to be desired. There was dog debris in the entranceway that was unpleasant. Perhaps it was too early in the season for an equipped apartment.

Perfect getaway

This place is the perfect spot to be centrally located to everything we wanted to do/see. Loved staying here. It had everything and more that we needed. Each day we ventured out with our pups to explore the areas and came back to a place of complete rest and relaxation. We even enjoyed sitting in the lawn chairs and watching the traffic go by. Yes! Go get some lobster from a local place up the road and make your own lobster rolls and even breakfast. Yummmmmm. Can't wait till we are able to stay again. Thank you so much for your beautiful and comfortable place to stay.

Nice Maine stay

A nice place, with a comfortable bed. Lots of stairs but we had no problem with them. Do wish there had been some sugar.coffee for the 1st day or two. Nice kitchen. It doe get very dark and finding the driveway was tough, solar lights or reflective signs could be very helpful. Nice location, pleasant stay.

Maine Trip

Was a decent place - the refrigerator wasn’t on when we got there and didn’t realize it until the morning and we had done a lot of shopping. Kitchen wasn’t very well stocked compared to other places we stayed. There was no book recommending restaurants or other things to do in the area. Encountered a few roaches. Still would recommend.

Perfect place for us!

We enjoyed our stay in this small but very functional apartment. There are quite a few stairs inorder to enter which was no problem for us however, someone with mobility issues should avoid. Great location on Route 1 along the midcoast. Nice trails across the road for our dog which go to the ocean. Thank you!! Would stay again.

Attic perfect size for 1 or 2 persons. Equipped perfectly. I am older so probably won't stay in attic again, hard on knees especially when carrying things. One thing to suggest is possibly having screen door so you can let in more sunshine, fresh air and to see more of outside from apt. Just me!

Love this place!

We love this cozy place. It’s close to Moose State Park, where we enjoyed the privacy and beauty of Maine. We love that it’s midway between Bar Harbor and Portland, thereby allowing us to travel to both north and south of Maine without too much distance. The place is pet-friendly and we love how responsive Mike and Brenda (our hosts) are. Will definitely recommend this place!
