Pet-friendly Bucksport gem with hot tub! One hour to Acadia NP! Sleeps 8! | House in Bucksport

Sunny comfort & charm, centrally located in the village of Bucksport on a quiet, dead-end street. Surrounded by gardens blooming all summer and peaceful in the colder months. Private back deck with hot tub, small fenced in back yard!
One hour to Camden, Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, & Acadia National Park, 30 minutes or less to Bangor, Belfast, Blue Hill, Castine, & Ellsworth. Lakes nearby for close water access, too!
Pets allowed with an additional $150 pet fee.
Where you’ll stay: From the front door entry, enter into an open floor plan on the first floor, with dining room and a piano. New dining room table, with one leaf to expand, 4 new chairs, and bench seat. The piano bench or 4 folding chairs seat extra. The dining room also contains the 'craft cabinet', with art supplies and more!
Just past the dining room, a large kitchen includes a island with gas cook top, wall oven, large fridge/freezer with water dispenser (ice maker doesn't always work, ice trays provided), microwave, and dishwasher - with everything needed to cook a great meal (drip coffee maker, toaster, pots and pans, spices, etc).
One step down from the kitchen, the large sun filled living room is bright and open, with cathedral ceilings, bluetooth stereo system, record player (with a surprisingly large collection of vintage country albums!), books for adults and kids, board games, and flatscreen TV for streaming (no cable service). Entry to the back deck is from the living room.
2 smaller bedrooms on the first floor, each with a Double bed, share a small bathroom with shower stall - built in potty seat for small kiddos! One is more kid oriented, with a bean bag chair for lounging. Laundry and cleaning supplies located in mudroom off the kitchen.
UPSTAIRS: Primary bedroom with King bed, window A/C unit, electric desk for sitting or standing for remote work (great WiFi!), and en-suite bathroom with separate shower stall and soaking tub (jets do not function on this tub). Graco Pack and Play with bassinet, mattress, and sheets located in closet. The second large upstairs bedroom offers a Queen bed, window A/C unit, with sitting area (small Twin sofa bed best for children) and TV for streaming. All four bedrooms have their own closets and ceiling fans.
A/C located only in the living room (wall unit) and 2 upstairs bedrooms (window units). Radiant Floor heat on 1st and 2nd floor keeps the whole house cozy during chilly weather, plus the split level pump warms the living room.
Off the living room, enjoy the large deck with privacy walls, propane grill, and built-in hot tub that seats 4-6 comfortably. A small fully fenced back yard space allows freedom for your pets or children to play. Past the fenced area is the veggie garden and open back yard which backs up to a wooded area. Cornhole game for the backyard, too! Even though we’re right in town, you’ll find lots of birds visiting - and may catch sight of the local Ospreys as they love fishing in the river and bay just down the hill. Look for their nest by the bridge as you're leaving Verona Island! We have also visits from deer, fox, skunks, raccoons, and have resident chipmunks. We are a pollinator friendly property, and practice organic methods, with no use of pesticides or fertilizers. Because of this, with the gardens, bees and other bugs are common during warmer months.
Off street parking for 3-4 cars. If you don't feel like adventuring to other areas, Bucksport's Main street is a 15 minute walk away, where you can access the pretty Waterfront Walkway with views of Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows Bridge. The Miles Lane trail system is also very close by for walking or trail running. A grocery store and pharmacy are close, as well as several restaurants and fast food places. Check out the local happenings - there are sometimes events happening in town, including movies at the sweet little Alamo Theater in town. The Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust's "Wildlands" in Orland offers trails for hiking and biking (10 minute drive). Our favorite swimming spot is the Craig Pond beach, 15 minutes away.
Garage and basement not for tenant use. There is one exterior camera located on the garage, pointed towards the driveway and not monitored during your stay. You're welcome to enjoy the gardens during the season, picking a bouquet of whatever is blooming - look for herbs for cooking!
For winter bookings - Ice, snow, and bad weather are a part of Maine winters, and sometimes last well into April and early May. We’re understanding if travel plans need to change due to storms. Being close to town, power outages do sometimes occur, but usually is restored quickly, although it isn’t always the case. We will leave a couple snow shovels for your use as well as salted sand. We keep up on shoveling the driveway and walkways, but ice is a part of coastal Maine during the winter and we may not be able to have someone available DURING a storm to shovel. Being close to the main road (which is well maintained), it’s not hard to get a car out of the driveway, but if we get a lot of snow you may need to shovel a bit!
