The secluded waterfront retreat sits just 20 feet from the lake alongside it is a carriage house also built around 1905. The four season (winterized) tranquil home sees its share of wildlife. The well appointed, six bedroom, three bath vacation home is in an ideal location. We call it Whispering Pines. The wooded 76 acres of tall, old growth pines and broad oaks is laced with hiking trails leading to private vistas. The property abuts 4,500 acres of conservation land. Mooring provided for your own boat. Whispering Pines is located just a few miles from access to the world class sailing waters of Penobscot Bay, historic Bucksports marina and shopping, less than 30 miles from I-95 and Bangor International Airport. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are a scenic drive, only 30 miles away. Cozy stone fireplaces for the cool autumn nights Fully equipped kitchen: refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and microwave Washer and dryer 76 acres with a private bridge and long driveway that winds down to the house. Over 3500’ of lake frontage Dual pain windows Spacious living area Amazing view from every room Hiking trails The woods, animals, and lake are the property’s only neighbor.
The garage and apartment are for the owner or caretaker unless otherwise agreed up. We heavily discount our weekly rate since we prefer to rent from Saturday to Saturday. We charge 50 dollars per guest for each guest over 8. We can accommodate 15 guests and possibly more for certain events. The property is also listed on Craigslist. Go to Maine vacation rentals. I'd prefer to deal directly with potential guests. It’s also less expensive. We love the outdoors, wildlife and seeing people have fun. I have enjoyed hosting vacation rental customers since 2005.
