For chilly nights there is a wood stove in the main room . There is also a public ramp and dock on the Back River (perfect for kayaking) approximately 1 mile away. The house was built in 1913 as a guest lodge for Doggett Castle and much of the old-world charm of the house remains.
The property is just a short ride to Booth Bay Harbor, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Popham Beach State Park, Robinhood, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Oven's Mouth preserve, Bath and many more of Maines popular attractions and some of Maines best Lobster restaurants. There are also many hiking and biking trails in the area.
Please be aware that the house sits on top of hill requiring climbing a long staircase (see picture) and it is not handicap accessible. Also the kitchen is typical of a 1950s kitchen (no dishwasher and the appliances are not stainless steel, ok the gas stove is stainless steel, sorry about that).

Summary: The home is perfect for families. The porch steps are steep and it is a pleasure to be out on the porch with screen doors open so toddlers might be a problem. Otherwise our family with 7 yr old triplets and an infant, had a blast! Remember it is an old home, with a lot of charm and history. It is not a 5 star luxury hotel. With that said, it is much larger than pics portray and extemely comfortable with all the amenities you need for a great Maine vacation! We enjoyed 2 weeks of fun and solitude. Does that make sense? The island has some great hiking trails and dont miss Daphne’s pies at the beginning of Dogget! Anne, Al and Heather were very considerate and replied to any concerns immediately. Thank you all for your hospitality and sharing of this wonderful place.
