About this property

Heart of Village:Ship-Inspired 'Below Deck' Escape

Quietside Quarterdeck is spread across two thoughtfully separated wings, giving multi-generational families and groups the breathing room they need while keeping the shared spaces at the heart of the home. The main floor is bright and open, designed for gathering, shared meals, and soaking up the village atmosphere through large windows.

The interior strikes a balance between character and comfort with maritime antiques and curated nautical details that sit alongside quality finishes that make the home as functional as it is memorable. Head downstairs and the atmosphere shifts entirely, with the Below Deck entertainment level transporting you into the hull of a classic tall ship, mermaid figureheads and all.

LIVING AND ENTERTAINING
The main living area provides a stylish and comfortable space to relax, framed by massive timber beams and large windows that bring in the village light. It is a great spot to hang out, relax and plan the day's hike over coffee.

For a change of pace, the Below Deck lounge gives you a second living area for movie nights or gaming, complete with a nautical theme that kids and adults alike will love! The upper level is equipped with a 32” Smart TV, while Below Desk features a 65” Smart TV with surround sound. There is free Wi-Fi for streaming, so everyone has their own space to unwind.

KITCHEN AND DINING
The full sized, chef ready kitchen comes exceptionally well provisioned with all the appliances and utensils to allow for effortless meal preparation. Stocked with essential spices, oils, quality cookware and a dedicated drip coffee setup, the space is ready for everything from quick trail breakfasts to delicious Maine seafood feasts.

The main interior dining table seats six comfortably, as well as bar seating in the kitchen and the secondary dining area in the Below Deck lounge. This flexible setup is perfect for shared family dinners, a casual lobster spread, or a boardgame night after a day exploring Acadia.

BEDROOMS AND BATHROOM
The bedrooms are spread across the different wings of the home to give everyone a sense of privacy. The primary suite on the main floor features rustic beams and a king bed, while the second guest room also offers a king bed. The third bedroom is a dedicated bunk room with a twin over full and a twin over twin setup, making it a practical choice for children.

There are two full bathrooms on the main level and a convenient half bath located in the lower ship themed wing. Each bathroom is stocked with fresh towels and essential amenities like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash so you don’t have to bring a thing.
A washer and dryer are also available in the home, making it easy to pack light and stay as long as you like.

OUTDOOR SPACES
The private rear patio is a tucked away retreat from the village buzz, featuring a gas grill and alfresco seating for outdoor meals. It is an intimate space where you can relax and unwind, which makes it all the more peaceful and private after a day on the trails.

Off the primary bedroom, a small private balcony provides a quiet vantage point for a morning coffee before the village wakes up, and for families, the local school playground and ball fields are directly across the street giving you a handy bonus for kids who need to burn off some energy before dinner.
