Depending on the time of year, there is a dock at the base of the stairs. There is a fire pit in the back yard. Note that, when the dock is not in the water, you cannot reach the tidal flats below. For enjoying the water, we recommend two other nearby areas, as well as Popham Beach. Note: The dock sits on sand flats at low tide and is not suitable for tying up your boat. We have nearby recommendations if you plan to bring your boat, canoe, kayaks, etc. There are also very stiff currents just off our dock, so we do not recommend launching kayaks or swimming in the river here. There is a proper kayak launch just 5 minutes up the road with much safer conditions. Due to liability, we do not provide bicycles or kayaks for guests to use. IMPORTANT NOTES Air Conditioning Please note that the Lodge has central air conditioning and the Bunkhouse has window air conditioning units. The air conditioning system in the Main House is outdated and requires extensive renovation to the house to replace it. Accordingly, you should assume that there is no air conditioning in the Main House. Choose your bedrooms accordingly. All bedrooms have standing fans. Pool Heating Pool is not heated, but can be; jacuzzi is heated in all seasons. Unheated pool is typically 60 degrees or lower. To heat the pool during the daytime (up to 78 degrees) and maintain it, guests pay $750/stay directly to owner. Heating the pool is optional and is available from June 1 - September 30. Pets Dogs, not cats, are permitted in our home.
