High Point Apartment at the Historic Hen House

This entire fourth floor of the Hen House is large and open, with an unrivaled, gorgeous view of Blue Hill Bay in the front, sky lights on one side and large windows overlooking a pond in the back bedroom area. There is a front and rear entrance, and access to pretty gardens. There is a dining/kitchen area. No small children allowed. The Hen House is close to downtown Blue Hill with all its restaurants, galleries, wonderful library and other amenities. Acadia National Park is an hour away. The space This apartment has the highest and most prominent views of Blue Hill Bay and Long Island (across the bay) in this area. There is a bright back bedroom and office area, a very large central sitting/TV area and a front kitchen/dining area with notable “medieval” furniture. It’s a great place for writers, artists or others wanting to be above the crowd- with great views and quiet spaces. But it’s on the fourth floor- a garret and not for everyone. It’s also largely open space with little privacy. Yet it’s the favorite place in this historic structure for many people. There are several beds in the large living room. Roku tv works. Minimal heating as the weather gets colder. Not recommended after mid October. Guest access Guests have plenty of space on the fourth floor but there are also front and side gardens with outdoor sitting areas (and umbrellas) that have a water view - as well as a back pond area (with a small island) now being restored. Other things to note Generally we are looking for guests to stay 3-7 nights in this apartment. It’s a great retreat to write, paint or detox from the wider world. And good exercise climbing the stairs.
