Guesthouse in Searsport

Escape to a secluded forest guesthouse where rest and renewal come naturally, with the coastline just a short drive away. Enter through a private, gated entrance into a bright, open living space with airy cathedral ceilings. Unwind in a spa-style bathroom with a soaking tub and oversized shower, prepare meals in the full kitchen, and sleep soundly at the end of a quiet, wooded road. A restorative, coastal-forest retreat offering solitude, stillness and easy access to Penobscot Bay. The space After a day exploring the coast, nearby trails, or surrounding villages, return to the Midcoast Forest Getaway where mid‑century modern design blends with warmth and comfort. The well-maintained space includes a calm bedroom with a queen bed and enough closet storage to unpack for a multi-week stay. Rejuvenate in the spa‑inspired bathroom after a brisk afternoon spent on Acadia’s granite shores or beach-combing for shells on nearby Sears Island. Slow your pace in the forest without giving up convenience to Midcoast adventure across the region. After a full day’s activity, settle in for a home-cooked meal prepared in the fully equipped kitchen while listening to vinyl. Stretch out in the open living area or step outside onto your private patio, surrounded by trees and quiet. Ideal for romantic escapes, solo recharge trips, or focused work‑from‑anywhere stays. It’s a smooth transition from adventure to stillness when on an extended stay. Spend your morning responding to work email with high-speed Wi-Fi while the on-site laundry hums in the background.
