Description of the Brooksville vacation cabin rental

This fully renovated two-story camp on the edge of the water has a new kitchen and bathroom. Skylights in the gambrel roof give excellent water views. Walk along the rocky ocean shore, which is just a few steps away down a wooden stairway. Explore the Bagaduce River by kayak with its many coves and islands. Play badminton in the yard or just sit on the fully screened porch and listen to the call of loons as you enjoy our ever-changing sunsets. A selection of games, books and puzzles are provided for a rainy day, and a supply of dry wood is provided for the woodstove to create a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Reviews for this vacation cabin rental in Brooksville, Maine

Relaxing and quiet, July 17, 2008

By Brian Hasselbalch (Gaithersburg, MD, USA)

Our small family (dog, too) had a great time at the cottage... kayaking was great in either direction of the Bagaduce (better when we followed the tide) and the screened porch gave us a view of the nice sunsets. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Maine.
