Downeast Bungalow (#44127)

Description of the Jonesport vacation home rental

This is a historic, very well cared for and fully restored bungalow, one block from the ocean. Jonesport is a working fishing village on the northern coast of Downeast Maine. The home features original wide plank spruce and thin plank birch wood floors throughout. There are original artistic pressed tin walls and ceilings in the kitchen and family room. Only three families including the current owner took residence here since the Oppenshaw family built it in 1900. Renovations took place in the 1990 to update electric, plumbing, windows, cedar shingles, roof, septic system, furnace, and new mudroom with storage. Restored to its original character and charm, the 1100 square foot living space includes three bedrooms, full basement with a washer and dryer, large open kitchen, living room and a bathroom with a claw-foot tub, enclosed shower and marble sink. The bungalow sits on a maintained 1/3-acre lawn with perennial garden.

Vast hiking areas, blueberry fields, white sandy beach and great downeast scenery. A quiet place of inspiration perfect for a retreat from the daily grind. This location is noted for journaling and artistic reflection, as many have used the undeveloped natural backdrop as a springboard for painting and book writing.

 Just what we needed!, August 24, 2009

By Hayley Winnay (Shelburne, Vermont)

This is a beautifully renovated, clean and simple vacation home, away from it all. If you want to visit one of the last unspoiled coastlines in the US, this is a great place to go. The owner has taken great pride in his home and you will be comfortable, warm and relaxed. We were thrilled to hear no phones ringing, have no cable TV (just DVD's) and to live the simple life for a week - we didn't want to leave! Thanks for a great vacation.
