Schoodic Home Near Acadia: Outdoor Tub, Kayaks, Fire Pit, EV, Pets Welcome | House in Gouldsboro
2 Bedroom House in Gouldsboro
Welcome to the quiet side. Settle in on the Schoodic Peninsula and share Maine with locals, not cruise ships. Our home sits on 2 wooded acres in Gouldsboro, 20 minutes from the mainland portion of Acadia National Park and the Schoodic Loop Road. Grab a book, an Allagash White, and relax in the outdoor soaking tub. A short walk down the drive to the Jones Pond trail brings you to two shoreline kayaks and 467 acres of clear quiet water. If your Maine bucket list includes blueberry pancakes and asking Alexa how to steam a lobster, my husband and I built this for you.
THE HOME
Yes, this place IS tiny. Compact and cozy was the goal for our design. The Mainelander might be small but it's got everything you need to make your stay feel like home. The kitchen is stocked — range, fridge, dishes, farm sink, Keurig, French press for the coffee snob— I mean connoisseurs. All joking aside, there is no vacation without good coffee, so grab some pods or some grinds and you'll be set. A two-seater table faces the window to the front of the property, and when the weather is clear, there's not much better than an evening breeze and a couple fresh lobsters at the picnic table. There's a pot on the shelf if you want the whole experience, but the local sellers like Chipman's Wharf or The Lobstore will steam them up for you as well. The living room is cozy with a comfy couch and an electric fireplace. Yes, I have too many books, but can there really ever be too many? Curl up with whatever calls to you from the shelves, or if pages aren't your thing, the Wi-Fi is fast, the TV is smart, and whoever said enjoying nature means roughing it must not have had a favorite comfort show. Splitting your attention between Hulu and the deer that make regular appearances out the living room window is a pretty great way to wind down and decompress. There are two sleeping areas — one is accessed via ship's ladder, the other a narrow stairway. There is limited headspace above both beds. I know you're still thinking about the deer and the lobsters and catching up on your TBR, but it is important to us that our guests understand that this is a tiny home and that means some places are easy to bump your head, and some taller guests might not be as comfortable in certain areas. If you've stayed in a tiny house before you know the drill. If you haven't, take a look at the photos — we want you to enjoy your stay. We love our place, we want you to love it too, but it won't be for everyone. The bathroom has a normal-sized tile shower, a euro-style sink, and a full-sized toilet. Pets are family. They are welcome here. No breed or size restrictions. We just ask they stay off the beds and the couch — it's hard, we know, we have pets too.
OUTSIDE IS WHERE IT SHINES
Most guests find that while they enjoy the cottage-vibed interior, the outside is the real draw. The clawfoot soaking tub has a hot water spigot and is truly a unique experience. With string lights above, the space is covered and private, and can be used day or night, rain or shine. Prop up a chair by the stone fire pit and enjoy an evening full of all the best parts about camping without the tent. Taking in a sky full of stars without light pollution is something everyone should experience at least once in their lives. If you have a clear night, don't forget to look up — it's not something a photo can capture. There's a lot up here that photos can't capture.
