Come enjoy this coastal Maine retreat called the Laughton House! This charming, historic home is perfect for your family getaway, friends gathering, or private retreat while you explore all the area has to offer such as Pemaquid Beach and Fort William Henry just a short walk away. Inside this vacation home, you'll have a well-equipped kitchen, large dining area, and a bright sunny living area with TV. Outside there are upper and lower balconies for chilling and a picnic table for outdoor dining.
Pemaquid Beach Village is a wonderfully quaint village on the water. You will feel like you have stepped back to a time when things moved at a slower and lighter pace. The beautiful Pemaquid Beach is just across the road from the cottage and has a fantastic food shack called Mimi's on the Beach (open during the summer) - the fish tacos are delicious! There is also a small and serene beach close by on Fish Point Road if you want a more quiet spot.
Kayaks can be rented down the road at Maine Kayak for a beautiful day of exploring the coastline by water, topped off with a short stroll down to the Contented Sole restaurant for an exquisite evening meal while you watch the sun go down. There are so many other spots close by to explore - learn about the siege of Pemaquid at Fort William Henry, take in the beauty of Pemaquid Lighthouse, take a hike out to the ocean through La Verna Preserve and cool off with a dip in the Bristol Dam Swimming Hole. Oh and the local grocer C.E. Reilly & Sons has nearly everything you could possibly need.
