Mehr zu dieser Unterkunft

Post and Beam aktualisiert Bauernhausstil, Chebeague Island, ME

Chebeague Island ist relativ einfach zu erreichen und liegt in der Nähe von Portland, Maines größter Stadt.

Nach zwei Jahren kehrten wir mit einem neuen (im Jahr 2015 gebauten), energieeffizienten, offenen Pfosten-Riegel-Haus an diesen Standort zurück, das wir auf begrenzter Basis an Familien vermieten. Wir haben in unseren Gebühren zwei rückzahlbare Kaution für die Reinigung und Sicherheit enthalten. Die auf der Seite nicht viel zu unserer Bestürzung beschriftet sind.

Fragen Sie nach unserem Inselauto. Nehmen Sie unsere Drachen zum Strand. Die Erkundung dieser Insel und der vielen Strände ist eine Grundvoraussetzung.

Gehen Sie von dieser abgelegenen Unterkunft zum Strand. Dieses Haus befindet sich in einer charmanten Seitenstraße auf einem 4, 5 Hektar großen Grundstück. Es ist mit einer Anspielung auf eine Nachbarschaft von Häusern und Bauernhäusern entworfen. Aber es ist durch und durch modern mit passivem Sonnenschutz (im Sommer Schatten), super isolierten Marvin-Fenstern und französischen Türen. Es wird mit Minispalten (Wärmetauscher) beheizt, die bei Bedarf auch eine Klimaanlage erzeugen. Im Keller befindet sich ein Warmwasserbereiter mit Wärmepumpe. Alle Geräte sind neu, energieeffizient und auf dem neuesten Stand der Technik. Ein Rasen und Garten wurde aus den umliegenden 60 bis 80 'hohen Bäumen geschnitzt, um das Haus zu platzieren.

Wir freuen uns, dieses Haus für Ihren Genuss zu präsentieren. Während das Haus auf zwei Etagen eine Größe von 80 Quadratmetern hat, bieten der offene Raum und die vielen Fenster und deren Anordnung einen Blick in die Außenumgebung und vergrößern das Haus effektiv. Das überdachte Wrap-around-Deck vergrößert den Wohnraum auf weit über 2000 Quadratmeter. Viele unserer Gäste verbringen viel Zeit auf der Veranda mit Lesen oder Entspannen.

Ein großer Eingang begrüßt Sie beim Betreten mit Blick in den gesamten ersten Stock. Die Küche hat einen großen Kühlschrank mit französischen Türen und zwei Schubladen darunter, eine Farmhouse-Spüle und eine Insel mit Sitzgelegenheiten. Wir haben alle Töpfe, Geschirr, Gläser und Besteck, die Sie benötigen, einschließlich eines Hummertopfs und allem, was Sie für ein fantastisches Hummeressen benötigen.

Im zweiten Stock ist das Hauptschlafzimmer mit einem weißen Eisenrolleköniginbett, einem Schrank, einem Büro und Beistelltischen mit Lampen, einem schönen Blumenteppich reizend. Es öffnet sich zu einer Sitzecke. Die Mitte des Hauses ist offen für die Dachbalken. Mit Sitzecke, Schreibtisch und Couch zum ruhigen Lesen. Ebenfalls im zweiten Stock befinden sich zwei Schlafzimmer mit zwei Einzelbetten und ein Bad mit tiefer Badewanne und Handbrause. Genießen Sie die Sommerbrise durch die Baumwipfel, während Sie in unserer Badewanne baden.

Im ersten Stock bietet der 100 Jahre alte Esstisch Platz für sechs. Das "Away" -Zimmer bietet Sitzgelegenheiten und einen großen Schrank mit einem Smart-TV und Spielen. Wir haben Internet für Ihre Bequemlichkeit. Bad im ersten Stock hat ein großes altmodisches Waschbecken und eine gute Größe Dusche, Schrank für Handtücher. In der Nähe befindet sich die Waschmaschine und der Trockner in einer eigenen Ecke.

Gehen Sie durch die französischen Türen des Ess- / Küchenbereichs auf die überdachte Veranda mit Sitzgelegenheiten. Ein Stück weiter gelangen Sie zu einem Picknicktisch mit Sonnenschirm und Grill. Die Veranda eignet sich hervorragend zum Sitzen im Freien, wenn es regnet oder nur im Sommer Schatten.

Grillen Sie draußen auf dem Propanofen und genießen Sie ein leckeres Abendessen auf dem Picknicktisch, während die Sonne im Westen über den Bäumen untergeht. Machen Sie einen Spaziergang durch den Wald oder die Straße hinunter zum Strand. Oder genießen Sie einfach die Vögel, Truthähne und Hirsche, die in den Hof kommen. Wir haben Krocket und Drachen für Ihren Genuss.

Chebeague hat zwei Fährverbindungen, eine im Besitz der Inselbewohner, Souvenirläden, ein Lebensmittelgeschäft auf der Insel, eine Bibliothek und viele Orte zum Mittag- oder Abendessen mit Aussicht. Nehmen Sie eines Tages ein Mittagessen im Gasthaus auf der Veranda ein. Sie werden es nicht bereuen. Im Sommer ist viel los. Wir bieten Segelkurse für Kinder, Schauspielunterricht und ein vor Ort produziertes Sommerspiel, Golfkliniken, eine großartige Bibliothek mit Geschichtenstunde, Wanderungen nach Deer Point oder an einen Strand.

Es ist nur ein Katzensprung zum Festland, um in Portland Sehenswürdigkeiten zu besichtigen oder zu Abend zu essen. Portland ist eine der großartigsten Feinschmecker-Städte im Nordosten, während das Ambiente einer alten Stadt in Neuengland erhalten bleibt. Auch die Museen und Geschäfte sind hervorragend. Ein Tagesausflug in die Stadt lohnt sich.

Patricia was easy to contact and she responded quickly . Her home is beautiful and stocked with everything you should need. We were at the island for a family wedding, so we didn’t spend much time at the home but when we did it was cozy and comfortable. Thank you Patricia

Beautiful modernized home with all the comforts on a wonderful island. So much to do on the island that we didn’t come close to exploring all the spots with just one week. The hosts were very attentive and the house was immaculate. Will definitely be back next year!

Beautiful home
Patricia was very responsive whenever I sent her a text. She was also there to help us arrive and leave, a necessity considering how busy the dock area is and the lack of rental cars on the island. The house itself has plenty of rooms and beds. The AC was amazing when we used it. The yard around the house was well maintained and the kids loved exploring the area. Biking all over the island wasn't difficult, but the car that was available was much appreciated! There's a lot to be said for how amazing the island is, bit Patricia's guide included a lot of information on all that's available. Thanks for having us!

Perfect family reunion
The house and island were beautiful. Patricia and Roman were wonderful hosts who made arrival and departure a breeze, and we're very responsive and accommodating. The island is easy to navigate and the beaches are all unique, and kid friendly with small waves, gentle entries, and plenty of seashells, hermit crabs and snails. My kids (2 and 3) loved exploring, digging, and splashing. If you have young kids definitely bring strollers. The use of the island car was a wonderful bonus for making it easy to reach all corners of the island with the entire family.

Fabulous, comfy home on an amazing island!
We had just a 4-day get-away, but it was absolutely spectacular! Pat's home is gorgeous - warm and comfy - with everything you need to have a relaxing stay! Pat and Roman were super kind and accommodating. They made sure we had a ride from the ferry and use of the car, and Pat provided lots of details regarding the house, where to dine, etc. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Solitude in nature
Patricia has created an oasis for peace and serenity. The house is designed with love. Every part of area of her home offers comfort. We loved sitting around the massive kitchen island, sipping tea and coffee, planning our next island adventure. The island offers a plethora of charming coves, picturesque vistas and pure nature. We saw turkeys, deer and water fowl. Waldo Point was our fav spot to sun on the rocks. This is a magical spot!

Wonderful stay at Woodlands House!
Our September week at Woodlands House provided luxury and simplicity. The home was beautifully furnished and very well stocked for cooking, reading and relaxing. We enjoyed reading and eating on the wide covered porch. The location mid-way on the island allowed for walking to beaches on both ends of the island, and a short walk to the Island Market and Library. Took one trip to main land and one trip to Cliff Island. Our adult daughter, mom and brother all loved our visit! Patricia and Roman are wonderful hosts. We would love to return.

Beach, people, weather, food, island life -- PERFECT!
We had an island car which was very useful for transporting goods and for exploring remoter areas. We had a baby with us so long walks were less fun for her! The house was nicely located near hotel, golf, tennis. Our favorite beach turned out to be at the opposite end of the island -- just a 5 minute car ride away!. Could not find bikes to rent which was too bad. Highly recommend Chebeague. House was lovely. Read three books, cooked a mountain of food! Everyone was so friendly and helpful -- luggage, boats, rides. All good!

Beautiful Home with great amenities.
We enjoyed staying in Pat’s beautiful home. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the pots, pans, and utensils we could have needed. It was nice to have the option of air conditioning as we were there during one of the hottest weeks. Having the car was an awesome bonus! Pat does have a number of rules to follow while in the house but that is what keeps her home so beautiful.

Beautiful house! Close to everything.
I was recently married on Chebeague Island. My family stayed in the house and we used it for all the Bridesmaids to get ready the morning of. It was perfect. It's open and airy, nicely decorated. The backyard is big and has a grill. The owners allowed us to use their car and even delivered it to us at the ferry. They were also responsive and easy to deal with. Highly recommend!

A Comfortable Home and a Relaxing Island Visit.
Our gracious host met us at the ferry dock, took us and all our gear to her home, then showed us around and explained how everything worked. The house was modern and quite comfortable for our extended family of six (four adults and two young children). the guest book prepared by the owner told us all about the island and its features, and we took advantage of most of them. We prepared several meals at the house (including lobster!) but also took advantage of dining at the Inn, the Slow Bell, and the Niblic. Several hours were spent relaxing on the porch while the children examined and counted their seashells and the adults read and conversed. Everyone enjoyed our stay and finished the week very relaxed.

Sophisticated, Secluded with Access!
We spent 6 days at The Woodlands. The house is lovely - great modern convenience with eclectic decor. Excellent kitchen to cook in with options to eat in and outdoors. Patricia was very hospitable - she even picked us up from the ferry! READ her the letter she sends before your trip, it is full of information!!! We enjoyed what Chebeague had to offer - Indian point beach is a must! We dined at Slow Bell and The Chebeague in (plus cocktails on the patio one night). Doughty's had every thing we needed to compliment our shopping trips to Portland. Few must do while visiting Chebeague - Contact Chebeague Water Taxi and do the lobster experience. We were able to board a lobster boat, observe the process and take home FRESH lobsters from the sea. Visit Eagle Island and Jewell Island for some history, a cool hike and amazing tidal pools. The Dolphin was a fun restaurant to take a water taxi and have dinner. Finally, Portland has amazing food both restaurants and fresh catch to cook back at the Woodlands. We will be back to Casco Bay!

Woodlands House Chebeague Island
We found Patricia's house to be very clean and comfortable for our week on Chebeague Island. We especially enjoyed the wrap-around porch where we spent a good portion or our time. The woodland setting gave us the sense of being secluded even though the house is a short distance from the road. We were on the island for our son's wedding. Since the wedding venue was at the other end of the island we appreciated having the option to use the 'island car' Patricia made available to us. We were easily able to get to the various beaches and sites and all of the wedding festivities throughout the week. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us Patricia.

Wonderful Post and Beam Home
The home was pristine and well appointed in a quiet rural area of Chebeague Island. Thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the deer and wild turkeys pass by. Spent most of the time when home outside when weather permitted. Walked everywhere but it was a bit of a trek as much as I enjoy walking. Went to the Inn most days Ebb and Thyme had great sandwiches. Enjoyed the people on the island - most friendly and welcoming. Would recommend a car to make it easier to get to different parts of the island.

Relaxing get away
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Chebeague Island. The house was comfortable and well stocked. We brought clothes and some food with us and the house had everything else we needed. The island is a great place to explore on foot or bike. Use of a vehicle during our stay was just a luxury. For the days we didn't feel like exploring, the house was a perfect place to relax. Patrica was wonderful to work with. She was always responsive to any questions and kindly checked in by email to see if there was anything we needed. If you're looking for a home base to explore the island or just relax, I would highly recommend this house.

Serene vacation in efficient, post and beam home
Our first stay on Chebeague Island was motivated by the opportunity to stay in this wonderful property, newly built to the specifications of its very pleasant and accommodating owner, Patricia Festino. The home is exceptionally well equipped and appointed, all within the solid charm of post and beam construction. The quiet surroundings were a delight for us, especially from the vantage point of the ample porch. Through the canopy and lateral spaces of the lightly wooded lot, which is not far from the east shore of the island, we witnessed and enjoyed much of the changing island weather. This feature alone, made our stay quite special. Overall, it is hard to rank the many pluses that this vacation rental has to offer. We are looking forward to returning as often as we can. Thank you, Patricia and Roman for a terrific stay!

Beautiful, off the beaten path retreat
We (a family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 boys 5 & 8) stayed here in late August. We knew very little about Chebeague Island before embarking on our adventure. But we managed to figure things out with the help of the owner, the internet and speaking to locals on the island. There was a simplicity to Chebeague that welcomed us with open arms. We had fun walking the beaches, searching for sea glass, swimming at the community pool, driving around the island, eating at the Inn, Slow Bell Cafe, and breakfast at the Niblic. Everyone we encountered was warm and friendly. The house was gorgeous and well appointed. It had everything we needed and more. We felt very cozy - playing in the yard, sitting on the porch, playing games in the living room, cooking in the kitchen... I loved the decor and modern conveniences of brand new everything (appliances, washer dryer, bathrooms). Chebeague is a magical place. It was certainly for us. But one word of caution, if you're reading this wondering about the "night life" on Chebeauge, or looking to party, then perhaps this little island isn't for you. It's slower here. Be prepared to slow down, unwind, take time. A funny side note, there was a garage/store on the island and there was a painted sign outside that said "if you don't have 20 minutes then don't stop". I think that adequately sums up Chebeague. If you don't have time to take the time then this might not be the place for you. But if you are looking to mellow out and be off the grid for a few days then definitely consider this place. You won't regret it. Thank you to Patricia Festino, the owner, for sharing her beautiful place with us.

A great family vacation at the Woodlands Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully designed, spacious and open post and beam farmhouse cottage on Chebeague Island. This was our first stay at the cottage but it won't be our last! The cottage is slightly tucked away from the road giving you privacy but still an easy bike or car ride to many of the wonderful places the island has to offer. The house was very comfortable for our family of four. With two young children it was great to have all the modern kitchen amenities and the new finishings but with an old farmhouse style. The house is amazingly energy efficient. We had a couple very hot days, so it was great to have central air even though we only had to keep it on to cool the house and then we would turn it off and the house would stay cool for the remainder of the day. The house also has very good internet and cell phone service for the island, a nice plus! Patricia was a fantastic host. Always reachable by phone or text with any questions. We look forward to our next visit.

Bild für Gastgeberprofil
Experienced five star hosts return with a new home. Patricia and Roman.

Roman has joined me here and has been an experienced charter yacht captain. He is a valuable team mate. We have sailed many miles together.

This is my second home on Chebeague Island. The first was a renovation of an 1855 foreclosure which was throughly renovated, walls moved and strengthened. It was sold (although not listed for sale) a few years later. What I really wanted was a home of my own design, passive solar and energy efficient. This home is the result of my wishes and meets those requirements.

I am from Maine but had been away for fifteen years. I came back to Maine in 2010 when I found a house on Chebeague that suited my taste and was in foreclosure. The house I found on Chebeague I named "House on the Hill" a historic family home and was in dire need of renovation including supporting the house from the basement up, heating system, new plumbing and walls moved at the top of the lists.

I had lived on my boat for five years and sailed back and forth from Maine to the Caribbean. I found that my parents needed me in Florida so I took down my sails and stopped in Florida where I spent ten years.

After spending so many years in the tropics my heart's desire was to have a super insulated home and be near my family. I had the family part solved as I had raised my children close to Chebeague in Maine.

So while I was happy to have and dearly loved my last home I sold it and started to look for property to build my next home.

I didn't want to leave Chebeague which is a very special place to live and looked at every property that was listed or even rumored for sale. I was not sure that I wanted to live on this side of the island but when we turned down Carter's Point and I saw the wonderful homes close to the site, I lost my heart.

After designing or renovating and building five houses I had found a wonderful place to build my home which I now offer to share with you.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

One of the many special things about Chebeague is the people, friendly and caring. We have wonderful neighbors.

The island has a lot to offer, two ferry services, the elegant Inn, library, top rated schools and recreation center with pool, tennis, golf, island grocery, Historical Society, the many beaches surrounding the island, easy access to seafood if you fish. Fishing for mackerel, squid or stripers as the season provides. Second Wind Farm organic produce. Lobsters delivered to your door. Local organic eggs are also available. Wonderful walking or biking, birding or photography.

In the summer there are several places to enjoy lunch with beautiful views, gift shops, even the transfer station is a special island experience.

Two ferry services offer easy access to the mainland and Portland, the largest city in Maine. From Portland fly, bus or train to any destination in the world.

A very special place to build my home.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

I designed this home myself with some valuable input from Raoul Hennin of Montsweg Brook Corporation. When I walked down the road I realized how beautiful this old neighborhood is. The trees, the homes, the wildflowers and ferns on the side of the road. A lovely short walk downhill will lead you to water in either of two different directions. A wonderful spot for my next home. Families on Chebeague have been here through generations. The family I bought my first house from had built it in 1855. They are still here. Even the summer people have been coming to the island for generations and most own historic summer homes here over generations.

This new house is completely modern post and beam with state of the art energy efficient appliances, passive solar, covered porch and designed with a nod to the surrounding homes which are New England farmhouse or Island Cottage style. It is furnished with a mix of antiques and modern furniture. Colors are muted and lend a warm comforting ambience to the rooms.

The property has a mature beech grove on the east side of the house. There is forested wetlands including streams to the west. Many interesting plants and animals live here. If you stand in a special spot on the property there is a water view.

My children kayak over in the summer to visit. We have offered a four person golf cart for transportation in the past. The island has many golf carts in the summer.

The house has views of slightly different types of forest from every spot you stand or bathe. The covered wrap around porch is inviting in all kinds of weather. The house is climate controlled. A walk in the woods or down the hill erases all stress.
