LIVING AREAS

Built in 1807, this warm and welcoming home promises an unforgettable vacation experience in historic New England.

The sun-drenched living room has the ambiance of a parlor. Settle in with a book, watch a film on the 40” TV, or pen a postcard at the writing desk. A sofa and two chairs offer plenty of seating for your group to relax.

KITCHEN & DINING

Cook up a storm in the huge eat-in kitchen. Butcher block countertops, an industrial stainless steel sink, and an array of cookware and gadgets make meal prep simple.

When it's time to eat, gather around the wood dining table for eight.

The spacious master bedroom has a four-poster full-size bed, and the twin-size second bedroom is accessible through the hallway and the master bedroom.

A cozy queen-size bed awaits in the third bedroom, and the bright shared bathroom is equipped with a tub/shower combination.

OUTDOOR AREAS

Enjoy a cup of tea on the covered back porch, where there's a cafe table for two overlooking the lush gardens.

EXTRA AMENITIES

THE LOCATION

Wiscasset Village is a foodie's delight. Red's Eats is famous for its classic American fare right around the corner, and Little Village Bistro serves up creative dishes with an Italian kick in .6 miles. Don't miss a quintessential lobster roll at Sprague's, a waterfront eatery 4 blocks from your door.

Quick weekend in Maine

Beautiful old houses and fun to stay in the back apartment of the museum. Sad we missed the tour opportunity (ended three days before we checked in). We would stay there again.

Wonderful Weekend

Great location. Comfortable sleeping arrangements and good eating/living spaces. It was fun having breakfast and coffee outside in the garden, but the place could use a little more outdoor furniture.

Amazing House with Great History

My husband, myself, and our one year old son were able to stay here for a weekend getaway. It was absolutely perfect, beautiful rooms, historical. It was clean upon arrival and had everything we needed. I LOVE that the funds from renting out this space goes toward the preservation of the overall house. A great idea! We would absolutely stay here again!

Lovely unique historic home with lots of charm!

I loved the uneven floors and antiques! The shades were nice as they kept out the morning sun perfectly. Taking the tour of the house was informative and you got to see what is on the "other side" of the door!

Unique experience in 200 year old house

Enjoyed our stay and especially the private tour by Tori. She was super knowledgeable about the house and families that lived in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed her tour through the museum part of the house. One negative on the house- the 3rd bedroom is attached to 2nd bedroom and the bathroom and there is no fan in the bathroom - an exhaust fan would improve this greatly.

Beautiful historic home in an idyllic setting

A beautiful place to stay! We really enjoyed the tour of the museum and learning the history of the town and the families that occupied the house and the area through the years. Wiscasset is (and the surrounding area) is the perfect place to spend a vacation - surrounded by natural beauty, abundant history, and friendly people.

Very nice!

The house was nice and in a great location. A little loud in the AM since it is on the main road. Housekeeping and property management were on top of things. Just like the add said.
