Located in the heart of the Wiscasset Village, you're walking distance from an array of boutique shops and antique galleries. Stroll to Treats for gourmet food and freshly baked goods in 1 minute.

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.

The Nickels-Sortwell House makes for a great base to explore all of Midcoast Maine. Boothbay Harbor is 15 minutes away, Bath awaits in 10, and Rockland is 30 minutes away. The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens offer enchantment in 13 miles, and picturesque Popham Beach State Park is 40 minutes southwest.

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.
