Harbor tour can be arranged at an additional cost.

The space
The Boathouse is like nothing you've ever seen. A 120 year old boathouse turned into a cozy, warm & vista filled space that you'll never want to leave! We do have a mooring if you wish to boat in, we request you do bring your own dingy & other transportation to get you around the island.

Guest access
We have 11 acres and lots of beach front access. We like to make sure you enjoy all of the nature on our property but do request you stay off the main house's grounds & avoid disturbing the guests next door.

Other things to note
Please plan accordingly as you MUST take a ferry to get to our property. We recommend booking a reservation with your ferry ride over to ensure your desired arrival time! If you arrive later in the day, please be sure to bring provisions with you, the island has 2 markets, both close by 6pm! I do not charge an additional cleaning fee, so please keep that in mind when you leave.

Lives in Islesboro, Maine
As a guest in my boathouse you will be 5 steps to Gilkey Harbor and my dock. You can watch unbelievable sunsets over the Camden Hills - sip wine by the fire -eat locally caught lobster or crab, and have a chance to catch up on peace and quiet, and maybe regain some lost time....... If I had a life motto it would read -Try to be the person your dog thinks you are!
