Tucked into the woods of Round Pond, one of Maine's most beloved working harbor villages, The Round Pond Getaway at Moxie Cove is your base for the best of Midcoast Maine. Walk five minutes to the water, spend evenings around the fire pit, and wake up to nothing but birdsong on the screened porch. Pemaquid Lighthouse, fresh lobster at Muscongus Bay, and the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens are all within easy reach.

The space
The house is bright and thoughtfully stocked. There are windows on three sides of the living room, a fully updated kitchen with all new appliances, and enough space for a group of six to be together or find their own corner. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Downstairs, the screened porch opens to a big yard perfect for badminton, frisbee, and wiffle ball, and one genuinely great fire pit. We've had this house in our family since 2003 and we take care of it like it.

You'll find it spotless, well-stocked, and full of little extras you didn't know you needed. We also leave a little welcome basket stocked with pasta, sauce, snacks, and a few surprises to get your stay off to a great start.

Guest access
The only things that are off limits are the basement and fireplace.

Other things to note
Round Pond is a small, quiet village which is exactly the point. It's not a party destination, and we ask that guests respect the peaceful nature of the neighborhood and keep noise levels considerate after 10pm.

The house has one exterior security camera pointed at the driveway, for the safety of the property. There are no cameras inside.

Parking for up to 3 cars in the driveway.

Born in the 70s
Where I went to school: School of the Museum of Fine Arts
I am a graphic designer and I live in Cambridge, MA with my husband and 2 kids. I have been visiting the coast of Maine since I was an infant and much of my family lives nearby and visits frequently. We've had this wonderful house in our family since 2003 and when we aren't there, we want to open it up for you to enjoy as well!
