Gehen Sie von der Hütte durch die terrassierten Lavendelgärten zum Meer.

I grew up in Massachusetts and lived in Louisiana for many years. After many years away from New England and missing the seasons, I wandered back up to the coast of Maine.
One of my greatest joys was my daughter and her family moving from Louisiana to Maine! I have enjoyed living in Maine and the property has provided many opportunities to host family events.
I am excited to share this wonderful retreat with others.

Lavender by the Sea was originally a camp for fishing and kayaking.
After I purchased it we excavated everything to the exterior walls to make way for a
new plumbing, electric and insulation. The camp was transformed into a charming cottage.
The cottage rests close to the water at the end of Penobscot River just as it opens into the Bay. A large lavender garden terraced down to the sea lies in sight from your windows. Depending on the weather, expect lavender in bloom in early to mid-July. You will find sea lavender on the shore mid-August. Enjoy the Gazebo for breakfast, lunch or drinks at sunset. There is a horseshoe pit available and if you are experienced, kayaking in the summer. A snowy winter will afford you the opportunity of cross country skiing or snow shoeing.
Eight miles away is Bucksport, a mill-town that is entering a new and exciting era. Enjoy the brothers' brew at the Friars Brewhouse Tap Room in town. Tucked away you will find a great bistro, Verona Wine and Design run by Michael and Charlene. Great hosts with excellent food, music many summer nights and wine tastings. You will find natives and tourists gathered around Wahl's Dairy Port. As you head out of Bucksport stop at Carrier's Mainly Lobster - BJ will treat you right!
Acadia National Park is only 35 miles from the Cottage... and if you desire the hustle and bustle of a touristy destination - Bar Harbor is mere minutes from Acadia Park. Visiting both would make a great day trip.
Blue Hill, a small art community, offers unique shopping and wonderful hiking.
Don't forget Castine home of Maine Maritime Academy - it wakes up during the summer and should be explored!

The views from Lavender on the Sea are breath-taking.
The ambiances are both invigorating and tranquil. The property is home to deer, wild turkey, a red fox, eagles, loons and birds of all kinds.
There won't be a massive humming air-conditioner, instead cool breezes will keep you comfortable and looking for a sweater in the evening.
