**Newly opened weeks in September and October. ***

Forget the commercialism and congestion of the Cape, Martha's Vineyard or even Coastal Southern Maine. This property located right in Maine’s Mid Coast, situated perfectly between Portland (approximately an hour to the South) and Bar Harbor (Acadia National Park) to the north, and near beautiful Boothbay and Camden.

The property sits atop 3 expansive and private acres of land on a hill sloping down to the Atlantic Ocean, and consists of two separate living spaces;
First, --a lovely classic 3 Bedroom Maine cape style home (built in 1998) and second, a detached 2 bedroom 'Boat House' for additional living, sleeping and recreation.

The main house has a crisp, bright, open concept post and beam layout, with a kitchen island, spacious dining area, and living room. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms (queen beds) and the lower level has a movie theater, games and large ultra-comfortable seating with a walk-out to the lower deck & hot tub.

Two spacious decks face the ocean, the upper with lounge patio seating area and grill, the lower deck with a patio seating area and Hot Springs Spa. There are 2 bathrooms in the main house and 1 in the guest space.

The Boat House is an extraordinary structure, originally designed to build and store commercial lobster boats, in which a large, spacious section has been renovated into a 2 bedroom, 1 bath space.

The Boat House has vaulted high ceilings, granite stone tile flooring, and sleeps 4 comfortably (two bedrooms- queen beds). The Boat House is ideal for the kids or extended family. It includes a seating area and smart HDTV. The front of the barn has a bonus space with kids play equipment for use.

The property comes equipped with kayaks
(2 single kayaks, a three person canoe-kayak hybrid, three 2-seater open kayaks)
along with life jackets and paddles.

The kayaking routes are literally some of the best in the world, and you can explore dozens of pristine islands and shore-for swimming , sunbathing, picnicking and hiking.

Relax in the 5- person salt-water spa overlooking the ocean or enjoy movies in the home theater complete with a large movie screen.

You can eat fresh lobster caught and cooked daily at the neighborhood lobster cooperative (Broad Cove Marine) about a two hundred yard walk down the hill from the house. After dinner, enjoy the firepit in the yard for roasting marshmallows and sitting around the fire.

Damariscotta, with its famous harbor, restaurants and quaint shopping, and Hannaford's shopping center, is only 10-15 minutes from the house.

Pemaquid Point Beach, is one of Maine's most gorgeous sandy beaches and home to the most photographed lighthouse in the world. Pemaquid Point Light, is about 20 minutes from the house.

The ferry to spectacular Monhegan Island leaves daily from New Harbor and Port Clyde about 20 to 30 minutes from the house, respectively; and the popular towns of Camden and Boothbay Harbor are each about 20-30 miles away.

The house includes a fully equipped kitchen, linens, towels and supplies, wireless internet, outdoor furniture and grill, DVD player, a BOSE sound station and 3 smart LCD HD TVs with Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc... built in for watching movies.

Annual 3-Gen family gathering
Wonderful time spent in mid-coast Maine at the Bremen House. Bonnie is a fabulous host, providing everything needed for a spectacular time. House accommodated our 7 adults, two children perfectly well with the boat house. The hot tub and kayaks were used on a daily basis. The spacious layout gave us time together, yet time apart when desired. The two hammocks were great spots to enjoy morning coffee and afternoon reads. The fire pit provided a spot for nighttime gatherings. The location of The Bremen House couldn’t be better. Just walk down the street for fresh lobstah, oysters, clams and scallops at the BYO Broad Cove Marine. Also convenient to a wide variety of shops in Damariscotta and Waldoboro. Permaquid Point is also a great place to visit. We took a one-day trip to Acadia and got back before dark. Plenty of local hiking trails around the area. No need to look any further than The Bremen House if it has the number of bedrooms you need.

A great fall getaway!
We stayed with friends for a week while we check edin on our home renovation happening nearby -- it was the perfect spot not only as a home base but for some rest and relaxation at the same time. Beautiful views and sunrises, lobster fresh off the dock down the road, great kitchen for cooking in the off-season, comfortable bedrooms and space for us to read and relax. Lovely walks up and down the road with views of working harbor and islands beyond. Highly recommend!

Restored, Renewed, Refreshed
Bonnie's oceanfront home is beyond amazing. Completely surround in natural beauty and the view from the master bedroom is stunning. Each morning brought a different view; crystal clear bright sun, moody fog, still calm rain - all of which were amazing. The home was exactly as the post describes and more. The kitchen is very well appointed. The bedrooms are comfortable and light-filled. It was a perfect getaway location for us with Damariscotta only a 17 minutes car ride into town. The boat house is very nicely decorated and comfortable. Our family came into visit for a few days and loved staying there. I cannot say enough good things about this home. It's exceptional and we miss staying there already. Thank you, Bonnie, for everything.

Wonderful Property
Bonnie’s house was a welcoming port in a storm. Very clean, comfortable, great views, and a theatre in the basement. Everything is provided to get off the map for a while, while still being 15-20 min from Damariscotta for amenities. Very happy with my booking and prompt correspondence with the owner.

Kayaks, hot tub, hammock, dog friendly, beautiful land on nice deadend road
There are three bedrooms in the main house and also two double beds (semi-private) in the boat house with a living space, mini fridge and shower as well. The third bedroom is pretty small. We stayed with six people (three couples) and it was great! The kitchen was the only negative-stove and outdoor grill was kinda old and too many pans were made of scratched up Teflon. But it is truly beautiful and so relaxing. And there’s a movie watching room to relax in!

Fabulous Waterfront Home
We could not of wished for a better place to spend our first vacation since Covid. The house was just what we wanted. Great location, and beautiful waterfront view. The house was spacious and beautifully decorated. Our host, Bonnie, was everything a good host could be. I would rate this as one of the best places we have stayed in our travels over the last 30 years. Would go there again in a heart beat.

A perfect place to be during this very challenging time
We're from the Chicago area and had the opportunity to extend our stay in Maine this past few weeks (my husband is a traveling nurse/trainer and works in field and remotely). We chose the Bremen House for our stay. For me and our family, to spend this time together in a peaceful, beautiful quiet area and home was such a blessing and lifted our spirits. The house sits on top of 3 beautiful private acres that slopes down to the harbor with natural paths and landscape to the pier and float- beautiful trees, song birds, and a half acre of raspberries, which I wish we could have stayed to see bloom this season. The kayaks are family-style and every morning we got up and took a little paddle around the harbor together- so picturesque- The lobster boats and the lovely fishing community surrounding the harbor - we took amazing photos. The kids loved the kayaking. We were able to paddle to Hog Island on one of the days and do a little bit of exploring on the back side via an incredible woods trail that winds along the ocean in a pristine virgin forest. We've never seen anything like it and won't forget it. Although we didn't sleep in the boat house., The back has a living area, two bedrooms, bath and big screen TV in a open vaulted space with an interesting and really nice crisp, open Maine 'antique' boat feel...the front section of the barn has a kids size pool table and foos ball, a great 'hang out' bonus spot. The main house has super-comfy bedrooms, two living areas, the lower level includes a theater screen for streaming movies- and you walk straight out onto the lower deck with a seating area and AWESOME hot tub- we spent every evening in it with a glass of wine after the kids were in bed. Morning were spent lounging on the upper deck watching the view- and a great place for some sun. We had some AMAZING lobster dinners- a few at Broad Cove marine next door- and then went to the co-op down the road and got live lobsters to go- cooked them here and had old fashioned lobster dinners. Could not get enough. Community shelfish is up the street- the local clams are to die for! Site- seeing, drives and we were able to have a few outdoor dining experiences as the state is beginning to open. Our hostess Bonnie is from Maine and was able to give us all kinds of local options for things to do and was available for anything. This home and surrounding area was just what we needed. We will definitely be back next year.

Amazing Time at the Bremen House
This was a wonderful place to have our annual family vacation. There was so much to see we felt like we needed two weeks instead of one! We kayaked to the small islands nearby with a picnic lunch, blankets and sunbathed ans swam all day. We ate TONS of fresh Maine lobster, had a campfire and smores every night. There was plenty of space and activities for us to enjoy! We will definitely come again!

Dan was a terrific host and very accommodating. He answered all of our questions quickly and thoughtfully. We really liked all of the small touches throughout the house and boat house, such as an abundance of kitchenware, extra towels, a hammock overlooking the water, jigsaw puzzles and games, and a binder with local tips. The kayak we used was in great condition, and going out on the water was a highlight of our trip. There were even wild berries to pick along the pathway down to the dock. Thanks for a great week!

The Way Life Should Be!
Great, large house located about 20 minutes outside of Bristol (check out La Verna Preserve and Pemaquid Beach), and 30 outside of Boothbay Harbor. This is a great, LARGE home, with 3 extra beds in the boat house. Would be a great spot for a big reunion. House and boat house were SUPER CLEAN, large, comfortable, well equipped, and in great condition. We loved that it was remote, nestled in the trees, with little views of the bay. A quick 30 step walk down to the dock, and the water is right there. Kayaks were ready to go on the dock, and water was calm and peaceful. Dan was very helpful too. He us me a great packet ahead of time of where to eat, what to do, and who to get our lobsters from! Would definitely come again!

My family picked this place for a reunion, it has everything we needed for an adventure away. We kayaked in the bay, hung out in the cabin, the location was perfect for hiking or to get to Portland. Wouldn't change a thing! The owner was super helpful with scheduling, great with communication.
