Owls Head Village Post Office

A Post Office as a vacation rental? Yes - Absolutely. This spectacular renovated building started as a barn on a nearby island in the 1800's. The downstairs of this historic building has been the working local post office since 1931. Upstairs, insulated from any noise of a small village meeting place, is the open loft style apartment, with soaring cathedral ceilings. Designed and decorated like a historic Maine cottage. Comfortably furnished, this property is the perfect romantic getaway. A great location, with amenities close by.

The modern, cozy kitchen will support all of your cooking needs. Plenty of inside dining areas, as well as dining al fresco on the deck, right next to the kitchen. The loft and cupola are private retreats for children in your party, just like sleeping in a tree house! The views from the cupola are panoramic, with a peek of the ocean in the distance (seasonally). There's a private deck off the back offering beautiful views of our gardens, where you can eat dinner and watch the sunset. The gardens and expansive lawn, lead to a small pond where you can sit next to the fire pit and roast marshmallows.

Owls Head is a secluded and scenic buoy and lobster pot dotted peninsula, one of Maine's authentic waterfront colonies. Centrally located in midcoast Maine, it is the perfect starting point for day-trip adventures. Rockland is only 5 minutes away and 15 minutes to Camden, both offer great shopping, museums, art galleries and festivals. Next door is the "world's best" general store with "award winning" breakfasts and lunches served daily. Grocery items, soda, and wine available for you to take along on your daily adventures. A five minute walk down the hill takes you to a wharf, where you can buy lobster right off the boat. Only 3 minutes down the road is our favorite (award winning) farm to table restaurant, Primo's. There are so many amazing restaurants and lobster shacks close by.

Turns out, you can get there and almost anywhere from here!

Unique property in great location.
This apartment above Owls Head post office is super cute and nicely decorated. The back yard and garden is amazing. Truly beautiful. The patio overlooking the garden was so nice for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The kitchen was well equipped. We would have given it easily 5 stars if it wasn't for all the dog hair on all the rugs, throw blankets and pillows in the couch.

Excellent Stay❣️
My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing stay at the “Post Office”! It was just as advertised and more! It is so unique, you have to experience it to appreciate it! The Cupalo up top is my newest “Happy Place”❤️. From the birds at the feeders, to the beautiful gardens and the general store next door, you want for nothing. We plan to return‼️ Kris

Beautiful unique property!
We stayed at the post office while we were in Maine for a family event. We loved the uniqueness and beauty of the house and the property. While we didn't have a chance to use the yard it was gorgeous. The location was great, just a few minutes from downtown Rockland and the General Store next door serves delicious breakfast and burgers.we would love to stay here again when we are able to use all the amenities the property offers like the kayaks. The owners were very responsive to inquiries and check in was very easy. We highly recommend this property!

Already missing this place! Beautiful property, and full of character. The cupola is a perfect spot for reading with a cup of coffee. Lovely backyard with gardens and a pond. Close to Rockland and Camden (great restaurants/shopping--don't miss Primo for farm to table dinner) and the Owl's Head General Store right next door for coffee, yummy breakfast sandwiches, chowder, and the famous 7 Napkin Burger.

We stayed in the post office for a week in Maine. The beds are comfortable, the water pressure is good, and the food at the general store next door is awesome! We could have spent a week just at the post office, as lovely as the back yard is! Would absolutely rent again!

Our 3rd stay at the Post Office (and we hope not the last!)
My wife and I spent a week at the Post Office with our Bernese Mountain Dog, Beigli, and enjoyed it even more than our previous stays there, which we also loved. It's hard to imagine a cozier, more comfortable, more cheerful spot to relax, cook delicious meals, and take advantage of the coastal hikes, beaches, and restaurants in the Penobscott Bay area. Highly recommended!

Still love this place
This is our second stay at the post office and we still all adore it. From the teenager who likes having her own loft room to the husband who loves the views and the light from the copula - everyone has their space. The porch is a perfect place for tea and a book and you can’t go hungry with the general store next door. And it’s so easy to get to Camden or Boothbay or Acadia. Being able to kayak around bay was one of the highlights of the trip this time. We didn’t want to leave.

We finally made it!
For several years we have bee trying to vacation in Maine, staying at the Owls Head Post Office. Our week there did not disappoint. What a fun place for us and the children plus our two dachshunds. Every day we discovered something new in the apartment. The bunks in the cupola were a great hit with our granddaughters. The backyard grounds are super as is the deck just off the kitchen. We made use of the General Store next door; the food was great. We are already thinking about a return trip.

Perfect getaway
This is the second year in a row that my husband and I stayed at this charming place. It's so cozy and the gardens are beautiful and serene. I loved drinking my coffee in the crow's nest while watching the sun rise over the gardens. Bonus points for being near the light house and several beaches for sea glass-hunting. The General Store's food can't be beat, but It does get a bit noisy from the customers at the General Store during the day. There were several customers who wandered into the backyard a few times where we were sitting by the fire pit. If you can deal with these minor annoyances, this place is fantastic!
