"Tranquility Base" is a place where you can lose yourself in the beauty, peace, and quiet of nature as land, sea and sky meet on rugged midcoast Maine. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS ONE WINDOW AIR CONDITIONER, because very few people on the peninsula have central ac since the water surrounding us greatly moderates the temperature. On those few days when it does get hot, in addition to the window ac unit, we have fans that will help pull the cooler ocean air through the apartment. Mountains beckon on the horizon from your apartment windows, as saltwater laps against giant granite boulders. Summery mountain breezes carry the scent of pine trees and tangy salt air through your window. Nearby lighthouses, museums, antique shops, restaurants, and a range of gourmet to simple general stores entice you. Numerous parks and trails offer opportunities for exploration and exercise, including our own one-mile circle loop through the woods and by the water. Your guest apartment is located just outside the picturesque town of Tenants Harbor. It’s 20 minutes from Rockland, and 30 minutes to Camden. The Portland and Acadia National Parks are each a one hour and 30 minute drive. Canada is only three hours to the north. The Port Clyde General Store, where you can get Lobster Benedict for breakfast, is a brief, beautiful, five minute drive. Kayak rentals can be had there too. The East Wind Inn is close by and offers a delicious lobster dinner. Among the many lighthouses is the famous Marshall Point Light, backdrop in the movie "Forrest Gump." Don't miss the best swordfish and local oysters in the world at the award winning "Primo" Restaurant just 20 minutes away. The area has an epicurean feast of great places to dine.
The apartment is a modern second story walk-up with a full bath, two bedrooms, one with a very comfortable queen size mattress and the other with two twins, a full size antique slate top pool table, an efficiency kitchen with a large microwave and a large convection toaster oven and other small appliances as well as a washer and dryer and full size stainless steel refrigerator with ice and water in the door. Free internet and satellite TV.
It is located on the banks of the salt water St. George River, with lobster traps and boats right out back. Across the salt water river is the Olson Homestead, site of the Andrew Wyeth painting "Christina's World", and a museum of his paintings is in nearby Rockland. Bring your hiking gear, and camera with plenty of storage for pictures, and an appetite for fresh Maine cuisine.
In the apartment you will find notebooks with information on local dining, shopping, hiking, boating, museums.
Kayak rentals nearby. Swimming and fishing in the salt water right behind the house are possible. See details that can be found at the end of the amenities section of this listing.
Here is a short list of fun activities that happen nearby every year, which you may want to plan for!

Great rural spot
We enjoyed our stay in the woods! While it was “in the sticks,” Tenant’s Harbor was such a charming town and the loft we stayed in had a good view of the water! It was a simple check in/ out process, clean, and we had a great time.

Lovely stay
We really enjoyed staying at Tranquillity Base. The apartment is right on the water and exactly as advertised. The apartment was super clean and our host very responsive. The location is ideal, very close to Camden, Rockport and Rockland. We would love to visit again!

Tranquility as Promised
We enjoyed our stay. The unit was very private and it was wonderful to wake up with a view of the water. Lots of birds and we even saw a dolphin or porpoise one morning right off shore. The location is great for exploring Tenant’s Harbor, Camden, Lincolnville and Rockport. It was fun playing pool at night and we were able to use the Netflix already set up for movies which was great because I’m always forgetting my passwords! We hope to have the opportunity to visit again!

Perfect getaway
Property was exactly as described. It was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Bed was clean and comfortable. As advertised, the property is an apartment over the garage of an attached house. The owners were onsite and opened the garage door a couple of times. Not a problem at all, and we had complete privacy otherwise, but if you are looking for total seclusion you may find this to be a negative.

Memorial Weekend 2023
The area was amazing ! The loft was perfect very quiet and cozy! We would love to stay again if it is available! The only recommendation we would make is to place safety stickers in the shower. The floor in the tub was very dangerously slippery.Just a thought to help prevent any guest injuries! We would definitely recommend this site for future visits. Thank you so much! Definitely a five star rating!!

Very private and serene!
We stayed for three nights while visiting family. The beds were very comfortable, the place was well appointed, and it was very clean! It also has a great view of the water, which comes up almost to the back of the loft building! Having a pool table made for fun times! It does not have a stove/oven, but it does have a toaster oven and two induction tabletop cookers, which we used to make a pasta dinner for my family one night. One thing that could make it even better, would be a small deck/porch type sitting area off the living area, so you don’t have to go downstairs to sit. We don’t often require lodging in the area but we will certainly consider staying here again if we do. Thanks for the lovely experience!

Great View Maine
The Apartment was very fresh and in very clean shape. Very private area, not many folks around, at least late Sept. Fabulous view of a Maine bay, couple of boats in the bay, and just awesome watching the tide roll in and out. Great prices on lobster in the area, not far from a ton of great sights. Property manager did an excellent job with us. No stove, but a couple of induction burners that worked just fine with us as well as no dishwasher, but again - no problem. Well supplied with necessities. Internet and tv worked just fine for us.

Relaxing and on the water
The house was comfortable. The location is 1mike down a dirt road and the house is right on the water. Very quiet and relaxing. We watched the tides coming and going. Lovely. The pool table was fun The internet worked pretty well. We did stream some movies. We had our kayaks but it was too deep to put in at the house. There’s plenty of places we found to kayak nearby. The bed was comfortable. There is no stove But it worked out fine using the gas grill and the hot plate, microwave and toaster oven. Stephane was helpful and responded quickly. Overall we highly recommend tranquility place

I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Stunning setting. A true slice of Maine coast. Private unpaved road leads up to the property. Adirondack chairs overlook the rocky cove. We saw a wild mink, kingfisher and great blue heron very close to us. Comfy recliners in the apartment give you a spectacular view. Host was very helpful

Relaxing stay on the water
We loved our stay! The sunsets were so beautiful and we loved eating at the picnic table overlooking the water. I also loved waking up early and drinking coffee while reading and watching the tide come in and out. The internet was fast and reliable for me to work and stream video. And they had an outdoor outlet next to the garage for slow ev car charging.

A view into nature
Herons, loon, kingfisher, and multiple visits by a bald eagle , all from the living room window. Excellent hostess who goes far above what would be expected. Only ruff part of our stay would be the road to house. I now know where potholes go to die. Upside is that it keeps the speed of the limited traffic that travels the road very slow.

Wonderful Stay
If it wouldn't have looked bad, I would have given "accuracy of listing" four stars instead of five. Because this place was even better than the listing. The chairs looking out at the water (inside and out), the sense of peaceful isolation even though it is so close to town, a massive bathroom, comfortable bed, sparkling clean everywhere. We also had a blast playing pool , though we played very badly! The stairs up are steep and open; our little dogs were not fond of that part. Closing those steps would take this to an even higher level. Thank you for a marvelous stay!

Nice place to relax outside on the river
Pretty skies and sunrises. Good ventilation. Small kitchen and needs a better pot for boiling pasta. Cotton sheets and blankets, which should be a given but often isn’t. Dog friendly. Need to be comfortable climbing stairs as is a second floor walk up. Easy access. Very clean. Generally well-appointed. Quiet neighborhood on gravel road that is good for walking.

Lives Up To Its Name
Tranquility Base is a peaceful, quiet, lovely spot. Even on hot days, the cottage stayed cool thanks to lots of open windows and salt-scented breezes off the St George River. View and sunsets were spectacular. Beds and furniture are comfortable. If you rent this property you should know it doesn't have a stove or oven. Cooking is accomplished with two plug-in induction burners (plus a microwave and toaster oven). They work fine, but limit what kind of meals you can create. Stephanie, the property manager, was responsive and great to work with. Overall we enjoyed our time here and would recommend it to anyone wanting to get away from it all.

Love St. George Area!
We enjoyed our stay however, we were very concerned about a second egress for safety reasons. Overall, it was a nice apartment to stay in. Beautiful kitchen/refrig/wash dryer with lots of supplies. Bathroom was beautiful but would have preferred curtains on the windows. Beds/pillows very comfortable and spacious closets. The apartment was semi clean/some dirt under beds and under rug with dog hairs. Disappointed that dock/water was not available or that we couldn't access the land shown in pictures. Was expecting a BBQ but it's a fire pit instead and too large to carry from under stairs and I wouldn't cook food on it. Enjoyed ferry to Monhegan Island to hike, Puffin and Nature Cruise and Castle Island Preserve. Wine tasting at Savage Winery, The Causeway Restaurant, Owls Head Transportation Museum!!
