General Overview

The house is closed for the season and will open up in April. Even if the calendar doesn't show availability, send me a message and I'll let you know. If it's open, I'm happy to have you . A sweet little spot in the sleepy town of Brooklin, Maine

The Space

Enjoy a stay in the rustic Rockbound House. Relax, unplug and take in all that Maine has to offer. Located next to the historic Rockbound Chapel with breath taking views of the Eggemoggin Reach. Traditional coastal New England home! The Rockbound House is a rustic cottage originally built in 1900 that had been added on to room by room over the years . Some modern upgrades with lots of features from the original home. Our home has 3 Bedrooms comfortably appointed to be your home away from home. Two staircases, one off of the living room and one off of the side room lead to different wings where the bedrooms are located. There are 2 bathrooms, one on the main floor and one en suite in the master bedroom. The kitchen is equipped with a microwave, coffee pot, stove, oven, refrigerator and all the essential pots, pans and dishes. The dining table is on the 3 season porch. The porch is enclosed with windows and a door which helps with mosquitos but please note it leaks if it's raining hard or long! There is a separate Guest House above the garage that may be available as well. *please see The Carriage house or The Rockbound House plus Carriage house

*edited to add* we have availability for various dates 2026 for Non-Simultaneous or globe exchange. We are looking to exchange for travel during January - April of 2027 mostly looking for in the US as we're taking a road trip and would be driving. Hello we are Wallace and Tara. We currently live in the Maine where we are building our dream homestead in the Downeast. We're new to PLU but long time experienced hosts with our family business DownEast Vacation Homes. We both grew up on Long Island, NY my husband was raised in his grandmother's BNB and I grew up in the back of restaurants, eventually graduating to managing boutique hotels. When we met he was a live in estate manager and I was managing a hotel and we dreamed of one day working for ourselves. We set a 5 year goal and somehow the stars aligned and we purchase the first home in our collection that year. We started the business while working remotely, hoping to move closer to focus on the personal touch we wanted to bring to our business. In just a year the opportunity arose to purchase an iconic motel in Maine it was a true fixer upper but if gave us the push to leave our FT jobs and pursue our dreams together. With a lot of hard work and all the struggles and sacrifice that go into making a business flourish we were able to restore it to the popular destination to what it once was. We ended up selling the motel when another great opportunity knocked to purchase what became, The Narramissic Manor, the most gorgeous piece of land and the spot for our forever home. We have a few houses in Maine that we do rent seasonally but are happy to share when available. Feel free to reach out and chat and let's see if we can make an exchange.
