Camden Cottage Details
A Comfortable, Peaceful Setting : River's Edge is a retreat for the artist, writer & poet in you--a cozy vacation home on the Megunticook River with views of lovely Mount Battie. To your left, up river, is a dam that forms Lake Megunticook. About two miles down river is another dam, the Seabright, which creates this most peaceful section of river for your enjoyment. You will find it perfect for swimming, floating, kayaking, canoeing, fishing or sunning on its banks. It is a rare quiet spot without the motor boats, water skiing or jet skis you may like to enjoy on the Lake, which are accessible just around the corner. River's Edge has a dock, shared with friendly neighbor, on the beautiful river & nearly 500' of shoreline. Half the property is woodsy. Ceiling and floor fans, monitor & electric heaters. Weekly maid service is provided. You may request more frequent maid service for an extra charge. Grocery provisioning in advance or mid-week. Babysitting available. Well behaved PETS are welcome.
An Artist's Well-loved Cabin : River's Edge was built in 1970 as a family summer place, situated on land that was once a pasture serving the farm house which still stands across the street. Sheep grazed here, an apple orchard bloomed & a small barn stood near the road. When the cottage was built, the old barn's original wide pine siding was used inside the living room. The cottage is comfortable & relaxing. Now white-washed, the antique barn board brightens the central living area. High ceilings throughout make it light & airy. River’s Edge is owned & maintained by an artist & her energetic handy man. The home is well equipped for the comfort of up to 4 adults. You will find 2 bedrooms, one with a queen-size bed, another with a twin set. The bathroom has a tub, shower, plenty of hot water & fluffy towels. The kitchen is roomy & all set with everything you need for cooking up a storm, including a large, vintage, restored refrigerator, new gas range & oven & new microwave. There is a large gas grill just outside.
There is a large color TV, with all the digital cable channels & DVD player. There are several shops in Camden which rent current & classic videos. The sectional sofa was added in 2006—not yet in the photos and is all ready & comfortable for afternoon napping. Or, you could nod off on a lounge chair down on the floating dock. River's Edge is a place to be close to nature. Summer in Camden, Maine: The wildflowers have a timing and cycle all their own. Lupine are followed by Day Lilies, Queen Anne's Lace, then Daisies in many varieties, Black eyed Susans, Goldenrod, and many more which you can have fun identifying. There are a couple of wildflower references at the house; enjoy and use them on your walks. The wildflowers attract droves of butterflies and hummingbirds. You'll see Swallowtail and Monarch, as well as others more exotic and rare.
Ski: They compete with you for the wild black berries which are abundant just outside the kitchen door and beyond. So do get out there and pick when they are ripe and enjoy some for yourselves. The sounds you hear at night in the early summer are a chorus of Loons and Bull Frogs. Endearing Autumn at River's Edge: As summer draws to a close you'll begin seeing Canadian Geese and hear their honking as they make their way to their winter homes. You'll also see Loons, Cormorants, Osprey, Blue Heron, Egrets, Crows, Hummingbirds, Hawks, and Turkey Vultures. Pay attention to the sky and spot an Eagle soaring alone. In September, listen for the Owl in the evenings and occasionally a Woodpecker at dawn. October brings changing colors every day all around. Cool crisp air is mild enough to invite you to sit outside on the porch and enjoy the abundant nature as it prepares for winter. By November, the leaves are falling and the best of fall in New England sets in.
Golf: Keep an eye out of the Monarch's cocoon - it is hanging under a rock & has edges of gold. The float in the river is a favorite haven of Dragonflies & Damselflies, both long-time residents of our planet, serving as pollinators & mosquito eaters. They are your friends & will not sting or hurt you. They will come & sit on your toe or finger & let you have a good look at their beautiful iridescent colors & patterns. This is a special treat & the only way to see what they really look like. There is no known way to preserve the colors of a Dragonfly specimen. Sometimes you can glimpse a Beaver family playing along the banks & in the water in the late afternoon. Last summer, they had two babies with them. The cunning raccoons usually prowl around at night looking for food. The skunk looks deceptively friendly, cute & fluffy as she prances across the yard from one section of woods to the other. Also at night you may spy the red fox that lives around the lake & river. What a sight! You can't miss the porcupines. They live in the untamed parts of the property, between the house & the dam. They compete with you for the wild blackberries which are abundant just outside the kitchen door & beyond. So do get out there & pick when they are ripe & enjoy some for yourselves. The sounds you hear at night in the early summer are a chorus of Loons & Bull Frogs.
Guest Book: Spring, Summer or Fall, River's Edge is a wonderful spot to vacation and unwind, or to work in absolute peace. Artists, writers, composers, musicians, poets and photographers have been inspired by entering this world of river and woods during their visits. Please come, bring your family and friends and make yourselves at home. Enjoy and use the house, property and river. Explore Camden, Rockport and the surrounding areas. It will surely be a vacation you'll remember. This time and for seasons to come.
Other Activities: yard sales, movies, Bay Chamber Concerts, Farnsworth Museum, Art Galleries
