Cozy Maine Vacation Home Features Unique Lobster Boat Library

Discover a Coastal Haven at The Dock House

Are you looking for a Maine-defining home to stay in on your next trip to the Pine Tree State? Look no further, because this home overlooking Holmes Bay is the perfect Maine getaway. How do we know? Because it comes with its own lobster tug boat, that’s how.

Features of The Dock House

The Dock House, located in Machiasport, Maine, offers gorgeous views of the bay and the Long Point nature reserve. It’s quaint and perfect. Inside, guests will find midcentury modern furnishings and sun-filled rooms thanks to its windows on all sides. The interior also includes stunning wood ceilings, providing the home with a charming beachside bungalow aesthetic.

However, the real star of the show here is the Airbnb’s on-site tug boat, which has been fully restored into a mini library and lounge that guests can enjoy throughout their stay. Inside the tugboat, guests will not only find plenty of books but will also have the opportunity to put on their favorite vinyl record, play board games, or unwind with a classic film after the sun goes down.

Moreover, from the home, as noted by the owner on Airbnb, guests can easily access some of the state’s best hiking destinations, including Acadia National Park, Campobello, Eastport, the Schoodic Peninsula, and many more. The owners also suggest utilizing your stay to visit local antique stores and, of course, purchase fresh lobsters to grill right on the deck.

Never mind the lobster boat library.”
