The main house has five cozy bedrooms and three full bathrooms, a lovely dining room for memorable dinner parties, and an intimate living room with a large fireplace.

The guest cottage has three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a kitchenette. Guests can sit out on the screened in balcony or stay warm by the woodstove. The cottages sit on two private acres and have shared ownership in the 8 acres across the lane with beautiful walking trails to the waterfront on Wells Cove.
