Belfast cottage Rental Property Information

Modeled after an authentic, turn of the century village depot, Payson Hill Station is family friendly, fun and comfortable. This two-for-one retreat features a classic porch Cottage and a lovingly restored Maine Central railroad caboose (circa 1917). Inspired by traditional Maine vacation camps, the Cottage features a lovely raised brick hearth, country furniture and wide plank floors. Casting a warm glow over a rough-sawn pine interior, the fireplace serves as a hub for all activities with connections to a generous sleeping area, dining area and porches. A cozy sleeping loft covers a third of the great room with a bathroom and reading area tucked underneath. Floor to ceiling window walls flank either side of the fireplace, flooding the interior with light while providing a panoramic view of the trout pond and woodlands beyond. The caboose boasts a modern, fully equipped kitchen, four twin beds and a second bathroom.

Frogs croak, Chipmunks scold and Horses whinny! The birch-shaded dam behind the Cottage and Caboose backs up enough water to maintain a cool swimming hole and is home to schools of Rainbow Trout. Cross the brook and take a long, peaceful walk through fifteen acres of private forest. Gather wildflowers, pick berries, bird-watch... one guest recorded 30 species in just 24 hours! Look for wildlife... deer, wild turkey, porcupines, partridge, snowshoe hare; even an occasional Flying Squirrel or Lonely Moose have been spotted by our guests. Upon your return, relax on the sun deck or swing away in a hammock under the pines. The fun is just beginning at Sunset! Build a crackling campfire - roast wieners, toast marshmallows, have a sing-a-long. Weather permitting, treat yourself to a free light show -Star Gazing is unsurpassed here! Enjoy the childhood thrill of chasing lightning bugs as thousands sparkle all around you. Firefly jars are in the Cottage.

Further Details for the cottage in Maine, USA

The original watchtower or 'cupola' offers spacious seating and scenic views of the surrounding woodlands and farm. We are located in the scenic farm community of Knox, Maine and only minutes away from coastal Belfast and Penobscot Bay, the Frye Mountain Wildlife Management Area and beautiful Lake St. George. Ski, snow tube and toboggan at Camden Snow Bowl approximately 35 minutes travel time. Play golf at Country View Golf Course, only 15 minutes by scenic country roads.

This is truly a Special Place! Meet 'Mickey' and 'Rain', our gentle, Belgian/Saddlebred horses. You are also welcome to join us at feeding and grooming time... stall cleaning is always optional! A healthy variety of delicious, farm fresh produce is grown here in season; high bush blueberries, apples, snow peas, tomatoes, peppers, squash, corn and pumpkins. During your stay, you are invited to enjoy a complimentary, fresh-baked pie or breakfast muffins from our country kitchen. Quench your thirst with fresh, cool water drawn from our granite-ledge drilled well. Fresh apple cider is available to our guests from early Fall on. Fresh, succulent Maine lobsters are plentiful and available locally at very reasonable prices. If you like, we can show you how to cook it or we can prepare it for you! Ask about our delicious, home cooked meals, clam-boils and cookouts.

Rainy day? No Problem!!! Not to dwell on the negative, but hey... not every day is a Sunny day! For your enjoyment, the Depot is stocked with a variety of good books and magazines to read, board games (checkers anyone?), cards, a cribbage board and the free use of videotapes and Direct TV. While relaxing indoors on a cool or rainy day, why not take off the chill with a cozy fire?

Skiing Information: The Camden Snow Bowl really is where the 'mountains meet the sea'! From the summit of 1300' Ragged Mountain, home to the Snow Bowl's trails, skiers and riders have an incredible view of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a view unlike any other in the East. In addition to Alpine skiing and snowboarding, there are many other winter activities available at the Snow Bowl... snow tubing, ice skating and snowshoeing, to name a few.

Golf Information: Country View Golf Club is famous throughout Maine and New England as one of the most scenic golf courses in the United States. Located just a few miles from our farm, this gorgeous country club is located on top of the highest hill in Brooks. On a clear day you can see the Camden Hills, the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Mount Cadillac in Maine's famous Acadia National Park. As breathtaking as the distant views is the scenery on the golf courses itself, which includes hundreds of trees, numerous gardens and ponds, and endless manicured fairways and greens. You don't have to be a golfer to appreciate the beauty of this magnificent place... rent a set of clubs and experience it for yourself!

Guest Book '...the family vacation of our lives!' '...a delightful and perfect place for us'', '...a great place for a family vacation in Maine' 'Our two children loved sharing the Caboose and we relaxed in the Depot.' 'What a find!' '...our family felt welcome and at home'. '...fresh wildflowers and homemade blueberry pie!' '...our unreserved recommendation!'

Other Activities peaceful napping, marshmallow toasting, bird watching, hiking, firefly chasing, weiner roasting
