Quoted In
US Dollars
  Dates Rates  
Name of Period Begins Ends Weekly Weekend Weekend Per Night MidWeek Per Night Extra night Monthly Minimum Stay
Summer thru Columbus Day Jul 1 2008 - Oct 9 2008 n/a n/a $230 $230 $230 n/a 5 Nights
Notes: Check in is 5 PM on Monday and Check out is 5 PM the following Sunday.
Late Fall, Winter, Spring Oct 13 2008 - Jun 18 2009 n/a n/a $165 $165 $165 n/a 2 Nights
Notes: Writers Retreats-$1,400 each 4 week period, utilities included.
Payment is usually accepted in the quoted currency unless the currency and the amount is specifically agreed in advance with the owner / advertiser.

  • $165-$230/night
  • Payment is by check or money order. 50% down to make the reservation, the balance due 30 days prior to arrival. Signed rental agreement required. Damage deposit of $300, by separate check will be held for one week after departure and returned in full, if no damages.
  • Our high season week begins on Monday with check in at 5 PM. Departure the following Sunday with check out at 5 PM. Please schedule your stay accordingly! This gives our guests time to pack and to arrive on a day with much less traffic. It allows ourselves and guests to participate in the wonderful local summer and fall festivals that take place over the weekends in our area. It makes for an unhurried departure. It's a much more sane alternative to the usual Saturday turnover that cuts into 2 weekends and puts you on the road during peak travel times. We cannot accommodate week long stays that flow into the second week. A 5 day stay must fall between Monday and Sunday, also. Thank you!

Grab bars are installed beside the toilet, outside the shower, and one bar inside the shower under the controls. A quality, sturdy, shower bench is available with adjustable legs, so that one can transfer from a wheel chair outside the shower and using the grab bars, move to the interior of the shower. The 2nd story bathroom has toilet sink and closets, making for a private dressing room area. We provide plenty of towels and the utility room has a washer and dryer if you need it. ***We're planning an outdoor shower, which we will design to accommodate a wheelchair.***

Further Details for the cottage in Downeast and Acadia, Maine, USA

Smoking,Pets & Children: Policies. Smoking allowed outdoors. Sorry--no pets allowed, no exceptions. Our cottages were built with allergy sensitive people in mind. We've decided to give priority to these people versus pets and pet owners. We hope you understand. A stay at Light Heart Retreat is well worth the cost of you seeing to your pet's care while you're here. The Huckleberry Hideaway and Blackberry Cottage are located in an adult only section of Light Heart Retreat. Children are happily welcomed to the Quarry House, our family cottage. See the links to the Quarry House & our website for a great overview, a quicktime movie and more information on our policies.

Not your usual Maine Cottage Rental! Guests voice that they've never been anywhere, as beautiful, peaceful, with as wonderful an 'energy' as they experience as guests at Light Heart Retreat. Our cottages are finished, complete homes-not our personal summer home. We are present on the retreat, available to assist you. We keep the wood supplied for saunas and your own personal campfire pit. If you don't need us, we're all but invisible, except as caretakers of the gardens. We are sticklers about providing a clean space and strip beds down to the mattresses each time. We use natural cleaning products. Our soaps, candles and aromatherapy products come from Sweet Grass Farms. We keep our spaces as allergen free as possible--no glade plug ins and NO MICROWAVES-very bad for your food! Many guests have found inspiration in our holistic library. Joanna is available by appointment for holistic healing sessions. Self Health talks and Reiki trainings are held on Wednesday nights during July & Aug. See the Blackberry Cottage link.

Weddings & Gatherings. Light Heart Retreat is a beautiful, magical place to host a small wedding. The standing stone circle with view to Taunton Bay makes for a really unique, memorable setting! The large lawn and gardens on the north side of the quarry can hold a 40x40 tent with room to spare. LHR can accommodate events with guests up to 50. It's necessary to reserve each cottage for one week for an event during the summer season. There's an additional grounds and service charge for weddings. Email for more information. Keep LHR in mind for family reunions, also.
