Exerpted from a note from a past guest...

"We found this place on the internet after 2 mo. of searching. Time well spent. Having never been here before, it amazes us as to the unlimited things to see and do from this site as a base!...A 1 of a kind opportunity I hope we can experience many more times!

View clearing at Oakland House Cottages by the Side of the Sea

We are about to distance ourselves from last week's "January thaw." Most snow melted and now we're headed into another serious downward chill cycle. In the office, we're starting to dream of spring. So are others...reservations are coming in for 2014.
Above are photos of the "view clearing" we did last fall in preparation for the Grindstone and Flagstaff "porch sitters" this summer.

Portland Harbor Lighthouse

Lighthouses-Part 1

Portland Harbor Lighthouse Jim and I stopped by one beautiful spring day and I took a series of still photos. Later, I composited them into this dreamy video. If you get the chance and the weather is nice...stop by.

Merriment Abounds at the Winter Solstice!

Greetings of the season. Be Well and at Peace with the World.

Aerial Views

These are fun to look at. Ben Magro took these photos from his helicopter a few years ago. He held the camera too. You can see each of the cottages. The depth of the water along the oceanfront is what is fascinating from this vantage point.
