A short walk from the village of Waldoboro, Le Vatout is part of a sprawling farm house. Don't blink when you drive by. Like most special things in life it’s easy to miss as it hides behind its trees. Built in the 1830's, the big house with its guestrooms is connected to the little house, our private quarters, which in turn are attached to the backhouse and a grand barn that we're busy turning into an artist studio, gallery and darkroom. Store your gear, your bikes, your skis in the garage (it’s that wheathered old building, obscured by the blooms of a climbing hydrangea) and step inside for a spell.

The garden is lovely, huge, romantic and quite private with plenty of nooks and crannies where you can relax, write, read a book or simply snooze in the hammock. After a day of exploring the shoreline there’s nothing better than to sit around the firepit in back or play cards under the weeping willow, drinking lemonade or a glass of wine. A grape-trellised tea house invites you to linger, a giant elm tree tempts with sun-dappled shade, and there’s always a refreshing breeze from the water to relax and reinvigorate you at the same time. At Le Vatout, your options to enjoy your vacation are as limitless as your imagination with nature’s surprises thrown in for free – like one of the resident bald eagles you might spot circling high above or a trilling flock of bohemian waxwings that favor our wild roses – and at night you can count the stars.

Le Vatout is anchored in the granite landscape where the Medomac River meets the ocean and the tide laps at the waterfall twice a day. The boat landing is right around the corner and a hidden path leads to the rocks where the rapids run and the herons hunt.
