SprucyWhat

SPRUCY is a two bedroom, classic Maine shorefront cottage. She has recently been rebuilt and renovated and is located about 45 feet from the edge of a fishing harbor and bay where there is always plenty to see.

The new waterfront kitchen, dining and living area have been completely redone along with tearing out and rebuilding the bedrooms and bathroom. All surfaces, systems and utilities have been replaced and upgraded, including granite countertops, new cabinetry and all new plumbing fixtures. While upgrading we have been very careful to preserve the old time feeling of a simple coastal cottage.

If the Summer Heat gets you down, then try our natural air conditioning which occurs when you put an island close enough to the mainland to be conveniently connected by a bridge but still far enough away to able to take advantage of the moderating temperatures of the ocean. Nature is kind enough to provide cool breezes in the summer and warmer temperatures in the winter. If you have a temperature sensor in your car, you will be pleasantly surprised to see it drop by about 10 degrees as you drive over the island bridge. The wonderful part is that this phenomenon reverses during the cold seasons and combined with our new heating system, Sprucy is no longer just a spring, summer and fall destination.

In order to insure that everyone is comfortable, we rent to a maximum of 4 people at a time. There are two bedrooms. One is small and the other is smaller. The small bedroom offers a queen bed, the smaller bedroom offers a full size bed. There is also the option of a queen sleeper couch in the living room near the huge old granite and brick fireplace.

Outside at the waters edge, in front of the windows, we have built a very primitive barbecue pit from the granite that protects the shoreline. It makes a great place for a clambake or just roasting marshmallows. Or you can fire up our charcoal grill.
