Facing east, you’ll enjoy amazing sunrises right from your living room, deck, or shoreline. The views are simply unforgettable whether you’re inside or outside! Step inside & immediately feel the warmth & character created by beautiful pine shiplap & tongue-and-groove finishes throughout the walls & covering the floors delivering classic Maine cottage vibes.
