Beach House in Penobscot, ME


Aisha and I joined Ian and Alex for a little extended weekend getaway in Penobscot, Maine. The Airbnb was in an old converted school house that was both on the Penobscot River and also in the middle of nowhere.

The Airbnb listing casually mentioned there being a ‘shipwreck’ on-site, we didn’t expect there to be a whole abandoned ship parked in the backyard. It was covered in barnacles and birds’ nests and was seriously the coolest thing.

Lucking out with good weather, we used the fire pit every night (so many s’mores!) and walked down to the small private beach, where we went kayaking up to the shipwreck and combed the sand for sea glass. We also drove out to Ellsworth, Maine one day and Bar Harbor another. Ah, Vacationland!
