Frequent Questions

The rental season begins in mid-May and extends through the end of October. Be sure to reserve your dates as early as possible, especially for weeks in the summer. 

Maine is beautiful year-round! If you're seeking warmer temperatures, late May through October are generally the months that have warmer days. No matter when you visit though, it's always a good idea to be prepared for changing weather, which is very common in Maine. We recommend planning to dress in layers and bringing a rain jacket. While our climate is ever-changing, the coast usually receives less rain in July-September. Other months are still very pleasant, but you may have an extra day or two of rain during those times.

The busiest tourist months tend to be mid-June through the end of September. However, with Eboleth House being more secluded, you can rest assured that you will be able to escape the hustle and bustle of the larger cities and towns and relax in quiet surroundings.

Yes, we definitely welcome children of all ages and we have equipped the house with safety measures to help keep children out of harm's way.

The beach is a short walk (approximately 4-5 minutes) across the yard. A newer set of wooden stairs leads down to the beach. 

​

The calm waters of Eggemoggin Reach, which is the body of water that meets the beach, is fantastic for swimming, boating and fishing. The shore is less rocky than some other parts of the coastline, making it simple to launch a kayak, canoe or paddleboard and easy to get in and out of the water if swimming. Since the reach is sheltered from the open ocean, the water here tends to be slightly warmer and calmer. It's a popular waterway for many sailboats and fishing boats.

​

Even though the water in the reach tends to be calmer, we cannot emphasize enough how important it is to check the weather forecast for Sedgewick, Maine ahead of time for the period of time you plan to be out or in the water. Fog, rain and a change in wind can happen very quickly and conditions can become dangerous for small boats and swimmers who are caught unaware and unprepared.
