This stand-alone guesthouse completes a family retreat on the coast of Maine. While giving guests a get-a-way spot from larger gatherings, one can easily transition to the excitement of family events through a trail system along the shore. The exterior is clad in red cedar shingles with a clear finish, and painted accents use natural hues matching specific colors found on the site. The combination of wood and stone interior gives warmth to large spaces. Bedrooms are arranged to allow multiple families to stay together yet maintain privacy.
