Come in. Stay a while.
An old captain's house above the Atlantic. A library lined with books. Beyond the garden, a path through the pines and granite ledges at the water's edge.
Stillwater: Coastal Maine is a small, first-person retreat on an imagined stretch of the Maine coast. Explore the house and shore, choose the light and weather, and spend a little time in a place that feels familiar.
Find your favorite corner
Walk from the painted kitchen to the book-lined library, look out from the room above the roof, or settle into a chair on the porch. Open a book, switch on a reading lamp, and listen to the coast. Save a favorite view to return to on your next visit.
The library contains 266 readable public-domain classics. These are full, unabridged historical texts; some contain mature themes and language.
Small ways to spend an afternoon
Cast a line from the old dock and release your catch. Go for a swim, split some kindling, or play a few notes in the parlor. Upstairs, make a simple color study of the coast and keep it on the easel. Each activity is a quiet way to spend a few minutes during your visit.
Come back in another light
A summer porch. Autumn among the pines. Snow on the grounds and a warm room inside. Choose the season, weather, and time of day, or watch a storm pass along the shore. The same places invite another look as the coast changes.
A place close at hand
Stillwater is one house, its gardens, and the nearby shore. Its open-ended visits and simple activities are made for a short break or a longer stay. Sea and wind sounds, optional original piano music, and adjustable walking and viewing controls let you make the visit comfortable.
