EBB TIDE CABIN — ACROSS FROM PEMAQUID BEACH (KING, SLEEPS 2)
A one-bedroom cabin tucked among the trees behind the historical Laughton House, in Pemaquid Village on Maine`s midcoast — across the road from Pemaquid Beach State Park. For couples wanting simple, unplugged Maine: morning coffee on the porch, afternoons on the beach, evenings around the fire pit.
THE CABIN
One bedroom with king bed, full bathroom, and separate living area with a small but full-featured kitchenette — four-burner stove, microwave, fridge, coffee maker, electric kettle, toaster, basic cookware and dishes.
OUTSIDE
A private picnic table and lounge chairs. Your own propane grill. A fire pit shared with the other two cabins sits a few steps away, along with hammocks strung between trees.

THE PROPERTY
Ebb Tide is one of three small cabins (Low Tide, Ebb Tide, High Tide) tucked in the woods behind Laughton House — the 4-bedroom main house on the property. Each cabin has its own grill, and parking. The three cabins share a wooded courtyard with a fire pit and hammocks.
ALSO ON SITE
Level 2 EV charger (shared with usage fee). Free fiber WiFi. Free parking (1 dedicated spot ~75 yards from the cabin door).
ADDITIONAL FO
The cabin is uninsulated and seasonal — heaters and fans only, no central HVAC, no in-cabin laundry. The whole property runs on a shared well; please conserve water in late summer. We are not a pet-friendly property (ADA service animals welcome with advance notice — please reach out before booking).
Thanks for staying with us. Please read these house rules before you arrive.
GUESTS AND VISITORS
- Maximum of 2 overnight guests. Infants under 2 don`t count, but please list them on your booking.
- You may have up to 2 day visitors at a time. Visitors must leave by 9 PM, can`t stay overnight, and can`t park on the property.
- No parties or events.
- No commercial photography.
NO SMOKING
- No smoking or vaping of any kind anywhere on the property, indoors or outside. A $250 smoking fee applies, plus the cost of any extra cleaning or repairs.
PETS
- No pets or emotional support animals. Service dogs are always welcome. It helps if you let us know before you arrive.
- If a pet is brought without our approval, a $500 fee applies, plus the cost of any extra cleaning, flea treatment or repairs.
QUIET HOURS
- Please keep noise down between 9 PM and 9 AM. Sound carries between the cabins and around the fire pit.
CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT
- Check-in is 4:00 PM and check-out is 10:00 AM.
- Early check-in from 2:00 PM or late check-out until 12:00 PM is $40 each, when the schedule allows. Ask us by the day before and we`ll confirm in writing by 4:00 PM.
- Arriving early or staying past 10:00 AM without a confirmed request is charged $50 for each hour or part of an hour, with no charge within the first 15 minutes. If you`re still in the unit at 1:00 PM, or arrive before 1:00 PM, we charge one extra night instead, if that`s more.
PARKING
- Park only in the spot marked for Ebb Tide. Wheelbarrows are near the parking area for your bags.
GRILL AND FIRE PIT
- Use your grill only where it sits. Clean it with the wire brush while it`s still hot and turn off the gas at the tank after each use. A $50 fee applies if it`s left dirty.
- The shared fire pit is the only place for a fire. Keep it small, never leave it unattended, and drown it with water before you leave it or go to bed. We don`t supply firewood, but C.E. Reilly & Son sells it.
FIRE SAFETY
- No candles, fireworks or other open flames indoors. Battery candles are fine.
- The fire extinguisher is in the entry hallway.
HEATING AND COOLING
- The wall heaters and extra blankets keep you cozy on cool nights. Please turn the heaters off when you leave the cabin.
- Fans are provided for warm days.
WATER AND SEPTIC
- The property runs on a well that can run low in late summer, so please go easy on water. The showers at Pemaquid Beach are a great way to rinse off.
- Please flush only toilet paper. No wipes, even `flushable` ones, and no feminine products.
TRASH
- Put full bags in the bins next to the shed, never on the ground next to them.
- If we have to take trash to the transfer station because it was left outside or next to full bins, a $100 fee applies for each trip.
BEFORE YOU LEAVE
- Please wash and put away your dishes. A $50 fee applies if dishes are left dirty.
DAMAGE HOLD
- For direct and VRBO bookings, we place a $250 hold on your card about a day before checkout. If all is well, it`s released automatically, usually within about 7 days.
Direct and VRBO guests also sign a rental agreement with the full details.
