Stunning Wells Home with Fire Pit

Wells sits at a quiet intersection of the Maine coast - close enough to Ogunquit's bustle and Perkins Cove's galleries, far enough back that your evening is fire-pit smoke and forest sound instead of footsteps on brick. This two-bedroom vacation home delivers exactly that: space to spread out, a fully equipped kitchen to cook in, and a patio setup that makes you want to stay outside until the light leaves.

A French couple just back from a 10-night stay said it plainly: everything was magnificent and calm, deep in the forest. One review isn't a chorus, but for a property this size in this location, it's a strong signal.

Two full bedrooms and bathrooms mean you don't have to choose between privacy and togetherness. The layout works for a couple who wants separate spaces during the day, or a family that needs elbow room. Each bathroom has a full tub and shower - the kind of detail that matters on a rainy Maine afternoon when someone just wants to soak.

The kitchen is actually equipped for cooking, not just reheating. Stovetop, oven, dishwasher, full refrigerator, microwave. Coffee machine and toaster in the morning. You can make a real meal here, which over a 10-night stay means money saved and meals on your timeline, not a restaurant's.

The fire pit and patio create an outdoor living room. This is where fall evenings happen in Maine - blankets, the sound of the ocean two towns away, no light pollution. The patio is private and off a private entrance, so you're not managing shared walkways or common ground.

Free WiFi and a work desk keep you tethered if you need to be. This property works for the remote worker who wants a Maine home-base for two weeks, or the couple on full sabbatical from email. Your choice.

The vacation home contains two bedrooms with full linens, a wardrobe in each, and independent access to two private bathrooms. The layout is straightforward: living area with desk, dining table, flat-screen TV, and ample natural light. One recent guest stayed 10 nights and found no reason to complain about the sleeping or living spaces - a useful signal for anyone considering a longer stay.

Summer (June–August): Peak season. Ogunquit Playhouse and Perkins Cove are in full swing. Beach days and evening fire pits. Expect higher nightly rates and book early. Crowds in nearby towns peak in July.

Fall (September–October): Leaf-peeping season along the Maine coast. Cooler evenings, perfect for a fire pit. Fewer crowds than summer, still warm enough for beach walks. The recent guest stayed in late October and found conditions excellent.

Spring (April–May): Roads and attractions reopen after winter. Weather can be cool and rain is common. Fewer bookings mean better rates. Good for a quiet getaway before the summer rush.

Winter (November–March): Quiet and cold. Some nearby restaurants and shops have reduced hours. The property has heating, so it's habitable, but outdoor fire-pit season is brief. Suits anyone seeking solitude.

Everything was magnificent and calm, surrounded by forest. We loved it.
