Rob and I met a year ago, each of us with homes along Maine’s Kennebec River waterway, both of us happiest when on the water. After surfing nearby last fall, I told Rob I wanted to buy a house in Phippsburg. He had always wanted a house near Popham Beach and sent me a link to the Sam Day Hill House. We drove there that day, made an offer the next, and moved in during a snowstorm.

We love staying at our dream home, watching herons pluck frogs out of the marsh below the porch, biking along Popham Beach (October through March,) paddling the river to the sea, swimming with the seals between sauna sessions at the mouth of the Kennebec River. Though Mainers know and love Popham Beach, few visitors know Phippsburg. We created Hidden Maine to showcase our Sam Day Hill House vacation rental… and share other hidden gems in Maine (see our Hidden Maine group on Facebook.)

Six months later… Steph decided to sell her camp that she has treasured for 20 years.

Who knows where the road less traveled will take us next…
