Explore the House
Random Ridge has many spaces to investigate and enjoy. In the main house, start your morning in the bright kitchen. Host a lobster dinner for 10 in the dining room. Settle in by a cozy fire for an evening of board games in the living room. Out on the porch, listen for lobster boats chugging out from the harbor in the morning, and count sailboats heading out in the afternoon. Take your pick from five bedrooms in the main house and two more in the back house.
From the porch, wander down the covered passageway to the Lodge. Built before the house, the Lodge is a world to itself. A spacious great room is as perfect for entertaining as it is for a quiet retreat from the activities in the main house. You'll also find more two more bedrooms (one bigger, one smaller) and a bathroom. Open the French doors to a small porch and a walk down a few steps to the garden.

“We had a spectacular two weeks in magical Random Ridge. Mostly sunny weather mixed with just enough fog, hikes, lots of sailing, mornings, afternoons and evenings on the porch, fires at night, lobster, board games, watching the hummingbirds – so many fun times all centered around Random Ridge. Thank you…for sharing it with us.”
"We had a wonderful time! Random Ridge is a perfect getaway!"
