Hidden at the end of a quiet lane and surrounded by forest, The Romantic Coastal Escape – 46 Lime Rock offers refined comfort and meaningful hospitality with extravagance. Two blocks from Rockport’s five-star restaurants and harbor walks, with forest views, complete privacy, and trails just outside the door, guests call it “a secluded paradise just minutes from everything.”
The space
As you enter, you’re greeted by a completely redecorated mudroom — a warm, beautifully finished space where guests can store boots, coats, skis, or hiking gear. It’s the perfect transition between the outdoors and the peaceful elegance of the living area, setting the tone for a stay that blends Maine tradition with modern comfort. Guests are kindly encouraged to remove all shoes, boots, and footwear and leave them in the mudroom to help keep the house impeccably clean.
The upper-level suite features a bright living room with fireplace, rich wood floors, and curated coastal art. Two completely separate bedrooms — one in calming green tones, the other in deep, restful brown — each feature queen-size four-poster beds and a serene, private ambiance. The bedrooms are separated by approximately 25 feet of space, providing total privacy for two couples or individuals traveling together.
Guests consistently describe the bedding as “one of the most comfortable sleep experiences we’ve ever had.” Each bed features a premium-quality mattress, soft feather-down mattress cover, and luxurious bamboo sheets that create a smooth, silk-like feel. The result is deep, restorative rest — a level of comfort rarely found even in top-tier hotels.
The bathroom continues the same standard of excellence, featuring a high-tech design that guests frequently call “unlike anything else in the area.” The shower is spacious, modern, and equipped with multiple spray options — an uncommon luxury that has become a highlight in many guest reviews. Complimentary shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided for every guest.
The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped — every appliance, utensil, and tool you could need is here for your use. Nothing has been overlooked. Over 150 guests have shared ideas for improvement, and every suggestion has been implemented. From cookware and serving pieces to spices, oils, and essentials for easy home cooking, this kitchen is stocked for comfort, creativity, and convenience.
A new washer and dryer are also provided for your convenience, fully supplied with detergents, soaps, and softening pads — everything you need for extended or comfortable stays.
Guest access
Guests enjoy full private access to the entire upper floor — private entrance, living room, kitchen, bath, and two bedrooms. Free on-site parking, Wi-Fi, smart TV, and outdoor sitting areas are included. The private entrance opens into the new mudroom, designed for convenience and style. Trail entrances to the 163-acre Aldemere Farm preserve are steps away.
Other things to note
This property is a true four-season escape — peaceful in summer, vibrant in fall, hushed and cozy in winter, and blooming in spring.
