There are 5 bedrooms, 3 small jail cells with single beds (perfect/fun for the kids!), a bunkhouse and 4 full baths. The house rental rate allows up to 10 guests, but will consider additional guests for an additional charge.

Summary: This was our second time visiting the Jailhouse. The house is well equipped for all of us to spend time together but also have time to ourselves. The kitchen well equipped with two ovens and two dishwashers. It had everything our large family needed. The upstairs living space was great for my husband and I to have peace and quiet. A drawback was a few hot days made the upstairs apartment pretty hot and fans could not keep up. The outside shower and hammock were a nice addition since our last visit. The island is magical and Casco Bay is beautiful. We kayaked, enjoyed hunting for sea glass on the beaches, and enjoyed discovering the island through many fairy tale like trails. All of us explored as we saw fit and met for family dinners to share our stories. Sunsets on the dock were a great end to the days. Every one of us aged 16-50’s enjoyed this vacation and we plan to return. Our two dogs also enjoyed their stay!
