About this property

West facing newly renovated cottage located on Cousins Island in picturesque Yarmouth, Maine. Enjoy the quiet, peaceful views of Casco Bay while relaxing in the sunny, open living room or out on the large cedar deck. You can also enjoy the view from the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable dining area. The master bedroom has a king bed and the second bedroom has bunk beds and a twin. There is a full bathroom between the two bedrooms.

Cousins Island is accessed by bridge and is located about 15 miles north of Portland. Cousins is less than 10 miles from downtown Freeport, home of LL Beans and many famous outlet stores.

Birchwood Cottage is perfect as a home base as you explore all that coastal Maine has to offer or as a place to just sit back and enjoy spectacular sunsets over Casco Bay.

Beautiful, clean, comfortable.... great place!

This lovely cottage is in a perfect setting for a retreat! Pristine location, very clean and nicely appointed, well stocked with nice supplies, comfortable bed with great linens, thick towels.... all was great. Amy was always quick to respond to questions and even offered extra time to check out. She even left a few lights on for us since we were arriving after dark. Close to many fun and interesting sights and activities. We would definitely stay here again if we are back in Maine.

Beautiful and relaxing

This was the perfect rental to take walks with our daughter and dog, go sight seeing, enjoy the water views and just a short commute to Portland. The home was sparkling clean, stocked with everything we needed and has the most beautiful views of the water.

Great Maine get away!

My husband and I loved the solitude and sunsets! We walked the beach with family and slept like babies in the quiet, comfortable rooms after full shopping days in Freeport and Portland. The few times we had questions, we got answers immediately. Would stay here again without hesitation.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Beard McNaughton

My husband Pete and I live in Yarmouth with our 2 kids. Pete is a local builder and I own a bookstore on Main Street in Yarmouth called Royal River Books.

Why they chose this property

We have always dreamed of having a cottage on the water. Pete had his eye on this property for years and finally had the opportunity to purchase it in early 2017. We spent most of the year renovating and furnishing the cottage. We use it for special occasions and visiting family and friends.

What makes this property unique

We live right over the bridge if guests have any problems with the property. Pete did the renovations and has been a builder for over 20 years. Pete and I are both from the area and are happy to help with any suggestions or questions about southern Maine.
