The private patio area (half covered, half open)offers a large private outdoor shower (yes, big enough for two!), fireplace to relax by the fire with a glass of wine in the evening, BBQ grill and patio furniture.
This beautiful gem allows you to "hide away" if you choose. The cottage is also just 10 minutes to Rockland, 20 minutes to Camden, 15 minutes to Port Clyde and close to ample options of museums, hikes, beaches and other sites in the mid-coast area. The best part is that you return back to the privacy of the cottage at the end of your day to unwind and renew with your honey.

A typical Maine Cottage! Cute as a button. Quietly tucked away yet convenient to popular spots. The only thing I would say is that it's not a "cooks" kitchen but most everything you need is there. We loved our stay there!

Relaxing Honeymoon

This property was wonderful! It was secluded and very peaceful. We felt safe at all times and the host was great! They provided us with several local activities and restaurants and almost did them all. We will definitely be coming back to the area in the future!

Great Location

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was convenient to lots of things to do in the area. Beaches, restaurants, shopping, sightseeing. Nice private patio to sit out on. Cottage was very clean, nice goody basket, refrigerator stocked with waters and sodas. Bed could use a box spring to make it more comfortable.

Our midcoast Maine cottage getaway.

We had a great week at this little cottage. The arrival welcome package was a very nice welcome gift. It was a perfect Midcoast Maine location. The owner Aric was fantastic to rent from and had many great suggestions for us. Thank you again

Perfect Cottage Oasis

19 Birch Lane is in the perfect location on the mid-coast. My husband and I were able to take several day trips and return at night to our own little oasis. The cottage was very nice and the amenities were so thoughtful. The welcome basket and “In case you forgot” basket were nice touches. Beautifully decorated as well. And, the stars at night were magical. Totally enjoyed our stay.

The cottage overall is nice. The owners are very friendly and the garden is pretty.The steep steps with the bedroom upstairs and bathroom downstairs is a bit of a challenge but overall a cozy place.The location was close to our friends we were visiting.My only suggestion would be window treatments for privacy and some live TV streaming choice in addition to Netflix.For a young couple this place is a great place.

Very Nice Cottage

We picked this property because it sounded like just what we needed for a short vacation. It fit the bill. Very cozy. The owner was super nice and responded to questions immediately. We didn't prepare any meals but everything was there to do so. Likewise, the "in case you forgot" selection was quite comprehensive. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay in Midcoast Maine

This is a wonderful private cottage. Aric has gone over the top with special treatment for his guests, including a bottle of wine, snacks and cold drinks, topped off with a basket of "in case you forgot" items. The cottage is super clean and perfect for a couple, including all that you might need in the kitchen, a private outdoor patio with fire pit and gas grill. Thanks for a great week!

Cozy cottage stay

Beautifully appointed cottage, quiet location, close to ocean, local towns and markets. Spent 10 days reading, cooking, swimming and relaxing in the area in late July. Great outdoor shower, nice and private patio with morning sun. Efficient AC. Situated on a nice property with a main house and a great big garden. Private, romantic and calm. We enjoyed it so much.

Wonderful stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage. It is newly built and immaculately clean. It has a charming private patio with a bbq and a real fire pit (all the makings of a fire provided). The cottage is even nicer in person than in the photos. The decor is lovely and the hosts have left thoughtful items throughout for their guests to enjoy. Everything from information about nearby attractions to toiletries to welcome snacks. They make you feel very at home. The upstairs has an AC unit but even on the hottest days of the summer we just had the windows on either end of the room open at night and got a lovely breeze. The bathroom has a huge shower. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great spot for couples getaway!

Our whole family has been coming to Tenant's Harbor for many years. As the family has grown, my wife an I have been looking for our own little spot near the family that allows us to also have some time to ourselves. This was the perfect spot. It's a cute little cottage with everything a couple could want. There was also a lot of extras at check-in, including a bottle or wine, cheese, crackers, chocolates, coffee pods, etc. The only slight issue was the internet. The booster in the cabin kept dropping the connection. When connected it was fast enough so there weren't really any issues buffering to watch a movie, however I wasn't able to zoom in to work. If you are looking for a budget friendly spot that is near to everything the midcoast has to offer, you should definitely consider this cottage. We would not hesitate to stay here again!
