Dark Harbour Cottage
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Spend an unforgettable escape in Central Maine at this adorable waterfront cottage. Boasting waterfront views and access to scenic, Threemile Pond, this two-bedroom retreat offers a healthy dose of peace and serenity to help you recharge while remaining within easy reach of area attractions. Sample local libations at nearby Cushnoc Brewing Co. or Two Hogs Winery, nearby, or tee it up at Western View Golf Course, just down the road. Augusta is just 10 miles away and Belfast makes for an easy day trip.
Take in the views from the deck or head down to the shore and lounge on the beach. The shallow water is perfect for family-friendly splashing and you can fish directly from the private dock. When the group has worked up an appetite, fire up the gas grill for a waterfront cookout and al fresco dining at the picnic table. In the evenings, gather around the beach firepit for s'mores and starlight conversation.
The home's updated interior boasts classic and modern features designed for guest comfort. The kitchen comes well-equipped for home-cooking with a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher for easy cleanup. The four-seater breakfast bar features a custom-finish counter featuring historical photographs and a regional map of the area. An adjacent dining room can accommodate table-seating for four. After the day's adventures, relax in the living room while streaming shows and movies on the smart TV or enjoying one of the provided board games. Dedicated desk areas in the living room and front foyer are perfect for remote work or study needs.
Both bedrooms can be found upstairs. Each is equipped with window-mounted air-conditioning for summertime and warm weather comfort. Additional home essentials include free WiFi and a private washer and dryer. Baby gates are available.
If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. No more dogs are allowed.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 3 vehicles.
Security camera details: Active Ring camera at entry of home.
