DRAKES ISLAND ROAD COTTAGE on nature preserve, one mile to beach
This lovely cottage is comfortable, clean, and well supplied. The layout includes one bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living room, and screened-in porch. The property borders the beautiful Rachel Carson and Laudholm Farm wildlife preserves. You will enjoy the peaceful surroundings of your cottage. The expansive lawn stretches down to the salt marsh. Enjoy the large, solar-heated swimming pool (open mid-June to mid-September), picnic tables, and grills, or a leisurely walk around the grounds. Cottage In The Lane offers guests a combination of quiet and convenience, located just under one mile from one of Southern Maine's most beautiful beaches. Drakes Island Beach itself has no commercial establishments on it, yet within a few miles, you can enjoy shopping, fine dining, and the quaint fishing villages of Ogunquit and Kennebunkport.

About the host
Hosted by Laura Legere
We are third-generation owners of the business our grandparents and parents built, beginning in the 1950s. We were raised on the property and love running a small family business, as well as being stewards of the cottages and the protected tidal wetland that we overlook. Some of our returning quests are families that have been coming to stay with us for four generations.
Why they chose this property
It is 'off the beaten path'. It has beautiful, uncrowded, peaceful green areas and yet is just one mile from the ocean.
What makes this property unique
We are small and quiet. We have decided to retain our green space and not over develop the property.
