If you love the outdoors, spending time on the water, building bonfires, watching sunsets, and prefer a simple, rustic cottage, then Ruthie's Cottage awaits you!

This cedar log cottage is the gem of the area. Nestled into Snug Harbor's quaint alcove, this is an outdoor lover's dream. Facing southwest, the cottage sits right on the bank of Spruce Creek, yet is private and secluded. Spend hours on the waterfront by day - swimming, kayaking, fishing - and enjoy bonfires and watching the magical sunsets on the dock by night. The property includes an 8' dock and float, a large deck, fire pit, kayaks, and a canoe.

The cottage is rustic with an open layout, designed so each room enjoys a waterfront view. The main floor has a peaked ceiling and an island kitchen fully equipped with all the cooking and spice necessities, plus New England favorites (lobster pot, oyster shuckers, shrimp peelers). Open to the kitchen is the main sitting room with a cozy Yodel Stove in the Fireplace. Off the kitchen is a sundeck, perfect for an afternoon picnic, or enjoying a starry night. The main floor also includes a large bedroom with a queen bed and an attached porch, a full bath, and a loft with a double bed.

A spacious, walk out studio located downstairs is outfitted with a queen bed, full bath, and compact kitchen with a sink, fridge, and microwave. It has a private entrance and a water view. The washer and dryer are located in an adjacent room on this floor.

Enjoy the seacoast adventures that surround Ruthie's Cottage. Take a short kayak ride to a local favorite, "tidal luge" and serene swimming hole. Hit Taylor's lobster pound, have a picnic on the dock and watch the sunset. Check out Fort McClary State Historic site, Chauncey creek, or spend an afternoon at the Kittery Point outlets - all just short rides away.
