About this property

Cove Cottage is a nature lover's paradise and the foundation for your peaceful vacation. Uniquely surrounded on three sides by the calm emerald waters of Seavey Cove. You can step onto the deck and watch the glorious sunrise in the morning or the brilliant stars at night. A paddler's dream, launch your kayak or canoe mere steps from the cottage at mid to high tide and explore the islands of Long Cove and beyond into Penobscot Bay. Birders can be on the lookout for eagles, osprey, hawks, terns, kingfishers and herons. An occasional seal will check on you from the cove to make sure your relaxing. A traditional 1930's style cottage allows you to relax warmly away from today's technology ridden world. You'll want to turn off your cell phone, pick up a book or newspaper, play board-games, talk or take a walk and above all relax, relax, relax.

Loved It!

We had a wonderful time at Seavey Cove. The views are breathtaking, the cabin was perfectly clean and contained everything we needed. The hosts were helpful with restaurant recommendations and kindly offered more bed linens for my daughter who visited at the tail end of our stay.Would definitely book again!

A Piece of Heaven

If you want to recharge in a peaceful and beautiful location, this is the place. The cottage is nestled in a private and quiet cove that provides amazing views of wildlife, trees, lobster boats and even Clark Island. My dog and I did our daily meditation on the rocks overlooking the cove every morning. The cottage itself is well equipped with everything you could need. Vanessa, the owner, was in contact on our first day to make sure that we were having a pleasant stay and answered any questions that I had. The cottage was decorated to reflect the true essence of Maine. The location is near numerous great restaurants, although we did cook a lobster dinner at the cottage one night since they have a very large lobster pot to use. Everything was perfect and we will definitely return

The Perfect Vacation

This was our second stay at the cabin and it had everything we needed for the perfect vacation. Days spent in the idyllic, peaceful setting enjoying nature. Great food at Schoolhouse bakery and the Happy Clam right down the road. Short trip to Rockland. Even made it to the last Puffin Cruise of the season. Thank you so much for sharing this special place with us and we hope to stay again next year!

Just a cabin

Wide angles lenses and photoshop work wonders. What looked to be rustic- chic on line turned out to be merely rustic in actuality. This is not a "cottage". The sign at the end of the driveway is more to the point. It says "the cabin". That's all it is. You'll bang your elbows on the window sill if you roll over in bed at night and also in the shower stall if you wash your hair. The bungee cord used to keep condiments from falling off the refrigerator door shelves (with mixed success) was an interesting touch. Kitchen and kitchenware are spartan if you plan on eating in much. The upstairs "bedroom" reminded me of a YMCA camp I stayed in in the '60s.Whoever does the cleaning could have done a little more Swiffering under the furniture. If you're just looking for a place to stay for a long weekend this might be okay, but certainly not for the two weeks we had planned on. We left 5 days early. In our 40 years experience of vacationing in Maine this was the most over-priced place by far.

Idyllic waterside Cottage

This was a lovely place to stay in Maine and we would most definitely return! POSITIVES: varying and generous water views; great birding to enjoy; both outside tables had umbrellas - a “must” when the sun is out; great coffee maker; lots of pillows in living room - helps when reading in bed; lovely flowers in flower boxes; lots of windows; easy to work combination door access; clean & pleasant bathroom; Hosts very responsive & timely in responding to questions. NEGATIVES: Sliding glass door needs a screen - it diminishes pleasure, comfort & air-flow in the Great Room without a sliding-screen door; TV directions: step by step directions should be provided- not all guests are tech savvy; exterior door handle is loose, wobbly & inner part of handle appears to be separating from outer part; both sides of bed need lighting for reading; recessed ceiling lights on one side in Great Room don’t turn all the way off (on the “hammock” side of room); kitchen needs: wax paper, foil, a garlic press, sharpened knives for cooking, more trays for “lap dining”, real dishes VS plastic , although pretty, plastic is plastic. THANK YOU! Thank You for sharing your water-side cottage… it gives those of us who don’t live there, opportunity to experience a bit of Maine! We enjoyed it immensely!

Peaceful Retreat in Magnificent Setting

What a perfect cottage for getting away from our busy lives! Cove cottage was everything we hoped for--a simple yet beautiful cabin with everything we needed, gorgeous inside and out. It was exceptionally clean and well-stocked with kitchen, bathroom, and entertainment needs. The linens were so comfortable and the fans and a/c unit kept air moving through the cabin despite the heat of summer. The wide paneled wood walls and floors, natural light in every room, lovely loft design, two outdoor porches with dining tables, a comfortable hammock, all overlooking a serene cove--we found it to be even lovelier than the original description! We spent hours observing three bald eagles flying over the cove and perching a short distance from our porch. We visited area beaches (nestled in coves along midcoast Maine), hiked local trails with magnificent views, and explored bookstores and cafes in charming towns that are all only a short drive from this cottage. We ended most days with a fire pit, looking out on the cove. There is a sweet general store and a bakery nearby, and larger grocery stores in a neighboring town. Our family of four included two college aged sons who were grateful for this perfect week enjoying nature and unstructured time with each other. Many thanks to our hosts, who communicated clearly and always responded kindly and immediately to our questions. All in all we're grateful for the week we spent at this cottage, and we hope to return next year!

Peaceful visit

We loved how quiet and secluded the cabin was while still having easy access to explore all of the little towns nearby. It felt like we were on our own little peninsula. The views of the cove were beautiful. Marshall Point/Drift Inn Beach were close by. Vanessa and Paul made great recommendations, and our family of four was quite comfortable. Thank you, again, for a peaceful visit.

10/10 Cozy

If you are looking for a quiet secluded spot surrounded by the beauty of Maine then this little cottage is perfect. There are many cute towns surrounding Tenant Harbor. The cabin was clean and cozy. We had a problem with the electrical system in the master bedroom (the breaker box just needed to be flipped) and the property owner was quick to help. Such a nice lady. My girlfriend and I didn’t want to leave!

A beautiful spot! It is on a tidal cove and watching the birds and animals are quite entertaining. From deer walking across the mud flats, ospreys, geese, and gulls to observing a duck's nest. The cottage has everything you need and the owners are very easy to communicate with. I will definitely be returning next year!

A Cozy Cottage Getaway

We loved our stay at Cove Cottage. The location is ideal for a quiet, peaceful getaway - the property felt private and secluded with fantastic water views and nature all around - while also being a great launching pad to towns and activities in the surrounding area. The cottage itself was nice and clean with rustic charm. We had a great stay here!

Property profile lacks honesty ...

The setting is very serene and secluded. If you want to be isolated, remote, and rustic, you'd find that here. BUT ... there is no central working heat, and inadequate electrical service of tripping breakers from having to use numerous space heaters. As someone with a necessary medical device, reliable electrical service is critical. The property posting as of when we booked months prior, and as of this review, says: "We have a Heat Pump that regulates air temperature. We also provide small portable electric heating for the bedrooms, if needed." Furthermore the check-out instructions as of today state: "8) Make sure the temperature is set at 68 on the heat pump." A very old note on the fridge says that the heat pump no longer works, yet again, that wasn't mentioned at any point leading-up to our stay. We had to choose either, a.) working medical device and no heat; or b.) heat (if the breakers didn't trip), and no medical device. It is difficult not to question the integrity of the owners (Vanessa and Paul) to not mention this leading-up to our stay. We feel like $1,500 was stolen from us. My wife cried and we actually left early to go to a hotel. I received a message from the owner thanking us for the great care that we took of the place and how clean and kept it was after our check-out. That is how we are ... respectful of everything and everyone. Unfortunately that wasn't reciprocated, here. Also, the bed is like sleeping on wood, and the pricing is absurd.

We've stayed at several rentals in the mid-coast region and this location was incredible! A few steps to a perch on a rock and the week produced a few thousand pictures of all the birds and other wildlife visiting all day long. The rustic cabin was perfect for the two of us and our dog. Nearby to great local restaurants and an awesome ferry trip to Monhegan Island. We can't wait to return!

What a view!

We had a beautiful stay in tenants harbor. The cabin was cozy with incredible cross breezes making it the perfect temperature. We saw bald eagles, loons, great blue herons, osprey, oyster catchers and more. We brought our kayak so everyday was an easy launch from the yard adding more adventures in fishing. The master bedroom provides an amazing view of the sunrise. It also provides incredible stargazing opportunities from the comfort of the bed. We saw 3 shooting stars. The house is perfect! As for the location again perfect! Great for exploring surrounding towns and it’s a quick ride to the 2 local general stores and ferry to Monhegan Island (which we did and greatly enjoyed). It was a wonderful stay and we hope to visit again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Vanessa Boynton

I'm a seventh grade English teacher at a local school. My husband works in Camden at a gift shop. We both love to travel, hike and enjoy the sea.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family since the mid 1700's. Part of the cabin was built in the 1930's and the newer section was added onto in the 1970's. The property is unique because it is private and the cabin literally sits on a small spit of land over looking the cove. There is a view of the water on three sides. Also, the cove is a beautiful emerald green due to the reflection of the surrounding trees.

What makes this property unique

It's rustic beauty and provides a peaceful place to relax and unwind!
