About this property

Cove Cottage: Quietly Nestled Between The Pines Of Tranquil Seavey Cove

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.

Once again, we loved our stay at the Cove Cottage! We love the silence and beauty, and its proximity to so much good food and hiking. During this stay, we tried McLoon's Lobster Shack -- great food and gorgeous setting.

My partner and I stayed here for an anniversary trip. Cove cottage was both a warm landing pad and a destination in itself. The views out of every window were beautiful, and the cove was a quiet and magical place. We were able to explore the coast, visiting Monhegan Island, and Acadia National Park. We drove to the top of Cadillac Mountain for the sunrise and got engaged! This spot will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we can’t wait to come back for another visit.

Hi Maria, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay at Cove Cottage and I hope you return sometime in the future. I made a mistake when rating you as a client. I thought I was rating a different client. You should be 5’s across the board. I’m working with VRBO to change it. Hopefully this doesn’t cause any inconvenience . Vanessa and Paul

Stunning Location and Property

We loved our stay at Cove Cottage! Vanessa was kind and communicative and made us feel very welcome. The cottage is comfortable and beautiful inside and out. It has everything you need and loads of natural light. The location — right on the water — is filled with wildlife and the rise and fall of the tides. Maine at its best! Close to Thomaston and Rockland and great restaurants within 5 minutes in St. George. Can’t wait to return!

Beautiful location right next to the water. The view was magical whether it was foggy, sunrise, high-tide, low-tide, or when the water was still as glass. So many birds to watch and stars to see late at night while sitting around the fire pit. We worked ourselves into the cold but invigorating water a few times and our dog loved swimming and hunting for chipmunks. The place is cute and clean. The location is ideal - short drive to a beautiful beach, quaint lighthouse, great local restaurants, and within a 30 minute drive of Camden and Rockport. The hosts are lovely people and very responsive.

This property was as lovely as advertised. I spent most of my time in the hammock or looking out the window. It was difficult to leave! My only comment is that the kitchen is not well provisioned. If you enjoy cooking, as I do, you will be frustrated by the lack of useful equipment. Next time, I’ll bring my own gear. Otherwise, a blissful experience, quiet and gorgeous.

Location, location, location. Accurate description. Right on the cove. Avian life a plenty. Ospreys, kingfishers, water birds. An occasional deer. Our highlight was a Great Horned Owl. Many very excellent dining experiences . Of course, Maine Top Notch lobster shacks. Local tavern restaurants. All kinds of excursions to one’s preference. Hiking trails. Sailing. Maine back roads. Light houses. Simply sit by the cove and meditate. We liked touring the Bath USN ship building facility. That we have repeat visited says everything. And we have thoughts of a third stay. Chill and enjoy

About the host

Hosted by Vanessa Boynton

Host profile image
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!
