About this property

Peace and Quiet on a lovely private property on Penobscot

I must emphasize the peace and quiet aspect of this property since noise carries easily over water and I ask that the neighbors be respected. This rustic house sits on a private lot just 1/2 mile from Rt One at the end of a dirt road. Decor is eclectic but comfortable - -nothing fancy. A short flight of steps provide access to the rocky shore. Three private bedrooms (one on main floor) and a 4th room upstairs connecting the two bedrooms. There are 2 baths (one with tub) plus 1/2 bath up. Kitchen is well applianced and a screened-in porch provides wonderful ever-changing views of Penobscot Bay.

This is our 4th family stay and it was once again perfect. The weather was sunny and the water provided successful fishing and the grandkids played daily in the ocean! The screened porch allowed that majestic view and a great place for the family to gather! Simply a perfect vacation!!

Picturesque and Serene

The property is well off the road at the tip of a lovely cove. It is very quiet, with a large yard and beautiful views of the bay. The cottage is very well appointed and the screened in porch is the perfect place to read or chat on a bright sunny day. We loved our stay there.

Our stay was absolutely fabulous! We have been to Maine several times but were always in hotels and moving every night. It was refreshing to have a HOME base and after a week I can attest to this place felt like home. The property is indeed quiet and secluded but not too far from groceries and supplies. I loved how well the kitchen was stocked with pretty much any appliance that might be needed with plenty of room for more than one cook!We enjoyed morning coffee on the patio and evening wine on the dock. Communications were always timely and check-in and out was painless! It was an amazing stay and I would highly recommend this home to any family and hope we can return soon!

Wonderful property

We spent four weeks here and had a wonderfully relaxed time. The house is very comfortable, well furnished, and the kitchen well equipped. But the highlight for us was the screened in porch. Never too hot or too cold, no bugs, and a great view of the water.

This is our 6th stay at this wonderful cottage! It is perfectly maintained for our 3 generation family and the view of the ocean is just beautiful!

First trip to Maine

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was very comfortable , well stocked with essentials and well maintained. Gary was gracious to greet us and available if needed. Be sure to check out the red notebook for local information. Our first trip to main, so it was helpful finding things to see and do. Highly recommend Anglar's restaurant.

This is a perfect home for being on the water in Maine. Very relaxing and a very well appointed property. This home is close to many activities and sights to see in Maine. Our family loved it so much they wanted us to see if the owners would sell it. We will be back.

Magnificent place to stay!

We loved this place for our second visit! The place has everything you could possibly need and the large screened in porch is heavenly to watch nature and the ocean. Part of our party love fishing and they had great success! Caught fish that aren’t even supposed to be in the bay! The grandkids love playing in the ocean! So many great places to visit and eat at nearby!

Maine Beauty

We absolutely found the best of Maine in this home located on Penobscot Bay. We had everything we needed from the well equipped kitchen to the outdoor furniture for sitting and enjoying the views. This home is centrally located along the coast allowing us to do day trips down to Boothbay Harbor or up to Acadia National Park. It was the perfect place to relax and take in the best Maine has to offer!

From our first visit in 2017, we knew the house was someone's home. It has become our July (for a few weeks) home. Everything we could want is there. Everything we need is there--quiet, beauty, space to be alone, space to gather everyone. There is even room for fairies in the garden.
