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.

Beautiful private location on a picturesque point of upper Penobscot Bay with 200 views of the water. Lovely, well appointed cottage. We've enjoyed our stay here very much for the past 3 years.
We had a great time at this property in Stockton Springs. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the back porch and enjoying the beautiful weather. There is plenty to do and many wonderful restaurants in the vicinity. Communication was great and Kate is a lovely host.
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! So glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! You picked a great time to visit as well. We hope to have you back.
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!!
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.

Wonderful Tom thank you! Very glad you enjoyed your stay.
The view, the large lawn, the privacy, and most especially the screened in porch make this a truly exceptional property. Enjoy meals on the porch or just enjoy the view of the water.

Thanks Jeff. We were so pleased to have you back this year.
The home was beautiful and accommodated our group of ten perfectly…would highly recommend this house for anyone. The house was very clean and well taken care of. The sleeping arrangements were perfect and the view from the house was beautiful!!
We had a fantastic week at your beautiful home. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us! The location was perfect for visiting with family in Belfast and exploring midcoast Maine. Sunrise on the bay was spectacular! Would definitely book this house again.

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.

Thanks for the review Jeff! Couldn’t agree more about the porch and views! We appreciate you taking such care during your stay and we would love for you to stay with us again.
We've been coming for years and one of the reasons is how comfortable the house is. Lots of room to move around in, comfortable chairs for sitting and that wonderful porch to watch the water. We'll be back again.
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! The fishing and water activities are enjoyed by many. And we always enjoy the surrounding communities, restaurants, and lighthouses! I would give it 10 stars if I could!
This home away from home is on the water, with a large yard. Home is roomy and yet feels cozy!! If you are looking for a place to enjoy with your family this is it!! Caretaker was great!!

Thanks Nancy! So glad you enjoyed your trip to ME!
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.

Glad to here it Linda, Anglers (which has had a few names now) has been a staple in our family for years and years! Hope you’ll come visit again soon.
This is our third visit and it certainly didn’t disappoint! Accommodations are 10 star and the location on the water is heavenly. Many in our party caught striper and the kids loved the water! Others canoed and kayaked! And we ate well!!

Thanks Jane! Glad you all enjoyed the water and had success with the fish!
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.
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!
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!

Appreciate the kind review and glad you were able to get in as much Maine as possible.
We should not live for our vacations, but my family does. This home is lovely to be in, set on a very private, bayside property with a quiet that restores us--all of us. For us, it is perfection.
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.

Beautiful. Thank you so much Jane. ❤️. I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Well equipped comfortable home in a great location
We've stayed here a number of years always coming back because the house is comfortable and quiet, we're always taken well care of, and the view from the screened in porch is wonderful. This year was no different.
