About this property
Genuine Maine Coast Cottage Experience - Stunning views of Penobscot Bay
Breezing Up is a comfortable original 100+ year old cottage. This lovely, traditional cedar shingled property overlooks Rockland Harbor and Penobscot Bay. Awe inspiring sunrises over the ocean to the east and gorgeous sunsets in the west. Sleeps up to 7 in airy open bedrooms. Summer season only, as this is an uninsulated classic wood cottage with no central heat or A/C, but its hilltop location lends itself to cool breezes when needed. Convenient to nearby beaches, shopping, art galleries, museums, hiking, boating, fine dining, and all that mid-coast Maine has to offer.
Spend time in the rocking chairs on the front porch, gazing over the harbor enjoying a meal or drink with family and friends.
Enjoy a nice tub or the outdoor shower (hot and cold water), but no long showers as this original structure supports only a 20 gal. hot water heater. Small but fully functional kitchen lends itself to home cooked meals, or boiling your own lobster dinner.
