Beautiful, Private Cottage Five Minute Walk to the Beach

Situated in McFarland's Cove, this peaceful and comfortable cottage is the perfect setting for a family vacation. Set 300' off a private road, the cottage is nestled in the woods with back views of Poor House Cove. A short walk across the street brings you to the front cove and the rocky beach of the McFarland Cove Association, a private and sheltered swimming area. A short walk out the back of the cottage brings you to the peaceful back cove with kayaking, canoeing and fishing opportunities. The cottage features a bedroom and full bath on the first floor with the remaining 2 bedrooms and other full bath on the second floor. A washer and dryer are located on the first floor. A canoe is available for use by renters. The cottage is furnished simply but comfortably. We now have a monitor for heating on those cool nights and chilly early mornings. The cottage has a rear deck providing a comfortable place for peaceful contemplation of Poorhouse Cove, which is directly behind the house. With Christmas Cove and Pemaquid Point nearby (about 10-15 minutes' drive), this summer rental is well placed for access to all mid-coast area activities.
