~ Peaceful And Quaint Family Cottage On An Island In Maine ~

This summer cottage on an island in Maine overlooks the beautiful Penobscot Bay. This rustic cottage has a moderate living space with a wood-burning stove, an inner porch with a great view of the bay, and a lot of family charm. The house was built in the 1930s by two sisters of the Allen family, who owned the property next to this one. This cottage has been passed down through the family and cherished by each generation. The entire property has a lovely view of the Penobscot Bay.
Amenities include: WiFi, beach access, shared driveway but private parking, w/d in home, dishwasher. There are only two markets on the island, so we suggest getting your groceries before embarking on your journey by way of ferry departing from Lincolnville (which runs from 8 am - 5 pm daily).

If you are looking for a calm, rustic retreat away from it all this is the cottage for you.

~ If your party needs a little extra room, we have an additional cabin for 2 on the property that you may also consider ~ See HomeAway Listing # 4210882 ~

Peace and Quiet.
Pros: Quiet. This is it if you are looking for quiet. The cottage: The glassed-in porch is the star. The windows open too. The kitchen is updated and a pleasure to cook in. The living room is very cozy at night. There was a musky smell when we 1st arrived, but went away quickly once all windows were open and never came back, but then again the windows were open the whole vacation. Cons: The view will be obstructed soon if the owner doesn't cut down some small trees, it seems without affecting the buffer zone. The outside grounds in general need a lot of TLC. The cottage was clean, but there was dog hair all over the bed blankets in one room. Would I stay there again, for $1,400? Yes, if the grounds were cleaned up and the view opened up.

Maine Cottage
We loved our stay at this fantastic Miane Coastal Cottage. The cottage has some much character and history. The deck was larger then we anticipated from the photos. Enjoyed the views from the deck and sun porch. Lots of places to hike and explore on the Island. We will be back!

Beautiful stay
The property worked great for us. Kayaking was great out in the bay and around the contour of the shore. Walks along the rocky shore was relaxing. The deck while small worked perfectly for us. Also the closed in porch was great to hangout in during the evening. The stairs to the shore while steep were not an issue. Kitchen was well stocked to meet our needs. Bedrooms worked for us (2 couples for 5 nights plus my adult son and his girlfriend for 2 nights).

A cottage with a view
We enjoyed staying at your cottage while we visited our grandchildren on Islesboro. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. The porch was our favorite place to hang out and play games. The view was spectacular. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

Journey back in time
We loved the peace and solitude of this island as well as the rustic family cabin. We read books, swam at the beach down the stairs as well as the town beach. We met some very nice neighbors and some friendly locals. We watched seals in the harbor, found star fish, shells, sea glass, and a sand dollar! We hiked a nearby trail, ate lobsters chosen fresh off the boat, shopped daily in both general stores. We had breakfast sandwiches and deli sandwiches from the Dark Harbor Shop. We truly appreciate the beautiful views and all the people we came across. Such a wonderful experience.

Tranquility at its finest
Located on a small bluff over a cove, this is the vacation we most look forward to each year ! Lobster off the boat, morning sunrises out the window, and the sound of waves lapping the shore melt away all stress from the daily grind. This location has become our favorite yearly getaway 💐

Sweet cottage in a quiet cove
This little cottage is as described. It’s a quaint coastal house high up on a ledge in a calm cove. The house is furnished with cozy, modest furnishings that are clean and comfortable and not too dear for children to use comfortably. Family photos decorate the walls. Cups, dishes, pots and pans are in abundance in the old kitchen cupboards. There are steep stairs to the water’s edge —lovely swimming in high tide, and wonderful exploring in low. This house is perfect for getting away from the distractions of the modern world. There are games and puzzles. No TV. Bring books, your knitting, sketching supplies or just sit and watch the sail boat with the saffron sail cover float around its mooring as the tide comes in and out. Isleboro is a very quiet island. No restaurants per se. There are two small markets, an ice cream shop, cafe, and a couple tiny shops where one can visit with lovely folks. People are friendly. Everyone waves on the road. There are protected walking trails, but no big hikes. Water close by everywhere you go. Drive slow.

Pure relaxation!
Lovely and relaxing cottage, great location in the woods, yet offers gorgeous bay views. If relaxation and peace is what you are looking for, this is it. Durkee’s store is conveniently right around the corner and is well stocked. We had a great time!
