Cozy waterfront log cottage with huge outdoor living area.

Completely escape to this 100 year old oceanfront log cottage. Astonishingly cozy with a classic rustic feel but updated with a modern kitchen and amenities. This cottage is one spacious room with a queen bed and pull out couch. The well equipped kitchen is a separate room. Perfect for a couple looking for a quiet getaway or a small family in search of a seaside adventure.
Enjoy the expansive deck that sits over the water at high tide. Watch Bald Eagles and Osprey fish for hours. Paddle the protected cove on the two, single-person kayaks provided for your use. Fish, swim, launch the kayaks, and stargaze from the dock. You will not find a more peaceful spot to refresh and reset.

Delightful

The cabin is perfectly cozy and the setting is a nature-lover's delight. You can watch the sun rise from your bed, have cocktails on the enormous deck while you watch the crabs come out, leaping fish and birds galore (including a bald eagle). We loved our stay and our hosts - we encourage anyone to take advantage of a fantastic meal a short stroll up the hill when you stay. Loved it!

Great little cabin off the beaten path.

We enjoyed our stay at this little cabin. We liked the deck overlooking the water for our morning coffee. We didn't prepare any meals here other than cold breakfasts but there is a kitchen with plenty of pots and pans available. There are tons of local lobster shacks and restaurants nearby. I highly recommend visiting Pemaquid Seafood, south Bristol lobsterman's wharf and Shannon's unshelled express in Boothbay if you want great lobster. We also visited Glidden oyster farm and learned about oyster farming. Pemaquid lighthouse was also a great place to visit while you're in the area.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this cozy, private little cabin, which looks out over the water from what is perhaps the best site in mid-coast Maine. We made liberal use of the deck for meals, reading and relaxing and explored the estuary from the two kayaks provided. The owners, who operate an event space on the property, are cordial and responsive. We look forward to coming back.

A Peaceful Paradise

From the moment we arrived at the cottage we fell in love with the location, the large private deck on the water and the charm of the interior. The large picture window that overlooked the deck provided an excellent opportunity to view a living work of art. The large fireplace, fully furnished kitchen and touches of decorative items placed inside added to the homey feel. The fan provided cooling from the late morning sun. The owners were wonderful being informative and supportive. We have already made plans to return to this gem next year!!

PEACEFUL GETAWAY

If you want QUIET, this is the perfect place. All we could hear was the sounds of the ocean. Loved waking up to the sound of boats and sea life. At high tide the deck is actually OVER the water. You seriously can’t get closer to the ocean than this. AND- they don’t cheap out on the toilet paper! 😜

Rare gem

I did not think properties like this still existed!! The cabin is perfectly nostalgic yet covers all bases of modern conveniences (no TV, never missed it). And then there’s the view!!!! The water is right outside and the picture window and large deck accommodate this beautifully. The location is close to several small quaint towns with eateries and shops that exude Maine. As beautiful as this cabin’s front yard is, you may just choose to stay and soak it in. The owners are available, yet they stay back and respect your privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we truly hope to return again…and stay longer.

A hidden treasure

A peaceful, magical retreat where great blue heron hang out and an occasional seal visits. A place where sky and water greet you when you wake and soothe and entertain you throughout your stay. A quiet, secluded and charming cabin. The peninsula’s in the area are easy to explore and steeped with history and beauty. Great food is easy to find and the locals are friendly and helpful.

Peaceful getaway

In our experience this is one of the most beautiful places we have visited. The cabin on the cove was private, with an amazing view from the windows and large deck. We enjoyed the kayaks but mainly watching the tides, birds wood duck family and shooting stars. The cabin was as described, with a well equipped kitchen and a comfortable bed. A perfect couple getaway. Lots of wonderful trails and places to eat lobster.

Serene setting

We had a wonderful time here. The cabin is right on the water, and there was an abundance of wildlife to watch. The location in S Bristol was perfect for us- we have friends and family here- and like to be able to get on the water and get groceries with ease. The cabin itself is magical, and it felt like stepping inside a folk tale. The doorways are low, as is common in old Maine homes. My husband is tall, so we put bright tape up to remind him to duck- an easy fix!

A Quiet Cove in Maine

This cozy waterfront cabin directly on the water was a perfect getaway for my husband and I. Lots of peace and quiet, comfortable bed, free use of 2 kayaks off the private dock on the property, beautiful hiking trails less than 10 minutes drive away, and about 45 minute drive to Boothbay. Our host Rick was warm and friendly and accessible if we had any questions. We love this area of Maine and our stay was wonderful!

Charming Cottage on the Water. This place has adorable vintage vibes (from the fairy land feel of the moss on the stairs to the vaulted wooden interior) but is clean and well cared for. The view across the water is lovely, and the waters are calm and quiet, making it a peaceful place to use the quality kayaks. We woke up each morning and had coffee on the expansive deck, ventured out during the day, and ended the evening dining on fresh lobster outside near the water in several of the neighboring towns. The owner is communicative and so generous to share this special spot.

Quiet, peaceful

Loved our stay at the cabin! It was so quiet and relaxing. You don't really notice how much noise pollution exists in our daily lives until the incessant background din is gone, and you can finally truly relax and listen to the wind in the trees and the sounds of nature. We slept so well here, in part because of the quiet, but also the bed is sooo comfy! We kayaked around the bay 3 times, and once a seal popped up out of the water 20 feet in front of my husband. It was great! Communication with the hosts was super easy, everything went smoothly and we would love to stay here again. One thing to note, there are no keys to the cabin, which was fine, but was surprising coming from a city where you're always watching behind you... It does lock from the inside with a deadbolt for at night. It was fine, we felt safe, it was just different than we are used to. Thanks for the great stay!
