About this property

We are open and taking reservations for 2023. Check our calendar for available dates.

Comfortable and roomy three bedroom, one bath cottage; master with queen bed and side bedrooms with two twin beds in each make this is a very family friendly home. The living room has a woodstove, plenty of books, and also a queen sleeper couch for extra guests. The bathroom has recently been renovated. The country kitchen is fully equipped with dishes and cleaning supplies. A lobster pot and propane gas cooker are available as well in addition to the propane gas grill on the front deck.

Filtered views to the islands, cove, and harbor entrance give breathtaking sights of sailboats and working lobster boats out front. At night you can hear the harbor bell buoy or see the lights from boats, buoys and lighthouses. In 2018 we added a firepit that tenants seem to enjoy, and overall seems to enhance your outdoor experience.

The general store is a pleasant half-mile’s walk, where you will also find restaurants, a post office, the town landing – and a short distance further the town office and large library. Kayaking in the harbor and cove out front is easy and rentals are available locally. The town landing is available free for all water craft. Drift Inn Beach is close by and provides a sandy, family-friendly setting.

Enjoy secured wifi, a TV, DVD player, and puzzles and family games. Work on your laptop while sitting in the warm sun of the deck or snooze in the adirondack chairs out front.

We appreciate you not smoking inside the cottage. We’re sure you’ll enjoy our cottage as much as our many returning guests do.

Perfect Maine cottage

Judy’s Red Cottage is the perfect old fashioned Maine vacation cottage! Our family of 6 had a wonderful week here, making great memories on the beach and nearby adorable towns. The cottage is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of games and books for rainy days. The cottage is exactly as described, and we wouldn’t change a thing about it. Already looking forward to coming back next summer!

It felt like camping!

There was plenty of room for my husband, my friend and me to spread out in a three bedroom cottage. We loved the porch with the ocean view. The Bowens were very helpful in directing us to fresh caught lobster and the cottage was well supplied with equipment to cook said lobsters. The weather was perfect for the entire week. Location was woodsy so we were plagued with mosquitoes, especially at sunset when we were eating our lobsters out on the porch.

Relaxing and beautiful

The cottage is sweet and cozy. Judy and Fred are amazing. The view of the harbor is incredible. Drift Inn beach is great. Marshall point lighthouse is lovely. Port Clyde Christian Church is awesome. The area is full of great people and things to do for an adventurous, outdoorsy family. We rented a kayak and went out to High Island. Everything was great, and Judy and Fred are truly stellar hosts.

An authentic Maine cottage Experience

Staying in the red cottage was a delight! The view of the harbor is spectacular. This is a way to experience a Maine summer the way it used to be. We loved the outdoor spaces, the charming children’s rooms, the incredible collection of books. A great space and location for friends and family. Very grateful we found it. Judy and Fred could not have been more helpful.

Perfect spot for exploring the mid-coast

We loved our stay at the Red Cottage, rustic and comfortable, as was our queen bed! We slept so well. It really is a great location for going out to one of the islands or the Camden Hills or the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland. The view of the water from the porch and the fire pit gave me such pleasure.

Perfect cottage.

We could’ve stayed in this little cottage for weeks. Felt at home immediately. Judy and Frank were wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome and we really appreciated how seriously they are taking cleanliness during the pandemic. Everything was just right from the idyllic ocean views through the living room picture window to the fire pit to the walls of books for any indoor days. We hope to come back someday soon.

Cozy cottage and area

Great location and place to enjoy that area of mid-coast Maine. Weather - cool and damp on several days - didn't keep us from enjoying the towns and lighthouses and villages, etc.

A beautiful view and well maintained property

We stayed at the little red cottage over Memorial Day weekend while we were in Tenants Harbor for a family wedding. The cottage is surprisingly roomy and very clean. And what a view! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay there again if our travels bring us back up that way.

Relaxing

There are beautiful views right out the front window. Judith and Fred are just lovely people. If I would live anywhere in Maine it would be in Port Clyde. We had a wonderful visit. I would highly recommend staying at the Red Cottage!

Everything you dream Maine can be

Lovely family cottage with ocean views nestled in a woodsy neighborhood. What we most loved was bring able to easily access the beaches and lighthouses and antique shops (and authentic lobster places!), without having the tourist summer maine experience. We felt a part of a friendly community yet on a peaceful retreat. Wonderful host that made us feel like it was truly our house for our stay. We cant wait to come back. Months later and our 3 year old keeps asking when we're going to the "red house".

Perfect Summer Getaway!

This charming cottage provided the perfect summer getaway for me and my family. We enjoyed the quiet wooded setting, ocean views, blueberry patch, walks along the rocky coast, nearby beaches, lighthouses, seeing lobstermen, fog, sounds of buoys, exploring for seashells, quaint villages and shops, beautiful and friendly neighborhood, and lobster! The cottage was bright, clean, and spacious, and had everything we needed, from a well-equipped kitchen, to comfortable beds, tons of books, puzzles and games, beach chairs, internet access, outdoor spigot for sandy toes, etc. We loved the cozy evenings by the fire and wonderful hospitality. This spot is truly a treasure!

About the host

Hosted by Judith Bowen

My husband and I have recently retired and have been renting this property for over twenty years. We love making it available for others to make their family memories come true. We are now working on the third generation of creating a special experience and hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

During the mid fifties my parents spent a long time combing the coast of Maine for that special spot that would become their home and legacy. Everyone who sees this area for the first time is taken by its beauty. Living here you feel like you are stepping back in time. People are friendly and work to make this a great community to visit and be a part of.
