About this property

Kayaks, eagles, seals all with a private beach and cottage on the Ocean!

Secluded, oceanfront cottage on Cobscook Bay with spectacular views on ten wooded acres. Large skipping stone beach, ideal for ocean kayaking. Abundant animal wildlife, huge Bay of Fundy influenced tides (20 plus feet), great stone fireplace, and large kitchen woodstove. Third bedroom is loft with three double beds and a double futon. Outdoor porch, great for relaxing and viewing nature at its best. (We often see bald eagles and seals). Public boat access ramp within one-quarter mile of the cottage.

We often alternate between relaxing days at the cottage and easy day trips to Eastport, Maine (the easternmost City in the United States), Saint Andrews, Canada (a beautiful coastal town reminiscent of Bar Harbor, Maine 40 years ago, with an excellent Golf Course - St Andrews by the Sea) and Campobello Island, Canada (see link below) - summer home of Franklin Roosevelt, great beaches and bike trails, excellent Golf course - Herring Cove. Deep sea fishing and whale watching tours out of Eastport with Eastport Windjammers

Beautiful and peaceful
This is a truly beautiful location for a Maine camp house set on a bluff with views that are ever changing and wonderful! We stayed here a few years ago and were thrilled to be back. The porch and little patio are peaceful and serene. Thank you Caryn for being so easy to contact and responsive too!

Maine Camp Magic
This is our third stay in a gorgeous spot with almost absolute privacy, We enjoyed bird watching, meet and greet with the neighborhood seals and fires in the fireplace. This is the true camp experience.

Loved our stay here
Loved our stay at this little gem. The location couldn’t have been better as we were looking for a private spot with not a lot of noise and a beautiful pristine setting which this ticked all the boxes. The house is well equipped with everything you might need. Pet friendly our dog loved it. Super quiet. At certain times of the year having four-wheel-drive would be helpful as the driveway going up in spots is steep. We saw eagles, hummingbirds, seals and very few people which was exactly what we were looking for. The view is just amazing. We hope to go back again… Response from the property manager was quick and very helpful. Don’t miss lobster at Betty’s. We did a lot of traveling while there using the house as homebase. We went to Ministers Island, which if you have a chance don’t miss… Into Canada a couple of times. Just a wonderful week.

The perfect retreat
We’ve been going to this area for many years - this cabin is perfect. Rustic, relaxing, a beautiful view. We kayaked on sunny days, had a fire in the cabin during the rainy days. Such a great spot on the bay!

Peaceful, secluded, private cottage
We loved our stay at this little gem. The description is spot-on. It has a very loved old family summer cabin vibe. We loved having coffee and cocktails on the incredible porch watching the wildlife and ever-changing landscape, and listening to the water lap below us just a few feet away. You can literally hear the flapping wings of eagles as they fly by. It’s also a glorious spot for watching the moon set. Having the private beach was incredible. We sat for hours just reading, fishing, and watching seals, eagles, and birds. We had our 3 dogs with us and they adored just wandering and exploring. You could stay at the cottage and never see a human being with the exception of one or two boats that go by. There is almost no boat traffic so it is incredibly quiet. Eastport is just a short 20 minute drive, where you can find a grocery store, restaurants, boat excursions and lovely galleries. The little kitchen is modest but has everything you need. We cooked all but one meal there and wanted for nothing. Find Betty’s Crabs just down the road!!! We made a feast of lobster, crabs, and scallops one night. Her prices were fantastic and the quality was excellent. She also has fresh eggs! Hopefully the new grill will be set up soon. It’s the only thing we wished we had.

Great Little Cottage
We enjoyed our stay in this rustic little cottage. The location was amazing sitting right on the edge of the water and so wonderfully isolated. The beach below was so fun to explore. We found sea glass and pretty shells everyday. The cottage itself was very comfortable with mismatched rustic furniture that blended together perfectly. We loved having fires in the fireplace and sitting on the covered porch watching the bald eagles and visiting hummingbirds. We visited the towns of Eastport, Lubec, Campobello Island and Saint Andrew while we were there. Eastport has a great grocery store if you need supplies while you are there. Bring binoculars if you have them! The only reason I am giving this property less than 5 stars is that it needs a deep cleaning. There was dust "bunnies" under the beds, beside furniture, etc and numerous old cobwebs. The collectables throughout the cottage were also in need of dusting. I also recommend that a working smoke/CO2 alarm be installed. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in such a special place!

Wonderfully Quite Get A Way
This is our second visit to this location and we were as equally please as the first time. If you are looking for a rustic, cozy, quiet cottage with a fantastic view of the ocean and a private beach, this is the place to be. We certainly appreciated the internet upgrade and new mattresses from the last time we stayed. Thanks for allowing us to stay!

A magical week by the bay.
The unique location by the water offers privacy, and immerses you in Maine shoreline life. We saw seals, had a bald eagle fly by the porch and enjoyed many hours on our own beach.

Maine cottage
The cottage is very private and isolated. It needed to be cleaner. Cobwebs everywhere and it is musty smelling. I think all of the quilts on the beds Could use a good washing along with the curtains. Too many old books everywhere. It looks like some of them have been there as long as the cabin Has and when you moved some of the books silverfish bugs would crawl out of them. The view is absolutely beautiful, The fireplace was very nice. There is not a lot to do there but it is close to go into town. We played cards and did use the kayaks, it was also nice to have Internet access to be able to watch movies/ TV on our phones. Overall we enjoyed this day.

Peaceful
We have stayed here at least ten times. We love the peace, privacy, views, and porch sitting. Our dogs love the beach. There’s wonderful seafood nearby, we had fresh lobster and crab. The house wasn’t very well cleaned when we arrived, that’s a first, but I’m sure that can be remedied.

Awesome location
Awesome location and a great rustic cabin!!! I’m assuming we were the first guests of the season due to the fact that it needed a little more time for cleanliness, cobwebs and spiders between the studs at floor and floor joists when your laying in bed looking up, this is the only reason we are giving it a 4 star rating in lieu of a 5, all in all it was a great place.
