About this property

Reserve your week at this stunning, recently-built waterfront cabin in Cushing, Maine. You'll vacation away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to all the amenities that Mid-coast Maine has to offer. We offer 7-night rentals from Saturday to Saturday. If this property is already booked for the dates you want, check out our sister-property - VRBO Listing #2032938. The Cabin on Back Cove is located 15 minutes away in Waldoboro, Maine. If you're in the mood for a quiet day, read on the deck at the cottage, rent a kayak in nearby Friendship, venture down to either the Friendship or Cushing Harbors to buy lobsters right off the boat, visit the Olson House immortalized in the Wyeth painting 'Christina's World' or take a scenic nature walk or bike ride around Pleasant or Davis Points. If you feel like traveling further afield, peruse the Farnsworth Art Museum and waterfront in Rockland, visit Marshall Point Lighthouse (of Forrest Gump fame for the pop culture set) in Port Clyde on the St. George Peninsula, take home beautiful handmade wooden items from the State Prison Shop in Thomaston, visit the Transportation Museum in Owl's Head, enjoy the restaurants and shops in picturesque Camden, wait in line and contribute to the traffic near Red's Eats in Wiscasset or check out the sea life at the Maine State Aquarium in Boothbay. L.L. Bean and the outlet stores in Freeport, Monhegan Island, Portland, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are great day-trip destinations.
To access the cabin, you must climb a full flight of eleven stairs. Once inside, everything is on one floor.
There is no dock or mooring available with this rental.
If you choose the Book Now option, please include the full names and ages of the members of your group so we can make up the Rental Agreement immediately.

Well-equipped house in a beautiful location

House is well-equipped and comfortable. Location is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay very much. It would be nice if there were access to the little beach in front at low tide without climbing over the slippery rocks. We had an issue with the oven, but it was resolved quickly. The refrigerator was inconsistent but we were asked not to make adjustments. Some items in the main refrigerator were frozen; items in the freezer were not.

Peaceful place in a great location

We loved our week-long stay in this well-appointed cabin! We woke up to the seagulls every day, took some nice walks in the woods at nearby nature preserves, went to 2 of Maine’s prettiest lighthouses, and enjoyed lots of lobster. The only drawback is that most restaurants are a good drive away and need a bit of planning in the evening. The cabin is comfortable and the two living areas are nice for a variety of indoor activities. There is also good engagement from the owners who supplied a nice guide to the area. Would definitely book again!

Yet another gem!

Cottage spacious and homey, especially loved the separate tv room filled w/dvds, puzzles, books etc. Once the sun shined wrap around deck was nice. Like the Waldoboro site I would highly recommend this cottage.

Relaxing

I was unsure if I wanted to stay in Portland or away closer to Northern Maine and Canada. I am glad we stayed here because we were close enough to some bigger towns so we could enjoy a little city life and we were just far enough away where we got away from the tourist traps.

Midcoast Maine

We really enjoyed our stay! The home was spotless, had lots of windows and great views, comfortable master bed, well-stocked kitchen and bathroom. Owner left detailed instructions and a very helpful guide to the area. We enjoyed exploring many of the coastal towns during our stay. So much to see and do in this area and staying in Cushing was a great home-base for our trip. Thank you, DeMiceli’s!

100% Comfortable and Relaxing

This shorefront cottage is probably the nicest experience I've had with VRBO or Airbnb. 100% satisfied. Many nice things to make it home to us. Very well designed, organized, clean, complete, with nice touches everywhere. I found myself constantly peering through the trees to look at sail and lobster boats, and I took many photos of the tides, sunsets, birds and boat traffic. Thanks you Rebecca and Jeff for this opportunity and for your contacts.

Lovely Maine property with woodsy, water views from spacious deck & generous windows

We especially enjoyed water views including of the Great Blue Heron who visited almost daily. We appreciated how thoughtfully well stocked this vacation rental was! The deck was our favorite hang-out space which offered comfortable seating. The host was open to our recommendation about additional shade for hot, sunny, summer days. Providing recycling bins was helpful as it eliminated the need to transport recyclables back home. The host was timely & responsive to questions and even had a welcome gift waiting on our arrival. She also offered us an earlier check-in once the property was ready. The Great Room & TV room had lovely woodsy, water views. The coffee drinker appreciated a substantive coffee pot VS the hotel style with coffee pods. A well functioning toaster oven in kitchen was also well utilized. User-friendly door access with code VS lock box with hidden key (frustrating as they often don’t work well). We enjoyed our stay here.

Spectacular!

The cabin was immaculate and so well appointed. The bed was super comfy and the feeling of space with the walls of windows and high ceiling was lovely. A highlight was sitting among the tree canopy on the deck and sitting on the bench near the water watching the birds and flow of the tides. The location was convenient for mid-coast exploration but far enough off the beaten path for tranquility.

Lovely Cabin on the Point

We had a great week! The cabin is very nice, with pretty much all you need for a Maine vacation! The beds are comfy, the kitchen was easy to work in, and the washer/dryer was much appreciated. We took advantage of the fire pit several nights (delightful.) We did have a bit of trouble finding it (as warned by the host) but once you get there it’s easy to navigate. The view is really special, lobster boats and sailboats, and of course sunset. Thank you!

Wonderful environment away from it all.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely cabin. The property was spotless, extremely comfortable, and had everything we needed. We like to cook so the well-equipped kitchen was amazing. It's the only rental we've ever had where we didn't have to sharpen kitchen knives! The large deck is outstanding. We spent a lot of time there enjoying the wild life, the proximity of the water, and the overall peacefulness, not to forget The sunsets! The owners are so easy to deal with. They communicate well, and even provided a tailored printed guide to the property and the many places to see in the surrounding area. Overall, our experience was wonderful.

Our hosts also put together a local guide that was a valuable tool on where to go and what to do... When we return to Maine (from North Carolina it's quite a hike) we'll definitely stay here again...

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca and Jeff DeMiceli

Your proprietors are Jeff and Rebecca.
Rebecca has been coming to Cushing and Friendship, Maine for the summer since she was an infant, like her father and grandmother before her. Jeff and Rebecca met in late 2003. Jeff first came to Maine during the summer of 2004, and the trip quickly became a huge part of his life as well. Rebecca and Jeff got married in 2010, after getting engaged the previous summer in a rowboat while floating in Muscongus Bay as fireworks from nearby Friendship Day illuminated the night sky. When Rebecca’s aunt and uncle decided to sell the property in 2012, Rebecca and Jeff jumped at the chance to own their own piece of Maine waterfront. Sadly, the existing cabin on the property was in serious disrepair and not salvageable. Rebecca and Jeff seized the opportunity to make the property truly their own and designed and built the cabin you see in the pictures. They, along with family and friends, built the cabin from the ground up during the summer of 2013. Jeff and Rebecca are thrilled to continue the tradition of summers in Maine with their own children, Vincent James, who was born in June 2014 and Vienna Leigh, who was born in May 2016. The finishing touches to the cabin were completed in early August 2015.

Why they chose this property

Family own the two adjacent properties so there is always a friendly face nearby! The cabin is new with all the modern conveniences but homey and comfortable.
