Delight in the occasional sighting of harbor seals and dolphins. Enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Learn about the working lobster/fishing harbor while watching the fishing vessels travel in and out of the bay.

Should you venture out, there are many activities right here in our coastal town of Steuben and the neighboring seaside village of Milbridge. Enjoy Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge in Steuben, and featuring over 2100 acres, coastal islands, and open-to-the public blueberry barrens, this is a wonderful spot for self-guided walks and hikes, amazing opportunities for bird watching, and the occasional sighting of moose and bear. Pigeon Hill offers a short and rewarding hike leading to the summit and breathtaking views of the peninsulas, islands and ocean.

Private and relaxed, our cottage is located in a wonderfully peaceful area situated on the Dolly Head portion of Gouldsboro Bay. Our non-smoking cottage will sleep 5-7 and is equipped with a master bedroom, a bunk room, a cozy single bed room and a sleeper sofa.

In the village center, Steuben offers a wonderful and charming local library in the historic H.D Moore Parish House, galleries and antique shopping. A convenience store is located four miles away on Route one in Steuben. In Milbridge you will find convenient access to a grocery store, drug store and banking. Also in Milbridge you can stroll down the sidewalks and browse at several gift shops including the very well stocked "The Cinnamon Stick." Here you may also take in a movie at the Milbridge Theater in the evening or grab a bite to eat - there are several eateries in Milbridge, including the local summer favorite "Joshy’s" for the occasional drive-in fish fry and ice cream sundae!

On the nearby Schoodic Peninsula, you will enjoy exploring Schoodic Point (part of Acadia National Park), and local Gouldsboro organic Darthia Farm and Mandala Farm. In South Gouldsboro, Moose Outlook Guide Service offers outdoor adventures and kayak rentals. Jones Pond offers delightful freshwater swimming, a fantastic playground and picnicking. The coastal town of Winter Harbor provides access to ferry service to Nova Scotia and Bar Harbor, and has a beautiful walking village featuring antiques and art galleries, unique shopping, and several eateries. Any item you could ever hope of needing can be found at the Winter Harbor 5 and 10, and the delightful provision store and café, J.M. Gerrish’s, is a wonderful resting point after all your Schoodic Peninsula adventures. Also in Winter Harbor is Hammond Hall, home of the local arts organization Schoodic Arts for All. All through the summer SAFA hosts art, music and theatre events and workshops. Check their website for more information.

Not far from Steuben and to the North there you will find fabulous hiking in the Tunk Preserve - explore Black, Caribou and Schoodic Mountains with trails and adjoining lakes, ponds, rivers and streams, of which Spring River lake in particular offers pristine and private swimming and canoeing. Or visit the famous Bartlett State Winery, on your way to the Schoodic area, featuring delightful fruit wines.
For daytrips, visit Bar Harbor (50 minutes) and Acadia National Park, or traveling East and along the coast you can explore Campobello Island, FDR’s summer home (60 minutes), and Canada (70 minutes) - be sure to bring your passport! Quoddy Head State Park, the easternmost point and lighthouse in the United States, in the same area, is breathtaking and another wonderful hiking destination.
