Location: Brunswick, Portland & Casco Bay, Maine, USA (5 Minutes from the Town of Brunswick, 40 Minutes to Portland)

Keywords: Cottage
Imagine walking out to the dock and catching stripers, putting a kayak in or having a swim at mid-high tide... From inside, enjoy the water views and the morning sunrises. Or simply enjoy the views & deck above while sitting in the Adirondack chairs.
This little hidden salt-water's edge cottage, is on the bank of Maine's New Meadows River. It is perfect for a comfortable, relaxing waterfront get away and is one of the most beautiful areas you can be at for the money!
The cottage sleeps 4-6: two bedrooms with one queen bed and two comfortable twin beds and a premium-quality full-size futon in the scenic living room overlooking the river. Full bath (shower), modern kitchenette with all amenities, outside entertainment deck with a charcoal grill & picnic table looking out at the water.
There are stairs down to the dock and it is tidal waterfront. This area is known for the best kayaking and fishing around and within moments you can be on an island and paddle into the Winnegance Bay or at the famous basin.
Convenience is a key feature of the house. You can be at Thomas Point Beach within 3-4 minutes for a fun day on the beach. You’re less than 5 minutes to Cooks Corner in Brunswick, which has all the shopping you could want.
Five minutes south on Route 1 brings you to Brunswick with some unique shops, truly fine, yet casual, restaurants -- and the museums and sites to explore at Bowdoin College should a rainy day befall your stay.
Maine Summer Theatre is on Bowdoin campus. Freeport (think: LL Bean) is another ten minutes south and Portland is an easy 45 minutes from the house. Portland is a wonderful, small city with much to offer.
Harpswell itself is a great town to explore. Bowdoin has an ocean study center on Orr's Island with easy trails to the water. Over the unique crib stone bridge lies Bailey Island, which also has town beaches and a walking path to the Giant’s Steps, a rock formation high on a cliff overlooking the ocean.
Five minutes north of Cooks Corner on Route 1 brings you to Bath, a maritime center with shops, museums, and restaurants. Down East Maine extends before you along Route 1. Reid and Popham Beach State Parks are nearby, both fun to explore with good beaches.
Beyond Bath lie Boothbay Harbor, Damariscotta, and all of mid-coast Maine -- easy day trips. Three miles to the south is the quaint, working fishing village of Cundy's Harbor with its lobster pounds, small eateries, and open ocean.

Maine in September

My husband and I just stayed at this cottage for a first time Maine experience. We really enjoyed the deck over looking the water and watching the tides change. The cabin is a nice place to come "home" to after a day exploring Maine. We did a day trip each day to come back in the evening and just relax instead of being in a small motel room. We explored Bar Harbor, Bath, Boothbay,Kennebunkport,Freeport,Portland,and Baileys Island and Cook's Corner. Lots of good food (of course Lobster) and two nights just stayed home after a day of shopping and sightseeing and enjoyed a bottle of wine and pasta . We recommend this cottage for those that what the true Maine experience. Nothing fancy but basic and nice. Well worth the money,

We liked this vacation retreat that we have already booked two weeks for next summer with the owners...very quiet, and extremely comfortable, with all the comforts of home. Within a very short drive of 5 to 10 minutes are stores that meet all your needs, and going the other way are Baily's Island and Orr's Island...simply awsome. Truly a gem in the rough, and a real pleasure to experience.

We had a wonderful time at this cottage for our summer vacation get-away. If you like peace, quiet and the tranquility of maine skyline and waterviews, you'll enjoy this cottage. We rented a canoe and enjoyed the ease and usefulness of the dock. We had fantastic weather during our stay. Only one torrential downpour late one afternoon, then the skies brightened to give way to a beautiful rainbow that appeared over the water. phenomenal! Cottage was clean and close to some good eats! We highly recommend a stay here and hope to get back soon!

This is a wonderful cottage. Very cozy and comfortable. Very clean and all the household items that we needed. Beautiful sunrises and lots of birdlife to watch. Very quiet location, but close to shopping, movies, bowling, Freeport and 30 minutes to Portland. We stayed here during our transition when moving back to Maine from Florida. We highly recommend the cottage for comfort and location.

Lovely cottage, serene setting with lots of wildlife and minute by minute river happenings. Close to many great restaurants and lots of other scenic and historic spots to explore. The property is clean and very well maintained. The owners could not have been more helpful. I highly recommend it.

We stayed for just over two months in 2007 during our transition from our move from California to Maine. This is an ideal cottage if you want to relax and enjoy the scenic view for a few days, a few weeks or longer!. The location is favorable to access the many activities and attractions of mid-coast Maine - i.e. Bailey Island, Orr's Island, Bath and the Maine Maritime Museum, Freeport and L.L. Bean and many others! The cottage is clean, comfortable and cozy. My husband and I highly recommend this cottage!!
