The Midcoast is perhaps the best place to start exploring Maine's 5,000 miles of coastline including it's numerous inlets, fishing villages and bays along with over 2,000 islands. Locally Wyeth landscapes abound and with the Olson House and the Farnsworth Museum just a few miles from the cottage. Other nearby attractions are a ferry to Monhegan Island, perhaps the most beautiful of Maine's islands. Great shops, restaurants, lighthouses and parks are a short distance away. Other activies in the area are whale watching, puffin boat rides along with helicopter, glider and plane rides. Experience a cruise aboard one of Maine's historic windjammers and explore the islands and lighthouses. There are nearby lakes for swimming and boating. Mountains are at the edge of the sea for climbing. Acadia Natl. Park, the nation's second most popular park is about two hrs. away. New England's largest botanical coastal gardens are nearby. Dining on the Midcoast is outstanding. Enjoy the local seafood in an informal setting sitting outdoors on a dock or choose an intimate setting in a sophisticated dining room that offers world-class cuisine. Lobster, crabs, mussels and clams along with finfish can often be purchased fresh off the boat. Some of the best shopping can be found in Camden and Rockland. Explore dozens of shops filled with treasures of all kinds. If an adventure is what you are after, this is the place to find it. If it's a quiet time you are seeking this is the place. Bring a good book and sit by the water's edge and relax to the sound of gulls passing overhead. The Maine coast is a jewel which includes Penobscot Bay, considered by many to be the most scenic body of water on the Atlantic coast. Don't miss it's treasures.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1997
The property is owned by Helen and Merritt Webster. After living in several states over the years including N.Y. Pa. and Tx. Helen retired to her favorite state, Maine. Maine is land of peace and beauty. One of Helen's passions is cooking. She and Merritt are both avid gardners and have created beautiful gardens on the property. Merritt is a native Mainer with sea-salt in his blood with many generations of sailers and fishermen preceeding him. He loves anything to do with the water and also enjoys woodworking. We both love nature and soak up as much as we can. We enjoy meeting new friends and look forward to meeting all our guests.
Living nearby, we are available to meet your needs and love to share our extensive knowledge of the area with our guests.
Why the Owner Chose Cushing
The rocky coast of Maine is a natural wonder. Looking out to the ledges and watching the seals sun themselves is just a part of why we chose this location and love sharing it with others.
The Unique Benefits of this cabin
Located at the end of a dirt road it is very quiet and peaceful. If you like to kayak, you have the perfect place here on the cove. If you like more adventure, just paddle out to the open ocean and catch a more exciting ride.
Nestled just sixty five feet from the water's edge, the view is lovely and ever changing. The sparkle of the water is magic. The osprey love to fish here and we often see our bald eagles fly past or perch in the tree.
It's a great place to read a good book, or just sit and relax.
