Christmas Cove cottage
Hand crafted by a Ship’s Captain at the turn of the century, this classic Victorian is one block from the shores of picturesque Christmas Cove on Rutherford Island. Christmas Cove is known as one of Maine’s prettiest harbors, the destination of many yachtsmen, and a wonderful summer community.
Christmas Cove is easily accessed over a swing bridge from the working harbor town of South Bristol.
The Coveside Bar, Restaurant and Marina is two blocks away. Coveside has a outdoor deck and indoor dining rooms, a classic Maine bar overlooking Christmas Cove Harbor.
Access to dingy docks and mooring rentals are available at the Coveside Marina. South Bristol, the historic working fishing village, is moments away and offers additional dining and shopping options.
The house has been fully remodeled including a gourmet kitchen. It exudes New England charm and is very well appointed including classic Maine antiques, down pillows/comforters, two phone lines, and high speed internet access.
There are two decks including a large covered porch with a screened in eating area. The house is surrounded by a large lawn and has access to wooded areas on three sides with occasional water views through the trees.
In addition to the full bathroom and two half bathrooms there is an outdoor shower form those warm Maine days.

Wonderful week at Christmas Cove Cottage
Guest: Nicole

Date of Stay: 06/27/11

The cottage is so charming and well appointed. Beautifully decorated and very well kept. It's off the beaten path, but suitable as a home base for visiting the Midcoast region. Upon our arrival there were fresh cut flowers on the dining room table to welcome us. We enjoyed cooking many of our meals in the large cook's kitchen. There's a deck off the kitchen where we liked to grill on warm evenings, as well as a large screened in area to dine al fresco. The front porch was the perfect place to relax and listen to the birds or the foghorn and decompress after a long day of touring. The yard surrounding the house is nice for youngsters to run off some energy. Our son loved his big room with a library of storybooks for bedtime, plus toys and games to play. The owner is very friendly and provided lots of useful information about the area, and promptly answered all my questions. We wish we could have stayed longer. It was a great family holiday and we would love to return next year.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers.
