Location: Orrs Island, Portland & Casco Bay, Maine, USA (10 Miles from Brunswick, ME)
Accommodations: Island Home, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
This brand-new cottage (2005) features elements not available anywhere else on the Harpswell peninsula. The living room is situated on the upper floor and offers a fantastic vista of the Atlantic through spacious picture windows and a 12 by 17 foot deck overlooking the working lobster boats. (Enjoy the cool nights with the gas logs while looking at the sparkling lights across the bay.) In addition, the tree-top deck with inside stairway offers both a breathtaking view of the ocean as well as an opportunity to experience sunsets at cocktail time. And all this is accomplished within a completely private setting on two acres surrounded with tall pines. Naturally, there is a Right Of Way to assure seaside strolls both to the rocky coast of the Atlantic and/or to Lowell’s cove.
The fully appointed kitchen is bright and airy, includes all amenities, and is open to a large dining room that views the ocean. Enjoy your breakfast with the rising sun on the deck off of the dining room or seat your expanded guest list for a seashore dinner at our table that easily holds 12. Later you will want to cook marshmallows and tell tall tales around the outside fireplace.
Sleeping for eight includes two bedrooms (one queen and two extra-long twins) on the ground floor that opens to the front yard. The master bedroom on the second floor features a king-size bed and the loft area has bunk beds. (All beds have new quality matresses- Yep, we also have rented nice places with terrible beds.)
Orr’s and Bailey Islands are magical places that offer dozens of interesting activities that will encourage you to stay close to your new haven. Kayaking at the world headquarters of H2Outfitters, the Giant Steps and/or the town beach with its sandy shore, Mackerel and Lowell’s Coves with world class Maine picture post card settings, lots of long walks on quiet ways, or art offerings in every direction. Eat at the famous Cooks Lobster House or lunch on chowder at Prince’s next to the one and only granite crib-bridge between Orr’s and Bailey Islands- and don’t miss treats at the ice cream palace within a short walk of the cottage.
Day trips within 45 minutes of Orr’s will likely include Freeport with LL Bean and the dozens of discount outlets that fill the town, but should also include Bowden College in Brunswick, Wiscasset that is dubbed the prettiest village in Maine and has too many antique shops to count, the Maine Maritime Museum next to the Bath Iron Works in Bath, and the fully restored downtown seaport of Portland with scores of eating and shopping opportunities. Any of these trips offer daylong activities that include something for everyone in your troop.
