Spend time on the banks of Herrick Bay in this charmingly restored, single level classic 1930's Maine shingled cottage consisting of a main living/dining area, kitchen, three bedrooms and one full bath. Located near Naskeag Point and just outside the village of Brooklin, the comfortable, charming main living area includes antiques and wicker furniture, good reading lamps, a vaulted ceiling, white-washed walls, hardwood floors and a propane stove for chilly days. Three bedrooms sleep up to four adults and two children and include two queen beds and two twin beds, all with comfortable mattresses. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking meals with many vintage touches and an outdoor shower allows for rinsing after swimming. Brooklin is best known for its picturesque bays and waterways and premier sailing waters, and is home to WoodenBoat School, boat builders and boat yards, craftspeople and artists. Enjoy beautiful sunrises drinking coffee on the screened porch swing, watch the lobster boats, listen to waves lapping at the shore, swim and kayak from the rocks at high tide with easy access using the wooden steps to the beach, explore the tidepools, and enjoy the many area hiking trails.

Perfect Maine vacation

Truly one of the most special places I’ve ever stayed at. Waking up on the water and having coffee was one of the most luxurious thing. Can’t recommend enough. Only wish it was available next summer!

Pretty much every room had a direct view of the ocean. The place is very charming and right on the water. I could even hear the waves one evening with my windows open. The beach is a great place to walk. The kitchen had everything I needed. The cottage was clean and well taken care of. The setting and views are amazing. The owner was very nice and I'm glad I got to meet her. I hope to stay again in the future.

Maine Character

This is a truly beautiful spot with amazing views of the water and shore access. The owners are very nice and accommodating. The house is somewhat rustic but is very clean and has everything you will need for a pleasant and comfortable stay. We had a power outage while we were there and found out there is a backup generator-much appreciated! Note that there is a grassy slope to walk down to the house that might be a problem for someone with access issues. Enjoyed our stay!
