Located on the mainland at the ocean's edge in a beautiful cove overlooking Clark Island and the open sea, our cottage offers the classic, rustic charm of mid-century coastal Maine — the perfect base for a classic Maine summer getaway.
Built in the traditional Maine style, the cottage combines timeless character with modern comfort. Enjoy quiet mornings watching the tide roll in, warm evenings on the porch as the sun sets over the water, and long walks along the shoreline or through nearby forest trails. It's the perfect retreat for couples, families, remote workers, or anyone looking to experience Maine at its summer best.
• A Peaceful Setting on the St. George Peninsula
The cottage sits in the Township of Clark Island, one of several small, scenic towns that make up the St. George Peninsula. From the lobstering village of Port Clyde at one end (with daily ferry service to Monhegan Island) to Rockland at the other (voted one of America's best small towns by Budget Travel), the peninsula is rich with character and summer charm. It's a quintessential Maine coastal escape — yet just minutes from local dining, shopping, and outdoor adventures.
At the end of our road, the Craignair Inn of Clark Island welcomes visitors with its gourmet restaurant and bar, perfect for an evening out without driving far.
