Great Summer Place.

Great location, great views, good local restaurants, and there is a lot to do in the area including beaches, history, hikes, bike riding, and kayaking. The Bristol peninsula has a classic Maine feel.

A quaint rustic cottage with lots of charm

This cottage is a lovely old fashioned Maine cottage with all the modern conveniences that make things easy. The screened front porch was a favorite spot for us. It offers a nice view of the ocean and the window screens kept the space cool during a surprisingly hot stretch of July weather.

A wonderful home away from home!

Cool breezes, shady trees and ocean waves makes this cottage a perfect summer vacation home! The owners clearly love their cottage as well as their guest, making sure that everything is ready and waiting…including many caring little details…like bug spray, and sunscreen. The kitchen has everything you need, whether just assembling or really cooking. The bedroom has a view that makes waking up something to celebrate and the screened in front porch is an excellent place to work on jigsaw puzzles while watching the sunset over the ocean! But the deck is the very best part of staying in this cottage. Rain or a chilly breeze is really the only reason to ever leave it! Pam and Bennett are both generous and gracious hosts, making for a PERFECT stay! We’re already looking forward to next summer! 😊

A Hidden Gem

We so much enjoyed this lovely little cottage. It was exactly as described and perfect for our getaway. It was in a tranquil setting with a beautiful view of the ocean. Weather permitting, the deck is so relaxing. The owners were so gracious and had everything we needed waiting for us when we arrived. Thank you, Pamela and Bennet, for sharing you cottage.

Very peaceful and comfortable - hope to return!

We knew this was a gem as soon as we walked in. A large outdoor deck perfect for eating at the table or snoozing in the lounge chairs, a screened porch for sipping morning coffee or eating dinner with the ever-present sound of the waves breaking. The cottage had everything we needed for cooking, and the shower had plenty of hot water and very good water pressure. We slept well on the twin beds. A cozy and obviously well-loved place! It was also perfectly clean and well-aired when we arrived, which we appreciated given current events. I really hope we will come back for a longer stay. The continuous sound of the ocean was the best relaxant you can imagine.

Great memories in a great cottage and area in Maine

The cottage I selected was all it was described as being and more. I read the comments of previous guests and realized this was the place for me. Upon arrival, I was delighted in all ways. My 2 favorites of all: coffee on the deck in the a.m. and listening to the sound of the ocean. The New Harbor/Bristol area were unknown to me. It's low key, charming with gorgeous coastline, and flora. Places to see, shops, great food. I'll definitely rent this wonderful cottage in this wonderful place again.

Oh the sound!

Staying at the "little cottage" was a marvelous experience The views were wonderful but oh the sound ! The waves crashing on the rocky Maine shore are permanently wired into my very happy brain. This place invites you to nap and rest and when you are ready, the area is great for exploring light houses, charming shops or taking another nap. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen fully equipped and the front porch (closed in with open screened windows) was the place to be. I highly recommend this property to couples or small families.

Peaceful Getaway

Cute, cozy, relaxing cottage with wonderful view of the ocean. One day I even got to watch some fisherman pull in their catch with the binoculars thoughtfully provided on the porch. You can hear the waves, especially at night and the outside space is great. Pam & Bennett were helpful and responded quickly when I had a few questions at the beginning of my stay. The cottage feels like home and was a perfect size for 2 or 3 people. Kitchen is well-equipped and a few cozy spots to sit & read on the porch or rocking chair. It is also very convenient to several attractions, a 10 minute walk to the Rachel Carson Salt Pond, that is if you ever want to leave the porch! I'll be back.

Wonderful Experience

Cottage has just about everything you could possibly need for a wonderful vacation including a fantastic view.

About the host

Your host

My family has been vacationing in this spot for 50 years. My parents had rented this cottage for many years. When it came on the market in 1987, my husband and I bought it, and we continued a multigenerational tradition of family fun on the coast of Maine. It has been a magnet for our family and friends of all ages who just love it here.

Why they chose this property

Love this area!!! Maine's rugged coast is spectacularly beautiful. The perfect spot for a restful getaway.

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is located in the village of Chamberlain on State Route 32, between New Harbor and Long Cove. Downeast Magazine has described this short stretch of road as "quintessential Maine Coast". A short walk will bring you to many fun activities. Walk over to the Salt Pond tidal pool just a few hundred yards south and sit on the rocks or take a cool dip in the "pond". Kids of all ages will have a blast! Walk a 1/4 mile further south to the working harbor, and eat a lobster or take a boat cruise. Or walk about 1/4 mile to the north to see Long Cove and the pleasure boats moored there. The pocket sandy beach at Long Cove is another great place for a dip or a float in the calm waters. It is also a nice landing for your kayak. Come back after your adventure and relax on the deck, hear the pounding surf and smell the fresh salt air, with miles of ocean view filling your eyes and your heart.
