About this property

Cove Cottage: Quietly Nestled Between The Pines Of Tranquil Seavey Cove

Cove Cottage is a nature lover's paradise and the foundation for your peaceful vacation. Uniquely surrounded on three sides by the calm emerald waters of Seavey Cove. You can step onto the deck and watch the glorious sunrise in the morning or the brilliant stars at night. A paddler's dream, launch your kayak or canoe mere steps from the cottage at mid to high tide and explore the islands of Long Cove and beyond into Penobscot Bay. Birders can be on the lookout for eagles, osprey, hawks, terns, kingfishers and herons. An occasional seal will check on you from the cove to make sure your relaxing. A traditional 1930's style cottage allows you to relax warmly away from today's technology ridden world. You'll want to turn off your cell phone, pick up a book or newspaper, play board-games, talk or take a walk and above all relax, relax, relax.

Perfectly rustic. Watching the 4th of July fireworks from the deck was a treat - as was figuring out how to set up the vintage ironing board :-)Nice location with plenty of activities nearby; nice location if you don't want to do anything but breathe in nature.

It was a perfect place to relax next to the cove and still be close to all the fun stuff. The best part was watching the ducks and baby geese swim by every morning and night.

Once again, we loved our stay at the Cove Cottage! We love the silence and beauty, and its proximity to so much good food and hiking. During this stay, we tried McLoon's Lobster Shack -- great food and gorgeous setting.

Back home today and missing Cove Cottage terribly! We almost didn’t make it this year due to medical reasons and a particularly tough past year, but we are SO HAPPY that we did. It was just what we needed to reset and reconnect after a challenging year.I was very comfortable in the downstairs bedroom while my daughter took the upstairs. We enjoyed connecting with my dear high school classmate who lives and works in the area, kayaking, walking the grounds of the Olson House in Cushing, cooking meals at home, and eating delicious seafood out.I found myself gravitating back to the big rock overlooking the cove for my morning meditations, while my daughter rested and wrote in the hammock. After one hot, long paddle in the tandem kayak we rented, we both jumped into the cove for a brief, icy-but-refreshing swim. These beautiful summer memories, made here, are ones we will always treasure.Vanessa and Paul are absolutely the best hosts. They are there if you need them, responsive to communication, and yet maintain such a respectful distance that you feel as though you have this magical place all to yourself.We cannot thank you enough for renting to us again. Cove Cottage gave us exactly the reset we needed, and we are already missing it. Vanessa and Paul, we wish you both a very happy and healthy year ahead!

The cabin and surrounding area was private and quiet. The cabin was a beautiful Maine cottage with absolutely beautiful views of the cove! My dogs and I really enjoyed our stay. The property was perfect to sit and relax or take my dogs for a hike. The host made the cottage very dog friendly.

Hi Maria, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay at Cove Cottage and I hope you return sometime in the future. I made a mistake when rating you as a client. I thought I was rating a different client. You should be 5’s across the board. I’m working with VRBO to change it. Hopefully this doesn’t cause any inconvenience . Vanessa and Paul

About the host

Hosted by Vanessa Boynton

Host profile image
I'm a seventh grade English teacher at a local school. My husband works in Camden at a gift shop. We both love to travel, hike and enjoy the sea.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family since the mid 1700's. Part of the cabin was built in the 1930's and the newer section was added onto in the 1970's. The property is unique because it is private and the cabin literally sits on a small spit of land over looking the cove. There is a view of the water on three sides. Also, the cove is a beautiful emerald green due to the reflection of the surrounding trees.

What makes this property unique

It's rustic beauty and provides a peaceful place to relax and unwind!
