This Super Clean and Super Cozy property is set back and located on the upper, back ridge portion of Old Mill Road in the ocean side neighborhood of McFarland Shore, in an area of one of a kind cottages and single family homes. And, next to the small fishing village of New Harbor, Maine. Nearby is the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Pemaquid Beach, Rachel Carson Salt Pond, and the Wawenock Golf Course. Booth Bay Harbor peninsula is just to our south and the coastal cities of Camden and Rockport just to our north and Bar Harbor just beyond. Our cottage sits in an undeniably convenient mid coast location! Hike thru the nearby woodsy trails and see first hand seasonal sightings of deer, fox, wild turkeys, and of course, the usual array of more common creatures, such as chip monks, squirrels and prairie dogs. As well as, bald eagles and osprey, if you're lucky enough, along with the more typical woodland birds and sea gulls too. And, at nite, listen for the sounds of distant coyotes, hooting owls and the rustle of other creatures of the nite, in the nearby underbrush. By day, take the Right Of Way thru the Connor Rock Lot, a short walk away to the Atlantic Ocean. Sit back on the rocks and watch the lobster men retrieve their catch of the day. Or, simply enjoy the crashing surf and white caps on a windy day - see attached photos. Flower gardens and old stone boundary walls and woodlands surround the property, providing a sense of peace and natural abundance. Come and stay for a while. Every One is Welcomed Here!

About the host

I am retired. And, I live down the road during the summer season. You can be sure that this rental cottage is maintained/cleaned/sanitized to the highest of standards between each guest because I do all of the cleaning myself!
Why they chose this property
This cottage is situated in a quiet setting, tucked in from the road, surrounded by trees and rocks. And, on a windy day, can hear the wonderful sounds of the incoming tides against the nearby ocean side rocks. Completely rehabilitated, inside and out over a period of several years along with major landscape changes with a little bit of help, of course, from nearby craftsmen and service providers. And, local bankers. The former owners stick built the cottage with local carpenters at a time in the early 70's when there were only a few other cottages and lots of trees on what seemed like a rugged trail at the time, rather than a road. We became its owners in 2005. Nowadays, a very different story. Although unique, larger single family homes have been constructed since that time, with dirt roads becoming more substantive, the area still remains primarily rural and very au naturel. Our cottage has always been owner occupied and only recently has been rented out for brief several week periods during the past few summers. It remains a very special place, and is still wonderful. Super clean and super cozy. Come and enjoy a relaxing stay at our place. Every One is Welcome!
What makes this property unique
The woods, the rocks, the afternoon sea breezes and the roaring sounds of the nearby Atlantic Ocean!
