About this property

Bay-View. Waterfront Log cabin on the bay. Pet Friendly.

"BAY VIEW" is a beautiful waterfront cabin just feet from the shore of Casco Bay's Merriconeag Sound, which separates the two sides of Harpswell. Smell the salt air, listen to the sounds of waves lap the shoreline and watch the eagles, sea gulls and local Lobstermen haul their traps. You may even see seals at play in the waters. Whether at sunrise or the end of the day, there is something for your senses to take in as you relax by the shoreline or on the deck enjoying the coast of Maine.

"Bay-View" accommodates six guests with a bedroom downstairs (queen size bed) and an upstairs open loft with two beds, both queen size. The beds, bed linens, towels, all kitchen utensils and Appliances (minus refrigerator), were brand new in 2022. Bed linens and towels are provided.

Prepare your own meal in the kitchen, on the outdoor grill or get an evening take-out meal at many of Harpswell's wonderful restaurants. Afterwards, make sure you stop into one of Harpswell's two ice cream shops to finish off your dining experience.

A few of the local Harpswell restaurants we recommend within a 20-minute drive: Erica's Seafood, Dolphin Restaurant and Marina, Pammy's Ice Cream, Uncle Pete's Community Market, Island Candy Company, Salt Cod Cafe, Cook's Lobster & Ale House, Sundrenched and Bailey Island General Store (BIGS). Please confirm hours before arrival for seasonal days and hours.

Beautiful Location, Wonderful Cabin

Just what we needed

The cabin was everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Just the right size for a family of 5 adults, it was off the beaten path, yet close enough to Boothbay Harbor, Freeport, or exploring the local Harpswell community. Sunrise from the deck, bald eagle sightings, and watching the boats come in and out of the bay made this a peaceful stay.

Comfortable Log Cabin

The views were gorgeous as the cabin is right on the water. The neighborhood was quiet. Although an older cabin, it was clean and well maintained. Very noteworthy -- the kitchen was nicely equipped including very nice pots and pans. Most important our somewhat shy dog was very comfortable within minutes of our arrival.

Bayview cabin

Bayview was comfortable, traditional maine style rustic cabin. Kitchen would be nice if extra small plate's and smaller bowl's were added. Bed's would be perfect if a topper was added to make softer. Other than that returning to maine annually has become very special for our family as adults, you have greater appreciation from children being raised in maine. Thankyou for offering a comfortable cabin.

Place was great. Lots of privacy! It was so quiet especially at night as we had cocktails on the deck. Made our 38th anniversary special. Did some fun stuff.Lands End store at end of Bailey Island and beach. Cooks lobster House. Cabot Antique mall and flea market in Brunswick. Had the best blueberry pancakes we ever had at the Kopper Kettle. Popham Beach topped everything off! talked with David at the end of the trip and hope to rent from him again!

Excellent weekend getaway

Property was exactly as described in listing. Contactless check-in was easy. House was very clean and all needed amenities were provided. The view was amazing. On the ocean but almost felt like a lake property in its peacefulness. Plenty of options for seating on the expansive deck. Made use of the gas grill, which was also very clean and worked perfectly. Only made use of first floor bedroom, but bed was very comfortable and black out blinds worked well. Looking forward to booking again and further exploring the surrounding area.

Perfect get away

It was absolutely perfect. We hope to book again in the future. Lovely log cabin with a spectacular view. For people booking this I would recommend getting groceries at a larger town before you arrive, as the local small stores close early. They do not have toilet paper, paper towels or typical grocery items. The cabin is not stocked with the paper products.

Spring Break 2024

What an amazing place and location! We’ve been spending summer time in the region (Harpswell, Orrs, Baileys, Cundys, West Bath) for almost 10 years. This was our first time in the spring but that house was exactly as advertised. The views were amazing. Got great pictures of the Pink Full Moon reflecting on the inlet water. The fire place was a great bonus to take the chill off after long days watching colllege baseball at Colby, Bates and Bowdoin and walking the beach at Reid State Park and Popham Beach. I would 100% recommend this place for anyone looking to spend time on Casco Bay. Quick drive to downtown Brunswick and the rest of what the coast has to offer!

First trip to Maine

We chose this property because we were looking for a quiet location on the water. It was everything we hoped it would be. We didn't need an active nightlife or restaurants within walking distance. What we found was an oasis of quiet with a close enough drive to Portland and Acadia. The place was very clean and had all the necessary amenities to spend a comfortable week. There was a minor issue with the cable TV not working, but David was there quickly to correct the problem. My only quibble, and it's a small one, is that the listing indicated that there was a dishwasher. We didn't find one. Would definitely choose to stay here again if we travel to Maine another time.

Rustic older retreat

We had a bad experience with the foul smelling water so we chose to leave. Property manager graciously refunded 2 nights stay. Location is remote and no groceries nor dining close by. The cabin decor is old; dim lamps for lighting. Mattress is old and sheets are scratchy. Just wasn’t what we saw on the VRBO site so we were surprised at what we walked into. The house sits under trees so there is no natural sunlight coming in. We wouldn’t recommend the house.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Jan, 2024
Please, I only ask any guests who stay at any of my company's rentals (Safe Harbour Property Management) if you have any questions or concerns contact me immediately, no matter what the time of day or night. Do not contact me after you have left your rental 18 hours after your arrival as was the case here. I had my water treatment company arrive at the Cabin as soon as I was made aware of a concern. The anode in the water heater had begun to deteriorate to the point it needed changing. One hour later the problem was solved and fixed. No hint of a smell whatsoever An expedited State water lab test showed water to be just fine and the treatment system for the Cabin is working fine. The cabin is close to the water in Harpswell and to say there are no groceries nearby is just not true. In the directions sent to all guests there are explicit directions where to pick up groceries at a Hannaford, Shaw's, or Walmart, all within 6 miles of Bayview Cabin. There are three of the best seafood restaurants in the area all within a 15-minute drive as well as two seafood take-out stands with a 10-minute drive. I am not sure how you can stay overnight at a rental, leave at 8am and make these types of statements. The Log Cabin is just that, a cabin that always has that "rustic" feel to it, but all three queen sized beds are new as well as the sheets from LL Bean.... not a place known for inferior scratchy sheets. The tree mentioned is pretty prominent in many photos shown on the website, if someone is surprised by this I really do not know what to say. I ask that all guests feel free to contact SHPM any time after you have made a reservation with us. We will take as much time as needed to answer any questions you might have. Not every rental is going to be someone's "cup of tea", I understand that. That is why they are correct I was very generous in giving two days of rental back when that was not necessary. I only ask anyone looking at the reviews..... how many 5-star ones are there?

Perfect long weekend escape

My wife, adult daughter, and I stayed at Bay View for Indigenous People’s Day weekend and found it perfect for our needs. The house is well-equipped, comfortable, and easy to enjoy. It affords a superb view of Clark Cove at any time of day, but especially at sunrise and, for us, during the full moonrise. Harpswell has much more to offer than we had time to explore, but we took advantage of hikes, crafts fairs, seafood (Dolphin Marina on its last night of the season), and just hanging out with a book. We would definitely like to return.

Respite by-the-bay

We enjoyed a few relaxing days and nights at Bayside, spending as much time as possible out on the deck watching the tide and marine traffic, grilling and sipping wine, and letting the peace of the Maine coastline work its magic. Make sure to hike the cliff trail, and hit Pammy's for some ice cream and the Black Sheep for wine, but the rest of your time you'll enjoy this quiet, clean waterfront cabin!
