About this property

Believers Bay - Downeast Maine Coast

Step away from your everyday routines and responsibilities and enjoy the simple life at our cottage by the bay. Breathe in the salty ocean air, watch lobster boats in action from the shore, and enjoy the beauty around you as you spend quality time with your friends and family making memories that will last a lifetime.



When you step inside the cottage, you will immediately feel the coziness and spaciousness of a home that you can sit back and relax in while you are here. From the wood covered walls, or the numerous windows to look out into the bay, beauty is all around you. This 3 bedroom 1 and a half bath treasure is sure to please!

Our stay at Believers Bay was truly exceptional. The cottage is well appointed with comfortable furniture and beds. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils. Lots of thoughtful touches throughout the property. And the views of the bay from the cottage are absolutely breathtaking. Hope to stay there again later this year or next Spring.

Believer’s Bay

Believer’s Bay is the perfect getaway inside and out. The cottage is cozy and well furnished and the bay is gorgeous. We had lovely sunsets and enjoyed the rising Beaver moon. We were visited by red squirrels and pileated woodpecker. Our family loved the property and we all agree that we would stay here again.

Amazing place!

Awesome! Comfortable and user friendly. We had foggy weather which kept us from seeing the full view of islands and ocean. Short driving to Milbridge which has a grocery store and restaurant. Visted a few beaches to the east, less traveled areas than the norm. Loved the Blueberry Shop. We enjoyed our stay.

Amazing Property and View

It was a good ways away from everything, that being said it was truly the best place to stay! The house was great and accommodated all six of us perfectly. Fully stocked with everything you would need for a great time. The view, worth a million dollars! Our two grandsons were outside on the mud flats everyday. They collected some mussels and went fishing. Eagles, deer and sunsets were awesome!

A wonderful summer on Wallace Cove in Milbridge Maine

We really enjoyed our summer here. The location is so beautiful; the accommodations, excellent. Mike the Caretaker and Tracy who does the linens have been very helpful; and Scott the owner was available the few times we needed him. We saw eagles, herons, cormorants, plovers, seals and more. While there is much to enjoy nearby including local farms, hiking trails, biking and, of course Acadia National Park, some of our favorite time was right on the water's edge. Coming from the city, the quiet is just amazing. And the light is exquisite; the view is stunning. Great sunsets, moonrises, stars. We also liked watching the clammers come and go, the lobster boats checking their traps and even one fishing vessel filling its nets.

Down East Retreat

Believer's Bay provided the perfect location for my family of 4 to enjoy a week of family time on the coast of Maine. The cottage is even more beautiful in person with windows wrapping the first floor so you can view the water and shore birds (including eagles) all day long. The weather was perfect for the fire pit with just enough wind to keep the fires at bay and the neighbors children could be heard bringing a lovely family atmosphere and camp like setting to the evening retreat. We loved dining at Chipman's after a puffin tour with Acadia Puffin Tours, the Pickled Wrinkle was another special place. Milbridge has a wonderful gift shop called the River Lily, a local art gallery and an amazing community garden and park! Of course we spent time in Acadia but we also loved our hike at Schoodic Mt that ended with a swim in Donnell pond with a visit from a solitary loon. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place with us. We will carry the special memories we made for years to come.
