Wonderful Artist's Retreat : Private Maine Waterfront : Monet would dig it!

NOTE: ** For summer 2024, we rent Saturday to Saturday with a 7 night minimum stay requirement from June until September **

Wake as the sun rises over the islands on the horizon, three miles away, across the Mussel Ridge Channel. Fall asleep to the sounds of water lapping against the beach.

Kayak off the beach and paddle around the channel; have a cold drink while kicking back at the picnic table, all while cracking open the dollar-a-pop Weskeag oysters, from just down the road, after spending the day exploring — or reading or making art.
------------------------------------------
Longer version:
An actual artist's retreat, in a "Goldilocks" setting — not too far, not too near — that offers the tranquility you may be looking for, right about now.

Less than two hours north of Portland (a GREAT small city, with museums and restaurants of all persuasion), and the same distance south of Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island, this South Thomaston/Spruce Head retreat can serve as basecamp for area explorations or a quiet place to ignore the rest of the world.

Less than ten minutes to Rockland, to the north, which bills itself as "the art capital of Maine," (blame it on the passel of four generations of Wyeths that have called the area home and inspiration), Rockland offers art galleries, museums, a bonafide Michelin starred restaurant, local clam shacks, movie theaters, and more.

Mo's Cove is less than two miles from the best lobster roll in Maine, at McLoon's, on Spruce Head Island. You can walk over, if so inclined. Or walk the half-mile north to Waterman's Beach Brewery. What we like to do is kayak around the channel and end up at Waterman's Beach, before heading home. Yes, there are kayak rentals in the area.

If so inclined to bring your own boat, the Merchant's Landing Marina is one-mile across the channel as the eagle flies (yes, eagles can be spotted), or a quick two-mile drive over to Spruce Head, for mooring rentals. Tell Skip you're staying at Mo's Cove and he may crack a knowing smile.

For further exploration, the famed Marshall Point Lighthouse is south, by Port Clyde (the lighthouse showed up in "Forrest Gump"), and one can grab the ferry from Port Clyde over to Monhegan for the day. Maybe best known as an artist colony, Monhegan was being used by British fisherman long before Boston was settled.

There's a wonderful little beach in Martinsville, between Mo's Cove and Port Clyde, and another beach north, at Birch Point Beach State Park. You'll find folks walking there dogs on that beach at the crack of dawn.

Great little hike over on Clark Island, where one can see remains of the granites quarries that litter the coast of maine — and where towns like Rockland got their names. More quarries (and one AMAZING swimming hole) can be found over on Vinalhaven, an hour ferry from Rockland. Take you bike over, as it's easier than dealing with auto reservations.

Heading north from Rockland are the quaint villages of Rockport, Camden, Lincolnville, and the town of Belfast, all worth a look-see. If you've a hankering to actually get OUT to sea, we'd recommend a couple days and nights out on the oldest, continuously operations schooner, the Stephen Taber, for first-class food, and a lungful of ocean air, as the vessel skirts several of the five thousand islands off the coast, and nestling in picturesque harbors.

There are hikes near and far. The aforementioned Clark's Island is always a great way to start the day, or head over to the remnants of a British fort on the St. George river, or up to Ash Point. Day hikes could follow paths along Mirror Lake up to the summit of Ragged Mountain, for a spectacular panorama spanning the distance from Mount Desert Island, down to Monhegan. Likewise, there are the hikes (or simple drive) to the top of Mount Battie, north of Camden.

All of the above sounds exhausting. And it can be.

Don't want to move more than you have to? That works, too. Bring your own books, or pull from the shelves at Mo's Cove, where you'll find stacks of regional and Maritime history, Native American journals, and more. There's a great bookstore in Rockland, too.

Mo's Cove was built for doing nothing. Or very little. Quiet bedrooms for reading or writing (yeah, there's a very specific Writer's Room). Play checkers or chess or just rock and read and nap on the enclosed porch. Nap on the Army cot in the fish shack, if you're no longer rocking and reading out there (or making art). Kick back in the perfect Adirondack chairs (yes, have spent more than 30 years testing makes and models) out on the dock with an iced tea and a breeze. As evening rolls in, get a fire going in the pit, along the picnic table, roast a few marshmallows, wait for the Milky Way to shine overhead.

Call it a day. Go to bed.

Do it all over again the next day.

Fantastic Maine Coast Location!

The house was very eclectic and fun. Everyone enjoyed seeing all of the interesting art and objects that were in the house, porch, and fish shack. The house was also very spacious for our family of 5 adults. There is also a large amount of information regarding local restaurants and activities. That was very helpful! Also, Marc provided a lot of this information in advance which was helpful in trip planning. What's even more spectacular is the property itself. The amazing ocean views, the great pier for sitting out overlooking the water, the cove, the great backyard area... It's even better than the photos on the listing! We would highly recommend this property!

Great stay

We had such a fun week in mid coastal Maine. Mo’s cove is in a great location with beautiful, expansive views. We rented kayaks that we launched from the small private beach, jumped off the dock at high tide, and caught some epic sunrises. The home is as pictured - it’s definitely an artist’s retreat that also feels reminiscent of stays at grandma’s house (some treasures that reminded me of my early childhood), and part history museum. Marc is genuine and generous in his offer to explore and enjoy the house. We painted and made art, played cards and games on the sun porch, explored nautical maps, and flipped through amazing old letters and fascinating pieces of history. The house is eclectic and a throw back in time. We settled in and enjoyed lots of cool discoveries, the stunning views, great local food, and lots of activities in the area.

Best of Maine

We absolutely loved our stay at Moz Cove. The view alone is reason enough to book this house and the access to the water is exceptional. There are stairs to a beach where we launched our canoe and kayak. There is also a pier with a float at water level. At low tide, we explored the rocks and caught hermit crabs. At high tide, we jumped off the float to swim. The house was clean and comfortable with all the essentials upgraded (dishwasher, oven, washer/dryer, etc). We loved the various antique collections. Beds are comfortable and the house is more spacious than the photos suggest. Wifi is strong — I loved working upstairs with a view of my family in the yard and cove. Highly recommend a trip to Lobster Lane Bookstore (amazing selection of used books) and at least a day exploring Rockland and the Farnsworth. Thomaston hosts concerts on Wednesdays evenings in the summer. This house and its location are truly the best of Maine summer.

Perfect Place to Write, Think, Relax, Be

I traveled to Maine to work on a writing project that has been slow going at home. The home was a perfect place to slow down and focus on my work. The gorgeous view from the enclosed porch made a perfect work space. The bed was a perfect place to rest at night. And Marc, the host, was helpful in advance while I was booking my trip and quite responsive to a couple of minor things that bubbled up during the trip. I really couldn't have asked for a better spot.

Amazing property!

We had a fantastic week at this wonderful waterfront property. The small beach and large dock offered easy access to the water and spaces to enjoy the amazing views. We enjoyed kayaking right from the beach. The house itself is clean, spacious and comfortable, with lots of historic items that added special charm. Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms worked well for our large family group. The porch offered comfortable seating for dining and for more views. The owner provided thoughtful touches throughout, including a guidebook to the area and details such as toiletries and phone chargers. The fish house was a special hit with our boys, who slept there. We would absolutely stay again.

Por qué escogió este alojamiento

Mo's Cove was the home of Maureen and Harry Taylor, until Mo's son Marc inherited it, after Mo and Harry ran up a number of good innings. After Harry's stint in the Pacific at the end of WWII, he essentially never left Massachusetts again — until Mo dragged him up to Maine, a halfway point between their home in the hills of Massachusetts, and her fondly recalled ancestral home of Nova Scotia.

The home, the location, the views, are special. But then add in the comfy cheer of spending time in the fish shack, at the end of a long, wide dock, and you'll realize why this property is unique, why all guests leave with a smile.

Fly in to the Owl's Head airport, only an hour from Boston. Car rental available, and only six miles north of Mo's Cove.

Qué hace que este alojamiento sea especial

There are few, if any, places on the Maine coast were you can hop out, go for a dip, scoot around the corner for a lobster roll, and head back home, before calling it a day, resting with a smile on your face, surrounded by either silence or the sounds of those you love.
