Great veiw,Great porch,not for those wanting fine amenities, but has all you need,fairly private and very close to the water,we had a great time there,even though it got pretty cold at night,as the only heat in the house is a small heater in bedroom, it does the job to keep the bedroom warm,but not the rest of the cabin,fireplace comes in handy,great cabin and spot if your looking for a more quiet and clamping type experience.

A million-dollar view

This isn’t glamping—it’s time-traveling (in the best possible way). If you’ve ever wanted to unplug from the digital world and step into a simpler, slower pace of life, this rustic cabin is your ticket. The drive in feels like you’re heading to the end of the Earth, but once you arrive, the peace, quiet, and jaw-dropping views make it all worth it. The cabin was built in the 1800s and wears its history proudly. Translation: no insulation, no Wi-Fi, no TV, no AC, and the only heat source is a fireplace. The water? Saltier than the ocean. But that’s all part of the charm. Instead of screens, you get crackling fires, old books, board games (bring a few favorites of your own), and the kind of cozy atmosphere money can’t buy. We did have cell service, which was just enough to check directions or Google restaurants when needed. The deck is hands-down the showstopper. Watching the sun sink into the horizon night after night never got old. A short path takes you down to your own private waterfront. It’s not sandy—it’s a classic rocky Maine shoreline—but perfect for lounging in a chair, listening to the waves, and hunting for sea glass and the most incredible rocks. Yes, it’s secluded, but you’re still under 30 minutes from Rockland, where you’ll find every modern convenience (and some excellent restaurants). That balance of remote and accessible was just right. If you’re looking for luxury, this isn’t it. But if you’re looking to disconnect, slow down, and soak in Maine at its most magical, you won’t find a better spot.

We had a wonderful stay at this simple, cozy oceanfront cottage. The location is beautiful with stunning views and a peaceful deck that quickly became our favorite spot to relax. The cottage itself is comfortable and welcoming, and we’re already planning to return. A couple of things mentioned in past reviews were not an issue for us: there was plenty of firewood available in the shed, and although the tap water is salty, we found a 5-gallon spring water dispenser in the kitchen that was very helpful. A couple of maintenance items were noted (a small leak and a pest issue), which we reported to the property management team after our stay. They have been very responsive, so we suspect these will be addressed for future guests. Overall, this is a lovely, quiet place to unwind, and we look forward to coming back!
