About this property

This summer cottage on an island in Maine overlooks the beautiful Penobscot Bay. This rustic cottage has a moderate living space with a wood-burning stove, an inner porch with a great view of the bay, and a lot of family charm. The house was built in the 1930s by two sisters of the Allen family, who owned the property next to this one. This cottage has been passed down through the family and cherished by each generation. The entire property has a lovely view of the Penobscot Bay.
Amenities include: WiFi, beach access, shared driveway but private parking, w/d in home, dishwasher. There are only two markets on the island, so we suggest getting your groceries before embarking on your journey by way of ferry departing from Lincolnville (which runs from 8 am - 5 pm daily).

If you are looking for a calm, rustic retreat away from it all this is the cottage for you.

~ If your party needs a little extra room, we have an additional cabin for 2 on the property that you may also consider ~ See HomeAway Listing # 4210882 ~

Peace and Quiet.

Pros: Quiet. This is it if you are looking for quiet. The cottage: The glassed-in porch is the star. The windows open too. The kitchen is updated and a pleasure to cook in. The living room is very cozy at night. There was a musky smell when we 1st arrived, but went away quickly once all windows were open and never came back, but then again the windows were open the whole vacation. Cons: The view will be obstructed soon if the owner doesn't cut down some small trees, it seems without affecting the buffer zone. The outside grounds in general need a lot of TLC. The cottage was clean, but there was dog hair all over the bed blankets in one room. Would I stay there again, for $1,400? Yes, if the grounds were cleaned up and the view opened up.

Maine Cottage

We loved our stay at this fantastic Miane Coastal Cottage. The cottage has some much character and history. The deck was larger then we anticipated from the photos. Enjoyed the views from the deck and sun porch. Lots of places to hike and explore on the Island. We will be back!

Beautiful stay

The property worked great for us. Kayaking was great out in the bay and around the contour of the shore. Walks along the rocky shore was relaxing. The deck while small worked perfectly for us. Also the closed in porch was great to hangout in during the evening. The stairs to the shore while steep were not an issue. Kitchen was well stocked to meet our needs. Bedrooms worked for us (2 couples for 5 nights plus my adult son and his girlfriend for 2 nights).

A cottage with a view

We enjoyed staying at your cottage while we visited our grandchildren on Islesboro. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. The porch was our favorite place to hang out and play games. The view was spectacular. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

About the host

Hosted by Juli

We are descendants of the Allen family who started coming to Islesboro at the end of the 19th century. Three cottages were built on the beach by family members and are still enjoyed by their descendants. Islesboro is such a cherished place for all of us that even though most of us live over a thousand miles away we make the trip back to the island every year. We love nature and boating and getting the whole group of us together at least once a year.

Why they chose this property

This property will provide a beautiful and tranquil setting for you. It's a comfortable place where you can kick your shoes off and relax. There's nothing like waking up in the morning and looking out on the bay and the neighboring islands in the distance.
This is the perfect place for you if you want to unwind and enjoy the simple things like beachcombing, taking nature walks, and cycling. Having a private beach allows for you to have a bonfire (with a permit, of course! :))

What makes this property unique

The property is away from the main road so it is quiet. The cottage is waterfront but also wooded so you have the benefit of both. The dining table is out on the front porch so every time you sit down to eat you'll have a beautiful view. On chilly nights you can build a fire in the wood stove and toast marshmallows for s'mores!
