Privy Point is nestled on the end of a peninsula, with water on two sides. The cottage was built in 1947 for use as a duck hunting cabin. Set on a rock outcropping, the cottage is as close as you could possibly get to the water's edge. But don't let that scare you! Its elevation protects the cottage from water intrusion. What you do get for being so close is the lovely sound of the high tidal water lapping at the rocks. It's such a soothing sound.

To get here from the main road, visitors follow a dirt road almost 1/4 mile, past beautiful native fir and birch trees. Stover's Cove will be on your left. Parking is in a small lot right near the house.

The main room consists of a living room area and a large table with seating for 8, facing the great window to Narraguagus Bay. The room has a working fireplace, a wicker couch and two rockers, and two day-beds that can be used to accommodate sleeping.

Entry is through the kitchen, which is complete with a refrigerator, gas stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, and farmhouse sink. Dishes are washed by hand as no dishwasher is included. We're a bit rustic here, to a point! The kitchen has a skylight for natural light and to cool off the cottage during the warmer summer days.

The master bedroom is located at one end of the cottage and consists of two single beds and two closets. One closet houses an apartment-sized stackable washer/dryer unit. A full-sized bathroom with a sink, shower, and toilet is adjoining this room.

There are two small bunk rooms with a half bath in between them. A screened-in porch is accessed by going through one bunk room, and it has wicker furniture to seat 4-5 people. This is a favorite spot in the late afternoon. The living room has two day-beds that can be used to accommodate sleeping for two short-term guests.

A deck is on the east side of the cottage, facing the water. Sunrise comes on strong and warm here, and it's a great spot to enjoy watching the lobster boat activity on the bay or to watch Bald Eagles, heron, cormorant, seals, osprey, and other wildlife. An LP gas grill is located on the deck as well as seating for 6-8 people.

Off the north end of the deck is a ramp that leads to a floating dock. From here, you can catch crabs, fish, launch kayaks, or other small boats. The dock will accommodate larger boats up to about 20-24 feet or so, but mainly during mid and high tides. The float sometimes bottoms out on the sand during extreme low tides. Kayaks, canoes, and other boats are not included.

A mooring may be available. Please inquire if you wish to bring a boat. A public boat launch is available in town.

Strictly a summer cottage, Privy Point is available June through October. There is no heat source other than the fireplace.

    As others have said, it's blissful - an extremely quiet, peaceful, simple break from your usual routines. Impeccably maintained and a perfectly beautiful spot.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Milbridge. We enjoy staycations where we can spend a week sitting by the ocean to read, craft, and enjoy nature. This was definitely that retreat for us. If you're looking for a place with all the newest gadgets and modern comforts, this probably isn't for you. If you're looking for a quiet place to relax and recharge, it's perfect! We especially loved that our pets were able to enjoy the salty breeze with us.

    Absolutely stunning views, the cottage sits on the rocks next to the beautiful green water. Watching the tide come and go is mesmerizing, very relaxing. It was also fun to watch the “lobstah” boats leave early each morning and wait for their return in the afternoon with their catch.

    We had a wonderful time staying @ this camp for a week. The owners are very responsive on any issue. And the check in & check out process is seamless. Just a beautiful spot and the camp is very clean and well maintained. We will defiantly rent again. It has the best view. Mark & Veronica Bouley

    Quiet! Secluded! Beautiful! Spent a great week with entire family, and enjoyed every minute. Cabin had everything we needed and more. Groceries and restaurants nearby. Did I mention quiet? Just the low grumble of lobster boats picking up and resetting their pots. Serene and beautiful!

    LOVED our stay at this adorable waterfront cabin. We could not have asked for anything more perfect for us. The view of the ocean out that big window, sitting on the deck soaking in the morning sunrise while watching fishing boats; watching the Milky Way at night then falling asleep to the sounds of the waves lapping on the rocks right outside the window was a dream. Kayaking, shell hunting, nature watching, cruising the coastal towns - just the perfect spot. The cabin was funky and adorable and fit us just right. Plenty of room for us to spread out or be all together in the living room. So much room in that cabin and we really do plan on returning with maybe a couple more family members in tow! Two bathrooms and plenty of sleeping space. Yes, all beds are singles, but we've been married for years, so it wasn't a deal breaker for us! LOL! The owner was so very nice. I can't say enough about how communicative, thoughtful, and kind he was. It was perfectly clean. We did not see a mouse, but we live in the mountains and we are not stranger to mice - regardless of how fancy you think your house may be, where we live EVERYONE gets a visit from the little critters. This is a rustic, summer cabin. For any one who has had negative comments regarding seeing a mouse, I would say their expectations are not in line with reality. For us, it was the most perfect place, with the most perfect hosts, in the best time of the year and we could not have asked for more from our first visit to the east coast! Thank you for making it so great!
