Description

***This is a new Listing in 2026 on VRBO but has been rented since 2009.

This Artist Cottage was built in 1989 in Chamberlain, Maine as a destination for world-renowned stained glass window artist Albinas Elskus. Albin and his family began coming to Maine in the 1960's and purchased this property because of it's breathtaking views. Family-owned since, we hope our guests enjoy what we consider to be a little slice of heaven.

The great room features several large windows lookingstraight out to the ocean cliffs. This room has a dining table and provides plenty of comfortable seating. The futon can be pulled out to allow for extra sleeping. The bedroom has a both a queen and a twin bed, and the loft room has two additional twin mattresses.

Wake up to incredible sunrises, fall asleep to starry nights, and spend a whole day on the deck taking in the living ocean and the morning lobster boats at work. The cottage is located on historic Long Cove in which many of the cottages have been untouched or remodeled since they were built in the 1900's. Daily walks around the point give you different views of the ocean and cove, and the beautiful cottages offer sweet charm along the way. Easy access to the rocks from the deck allow guests to get right down to the water's edge. The cottage is tucked back off the main road for privacy and is the ideal spot for a few friends wanting to get away and have a quiet Maine experience. A full-size yard also offers space to spread out in front of the great window.

Long Cove beach is down the road and great for kayaking, swimming at the sandbar and crab hunting. Shaw's Lobster Wharf 1.5 mile away in New Harbor offers classic Maine fare. The Hardy Boat departs daily from the same wharf taking cruises to see Monhegan Island and other local sights. A day at sandy Pemaquid Beach with a stop at Pemaquid Lighthouse is also closeby. The Muscongus Bay region has so much to offer, you cannot go wrong!

This was the perfect place for a restorative, healing stay. Ashley was responsive to all my questions and made the trip virtually stress-free. This cottage is very well-equipped and the space is cozy, very comfortable, and bright and has a wonderful energy, with a breathtaking view of the ocean. I could hear the surf from the bed!
