“Footnote” is an ideal quintessential 1920’s Maine cottage located on Orr’s Island. presenting stunning ocean views and breathtaking sunsets. Orr’s Island is a gem of Harpswell, one of the most beautiful , quaint towns along the Maine coast. The feeling upon entering the cottage will leave you feeling the true tranquility you’re searching for! Plan to relax and enjoy the spectacular views from the cottage and of course its glorious deck!

The kitchenand bathroom have been carefully renovated and fully updated while maintaining the true charm of the cottage. You will enter through the screened in porch, which is a perfect extra spot to relax in ! The cottage sleeps 4, as it features 2 inviting bedrooms. One with a queen size bed, with a step down as you enter the cottage (the only step inside the cottage !) while the other conveniently has 2 twin beds. You’ll enjoy a comfortable living room, with a large screen TV, (for your streaming purposes) as well as a small sitting/reading nook, also with a two-seater couch. Perfect for curling up with a good book !

The new, fully equipped kitchen will have everything you need for a comfortable stay including all new appliances. From the kitchen, you have access to the inviting deck to enjoy the impressive views as well as the lovely patio furniture put in place. This cottage is the perfect balance of well maintained beauty from the past, and the modernization of today.

There’s also a trail alongside of the property leading down to the rocky/sandy shoreline. This trail is not everyone, as the terrain is a bit steep, but many love to explore, and end up at the shore ! Parking for the cottage is marked, and you will then venture down a wooden stairway to reach the cottage. The only amenity you will not find here is a washer or dryer. (Who wants to do laundry on vacation !!) “Footnote” is also accompanied by a larger home, called “Epilogue” on the premises which sleeps a total of 6 people, so if you’re looking for a larger rental for family, this is perfect for you, as you are able to rent them together if so desired. If you’re interested in both, please contact the manager with your questions.

“Footnote” is located close to Brunswick, where you will find grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. Brunswick is also home of Bowdoin College, Maine State Music Theater, as well as museums to explore. On Orr’s Island , it’s just a short hop to seafood restaurants , kayak rentals, trails, mini beaches, and even a candy and ice cream shop ! You are only a short distance from Freeport, (home of L.L.

    The Footnote cottage was lovely... very clean, all amenities, comfortable beds and, surprisingly roomy for a small two bedroom cottage. There are water views from deck and master bedroom. The area has lots of little places to explore within 5-20 minutes if the cottage. A perfect getaway!

    The cottage was lovely. Perfect for four or fewer people. Well appointed, very clean, great location with walks/hikes close by. Hike down the hill to the bay not too challenging or just enjoy the beautiful view from the deck. An additional light in the living room and a coffee pot, not just a K-cup maker would be nice.

    We loved our stay in Footnote. Very well appointed with everything you need. We stayed in early July and we’re a little worried about no AC when we got there on a hot day but we opened the windows to get the breeze and never missed it. Would definitely stay again if staying in the same area.

    We were in the area to visit friends and found this wonderful bay view property. The cottage was rustic and cozy which really gave us a great vibe for our Maine sea coast experience. The beds were super comfortable and everything in the house was neat and tidy. Our host, Sheri, was super responsive. We would definitely return in the future.

    Have stayed here two times over the years and it’s a great place for small families. We thoroughly enjoyed our recent visit.
