Stonington, Maine
Enjoy this simple, rustic cabin that sits just 50 feet from the ocean between Burnt Cove and Crockett Cove. This private and quiet deep water setting has stunning panoramic views but is still close to the neighborhood convenience store, hardware store, gas station and village. Perfect area for writers, artists and those seeking simple living for their vacation getaway. While there is no electricity or landline, there is a gas fridge, stove top (no oven) and lights. A full bathroom is fed from a cistern that catches rain water from the roof. A wonderful pink granite fireplace provides heat for the occasional chilly evenings and a passive solar system on the roof provides hot water. Please note: Mindful use of water is important. Drinking water is available from the public spicket at nearby Burnt Cove Market. This is a one-of-a-kind Maine coast getaway in an outstanding setting.
Simply superb experience -Period!
The cabin is right on the ocean. It couldn't be closer. At high tide it's just a few steps from the deck onto the pink granite rocks if you like to swim or kayak. Even the beds in the loft have a view of the ocean through the top windows. I appreciate the gas lamps, which have a warm glow when cooking at night and reading. Simple, clean, beautiful. Feels like a family cabin rather than an impersonal rental. You're also only a few minutes from Aragosta at Goose Cove, the restaurant, in the next cove--you could kayak there. And a ferry ride to Isle au Haut, part of the Acadia National Park, is also a must-see. Deeply relaxing time.
The cleanliness rating was due to the fact that the cottage was not cleaned upon our arrival. We brought our own sheets, and towels, so we told them that we would clean up the cottage, and they did refund us some money. The spot was breathtakingly beautiful, and the cottage overall was great. It was just an unfortunate way to start a vacation.
