Charming Maine cottage on a bluff overlooking the Penobscot bay and Islesboro
Our cottage is situated in the charming and historic Town of Temple Heights.
Temple Heights is located on a tiny bluff directly overlooking Penobscot Bay and Islesboro Island. We have seaside access and a pebble beach located across the road. There are awesome views of Islesboro and the bay from many of the cottages rooms.
You'll be witness to spectacular morning sunrises and incredible evening skies. Let the sound of the ocean put you to sleep. Enjoy the local lobstermen tend to their traps. Take the ferry (7 minute drive) over to Islesboro beaches for a picnic. Golf at the nearby golf course. Take a walk to nearby coves. This cottage is an ideal place to slow down and relax.
We are located between Belfast and Camden, and just two minutes from Route 1. You can enjoy day sailing on a windjammer or a real lobster boat. You may want to spend the day shopping and dining in historic Camden or visit the many attractions in the area. A short 1 ½ hour drive to Acadia National Park
Parking at cottage: Parking in Temple Heights is on the street. Most, if not all the cottages have a right of way in front and in the back of the cottage. Cars will at times park in the right of way just to unload supplies. Parking at the cottage is convenient and you can pull up next to the cottage. Do not park in front of any right of way or on the lawn/yard. Thank you.
My girlfriends and i just loved our short stay at this cabin! Cute, cute, cute and the friendly neighbor came by to check on us and help when we needed it. Short walk down to beach for rock hunting or just relaxing waterside. Jerry was so great to work with and really cares about his guests. He recommended the Monehagan island day tour ferry and it was just amazing! We hope to come back again another day!
We had a great long weekend in this cute home. This home has obviously seen some love and growth through the years. Waking up to the birds singing was a nice way to start the day. Definitely recommend a stay here!
Any questions were answered quickly. The location is excellent. 10 minutes to Camden. Lincolnville beach was great. Would definitely stay again.
We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. The beach was wonderful and the cottage had everything we needed to enjoy a fun week with the family.
Beds were not very comfortable. We didn’t realize that the entire upstairs, where all of the bedrooms are, is not heated. It was freezing at night.
What a wonderful cottage just up the hill from the bay. We had a great long weekend with friends in the fall. Close enough for a day trip to Bar Harbor. Property was clean and well appointed. Check in and communication with host was very smooth. Would love to come again!
A wonderful, charming cottage with gorgeous water views. Just as quaint as the photos show and the host, Larry, was very friendly and communicative. The campfire was a very fun touch. The bedrooms are as pictured, but if you’re taller than 6’ take note of the ceiling heights in pictures! It was a perfect “home base” for day trips to Acadia, Bar Harbor and Camden. Overall a very cozy stay that we’d highly recommend.
Our group of 5 friends had a lovely weekend here when we came up for Common Ground Fair. We drove up from Massachusetts so bringing bedding and towels wasn’t a big deal but would likely been a challenge if we’d flown. The only thing that was missing were hooks or racks for bath towels to dry out. The house is in a beautiful spot with a fantastic view in a quiet neighborhood. We were sad that it was too windy and cold to take advantage of the fire pit, but it’s a great alternative hang out out area. It’s clear this place is well-loved and looked after by it family. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
I didnt stay at this place myself. The artists I rented this bnb for absolutely loved the place! They said they loved how quirky and how homey it was. Very Maine, they thought everything was wonderful! I was surprised to receive an email saying that my guests left the place trashed (they are very respectful, this came as a shock). When I asked what had happened, I was told the toilet seat broke and they used the towels and sheets (they stripped the beds) but none of us knew they couldn't use the sheets or towels ! I would love to give straight 5 stars - but we feel the listing should state that the guests are expected to bring and use their own towels and bedding (would have considered a different bnb for this reason alone). Otherwise, extremely cute place that is full of love ! 4/5 stars
Host was very informative and communicated well! The property was as described and felt very cozy. The location is across the street and on a hillside from the bay, but there are beautiful views from the porch. The weather was very mild during our stay (last week of June), but the upstairs did warm up considerably during the day. Only recommendation would be install a window unit AC upstairs. This cottage met our expectations and we enjoyed the visit to Maine.
Loved everything about this stay. Comfy, beautiful area and wonderful neighborhood
