Welcome to this beautifully updated Mid-Century Ranch directly on Maple Juice Cove with over 200 feet of water frontage. Guests enjoy their own private 100-ft stationary wharf over the water (pictured) in addition to the 10X30 floating dock for direct access to the calm waters of Maple Juice Cove. Swim, kayak, innertube or just enjoy the views of nature as well as the comings and goings of the lobster fleet from Sheep’s Point. The property itself is 2 very private acres of lawn andgardens stretching along the waterfront, ideal for yard games, or just enjoying the ever changing water views.

The cottage is located a short distance from all Midcoast Maine has to offer such as the towns of Rockland and Camden, with their vibrant art and restaurant scenes. For a more home-town feel, visit the even closer quaint towns of Damariscotta, Thomaston, Friendship (with Jameson Point Lobster) and the charming fishing village of Port Clyde.

Cove Cottage is a 1950’s ranch home which was renovated in 2022. Currently there are two bedrooms, one with a king size bed and the other with a queen. Mattresses are memory foam and pillow-top Sealys, respectively. There is also an outbuilding bunk house with 2 twin beds. The bunk house is ventilated, insulated and secure but unheated. The bunk house may be furnished with either linens from the house, or the sleeping bags provided by the hosts. The one bath is large with a large shower. The lower level features a queen-size pull-out sofa, and a single chair that folds out into a twin cot. Window air conditioners in each bedroom are provided for your comfort. The fireplace in the living room is a fully functional wood-burning fireplace-a wonderful way to spend a fall evening.

The cottage has been curated in a Danish-influenced American Mid Century style, including some original art from the Long Island art scene of the 1960s. Guests can appreciate the views from the deck and the screen-in porch. Due to low light pollution, on dark, clear nights the Starscape views from the wharf approximate those of a dark-sky preserve. The screened-in porch offers a bug-free dining and lounging outdoor option. There is also a large fire pit for the occasional bonfire. For your convenience we will provide the following: fully furnished kitchen, linens, (2) sleeping bags, bath towels, washcloths, hand towels, beach towels, your first tank of propane for the gas grill, dish soap, dish washing soap, hand soap, laundry detergent, a supply of toilet paper and paper towels, and one can of DEET bug spray. There are 2 kayaks/paddles on property, and 2 5-foot tractor tire rubber inner tubes for water enjoyment. We also have life jackets in a variety of sizes, including children's. We offer wireless high-speed internet and a Samsung Smart TV, with which guests may stream from their Netflix, Hulu, Prime, HBOmax, Internet etc accounts. The Game Room has a felt-topped, vintage 52poker table for card and board games. Presently we offer the following: a full professional poker set; Boston Edition Monopoly; Cards Against Humanity and extension packs (for adults); Choking Hazard (also adults); Uno and others. In the alcove is a cocktail-table style Vintage Arcade on which 1 or 2 players may enjoy games such as Ms. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Space Invaders, Centipede and >400 others. Fun for kids and a walk down memory lane for adults. For the sake of parents' sanity, the sound effects on the video arcade, which are original to each game, can be turned down or off altogether.

Washer and Dryer are on property and free. Detergent and dryer sheets are provided.

While we make every effort to assure the accuracy of this listing, as well as the condition of equipment and quality of provided services, we make no implied guarantee of connectivity for wireless internet, or services provided by a third party. We will do everything in our power to remedy any situation as quickly as possible, and we thank you for your understanding. Please wear the vest when using the kayaks and/or innertubes. Due to the tide, the depth of the cove is highly variable, and there are rocks. DO NOT dive from either the standing wharf or the floating dock. To help you plan water activities, a tide clock is mounted to the wall near the fireplace.

    The property was clean and updated. Cabins are much smaller than I expected with no storage for our suitcases or clothing. I wish fresh towels were easier to obtain. Pool and hot tub was nice. It is right off of a noisy road, the trucks going by at night made it quite loud. The air conditioner had a musty odor. Friendly relaxed atmosphere overall.

    Cove Cottage turned out to be a terrific extension location for our mini family reunion. We have a house in the area, but had more people coming than we could accommodate. Cove Cottage was perfectly located and its being right on the water made it irresistible. We showed up to a clean house, with everything that was advertised — from both bath and beach towels for everyone, to bedding, to the well equipped kitchen. The second refrigerator in the garage was a useful bonus that accommodated our more bulky items like water and soft drinks and ice cream. Having direct access to the water via our private dock, with a couple of kayaks available too, we were able to sit overlooking the cove, which was ideal both during the day and at night watching the stars. A couple of nights we enjoyed sitting around the fire pit and roasted marshmallows making s’mores. Inside the house the furniture was comfortable and accommodated our group. The window air conditioners in the bedrooms were good for the one or two warm days, but this time of year is so nice with the cool temperatures at night. From start to finish our host, Ryan, was awesome. He answered the battery of questions we had before we arrived. He was knowledgeable and helpful and made sure any particular details we were looking for were taken care of. We know from living here that the location is ideal for a run into Rockland for restaurants and art galleries or grocery shopping. We can highly recommend this location and the host.

    Comfortable and well appointed cottage in a great location. The dock on the cove provided a lot of fun and relaxation. Everything we needed was in the cottage and it’s great for families to enjoy nature. The kids loved the arcade table as well! Thanks for a great stay!

The kitchen was well stocked with any utensil we could need. Thank you Ryan for sharing your home and helping to give our family wonderful memories.

    This property and our stay here was, in one word, just that: peace. If you love nature, wildlife, water, a bright and open living space, comfy amenities, and tranquility, this is your place to stay on the coast of Maine. Do keep in mind that you are at least 20 minutes away from any town with things to do (such as choices of restaurants, shops, etc), but the nature access you gain here is well worth it, especially if your stay will be mainly centered on relaxing at the property. Ryan was a great property manager to work with and made sure we had air conditioning that we needed during our stay, and his communication was always friendly. Ryan provides everything you need here: amazingly well-stocked kitchen (better stocked than my own kitchen haha), comfy beds with lots of extra pillows and blankets, a lovely bathroom, washer and dryer… even muck boots for checking out the cove when the tide is lowest! We love this house, its land, its animals, its amenities, its tranquility, and its location. We will be back ❤️

    This was our second summer at the Maple Juice Cove cottage and we would highly recommend it again. It has all the amenities one might need (and more). Immaculately clean, plentiful bed linens and towels, fully equipped kitchen, your own private dock with comfy seating for early morning coffee or happy hour, and a roomy yard with a fire pit. The screened-in gazebo is perfectly outfitted for enjoying a meal or reading a book away from the mosquitoes. This quiet spot is a wonderful place to get-away, kayak and watch the Great Blue Herons, but also close enough to easily access Thomaston, Rockland/Rockport, Camden or points south for museums, hikes, & great restaurants!

    Our stay was just fantastic from the view to the accommodations. The downstairs is great for the family and provides another area to play games and watch TV. The kitchen has everything you could imagine and the 2nd fridge in the garage is excellent with a family. Ryan was prompt to respond to our questions. Check in was easy and the place was very clean. The dock is magical and we spotted multiple shooting stars. I highly recommend this property.

    Great stay and will definitely come back in the future! The Mid Coast area has so much more to explore and this property is the perfect place. The entire family had a blast using the arcade game when the weather wasn’t cooperating and everyone loved being able to kayak straight from the dock.

    We loved staying at this waterfront property for a week in July. The furniture and decor was well curated and we enjoyed reading about its history. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking at home most nights. My husband and I enjoyed using all of the amenities the property had to offer (e.g. corn hole, Solo Stove, kayaks, screened in porch, arcade games). This property was perfect for a quiet and relaxing vacation.

    The house is exactly as described. Ryan was super responsive. The beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the kayaks and wrapping up the evening with classic video games. Our only issue was with the water pressure, which did not get repaired before we left. However, Ryan made arrangements to have the water filter changed to alleviate the problem for future guests. I would definitely stay here again!

    We had a fantastic stay at Ryan’s house. We really enjoyed kayaking on the quiet cove. The only minor drawback is that some vehicles drive fast on the road in front of the house.
