Harpswell, Maine
Nestled in a canopy of green with beautiful westerly views from Broad Sound to Casco Bay, Bober Cottage has 185ft of private shoreline that offers the perfect setting for your getaway to the coast of Maine.
You’ll love the privacy of this property, easy access to coastal restaurants, and a full service marina for endless adventures.
Inside the cottage, you will find a fully equipped kitchen, a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, a second floor master bedroom, and a tiny first floor bedroom with twin bunk beds (ideal for children), and a comfortable living room to enjoy the stunning sunsets over the bay.
Outside, you’ll find Adirondacks and a stone fire pit overlooking the ocean. A lush lawn with a stairway leading to a ragged shoreline which is a perfect place to hunt for sea glass, swim, or simply sit and enjoy the view.
We encourage all guests to visit to view many more photos and to learn about the history and surrounds of this beloved retreat.
Things to Consider
As the reviews suggest, Bober Cottage is thoughtfully organized with many cute touches. Please note, however, that its proportions are small. Some families love the scale because it encourages togetherness, but that is not to everyone's taste. Before booking please consider if 528 (charming) square feet would be right for you.
The ceiling height in the master bedroom (second floor) is approx. 5'10"—perfect for sitting and sleeping, but could be challenging if you are tall. The children's bedroom has a bunk bed that takes up most of the room. It is perfectly cozy for children, but not suitable for adults.
The cottage décor includes family heirlooms. On the north side is a bronze nude figure sculpted by Christopher Cairns. Lazarus, the saint who miraculously came back to life, rises from a patch of grass and points toward the ocean.
The natural surrounds of the cottage include animals. In addition to an array of birds, chipmunks, and friendly neighborhood dogs, it is not uncommon to see foxes, porcupines, and skunks.
As with most properties that rely on wells, the water can be limited by rainfall. We ask guests to conserve water and report any issues with drips, leaks, or outages so they may be addressed immediately.
If you are looking for a cookie-cutter hotel or resort experience, then Bober Cottage is not for you. It is ideal for those who appreciate an intimate setting within a few feet of the rocky coast, sunsets from a picture window, and a quaint cottage that has been cherished for three generations.
Sorry, Pets are not allowed at this property.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Thank you for sharing this wonderful cottage with us. We enjoyed our stay and loved the views!
We had a great time! This place was, small, quiet and charming! We loved being right on the water!
Great views of the bay. The Dolphin restaurant had excellent service and food.
The view was breathtaking and the sunsets spectacular! This location was clean and well stocked and even provided seed for feeding beautiful hungry birds ! The property manager was very easy to reach and very responsive. It is a great space for two people and can accommodate 2 small children in bunk beds, just keep in mind there is only one (very small) bathroom.
It was WONDERFUL!!
Everything that we expected. We had everything we needed.
The cottage was very clean, small, but perfect for two of us (we are on the shorter side) The property is very happily situated. Beautiful views with coffee in the morning and a fire at night. When the tide goes out taking a walk below on the shore. Walk across the street to Erica's Seafood or to the Dolphin Restaurant. A nice relaxing weekend.
The cottage is cozy. The bathroom is quite small and master bedroom has a low ceiling (6’ and you need to hunch over to get around), but we found these small prices to pay for the setting and views. Property was very clean and check in was simple/quick. We had one minor issue and the manager was very responsive. The two restaurants steps away from the place also were a terrific surprise. They were great!
This review is based on a weeklong stay, two adults. The cottage is small -- might have felt tight if it were more than two of us. But it is so well planned, so well organized, that often you find yourself just admiring the layout. Beautiful and cozy. And the location is awesome. You are pretty much at the end of the road. Lobsters are sold at the pier across the street. The fire pit in the yard is killer. We would definitely come back here. Many fond memories of our weeklong stay at Bober Cottage.
Wonderful get-away
