The Perch - A cozy cottage minutes from Tenants Harbor, with water access!

Welcome to the Perch! Four friends created this little hideaway just outside Tenants Harbor in St. George, Maine. The house is set back off States Point Road and at the corner of Rt 131 for easy access to local amenities. Large windows and tall ceilings fill this brand-new build with light and views of the woods at Briney Point. One bedroom + a queen bed, a fold out couch and one and a half baths can comfortably accommodate four people. Note for tall folks - the bed is tucked into the slope of the ceiling :) Brand new appliances and ample space make for delightful meals or just coffee and reading as the morning light filters in from the east. State of the art windows and insulation keep this space warm in the winters and cool in the summers with radiant heat. No AC, but fans on site for your use! Storage loft, large garage, and many the things you might need on site to enjoy the area. Water access is about 3 minutes from the house on a trail through the property - at high tide, put the kayak or canoe in the water to explore Seavey Cove. Great for couples and small families, the Perch is animal friendly, so please bring your furry family members!

Accessibility
This is a one bedroom living area that is on the second floor of the building. There is a set of 18 wide, sturdy stairs up to the main area with a continuous handrail. Guests will need to be comfortable with steps to access property.

Wifi/Cell Service
We find that AT&T customers will not have cell service on the property - you will lose service about 10 minutes out on Route 131. T-Mobile and Verizon has some limited service. Other carriers we are unsure of coverage. We suggest you set up Wifi Calling with your cell provider or utilize a google voice # to make calls if needed. We DO have wifi - speeds of 200+ Mbps mean you can take video calls, stream movies and music, etc.

What Should I Bring
In Maine, we would always recommend a rain coat, some hiking shoes or boots that can get wet, and some slip on shoes or slippers for around the house. In most of the warm months there will be one type of a insect or another to bother you; bug spray is recommended! If you plan to get in the water, bring water shoes. The rocks can be slick and the cove is muddy!

About the Area
Tenants Harbor is a small town on the St. George peninsula - ideally situated about 25 minutes from Rockland and the town's art museums, restaurants, and shopping. Further up the coast are Camden and Rockport, within easy driving distance. Travel 15 minutes down the peninsula and you will be in Port Clyde, with ferry options, and of course excellent dining, coffee and more.

A Note About the House:
Our house was completed in summer 2023. We are excited to share our place with friends, family and you! Because this was recently built, the landscaping for the property is still very much in progress. We are looking forward to populating our property with native perennials and plan to make continuing additions in the coming years.

Please note that there are exterior cameras on the property.
