Islesboro, Maine
Privacy, magic, loon calls and your own beach. Wake to a sparkling sun on the water, sleep to a glittering Milky Way above!
An amazing, island hideaway, my 3-room cottage is situated on a wooded 5-acre bluff overlooking Bounty Cove. Perfect for kayakers, poets, sweethearts, or friends, it features a private wraparound deck, open-plan living/dining room, and a gorgeous, new custom kitchen. The bedroom has a double bed and a wall of windows looking out to the woods and water beyond.
Eco-friendly, there is a small bathroom with hot/cold sink and a brand new odorless, electric composting toilet. The hot water shower is on the deck, where only the eagles and seagulls can see you.
The cabin is fully equipped with all linens, cookware and excellent spices and provisions. Dine in or on the deckside table with tin lights strung through the trees.
A lovely Pottery Barn sofa can pull out to a full bed, although the cabin is best suited for 1-2 people and NOT good for young children.
Islesboro island is a 20 minute boat ride by a Maine State Car Ferry that leaves from Lincolnville Beach hourly from 8-5. Tickets are roughly $30 r/t for car & driver and $12 for passenger.
This is a quiet family escape and there is another house on the property that is not visible from The Rookery. Please share driveway and parking respectfully.
Minimum 4 nights and maximum 7 night rental during peak season, July-September.
Bucolic, quiet, secluded, and peaceful. Step off the ferry and step into the 30's or 40's of a quiet rural village. Don't expect nightlife, restaurants, or a downtown stroll. But if you want to dial it down amid nature, endless ocean side views, kayaking, and hiking experiences, this cozy cottage for a couple (not big enough for more) and Isleboro is perfect - but don't tell anyone, we want it to be kept a secret gem!
Our stay at the Rookery was wonderful. The property is beautiful and the house beautifully appointed. The newly installed kitchen was a real pleasure and well stocked with pantry items as well dishware/pots/pans. The outdoor shower was very enjoyable with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The self composting toilet worked as promised with NO odor. My wife and I had a very relaxing stay in this secluded location and enjoyed kayaking daily from the property's nearby beach. We can't wait to return. Out host, Selby, was very attentive and easy to communicate with.
We had a great time on Islesboro. Selby left a lot of thoughtful touches like a welcome basket and cream in the fridge. The cabin is comfortable and lovely and exactly as advertised! Thanks for letting us know about the town beach and the swing up the road. The kitchen is super well stocked and pleasant to use. Highly recommend this for a couple's get away!
Comfortable and clean, although small. Great view. Didn't love the compost toilet and outdoor shower
Everything you could need was provided in this magical get away ! The Biggest surprise was how much we loved the outdoor shower it was wonderful to experience hot water and a breeze The location was easy to get to and yet secluded We can’t wait to come back !!!
