Oceanfront Cottage on 2 Acres - 4 Miles to Town!

Enjoy easy living in the northeast as you stay in this 2-bed, 2-bath vacation rental cottage that sleeps 6 in Milbridge! Nestled on 2.5 acres of private land, this home provides a secluded landscape and peaceful respite for many relaxing days spent seaside. Admire the view from a kayak trip across the Narraguagus Bay, or from the comfort of the private wraparound balcony. Whether you're here for a peaceful retreat or family getaway - this cottage on the coast is a must-visit in Maine!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Full Bed | Loft: 2 Twin Beds

Take a hike down to the coast where you'll be treated to world-class views of the bay, framed by a granite shoreline dotted with vibrant evergreens. You'll have first-class access to all of Milbridge's best activities - whether it's hiking, biking, kayaking, or learning the art of lobster fishing from the locals!

Spend some downtime inside enjoying nearly 1,500 square feet of modern yet comfortable living space. You can choose to spend the downtime unwinding with a movie on the flat-screen TV, or outside with a pair of binoculars, bird watching on the balcony.

Bring back fresh seafood from Chipman's Wharf to whip up a local favorite right from home. The kitchen is fully equipped with updated appliances and a kitchen island to ensure you'll have plenty of space and amenities to cook with ease.

As you share lobster rolls and clambakes around the dining table, you'll have an unbeatable view through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the coast just outside. If you want a closer look, head out to the wraparound balcony, where panoramic views and the sound of the waves slowly lull you to sleep.

Rest easy on a queen bed in bedroom 1 or on a full bed in the second bedroom - each with balcony access to catch the sunrise in the morning. The teens can retreat to their own space in the loft to sleep on one of the 2 twin beds, ensuring that everyone has a restful night before another busy day down by the bay.

-- THE LOCATION --

Just a walk out of the door will bring you to a day spent exploring the great outdoors! Hike the coast, bike through the trails, sunbathe on the beach, or rent a kayak to take out to some of the small offshore islands. Bring the bigger boats along for a trip to Petit Manan Island just outside of the bay.

Don the hiking boots and leave the electronics behind when you visit some of Maine's best national parks less than an hour away from Milbridge. Head to Acadia National Park for acres of prime wildlife spotting and natural monuments, or over to Roque Bluff for a stroll across the Englishman Bay.

Stay local with a 10-minute drive into the charming town of Milbridge. This fishing village exudes a classic small-town east coast character with shops, seafood restaurants, and historical points lining the streets. Head an hour down the coast to Bar Harbor for a big-city experience on the edge of Maine.

Incredible view!
The house was beautiful, well appointed, the only downside was we were about an hour from Bar Harbor & Acadia. As we were on vaca and due to being right on the ocean it was worth it. Being able to hike right outside the cottage was very convenient. We really enjoyed our stay there. It was just my sister & I so there was plenty of room for us. The loft is definitely for teenagers. We are both over 50 and only went up there once to check it out.

Lobster Vacation with Friends
The house is in a beautiful setting at the ocean’s edge. The living area is good size, as well as both downstairs bedrooms. Everything was in working order. I think this home works best for adults and possibly older kids due to some of the railing. It was further from Bar Harbor than we thought but the setting was awesome! We slept well! We loved watching the boats, sunrises, and sunsets!

Stunning sunrises & idyllic cottage
Precisely as described & exactly what we needed. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful location. Walked several times to amazing rocky coast picnic area in McClellan Park. Lovely house with stunning views. Took full advantage of the sprawling deck & scattered benches on the property.

We enjoyed our week in Milbridge. The home had everything needed for a peaceful time away. The on site Wifi and cell service was a bonus. We loved watching the lobster boats. The home was the prime location for exploring the coast . The owner was very receptive to answering questions.

FANTASTIC HOUSE AND LOCATION!
My original summary was too long, so I'm going to keep it short and sweet. This place was AMAZING. If you're looking to escape the madness of daily life, this is the perfect place to be. We adventured up and down most of Maine's coastline and our only regret was not spending more time at this house. The setting made for a perfect sunrise and nothing beats the sound of the ocean's tide as your alarm clock :) So don't pass this place up, I promise you won't regret it ❤️

Blissful retreat
We desperately needed to unplug, and this was the ideal place to do it. The house is great, the views sublime. Great fire pit and benches throughout for peaceful contemplation. The location is remote, but we loved it. We enjoyed getting seafood at Chipman's wharf and day trips to Winter Harbor and Bar Harbor. Acadia is easily within reach. We will definitely return to this house.

Many pros and cons to this property
The location alone sells this property. Outstanding!! Once upon a time, I'm sure this property was well cared for, but it is not now. It has a fairly well equipped kitchen, has quality linens & towels. If you want consistent shower temps however, this is not the place for you! After 2 days of cleaning, we made it our own, but upon arrival the floors were still wet, the dishwasher had food deposits in it, the kitchen drawers needed cleaning, the BBQ was so dirty we did not use it, the deep fryer in the cupboard was full of oil and food particles and the doorknob came off in my hand. This spectacular deck without a table and seating for outdoor eating is a shame and the kitchen island has a bar seating area and no bar stools. Fell in love with the view but the cottage needs some serious TLC. Multiple pull out drawers had broken brackets and were repaired with tape which did not hold !No instructions as to trash and recycling so we obtained that info from a neighbor. Would be helpful for future guests. We purchased a cooler & ice packs and a crockpot which we left for future quests to use. Gorgeous spot but not one we would return to.

Beautiful home
This was a beautiful home, nestled in the trees of a small town. A perfect quiet get away... a little ways away from restaurants and busier towns, so be prepared for a bit of a drive to those sort of attractions. Overall, the view was amazing, the house was great, and the nearby park (McClellen Park) was such an added bonus!!!

Gorgeous view. Amazing stay!
My wife and I stayed here for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We were shocked at how gorgeous the view is from the benches by the beach. The pictures do not due it justice. This was one of the best places I have booked in a long time. The views will literally take your breath away. We seen an eagle our last day fly right by us when we were on the deck. Had an amazing time and can't wait to come back. 10 stars!!!

wonderful house!
Too many good things to say about our stay! The house is wonderful. It comfortably accommodated our family of 4. The house is nicely decorated, the furniture is comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked and there is ample linens and supplies. They have lots of books and DVD's too. It is nicely secluded in the woods. The view is breath taking! The pictures don't do it justice. Often I would just sit and look out at the beautiful scenery. We spent many mornings climbing on the rocks below. The town of Milbridge was just big enough. There is a grocery store, a dollar store, a few little shops. I did see a family doctor and a very small hospital but fortunately we did not need their services! It is approximately a little over an hour to Mount Desert Island or to the Canadian boarder. We found lots of interesting places in-between. There are many places to fish and hike around the area. If you are looking to stay off the beaten path, this is definitely the place.

All of the descriptive words will not properly prepare you for your stay! Beautiful open water with lobster boats working within a hundred feet of the bluff. Sunrise was a treat, hiking along the large boulders and exploring the area revealed the beauty of Maine. We were fortunate to be there when the colors were at their peak and we explored several of the harbor towns along the coast as well as Baxter State Park and Bar Harbor. The house was great and as described, we enjoyed the views from the large deck as well as from the dinning area and great room. Milbridge is a small village with friendly folks and great food especially breakfast at Milbridge House. No issues with the property and Tom and Nance were a joy to work with, we look forward to our next Maine Adventure. Larry Whittington

Views from the great room are majestic. Beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped.
Overall great experience. Would highly recommend. Don't miss the two pathways to the shore. One has a bench. Only critique: floor creaks a lot. Outdoor table would be a nice addition.

Vistas, serene and sunny
A sweeping vista dotted with pine trees and a large deck or bench at the cliff's edge to sip your coffee in the morning. Cant get much better than that! Lobster boats chug by (we were a bit early in June so just a few) checking their pots. The house is tastefully decorated and well maintained. My favorite was the swirling leather chair so comfy to read while engulfed in the beauty of the view. We really appreciated the well stocked kitchen (basic spices), pans, bowls, etc., the updated shower off the Master bedroom and the foam mattress. Each bedroom has a slider and view to the ocean. very nice. Grill available, too. You can use your phone or ipad for the internet or calls but there is no service for TV viewing - only for DVDs. The local library in town surprisingly had some very current movies to rent for the week at no cost! (closed Monday and open only until 4pm). Milbridge is a mellow town with only two restaurants, one gift shop, gas etc but a handy grocery and dollar store. The Milbridge House restaurant was excellent - we went for an impromptu lunch and my fish was very fresh. It looks like it is quite popular for breakfast, too. We highly suggest Robinson tours that leaves right from Milbridge. The boat holds only 6 people, he is informative, friendly and his dog, Maisy, is adorable. We took it to Petit Manan Island to see the Puffins. There is also a lobster man literally two miles down the road- Chipman's. We ventured to the campground just next door and discovered a trail that went right to the water with big rocks to climb and a picnic table. We hiked both trails at Petit Manan (about 10-15 minutes away), ventured to Schoodic Point that now has bike paths and carriage roads (just 1-2 years old) and Winter harbor has some cute gift shops and restaurants. A day trip to Bar Harbor to hike trails is about 80 minutes depending on traffic. I suggest leaving early to avoid the one lane of traffic from Ellesworth to Mount Desert Isle/Bar Harbor. We loved "Mainly Meat"/Atlantic Brewhouse for some tasty, no frills BBQ ribs, chicken, etc. And last but not least, Nancy and Tom were very pleasant and were very responsive and timely in answering our questions.
