Lupine Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Lupine Cottage is ideal for smaller families or couples who want to be able to walk to Rockland and experience all the area has to offer. Owl's Head is also accessible after a short drive, giving you and your guests a number of options for scenic walks, local dining, and exploring the coast.

Return from your adventures to a beautifully renovated, charming vacation home. The downstairs is open-concept with high ceilings, hardwood floors, a large kitchen, breakfast bar, dining area with seating, and a comfortable living room. The house opens onto a gorgeous sunroom with an ingenious design — the large windows can be opened for a screen porch feel or closed (with the blinds closed) for a cool room on hot days. This room, with its leather chairs and comfortable couch, is perfect for entertaining, reading, or simply relaxing. The well-stocked kitchen is large and fully equipped with all modern appliances including a gas stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The kitchen even opens to the dining area and living room so cooks can still interact with the rest of the house.

The cottage boasts a large deck at the front (water facing) overlooking a lovely lawn, a field of lupines and wildflowers, and views of the bay, Owl's Head, and the Breakwater Lighthouse. The deck has seating, a bistro set for eating alfresco, and a grill, making it tempting to spend entire evenings outside.

Upstairs find a large primary bedroom with a full row of windows, running the width of the house, overlooking the water. Begin and end every day with picturesque views of the horizon.

Very clean and a attractive cottage. I enjoyed the location and view of bay. Great location to small shops and bigger convenient stores. Process of checking in and out was easy and instructions were easy to follow.

Nice cottage
The views of the bay were nice. Lots of windows facing the water from the bedroom and living room and kitchen. Bathrooms were a bit small but functional. Some reviews complained about having to back out into a busy street, but if you have a not-too-big car you can turn around in the driveway.

Master bedroom dangerous
The view was nice but the house definitely has some issues-especially the upstairs bedroom. The stairs are dangerous and I fell down them twice in the evening.

Great cottage
We enjoyed our stay at Lupine Cottage. It was very comfortable, great location and had a great stocked kitchen. The only "complaint" was that there was no deck furniture or grill. We would have loved to sit out and enjoy the beautiful view, but there was no furniture to do so. Also, the grill that was advertised was not there. Overall, it was a good stay and I would recommend it. We will keep it in mind for future trips to the area.

Lovely little cottage
We are long time visitors to the Rockland area and have rented several homes and apartments over the years. Lupine Cottage was perfect for the two of us. It’s very comfortable, clean and has a great view of the harbor. We didn’t cook a meal while there but the kitchen seemed to have everything needed to prepare meals. We enjoyed our long weekend getaway at Lupine Cottage and would stay there again.

Lupine Cottage Review
We had a great stay at Lupine Cottage. Plenty of room for the two of us. Modern updates to the place made it comfortable and cozy. Nice little make up desk set up in the master bedroom next to the window. Nice TVs in the living room and the bedroom. The king bed was very comfortable. Nicely stocked kitchen, had all the important gadgets. Beautiful view out the back windows in both the living room and the master bedroom. It is very dark at night so make sure you turn on the porch light when you go out. It was a little difficult to find the driveway at night coming from town.

Lovely view with a nicely outfitted kitchen.
We enjoyed preparing meals in the kitchen. Comfortable and easy to use. Waking up to the sunrises from the master bedroom was definitely memorable.

Lovely midcoast rental
This rental was clean and the perfect size. The view out back is breathtaking. This rental showcases all of the natural beauty that Maine is famous for. The air conditioning was cold and the water in the shower was hot. All linens were crisp and white. The driveway was a challenge to navigate, however it is manageable. We hope to stay here again.

Great little property
Lovely house with good views of the sea, very well stocked kitchen and perfect for exploring the Rockland to Camden coastal strip. The road out front is indeed a bit noisy , but unless you're planning to spend lots of time in the property, this should not be too much of a problem.

Maine with Ocean View
Modernized cottage, very comfortable. Loved the view and sitting on the deck. The deck needs to be repainted though, lots of peeling paint chips and not good to walk on barefoot. Master bedroom great, smaller bedroom would benefit from a full size bed rather than a twin. Great rental, and pups allowed!

Lupine Cottage/2022
The cottage was very clean and attractively furnished. Everything worked! The deck cushions were located in a chest in the front room but that should be stated in the book in the cottage. The address of 62 Ingraham Dr. was also Route 73, a very, very busy road. You could not back out of the driveway. You had to turn around before leaving the driveway. The person in charge of the rental agency in Rockland was especially helpful. Her name was Jennifer. The maintenance person whose name was Wolfgang was very prompt when we called Jennifer to report a broken step on the deck. {Someone should have checked the property before guests arrived.} He replaced the entire step. The front of the house was never shown on any on-line review. I really liked the cottage but not the location! Jennifer from Vacassa should be commended! She was great!

Nice place, good nightly rate, high fees make this place not worth it.
Good location, clean (except for the grill which was filthy) and recently updated but the microwave broke and while we reported it, never heard back from the management company. Altogether with the high fees not a good value.

Cute Seaside Cottage
We’ve been vacationing in Maine for more than thirty years so we knew ahead of time the cottage was located on the main thoroughfare between Owls Head and Rockland. The cottage is nicely renovated and the neighbors were quiet. It’s a great location for exploring the Mid Coast if you don’t mind some road noise. Taller travelers need to be aware the half bath off the kitchen appears to be a renovated pantry so we had to sit sideways on the toilet. We were surprised that we had to make up the bed upon arrival. Overall the property was clean and comfortable.

Great area lots to do and explore. Loved Owls Head light house and McLoons Lobster shack.
Perfect clean property for a couple or family with small children. View off back deck is wonderful! Views also greet you when return back to this lovely cottage. Busy type road out front but house sits back and the deck out back is perfect with views of ocean and sail boats off in distance. Loved it here! Thank you!

Lupine Cottage week rental
lovely cottage, well stocked for renters and very clean. The view you are greeted with upon entering the cottage is beautiful! The location makes it easy for day trips to places like Owls Head light house, gorgeous coves along the coast. Road out front is busy but sitting on the back deck fads that away to the view of sailboats in the distant ocean. Perfect for a couple or a couple wiht small child or two.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a positive experience at the Lupine Cottage. It was in a great location and the views truly are stunning. When I had a question for SummerMaine, they were very responsive, and when we decided to stay an extra night, they made that process easy and painless. My only complaint would be that the house is directly on a main road, so there is some traffic noise.
