Waterfront Cottage on Tidal Cove with Dock

Thank you for your interest in our coastal home in Mid-Coast Maine. We are excited to share this dreamy island spot with you. Come visit our cottage on a cove with nature and sea surrounding you.

No boat is required to reach Barter’s Island...just drive your vehicle across the small swing drawbridge by the country store. Once you are here, you can enjoy cocktails on the deck, kayak off the dock when the tide is in, or roast s'mores by the fire pit. If you are looking for more excitement or adventure, it is available just 10 minutes away in Boothbay Harbor where you will find shopping, fine dining, and boat trips. Even closer, by car or kayak, is the stunning setting of Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens.

Please come stay awhile and enjoy life in Maine.

Secluded slice of a Tidal Miracle.
Just a perfect getaway. Very well maintained home with a few handy man quirks. Power went out and the Generac generator kicked right on. House is well stocked, clean and perfectly situated for a secluded trip. I would mention that you have to walk thru one bedroom ( attic dormer) to get to the forth bedroom. And there is no door between the two just a curtain. Which might be an issue if it was all couples. Overall this was a perfect getaway. Loved the location. The kayaks were great ( better pay attention to the tide) and we really enjoyed the fire pit. Thanks for sharing your little paradise with us.

Perfect Location
The house is so peaceful and located in a very private, quiet area. Waking up every morning to such a beautiful view was something I'll always remember. The house was very comfortable and well stocked. Jennifer was always very responsive when we needed her. The only thing we could have used was a few more mirrors in the bathroom (such a petty request, but when my husband tried to shave it was a bit challenging). Overall, I can easily recommend staying at this lovely home. Wish I was still there.

3 week stay - I loved it!
I wanted to stay in Maine for 3 weeks - I chose this location so I could be sometimes by myself and sometimes with friends. From this location, there is a lot to do locally as well as within 1 hour drive if desired. About 40 minutes to nearest Amtrak station in Brunswick if friends are visiting. Locally - many preserves to walk, kayak/paddleboard at house, minutes to Boothbay Harbor - schooner and wildlife boats, restaurants. This house was great for me as it was not too big when I was by myself and the few guests I had were comfortable in the bedrooms and other small bathroom. It had everything we needed and, although we did minimal cooking, it had everything if you wanted to cook. Nice spaces outside and inside. At night, the stars are plentiful and it was just great to sit around the fire pit, look out onto the water and stare at the beautiful sky! The house was so comfortable for us it did not feel like we were staying in someone else's house, it felt like our home! Communication with owner was great and easy although we had no issues so it was mostly to send her thanks and a couple of pictures of the Northern Lights we were fortunate to see on our 2nd night there. Lovely home, do not hesitate to rent if you want an easy location with very close drives to so many wonderful things in Maine.

Quiet tidal cove
The property was just as described. Kayaking around the cove was great with one-of-a-kind views. Location was close enough to town for easy day trips. Fantastic food and great people at the local Trevett store at island entrance. Overall, we had a wonderful time, and the host was very responsive and helpful.

Waterfront beauty!
Our family all enjoyed this beautiful waterfront home for the week we were there! It is so peaceful and relaxing. Every morning my husband and I sat on the back porch and enjoyed our coffee. Our adult kids loved kayaking, reading on the porch, swimming from the dock, and crabbing. This was a great location. We went to Boothbay Harbor several times and The Maine Botanical Gardens right down the road was fun! Pemaquid Point Lighthouse was really great too. We had no problems or issues. Everything was wonderful.

Lovely property
We all enjoyed our stay very much. The location is really beautiful and peaceful. Tried kayaking for the first time which was a fun experience. I love how the house sits on the cove. Inside it is open and full of light. We enjoyed sitting outside on both the front and back decks. We saw different birds and even a deer on the property behind the house. We already booked it for next summer!

Exactly what we were looking for.
Our family had a wonderful time, thanks to this beautiful location. Your comfortable home provided ample space for our loved ones to visit with our mother/grandmother, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. The pictures simply do no justice to the real views. We shared precious memories as we watched the sunrise and sunsets from your amazing deck. We are forever grateful to have had this opportunity in your lovely home. Thank you. T & M

Peaceful Serenity
The location on the cove is so wonderfully peaceful all day especially in the early morning and evening hours. We launched the kayaks from the dock. The host was amazingly responsive, we had a couple glitches but was quickly resolved. Best lobster ever at Cabbage Island Clambakes and Karen's Hideaway. Great short hike at Porter Preserve. My family loved the peaceful quietness of being on a dead end street where my grandson rode his bike for hours. Lots of toasted marshmallows on the ouside fire pit.

Had a wonderful 3 weeks on Barters Island
From the moment you pull up to this house, you will captivated by the view of the cove and the Back River. Had some beautiful afternoons reading and relaxing on the dock, with a cool breeze to make the humidity more bearable. The cove is a great spot to kayak too. The house has everything you need for your stay. The kitchen is well stocked for all of your cooking needs. The house is very clean and well kept. The owners, Jennifer & Seth are very quick to answer your questions or deal with any issues that you may have during your stay. The patio on the side of the house is a great spot to have a bbq dinner, and later make a fire in the firepit and have s'mores. The location on Barters Island is very quiet and in 10 minutes you can be in Boothbay Harbor with its many restaurants, shopping, etc..If you like craft beer and pizza the Boothbay Craft Brewery is a must! There is also a General Store about a mile from the house which is nice to walk to for breakfast/lunch. There are also many activities that you can do right from the Harbor. Our favorites are the ferry to Monhegan Island and the Cabbage Island. If I ever book another trip to this area I will absolutely book this house!

Perfect house for us
We LOVED this house! The location was perfect for what we wanted!!!! And the natural light that floods the front of the house is simply the best!!!!! I do have to say that more lighting is needed by way of lamps for reading, especially on a cloudy day or at night. And my second suggestion concerns the upstairs.....a handrail is NEEDED for the steps and a gate at the top...... I always think about safety for children and adults. We would definitely rent this house again but would not plan to use the upstairs.

Perfect house and location!
My husband and I were very happy with everything about this rental! Everything was great, from the setting on the island, the neighborhood, and the house itself. We felt very much at home; the bed and furniture were very comfortable, the place was extremely clean and decor was lovely. The views from the deck and the dock were beautiful. Even views from the back and side of the home were gorgeous, and we saw some beautiful sunrises. Not to mention the stars in the night sky, which were amazing. The setting could not have been better. The setting was private and peaceful, yet within a 5-10 minute drive there were so many things to do and see in the Boothbay area. I highly recommend Porter's Preserve for a nice relaxing hike and beautiful vistas of the water. We also took a ride on Captain Fish's Cruises on the bay and saw the islands and some beautiful lighthouses. The weather was perfect. We could not have asked for more out of a vacation.Thank you for such a great experience!

Seeing Stars for First Time!
The property is just far enough from Boothbay to experience the night sky ablaze with stars. For a small town city girl, this was quite a first time treat. We used Tri Cove Lane as a base to explore the area. Property is clean, well appointed with everything we needed. Grocery was close, as were Boothbay restaurants. Acadia National Park was a day trip well worth the time. Would highly recommend this place. Our only comment would be a shorter stay time. For us, most of the sightseeing could be done in 4 - 5 days.
