About this property

Downeast Getaway Victorian Cottage - Year-round

The perfect getaway on 20 acres of privacy, overlooking Flat Bay in Harrington, Maine. Seventy-five feet from the shore, this is a special place for peace and quiet, built with dimensional lumber, boarded & shingled in cedar. It is free of many allergy-causing elements. All the conveniences you would expect in a year-round home, in a setting all by itself. A copy of a Civil War general's home, you enter from the front porch into a large living room, a dining room with view is in the lower level of the tower. There is a fully equipped galley kitchen, one bedroom with double bed, ample closets, and a full bath. Up the winding stairs is an artist's studio and an upper level of the tower with a balcony where a desk at the windows invites the writer. There are ocean views from every room, hot-air heat, internet available, and the house is furnished & applianced including a phone. Unlike at many rentals, your neighbor's construction project won't become a part of your vacation. Privacy is complete.

Great spot relaxing and private!
Lovely place! Rod and Lucile were absolutely delightful and very responsive! Checked on us when Hurricane Lee was making an appearance! 3 things not in the listing: No washer/laundry While the view of the bay is beautiful you cannot really access the water … the tides do not permit. They no longer have a Wi-Fi hotspot- which didn’t really impact us but fyi!

Peace and Quiet
A great place to unwind. Watch the tide go in and out, along with the deer, turkeys and birds in the yard! Clean, everything you need available. Confortable bed. Truly feels like a piece of heaven.

Best vacation ever
Maine became a favorite spot for us. The cottage was so charming despite the fact we had no internet or wi-fi there. A trip to the Paisly Loon in Cherryfield gave us delicious blueberry muffins and wi-fi. The laundromat in Milbridge where we had to do laundry also had wi-fi. The owners were very kind and helpful in locating places of interest. If you are a golfer the people at Barren View golf were great and accepting as were the folks at the Baptist church of Cherryfield. We really hated to leave!
