About this property

Cove Cottage is a nature lover's paradise and the foundation for your peaceful vacation. Uniquely surrounded on three sides by the calm emerald waters of Seavey Cove. You can step onto the deck and watch the glorious sunrise in the morning or the brilliant stars at night. A paddler's dream, launch your kayak or canoe mere steps from the cottage at mid to high tide and explore the islands of Long Cove and beyond into Penobscot Bay. Birders can be on the lookout for eagles, osprey, hawks, terns, kingfishers and herons. An occasional seal will check on you from the cove to make sure your relaxing. A traditional 1930's style cottage allows you to relax warmly away from today's technology ridden world. You'll want to turn off your cell phone, pick up a book or newspaper, play board-games, talk or take a walk and above all relax, relax, relax.

Quiet/ Peaceful Location

The house provide everything we needed. The location is off a quiet dirt road and neighboring house can barely be seen. Nice quiet piece of land next to the water.

A Cozy Cottage Getaway

We loved our stay at Cove Cottage. The location is ideal for a quiet, peaceful getaway - the property felt private and secluded with fantastic water views and nature all around - while also being a great launching pad to towns and activities in the surrounding area. The cottage itself was nice and clean with rustic charm. We had a great stay here!

Wonderful!

Wonderful cabin in a private area. Quiet and peaceful. Loved watching the tide go in and out. The owners were very easy to communicate with and helpful with giving recommendations in the area. Would stay here again.

Property profile lacks honesty ...

The setting is very serene and secluded. If you want to be isolated, remote, and rustic, you'd find that here. BUT ... there is no central working heat, and inadequate electrical service of tripping breakers from having to use numerous space heaters. As someone with a necessary medical device, reliable electrical service is critical. The property posting as of when we booked months prior, and as of this review, says: "We have a Heat Pump that regulates air temperature. We also provide small portable electric heating for the bedrooms, if needed." Furthermore the check-out instructions as of today state: "8) Make sure the temperature is set at 68 on the heat pump." A very old note on the fridge says that the heat pump no longer works, yet again, that wasn't mentioned at any point leading-up to our stay. We had to choose either, a.) working medical device and no heat; or b.) heat (if the breakers didn't trip), and no medical device. It is difficult not to question the integrity of the owners (Vanessa and Paul) to not mention this leading-up to our stay. We feel like $1,500 was stolen from us. My wife cried and we actually left early to go to a hotel. I received a message from the owner thanking us for the great care that we took of the place and how clean and kept it was after our check-out. That is how we are ... respectful of everything and everyone. Unfortunately that wasn't reciprocated, here. Also, the bed is like sleeping on wood, and the pricing is absurd.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family since the mid 1700's. Part of the cabin was built in the 1930's and the newer section was added onto in the 1970's. The property is unique because it is private and the cabin literally sits on a small spit of land over looking the cove. There is a view of the water on three sides. Also, the cove is a beautiful emerald green due to the reflection of the surrounding trees.
