About this property

Our adorable classic Maine cottage sleeps three. A new adjacent bungalow accommodates an additional two people for an extra charge of $350.00 a week (a great place for the kids to sleep and hang out!).

The cottage has an updated kitchen and bathroom. There is a wooden table (that can fold out) in the living room for indoor eating. We have a fully outfitted heated bathroom (shower, no tub) with new fixtures. Upstairs, there is a loft-style full bedroom with a spectacular view of the ocean. There is a small single bedroom downstairs. The living room has comfy furniture and a lovely gas fireplace for those rare chilly summer mornings. There is WiFi but no TV. Linens and towels are provided.

The screened-in porch, which overlooks the Gulf of Maine, features a family-sized table for dining out on summer evenings. Attached is a small deck with a charcoal grill for you to enjoy. Two kayaks (one double and one single) are also available. During the day, luxuriate on the warm rocks a few steps away or take the short path down to Pleasant Beach for swimming, snorkeling, crab-hunting, fishing, and sun-worshipping.
We have a fire pit right by the water where you can make s'mores and look at the stars.

The cottage boasts a stunning view of the bay. Sip your morning coffee on the porch and watch as lobstermen ply their trade while children climb the rocks along this secluded coastline. No crowds here!

Nearby seafood shacks and restaurants in the area are well known, or if you're nice to the local lobsterman, you might have fresh lobster brought directly to your front door.

Located 12 minutes from Rockland, 10 minutes from Owls Head, 35 minutes from Camden Hills State Park, and near many other Midcoast attractions.

We also welcome a well-behaved dog for a small fee, but this is a cat-free, no-smoking property.

I am happy to answer any questions about our wonderful Maine cottage.

-----

There is also a fun bunkhouse behind the cottage that has 3 beds and a little front porch. It is a great place for the kids to hang out, to use as an artist studio, or to simply have some quiet time! There is NO bathroom, but there is a mini-fridge and coffee maker and it is only ten steps away from the main house. It is available for rent for an extra $350.00 weekly.

Great spot on the water

We stay in Maine each summer and this cottage right on the water with access to Pleasant Beach did not disappoint. We needed a place that would allow pets. This cottage was perfect for us and our 7 month old lab. We had a great week kayaking, exploring all mid-coast Maine has to offer. The cottage is rustic and everything you'd expect and want when getting away to enjoy the coast of Maine. The only thing missing was another weeks stay. Hope to stay again in the future.

A sweet oceanfront cottage

Our family enjoyed our stay. Our kids (4 and 8) loved exploring the beach at low tide and playing games on the porch at night. The location offered lots to do with hiking, beach and Rockland all nearby.

Yellow Cottage

We enjoyed our stay on Maine's Mid-coast. The view from the cottage can't be beat. We enjoyed sitting out on the bench by the shore, as well as in the large screened in porch. While inland it was hot, it was quite comfortable at the shore. Easy access to good seafood, shopping and other services.

Awesome property

Loved the cottage and surroundings, everything was as described. Clean and homey, with a cool sense of history to everything. The views are even nicer than they look in the pics, and Laura was super communicative and easy to reach. Definitely want to return some day.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Trippe

Greetings,
My dear cousin Stewart left this lovely cottage to me. It has been in our family since 1895. My family and I are fortunate enough to stay at the cottage often, since we live not too far away in Yarmouth, Maine. I think you will love the traditional and cozy atmosphere of the cottage, and the views are stunning.
