Description: Couples or families are welcome at this beautifully renovated cottage at the mouth of the New Meadows River, an hour north of Portland, and just steps from the high tide mark. Wake up to southwesterly views of Casco Bay, breathe in the salt air, and watch the comings and goings of local lobstermen as you adjust to a slower pace. In fact, any one of them would be happy to provide you with dinner fresh from the boat. Kayaks and other hand-carried boats can be launched from a small pebble beach.
A kitchen, dining room/living room, sun porch, bedroom with twin beds, and bathroom complete the downstairs. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, each with a full-size bed. With owner permission, futons in the living room and sun porch may be used for additional guests.
Just a mile away are an oceanside 18-hole golf course, kayak rentals, sailing trips, deep sea fishing, fine dining at the Pilot House, and casual dining at The Ledges Pub - all open to the public and located at Sebasco Harbor Resort. A brief walk will take you to The Water's Edge Restaurant, and a short drive will take you to hiking on Morse's Mountain, swimming at Popham Beach State Park, exploring at Fort Popham, and lunch or dinner at Spinney's.
Bath, with its many antique stores and the Chocolate Church Arts Center, is only a fifteen-minute drive. Easy day trips can be made to charming Boothbay Harbor, L.L. Bean and numerous outlets in Freeport, and the historic Old Port in Portland. Museums in the area include the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, the Peary MacMillan Arctic Museum at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, and the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland. Also at Bowdoin College, Maine State Music Theater offers professional summer theater at its best.
The local area has much to offer, and whether you prefer to stay active or relax in the sun at the beach, you'll enjoy your stay in these bright, breezy surroundings.
