About this cottage rental
Secluded down a dead-end dirt road, our beach-side cottage sits in the lap of a beautiful sand and pebble beach, so close you can flip a coin into the water from the screen porch at high tide.
The building was a Sears and Roebuck kit house of 1923 which we recently remodeled with a new bath and a half, kitchen and master bedroom. We have retained the original charm and added more comfort and convenience: outside shower, inside bathtub, a wood stove for chilly nights.
Three bedrooms contain a king-size bed, a double and a pair of twin beds. Above the screen porch is a sleeping loft with another single bed. A stand alone bunkhouse has large bunk beds for a total of beds for ten! Bring your extended family and let the kids find green crabs among the rocks while you watch the osprey’s hunt as you have cocktails on the deck.
Wonderful walks are available island-wide protected by Islesboro Island Trust. Walk to the trailhead of the Herbert Preserve, just a mile away. The trail, 45 minutes, winds along an extensive estuary.
Summer programs–Big Tree Boating, Island Explorations and Expeditions, Islesboro Summer Recreation, Pripet Horse Riding–available for kids.

We've been coming here for years. The quiet, the beauty, the restorative powers of the place - it just doesn't get better than this. We do nothing but rest and explore and read. We take brave dips into the cold water. We kayak. We sit on the beach, the deck, the porch. We nap. We eat together, looking out the picture window onto the Bay. We watch the neighborhood eagle and the loons. It's a little slice of heaven. Thank you, Tom and Sue, for sharing this little paradise with us every year.

The house is right on the beach, and we spent most of our time outdoors, either on the deck, the beach, or in the canoe and kayaks. The kitchen was bright and airy, and it was well stocked. There were 8 of us, so we appreciated the large dining room table where we could all fit easily. We all enjoyed using the outdoor shower. We're looking forward to coming back.

I lived in this special home for the summer and fall of 2015, and its hands down the most wonderful place I've ever lived. You have access to two beaches, both are protected and are easy to paddle and swim around in. There are amazing walks through woods and tidal marshes. There was a blue heron friend who came every morning to watch the sunrise too:) The kitchen is super functional. The bedrooms are cozy and"summer cottage quaint". The woodstove works very well and can warm up the house even on the coldest of nights. If you get the chance, do yourself the favor to stay in the amazing home.
