About this cottage rental
The Boulders was originally part of a well-known Maine summer resort. Back in the 19th century wealthy people in New York and Boston would throng, by steamship, to the cool, clean restful Maine coast for the summer. They called it rusticating. The Lookout Inn was a resort built for rusticators, and over the years has expanded to include a number of cottages – including the Boulders.
The resort is as popular today as it has always been. At the end of a quiet peninsula, it has a quintessentially Maine feeling. A long rocky, but walk-able beach surrounds a large open field. Views in every direction are spectacular. The ocean water of Jericho Bay surrounds the peninsula and is dotted with islands. One is even close enough to walk to at low tide!
You will have night skies with more stars than you can imagine, exquisite walking trails, pristine ocean water, and lots of local attractions.
Old-fashioned charm abounds. The Inn serves an elegant dinner just a short walk away. Or stay at home and make your own feast. The kitchen in the Boulders is well-equipped (including a lobster steamer), and there is a barbeque on the deck for grilling local fish.
It is a perfect place to relax and get back in touch with your life, your soul, and your family and friends. The cottage sleeps 8 so bring those you love to share the experience.

8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
Location was superb and our timing of the last week of summer was perfect with warm and sunny days and cool nights. We had a lovely time scrambling around the rocks and making our way to the little islands accessible at low tide. Walker-bys to the park at the point were friendly. The cottage is very basic, rustic and cosy. Good for a family or very close friends. The kitchen was well equiped and stocked with spices and oils for making meals. The deck is a little small for more than 4 people to eat outside, but worked for us. Not too far away is Blue Hill for hiking up the mountain for views and dinner out. Nice library with art displays. The day in Acadia, only an hour away by mostly back roads, was not too crowded this time of year. Overall, our stay was very pleasant.

The Boulders was a great spot, nestled in a small community of other cabins and next to the Lookout Inn (a great spot for dinner!), with easy access to the water and beautiful views of the bay. The rooms are good for a family, with several options, and the location is a great launching spot for adventures around downeast Maine. Recommended!

Not shown in the photos: the telephone wires obstructing the ocean view from the deck. The place was clean, well equipped. And on the very nice property of the inn. Wishe there had been more newspaper, fire starter for the wood stove. I had to go buy it.
