The small town of Harpswell in the Casco Bay region of Coastal Maine boasts narrow peninsulas and island chains that jut south in the Atlantic Ocean. Harpswell is comprised of areas known as Harpswell Neck, Cundy's Harbor, Great Island, Orr's Island, and Bailey Island.

Harpswell is located about 45 minutes north of Portland, Maine and is located on the eastern mid-coast section within the gulf of Maine. It is populated by approximately 5,000 Mainers. It's primarily home to blue collar residents who enjoy life on Maine's longest rocky coastline. Harpswell has been for years and continues to be a thriving lobstering town.

Lobsterman pull their traps within your view, and the Casco Bay Ferry's Bay Cruises allow you to gain the perspective of the land from the water. There are many opportunities for recreation, shopping, museums, and water-related activities.

A 15 minute ride to Brunswick will provide you the opportunity to shop at a variety of grocery stores, markets, boutiques, and antique shops. Brunswick is also home to a multitude of fantastic restaurants with a variety of cuisines. However, should you want to experience some of Maine's most famous eateries, Portland is a short drive away and is home to multiple James Beard award winners. Brewing is a booming scene in mid-coast Maine. You will find many fantastic breweries on the drive between Brunswick and Portland.

Brunswick, a small town located on both the ocean and the Androscoggin River is most notably home to Bowdoin College. For history buffs, Bowdoin College was the home of Maine's most famous professor and Civil War hero, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. General Chamberlain not only served in the Union Army, but was also the President of Bowdoin College and the Governor of Maine. His home of 50 years has been preserved by the Pejepscot History Center and is now operated as a museum open from Memorial Day weekend through October.

There really aren’t enough words to describe the serenity of this place. The porch! We lived on that porch! The short walk to Morse’s food truck on opening day was awesome, the proximity to both Freeport and Portland gave us activities when/if we wanted them, and the coziness of the cottage made us not want to leave! I hope to return again soon. Perfect birthday week. Thank you!!

It was very comfortable sleeping and the views were amazing!! There is much to do around the area and our private beach to launch the Kayak. Having fresh Lobster off the boats was wonderful. The sunsets were very nice, we loved sitting on the porch at night with the ocean breeze. The cottage was clean and we had everything we needed. The communication from the owner was great. I would go again.

The property is beautiful. You have a view of the ocean from everywhere except the bedroom, and the water lapping and birds singing make it SOUND beautiful, as well! What a wonderful, peaceful cabin! It is small, but the design is perfect for a beach house! Everything works perfectly and it’s extremely comfortable. My favorite spot in the cabin was the back porch, where you can have coffee and read and watch the sunset—THAT was a painting, what amazing sunsets! I can’t say in words how much I loved it there. I can’t wait to go again next year! Thank you, Ashley and Russ!

We had a great time. The cabin was cute and cozy, with a beautifu view. Loved watching the lobster boats leave and return. Best part was being walking distance to great food and buying lobsters fresh off the boats. Great place to stay !!
