About this cottage rental
Peak Summer Weekly Rentals, Friday-Friday
June 23 --> September 8
Shoulder Season Rentals
June 2nd --> 19
September 6--> October 9
This roomy, rustic, cottage, built as a guest house in 1917 has water views to the east and west. Kitchen, breakfast nook, living room, two new bathrooms, four bedrooms and best of all a recently restored wide covered porch overlooking spectacular Mackerel Cove sunsets.
The fall shoulder season in Maine is glorious but be prepared to bundle up in this woodstove-heated cottage when the sun goes down in cooler weather. Early Fall flexible rates and lengths of stay.
The location is ideal for families with kids who like outdoor exploration. A short walk through woods to a private cove for swimming and kayaking; a sandy beach a short drive away; a nearby General Store and a local restaurants will keep you supplied. The home comes with a ping pong room, and two kayaks. A spruce woods on the north and bayberry, lilac bushes and ornamental plants along the south side separate it from neighbors. The driveway and well are shared with a third neighbor. Walls separating bedrooms are thin so bring your earplugs for added privacy. The only frills are the new bathroom fixtures, the recently installed water filtration system and most of all the remarkable beauty that nature supplies. Visitors to Bailey Island choose to return again and again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Spruces! The house had everything we needed and is in a wonderful location. Views of the bay and the sea to the west and east. We had all our meals on the lovely big porch.

We have pretty much everything we need on this property. it is a charming rustic cottage, but location was just right for all the things we have planned to do - kayaking, oyster farm visit, tide pools and various types of the Maine coastline, good restaurants on Bailey Island. We were fairly close to all of that and more. We saw some beautiful sunsets on the property. We would suggest the owner include a sunset photo in his listing!

My boyfriend and I came up for a quick weekend away and once we got to the property, we regretted it wasn't a longer trip. The Spruces is full of rustic character and charm and it was incredibly peaceful to sit on the porch and just listen to the sound of the water. Our dog Korra had a blast running around the yard in between the wild flower beds like an obstacle course. It had everything we needed and we will definitely be visiting again soon.

Our host, Jake, was always responsive to any questions or concerns we had. The house itself was as pictured, and will work for anyone familiar with what a rustic Maine coastal cottage truly is. To us, it seemed in need of maintenance, and could have benefited from a bit of freshening to make it more welcoming. Beds were comfortable and clean, but felt as if we were sleeping in someone’s attic. Bathrooms had been updated, and were clean, except for the many dead bugs in the upstairs tub, beneath the rubber bath mat. A few windows have been replaced with new ones, but the rest are suffering from dry rot. One window next to the kitchen table, actually fell apart in my husband’s hands as he closed it before we began our return trip home. Fortunately the glass didn’t break in his hands, and he was able to carefully place the window pane in the rotted frame. Several lights had burned out bulbs, including half of the string of Christmas lights used to light the way up the stairs. A few of the fans in bedrooms were very dirty. We were asked to take only short showers because the well providing water for the cottage was shared by other houses, and was in danger of getting too low. Dead, dried, flaking flowers in vases on the porch and kitchen tables greeted us upon arrival. If properly maintained, this would be an adequate rental for a family that only uses it to sleep, while enjoying everything the area has to offer. The natural beauty of coastal Maine, is well with the trip.
