About this cottage rental

Nestled in a canopy of green with beautiful westerly views from Broad Sound to Casco Bay, Bober Cottage has 185ft of private shoreline that offers the perfect setting for your getaway to the coast of Maine.

You’ll love the privacy of this property, easy access to coastal restaurants, and a full service marina for endless adventures.

Inside the cottage, you will find a fully equipped kitchen, a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, a second floor master bedroom, and a tiny first floor bedroom with twin bunk beds (ideal for children), and a comfortable living room to enjoy the stunning sunsets over the bay.

Outside, you’ll find Adirondacks and a stone fire pit overlooking the ocean. A lush lawn with a stairway leading to a ragged shoreline which is a perfect place to hunt for sea glass, swim, or simply sit and enjoy the view.

We encourage all guests to visit to view many more photos and to learn about the history and surrounds of this beloved retreat.

Things to Consider

As the reviews suggest,  Bober Cottage is thoughtfully organized with many cute touches. Please note, however, that its proportions are small. Some families love the scale because it encourages togetherness, but that is not to everyone's taste. Before booking please consider if 528 (charming) square feet would be right for you. 

The ceiling height in the master bedroom (second floor) is approx. 5'10"—perfect for sitting and sleeping, but could be challenging if you are tall. The children's bedroom has a bunk bed that takes up most of the room. It is perfectly cozy for children, but not suitable for adults.

The cottage décor includes family heirlooms. On the north side is a bronze nude figure sculpted by Christopher Cairns. Lazarus, the saint who miraculously came back to life, rises from a patch of grass and points toward the ocean.

The natural surrounds of the cottage include animals. In addition to an array of birds, chipmunks, and friendly neighborhood dogs, it is not uncommon to see foxes, porcupines, and skunks.

As with most properties that rely on wells, the water can be limited by rainfall. We ask guests to conserve water and report any issues with drips, leaks, or outages so they may be addressed immediately. 

If you are looking for a cookie-cutter hotel or resort experience, then Bober Cottage is not for you. It is ideal for those who appreciate an intimate setting within a few feet of the rocky coast, sunsets from a picture window, and a quaint cottage that has been cherished for three generations.

Sorry, Pets are not allowed at this property.

Great little place with an amazing view. We enjoyed our time here.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful property; stunning setting; lovely outdoor spaces; easy walks to 2 eateries; great communication with the rental agency; super clean.Cottage is *exactly* as described, so no surprises. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware and utensils. Living room had nice supply of games and books. Upstairs bedroom was nicely decorated. Beautiful art on the walls.However, after 2 days it felt so much smaller! My husband is 6’ and could obviously not stand straight in the upstairs bedroom with 5’10” ceilings. Also the bathroom is extremely tight. No bending down in the shower! And a bit awkward freshening up with the tiny sink. We used the bunk room primarily as a place for our clothes etc.Overall I would recommend for a very short stay for a couple, but IMHO it’s not comfortable enough for longer periods. And I really can’t image more than 2 people (even couples with kids) in the cottage for longer stays

It is a beautiful little cottage with amazing views of the ocean. Little further away from brunswick than anticipated but if you are planning to just spend week/end relaxing it is amazing.
