About this house rental
The Gables is a historic cottage built in the mid to late 1800's and has always been family owned. The 2 plus acre property is located on a very quiet road surrounded by cottages built by our great great grandfather. The Gables comes with its own private beaches, plenty of lawn for yard games, a hammock for napping and a back porch for watching sailboats cruise the bay. Bring your own kayak, paddle boards, or row boat to get out on the water yourself. The island is friendly for road bikes if you have one you want to bring. Just down the road from the property there is a playground and tennis courts. Be on the lookout for pop-up yoga classes as well.
If you give us a heads up we can put you in touch with a local lobsterman for fresh off the boat lobster or mussels.
The Gables is great for families, couples or the solo traveler wanted to find some quite solitude.
There are two stores on the island for food, a bakery, and a sandwich/ice cream shop. In addition there are a number of gift shops for souvenirs.
For the yachting enthusiast the cottage has its own 6 ton mooring just off the beach.
Be sure and check the ferry schedule--see photos. More information at town of islesboro website.
Check out Ducktrap Kayak and SUP for rentals.

We stayed in August. Absolutely gorgeous setting. Beach access was very nice. We were able to leave our kayaks at the beach and walk down every day. It was a nice, quiet and relaxing stay. Everyone on the island was very nice. We had a great time!

Our stay at the Gables was outstanding. Mike and Ginnie were gracious hosts and communication was easy. The cottage exceeded our expectations: the porch, the view, the island, the history…we loved it all!

This is our third summer in a row staying here, and we had a great time as usual. The bathroom and porch renovations were a very nice surprise this year, and we are already looking forward to hopefully staying again next summer!

We loved this property! Everything about it was authentic and Isleboro was amazing. We loved the fact that it wasn't overrun with tourists....except us of course! Would love to stay here again.
