Cove Cottage: Quietly Nestled Between The Pines Of Tranquil Seavey Cove

Cove Cottage is a nature lover's paradise and the foundation for your peaceful vacation. Uniquely surrounded on three sides by the calm emerald waters of Seavey Cove. You can step onto the deck and watch the glorious sunrise in the morning or the brilliant stars at night. A paddler's dream, launch your kayak or canoe mere steps from the cottage at mid to high tide and explore the islands of Long Cove and beyond into Penobscot Bay. Birders can be on the lookout for eagles, osprey, hawks, terns, kingfishers and herons. An occasional seal will check on you from the cove to make sure your relaxing. A traditional 1930's style cottage allows you to relax warmly away from today's technology ridden world. You'll want to turn off your cell phone, pick up a book or newspaper, play board-games, talk or take a walk and above all relax, relax, relax.

This is a very well kept, comfortable and cozy property in an absolutely beautiful location. We had a wonderful time. The absolutely perfect weather that we had all week was a fantastic bonus, but we could tell that we would have enjoyed ourselves even on foggy, rainy days.

Peaceful visit

We loved how quiet and secluded the cabin was while still having easy access to explore all of the little towns nearby. It felt like we were on our own little peninsula. The views of the cove were beautiful. Marshall Point/Drift Inn Beach were close by. Vanessa and Paul made great recommendations, and our family of four was quite comfortable. Thank you, again, for a peaceful visit.

Beautiful, Peaceful and Convenient Hideaway

This was our second vacation at this lovely, charming, and very clean and neat cabin. It is a special place at an extraordinary and convenient location with easy access to other midcoast towns and sights. One can watch the tide rise and fall at the cove that's just a few feet from the cabin. Our host is highly responsive, good natured and saw to it that we had everything we needed. We can't wait to go back!

We've stayed at several rentals in the mid-coast region and this location was incredible! A few steps to a perch on a rock and the week produced a few thousand pictures of all the birds and other wildlife visiting all day long. The rustic cabin was perfect for the two of us and our dog. Nearby to great local restaurants and an awesome ferry trip to Monhegan Island. We can't wait to return!

This place is bliss...

A rustic yet comfy little cabin with all that we needed. Quiet and private with nice dirt road for a walk and what a nice surprise that Atwood Quarry was within walking distance. I swam there almost every day when spending summers here almost 30 years ago and its still gorgeous. So many things to do nearby...fabulous restaurants and activities or just sit by the water and watch the tide roll in and out while reading a good book. We hope to return!

It was our first time renting here and we absolutely loved it! We rented sea kayaks and had THE MOST amazing time paddling all around Long Cove! While out on the water, we spotted herons, seals, terns, cormorants, and bald eagles—unforgettable moments that will stay with us a lifetime. Vanessa and Paul were kind, communicative, and incredibly gracious hosts. For example, when my daughter and I each accidentally broke a drinking tumbler while doing dishes, Vanessa was completely understanding.The cabin reminded me of my family’s old cottage on Lake Michigan built by my great grandparents—rustic, but with all the essential comforts. The Wi-Fi, AC, and hot water all worked perfectly. The privacy and connection to nature here are absolutely unbeatable.We enjoyed cooking in and dining out. Highlights included tree-top and cloud gazing the hammock, spotting numerous shorebirds, smelling the ocean breezes, listening to the sounds of wind and songbirds, practicing morning meditations on the big rock overlooking the cove, building a fairy house from natural objects, playing Scrabble (we brought our own board), and eating s’mores by the fire. Our dogs loved Drift Inn Beach and peaceful walks along the cottage road. And we had one heaven-sent sunset that truly lit our hearts up. This place was magical, healing, and restorative—just what we needed. We're so grateful to Vanessa and Paul for sharing this special property with us, and we hope to return again.

What a view!

We had a beautiful stay in tenants harbor. The cabin was cozy with incredible cross breezes making it the perfect temperature. We saw bald eagles, loons, great blue herons, osprey, oyster catchers and more. We brought our kayak so everyday was an easy launch from the yard adding more adventures in fishing. The master bedroom provides an amazing view of the sunrise. It also provides incredible stargazing opportunities from the comfort of the bed. We saw 3 shooting stars. The house is perfect! As for the location again perfect! Great for exploring surrounding towns and it’s a quick ride to the 2 local general stores and ferry to Monhegan Island (which we did and greatly enjoyed). It was a wonderful stay and we hope to visit again in the future!

Idyllic waterside Cottage

This was a lovely place to stay in Maine and we would most definitely return! POSITIVES: varying and generous water views; great birding to enjoy; both outside tables had umbrellas - a “must” when the sun is out; great coffee maker; lots of pillows in living room - helps when reading in bed; lovely flowers in flower boxes; lots of windows; easy to work combination door access; clean & pleasant bathroom; Hosts very responsive & timely in responding to questions. NEGATIVES: Sliding glass door needs a screen - it diminishes pleasure, comfort & air-flow in the Great Room without a sliding-screen door; TV directions: step by step directions should be provided- not all guests are tech savvy; exterior door handle is loose, wobbly & inner part of handle appears to be separating from outer part; both sides of bed need lighting for reading; recessed ceiling lights on one side in Great Room don’t turn all the way off (on the “hammock” side of room); kitchen needs: wax paper, foil, a garlic press, sharpened knives for cooking, more trays for “lap dining”, real dishes VS plastic , although pretty, plastic is plastic. THANK YOU! Thank You for sharing your water-side cottage… it gives those of us who don’t live there, opportunity to experience a bit of Maine! We enjoyed it immensely!

Quintessential Maine Experience!

This property was the quintessential Maine experience! The layout was perfect for myself, husband, and two girls. The location was ideal to the day trips we planned to take (Camden, Rockport, Owls Head, Rockland, Freeport, and whale watch tour out of Boothbay). The views just can’t be beat! Overall, I would stay here again but I would have preferred a rental that included linens and towels. We also had electrical nuisances and became good friends with the breaker box from switches tripping. I would have liked to have known that the heat wasn’t working prior to checking in (we were provided space heaters which worked, but kept tripping the breaker and blew out dust). The kitchen is functional, but nothing luxurious (I could tell it was an old range oven and microwave from the photo). We cooked a lot and packed picnics and I felt the fridge was too small but we made it work. Also, there’s currently not a hammock despite photos showing one, but my girls had their Eno hammocks so that wasn’t a big deal! The owners were very quick to respond to my concerns and were excellent hosts!

Beautiful location right next to the water. The view was magical whether it was foggy, sunrise, high-tide, low-tide, or when the water was still as glass. So many birds to watch and stars to see late at night while sitting around the fire pit. We worked ourselves into the cold but invigorating water a few times and our dog loved swimming and hunting for chipmunks. The place is cute and clean. The location is ideal - short drive to a beautiful beach, quaint lighthouse, great local restaurants, and within a 30 minute drive of Camden and Rockport. The hosts are lovely people and very responsive.

Stunning Location and Property

We loved our stay at Cove Cottage! Vanessa was kind and communicative and made us feel very welcome. The cottage is comfortable and beautiful inside and out. It has everything you need and loads of natural light. The location — right on the water — is filled with wildlife and the rise and fall of the tides. Maine at its best! Close to Thomaston and Rockland and great restaurants within 5 minutes in St. George. Can’t wait to return!

A Piece of Heaven

If you want to recharge in a peaceful and beautiful location, this is the place. The cottage is nestled in a private and quiet cove that provides amazing views of wildlife, trees, lobster boats and even Clark Island. My dog and I did our daily meditation on the rocks overlooking the cove every morning. The cottage itself is well equipped with everything you could need. Vanessa, the owner, was in contact on our first day to make sure that we were having a pleasant stay and answered any questions that I had. The cottage was decorated to reflect the true essence of Maine. The location is near numerous great restaurants, although we did cook a lobster dinner at the cottage one night since they have a very large lobster pot to use. Everything was perfect and we will definitely return
