About this cottage rental

This summer cottage on an island in Maine overlooks the beautiful Penobscot Bay. This rustic cottage has a moderate living space with a wood-burning stove, an inner porch with a great view of the bay, and a lot of family charm. The house was built in the 1930s by two sisters of the Allen family, who owned the property next to this one. This cottage has been passed down through the family and cherished by each generation. The entire property has a lovely view of the Penobscot Bay.
Amenities include: WiFi, beach access, shared driveway but private parking, w/d in home, dishwasher. There are only two markets on the island, so we suggest getting your groceries before embarking on your journey by way of ferry departing from Lincolnville (which runs from 8 am - 5 pm daily).

If you are looking for a calm, rustic retreat away from it all this is the cottage for you.

~ If your party needs a little extra room, we have an additional cabin for 2 on the property that you may also consider ~ See HomeAway Listing # 4210882 ~

Cabin was welcoming, very clean, relaxful, and very quiet. The ocean views from the porches were spectacular. The stairs to get to the beach were scary but worth it. Over-all the stay was memorable.

Really enjoyed our stay and walking on the beach. Lots of nice trails on the island. We spent most of our time on the sun porch.

Our second time staying at this house. Both times it fit our needs. Being above the water front with a set of stairs. We kayaked just about everyday and biked around the island. Spent a lot of time just sitting on the porch watching bald eagles, osprey fly by. Seals popping up and boats of all types. Quiet and relaxing!

This is our second visit, we love the rustic nature of this old summer cottage. We love the beach, swimming, and searching for sea glass. We played a lot of games, swam, went for walks, read, and ate lobster! The only things that are slightly troubling is the place needs a good scrubbing. I swept up a lot of fur, we didn’t bring a dog. We misplaced a charger and when looking under the beds you can tell they haven’t been moved and cleaned under them in a long time. Also, the toilets smell of urine. I cleaned them to be sure they were clean. Maybe there is a slow leak? These things did not ruin our trip! We had an amazing time and will be back again!

This vacation was just what we needed, peaceful and quiet cottage with all amenities, an indoor porch in case of bad weather, an outdoor porch with an amazing sea breeze, and a big cove for swimming or beach walking. We loved this so much we already booked next year too. If you like the outdoors and want to disconnect from the world for a while, this is definitely the place to go!

Pros: Quiet. This is it if you are looking for quiet. The cottage: The glassed-in porch is the star. The windows open too. The kitchen is updated and a pleasure to cook in. The living room is very cozy at night. There was a musky smell when we 1st arrived, but went away quickly once all windows were open and never came back, but then again the windows were open the whole vacation. Cons: The view will be obstructed soon if the owner doesn't cut down some small trees, it seems without affecting the buffer zone. The outside grounds in general need a lot of TLC. The cottage was clean, but there was dog hair all over the bed blankets in one room. Would I stay there again, for $1,400? Yes, if the grounds were cleaned up and the view opened up.

We loved our stay at this fantastic Miane Coastal Cottage. The cottage has some much character and history. The deck was larger then we anticipated from the photos. Enjoyed the views from the deck and sun porch. Lots of places to hike and explore on the Island. We will be back!

The property worked great for us. Kayaking was great out in the bay and around the contour of the shore. Walks along the rocky shore was relaxing. The deck while small worked perfectly for us. Also the closed in porch was great to hangout in during the evening. The stairs to the shore while steep were not an issue. Kitchen was well stocked to meet our needs. Bedrooms worked for us (2 couples for 5 nights plus my adult son and his girlfriend for 2 nights).
