About this cottage rental

Snowman Cottage -- Southport Enjoy water views of Cape Harbor and the open ocean from nearly every room in this 3-bedroom/2-bath cottage! The cottage has hardwood floors with area rugs. It comes fully equipped with cable TV and VCR in the living room and a well-equipped kitchen including a lobster pot, or course, microwave and a washer/dryer. It is just a short walk to the Newagen Seaside Inn where you can enjoy the amenities that include tennis courts and a pool at no cost. You supply the linens. Sorry, no pets!



During your stay, partake in the Boothbay Region’s wonderful art galleries, shopping, and the many restaurants. While here, rent a sailboat or kayak, or better yet, bring your own. Join a boat cruise, a whale-watching excursion, or go deep-sea fishing. Play golf on the region's newly redesigned 18-hole course. Hike a nature trail of which there are several, bike around the island and surrounding areas, or just relax in the serene natural setting of coastal Maine.



We are approximately 3 hours from Boston, 3 hours from Arcadia National Park and Bar Harbor, 1 hour from Camden/Rockland and 35 minutes from Bath/Brunswick. It is about an hour’s drive to the famous L.L. Bean store and the great outlets in Freeport if you like to shop.



If you like the beach, it is available at the end of Southport Island. It’s a short drive to Southport Beach, a small, but sandy public beach close by the Hendricks Head Light. There is also a small general store on the island, but a full service supermarket is available in Boothbay Harbor.



The interestingly named Cuckolds Lighthouse, at the entrance to Newagen Harbor, is still an active lighthouse. It is said to be named after a point of land on the Thames River in England, granted to a Londoner to sooth his anger after King John had an affair with his wife. The lighthouse has many stories. One of which is that around the lighthouse the ledges around it are called “collector ledges” as it has been the site of many boating mishaps and marine rescues. It is a beacon to generations of fishermen, and a chosen burial site for some, including our region's much beloved Leland Snowman. Although Leland never lived in this “Snowman” cottage, family members have owned it in the past, thus its name.

Six of us stayed at Snowman’s Cottage for a wonderful Maine vacation. The vintage cottage is a refreshing contrast to the modern homes, with a history built into every room through furniture and artwork. The location cannot be beat and we were lucky to have all the best weather Maine offers. There were a few maintenance issues, but Jill was very responsive and nothing kept us from family dinners in the dining room or evenings on the deck watching the lobster boats return. All-in-all, it was a very relaxing time with short trips to Boothbay Hsrbor for shopping and dining. Oh - and having access to the Nextdoor pool was icing on the cake!

Having the Inn next door is the best feature of this rental. In the amenities they list a BBQ and a hot tub. We had a old grill with no gas tank and there is no hot tub.

This house is very comfortable! From the beds, family room furniture, etc. It is right next door to Newagen Inn with a nice pool, dock, facilities. The view from the deck of the house is breathtaking! Due to the rainy season in Maine this year, there were many mosquitos, but they were everywhere this year.

I've been renting cottages on Southport for years and have seen many, many cottages. Snowman Cottage has one of the best views and locations on the island. We put our kayaks in right from the rocks on the property and searched for sea glass at low tide. Having my morning tea on the deck looking out to the lighthouse was wonderful. The outside of the house needs some work, but the inside has everything you need - comfy beds, new couches, stocked kitchen, great water pressure and hot water in the shower, laundry, etc.... Two families, seven people, ages 11-47 were quite comfortable. It's a rustic, old Maine cottage for sure, however, if you want an affordable place on the water in Southport, you can't do much better than Snowman Cottage!
