About this cottage rental

Bask in the natural marine beauty and wildlife of Muscongus Bay on the deck of the fourth generation family home, lovingly named Briarnook. Built in the waning days of schooners, Briarnook was completely remodeled and modernized to take advantage of the spectacular 180 degree water and island views.

The two bedroom, one bath coastal cottage features a full deck with seating for a dozen, a sleeping cabin for two additional guests, and an easy ride to the charming towns of Damariscotta, Boothbay Harbor, Rockland, and Camden. Or stay closer to your summer home and climb Pemaquid's lighthouse for a seagull's view of the bay and enjoy fresh seafood at Shaw's famous restaurant in New Harbor.

The large deck provides a wonderful place to relax, and watch local lobster fishermen haul traps and then return later in the day with their catch. Or... get up with the sun, and watch the fishermen as they leave for the day! The large picture windows continue to provide the breathtaking views as you prepare meals in the well equipped , fully modern kitchen.

Make Briarnook your summer or autumn retreat and return to your life refreshed as these former guests did:

“We spent many days seeing and photographing Maine. It was always so pleasant to think we would be returning each day to such a relaxing and wonderful home situated in such an incredible setting.” --M.H.

“We just loved the view! Spent lots of time in the gliders and recliners enjoying the wildlife.”
--J.C.

“Sitting in the glider on our last morning watching the sun try to break through the clouds, and the birds. The layout is perfect and everything is so comfortable and cozy. You don't mind cooking on vacation with a view like that!”
--A.D.

“It is so serene and beautiful here and the cottage is easy to stay and relax in.”

Once again, for our second visit, we had such a lovely stay. Briarnook is a wonderful place to stay to just "chill out." Our host family couldn't be nicer, and they are so accommodating. We look forward to hopefully visiting again sometime in the future!

This property and our host met and far exceeded our expectations for a great place to stay in Maine for our first vacation in this state. We liked it so much, for many reasons, we are returning to the same lovely home next year.

Our two weeks at Briarnook went by so fast. As always, the place was immaculate and well stocked. The view is spectacular and the neighborhood quiet and friendly. The location is perfectly positioned mid-Maine making trips to Camden, Boothbay, Rockland and Bath easily accessible. We spent much of our time close to “home base”…Pemaquid Point and the beach…numerous nature hikes through some of the preserves in the area…and fishing off the dock. There are several super restaurants nearby. We always enjoy our stay here and are already looking forward to next year.

The property was just lovely. The view was amazing and so peaceful! We thoroughly enjoyed the deck overlooking the water and spent much time watching the wildlife…even saw a bald Eagle and a seal. There was a slight issue trying to check in, but Laurie was available right away to get us in. Would highly recommend to others!

Another great stay at Briarnook
Another great stay at Briarnook
This year we extended our stay at Briarnook to two weeks…and we were glad we did. The house and property suit our needs perfectly. Lots of room inside and out…always spotless and well maintained. Everything we needed was provided and the upgraded internet service was much appreciated. It’s hard to beat the location…right at the water’s edge…with amazing ocean views…on a quiet road with friendly neighbors. This year we spent time exploring the nearby sites…plenty of hiking trails…Pemaquid Point…Fort William Henry…kayaking in the Damariscotta River…and the kid’s favorite…Pemaquid Beach. Lots of great places to eat close by…Shaw’s, The Contented Sole, Muscongus Bay Lobster and The Abundant Bakery. The C.E. Reilly grocery store in New Harbor is well stocked with just about anything you need. We couldn’t ask for more gracious hosts…Laurie and her brothers and sister always make us feel welcome and comfortable…so grateful they are willing to share Briarnook with us. Already looking forward to our stay next year.
