About this house rental

Off the beaten path nestled along the banks of the historic Penobscot Bay, a sunny, tranquil home offers room to gather with loved ones for relaxation and renewal. You’ll know you’ve arrived at Fort Point Cove Cottage when you catch your breath at the scenery upon entering the home. The back of the cottage features an expansive view of the river as it flows into the bay, where all manner of wildlife may be observed if one knows how to look. Here is a place to enjoy quality time with all the amenities of home as you experience the rare beauty of Maine. Fort Point Cove Cottage is the kind of place to practice the fine art of human “BE-ing.” Treat yourself to time in a tranquil vacation retreat that is private and charismatic, yet close to all the attractions that make Midcoast and DownEast Maine renowned........Life is Good!

This cottage features 2 full bedrooms with a 3rd open loft bedroom, all furnished with new high quality luxury mattresses. Vaulted ceilings with an open great room below; the center of the home houses a grand open brick fireplace with wood burning stove to keep you warm on those cool summer nights. The galley kitchen is fully stocked along with a Keurig coffee maker that provides everyone's favorite brew. Poll barn provides covered outdoor grilling/dining with a spectacular water/mountain view.

Area Attractions: Stockton Springs houses its own lighthouse located in nearby Fort Point State Park, has its own local beaches and is centrally located along the coast which provides easy travel destination to both the Midcoast and DownEast Regions -- 40 miles to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Mt. Desert Island, and Stonnington; 30 miles to Bangor, Bluehill, Ellsworth, Islesboro and the popular destination of Camden Hills noted for its quant shopping village and where mountain meets sea; 40 miles south to the Rockland/Rockport area and Thomaston where you can shop at the Maine State Prison Store featuring its beautiful wood furniture and crafts handmade by the inmates. We are just a hop and a skip to Bucksport featuring Fort Knox and the beautiful Penobscot Narrows Bridge, Winterport for its quaint village with its winery and brewery, Searsport with its 8 miles of antique shopping while featuring 'Museum in the Streets' with its Maritime Museum and nearby Moose Point State Park and Belfast for its quaint shops, galleries and co-op.

This was a perfect spot to land for our family vacation to Maine! Great location and easy to travel for all of our day trips to Bar Harbor or Camden. Lovely house that works well for kids of all ages. Owner has great communication and was even able to ship something that we left in the house! We would definitely stay here again!

All as outlined by the owner. Fully equipped inside and out. Very close to walking into your own home. Beautiful setting, with a nice porch to enjoy the outdoors. TV with streaming for those rainy days (we had two). Close to the grocery store (Hanaford), the pastry shop (Sweet Cheeks), and numerous walking trails at the nearby parks. Watch the bald eagles, water birds, and deer.

Just a superb house with views of the Penobscot Bay & river. A very comfortable and well equipped home. Very clean. Well stocked kitchen. Lovely spacious yard with fire pit and Adirondack chairs. Easy access to Belfast, Bucksport, Castine and only an hour from Mount Desert Island (Bar Harbor, Acadia NP). Great hiking in the area. Great little restaurants. Ate our weight in lobster. Five stars! Darlene was a great host: communicative and accommodating.

Our family had a wonderful week at this rental! It’s conveniently located near many great places to visit for day trips - Camden, Belfast, Lake St. George, Sandy Point beach, and of course Bar Harbor, Bass Harbor, and Acadia. The house was clean, comfortable, well equipped, and had enough space for all of us. The screened porch was perfect for early mornings spent drinking coffee and planning our days. We enjoyed the water views and watching the bald eagles each evening around the fire pit! There is no direct water access from the property but the host was so helpful with suggestions. The weather was a bit warmer than usual, and the house does not have AC, but there were ample fans provided and it cooled considerably each night. I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest this rental to anyone traveling to the area - it’s a real gem!
