About this property

2 BR Shorefront Shingled Classic Pristine Long Water



Wonderful getaway! An enchanted seaside classic with expansive views straight down secluded Crockett Cove. Sun filled, sedate, romantic and beautifully appointed. Astounding views of the huge rolling wild flower filled central meadow of Cove Meadow. Owner Managed with an eye to detail, and a view to your comfort and enjoyment of all that is here to experience. Sited on 7 magical acres of mostly open meadow surrounded by stands of ancient trees and moss carpeted forest with one 1/4 mile of private shore, the cottage has its own exclusive two acres and 300 feet of shorefront.(It is the guest cottage to the main house but quite independent with no shared facilities or space. Own Organic kitchen garden and own exclusive firepit. Excusive free access to two small kayaks and one canoe. On site launch for your small boat. A serene and peaceful retreat for contemplation, or a special occasion ..a favorite of writers, artists, photographers, naturalists, experienced wilderness paddlers, fishermen and amateur astronomers. Kayak launch site on property affords experienced ocean kayakers a wonderful daily departure for exploring the many nearby islands of our spectacular archipelago in the safety of waters outside our busy working harbor. July to October just before and after hi tide fish striped bass right from our shore or by canoe. Delicious clams and sweet wild mussels right from our shore. Eagles, Osprey, Kingfishers every day and an occasional seal or otter. Double Bed in Master B/R..Single in Guest B/R both dressed with down alternative on top of good mattresses, with very fine bed linens. Modern and well equipped kitchen, nice dinner and table ware. Attractive bath w/ glass shower. Ice Cream Maker, French Press Coffee Maker, Espresso Machine, Nicely equipped kitchen.

Truly a cut above most other island vacation rentals.

Working on additional current interior photos of guests bedroom, kitchen and master BR several were rejected for inadequate size. my apologies.

Cove Meadow Cottage
I was looking for privacy and quiet; did not realize the host lives right next door and the very busy road runs just behind cottage. Beautiful views in front, road noise from behind, which I’m sensitive to. Floors are chipping their paint and are uneven, hard to get clean. Everything else above floor was clean. As a yoga practitioner the floor is important. I know what questions to ask next time. Host is very sweet and caring.

Lovely stay
Lovely property. House very clean and quaintly decorated. Did not realize the owners house was right next door. She was a lovely host and did not intrude on us. We wanted to be in a private spot. Overall I would recommend a stay. Lovely trail down to the water front. So relaxing.

Why they chose this property

When I first laid eyes on Cove Meadow I knew I would never see or have an opportunity to be the caretaker of such a magnificent and unique property. 7 acres of meadow, ringed with tall ancient woods, 1800 feet of shore cove frontage, estuary frotage and brook frontage. I have restored to pristine conservation standards and done the main house and its guest house and gardens to honor Maine and island traditions of simplicity.

What makes this property unique

a very large private park of 7 acres with 1/3 mile of private shore; exclusive access to two kayaks and a canoe, private exclusive shorefront area with hammock & frepits; own organic kitchen garden, satelite TV, espresso machine, ice cream maker, 24/7 wifi
