Waterfront Cottage with Sunsets, Hot Tub and Dock access

(Clarification on cancellation policy: We will fully refund your $$ if we can still find a renter and we will try to do so. That's just not one of the options on vrbo.)

This cottage is feet from the water in serene Long Cove on the Damariscotta River. The deck and hot tub face the widest part of the river (which is actually a mile-wide bay off of the ocean) and the famous Maine sunset. The dock and sun-warmed rocks provide access for swimmers. Though otherwise nestled into the trees, the house has a large lawn off to one side for croquet or tossing a ball. The rocks in the river are often covered with seals.

The cottage itself is beautifully restored - all wood inside and out - with an open floor plan and skylights in the kitchen. Pretty much all of the comforts of home are provided, including linens and a fully outfitted kitchen. Wood is stacked for the fireplace all year long.

There are a number of hiking trails nearby. The kayak rental place in town will deliver and/or pick up kayaks. You can rent in town and kayak back to the cottage; put in at Biscay Pond and kayak thru the wetlands to Bristol; or paddle to some nearby islands with public access for hiking, including one with a pair of nesting bald eagles. Or bring your bikes and peddle to Pemaquid Beach or Lighthouse. There’s a big pot in the kitchen if you want to purchase lobsters at the co-op – or they’ll cook ‘em right up for you there. Life is good at 'Marguerite’s Cottage'…

Maine River Cabin
We loved the area and the view of the river was gorgeous! The location was great for day trips sightseeing. The pictures and description were a little misleading. It has 1 1/2 baths instead of 2 baths. The furnitue in the living area was pretty shabby, not what was pictured, and quit dirty and dusty underneath. There were spider webs around the windows and fireplace. The bathroom shower had mildew in the grout and on the door, the toilet seat was broken. The king bed had a broken leg which we propped up with a piece of wood. We were pleased with the washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker and stove. The grill on the deck was pretty greasy but the deck furniture was comfortable with a great view of the sunsets. It would have been nice to have some cleaning supplies available as we were there for two weeks. All in all we did have a good stay and and very much enjoyed our vacation.

Supremely Happy
Overall our experience staying at this South Bristol cottage was an amazing one. Sitting on the ship's bow shaped deck in the morning, coffee in hand, and staring at the Damariscotta river six feet below your feet was a heavenly way to begin each day. The residence is a charmingly simple & sparing home of knotty pine that gleams with the patina of time and love. The property was perfectly and completely outfitted. Everything we needed for our stay was on hand and in abundance. The long strolling lawn to the left of the cottage as you face the water was a perfect place to throw a ball for the dogs, play catch with my sons, and it lead to a pine needle lined path to a small peninsula of rocks where we launched paddle boards, and swam in the deep clean brine for hours. Just offshore from the house is a chain of small tidal islands that for the most part are rocky outcroppings that disappear at high tide. A bob of sealions resides on those rocks, sunning themselves during the day, and hunting the waters for food at dusk. Our nights were blessed with the soft sounds of barking seals, the bell like tolling of sailboat rigging ringing against masts, and the breaking of small waves upon the rocks. There's not a lot of businesses in the area to speak of, but what there is suited our every need. Strongly recommend the Harbor Side Cafe, Fisherman's Co-Op, and the Cove Side for a Dark & Stormy or 2. All within 5 mins of the rental. Our host Kirsten was a delight. The trip was perfect.

Perfect Maine vacation
This was our family’s first vacation to Maine, and it was everything we imagined. Kirsten’s property was ideally located, secluded, yet close enough to civilization. The house was rustic, yet spotless, well-stocked, and very comfortable. Our favorite parts of our trip were the view, the huge fireplace, the dock, and the central location on Maine’s mid coast allowing us to take day trips. Kirsten was quick to respond if I needed to ask a question. We will definitely return.

Best cabin we’ve rented
This place was everything as promised. We woke up every morning and sat on the deck and watched the seals playing in the water and sunning on the rocks. Every night we had beautiful sunsets. We loved having the windows open and taking in the sea air. We had our 2 dogs with us and to the left of the cabin was a clearing that they loved running around and exploring. We have been coming to Maine for 18 years with our dogs and this was by far the best cabin we have had. If I could change one thing it would be that we wish we found this cabin sooner. There are tons of hiking trails nearby. The app All Trails helped us find the best ones. The south Bristol co op provided us with a delicious lobster dinner for a reasonable price. Thank you for allowing us to stay and we will definitely be back! Christie, Rob, Scarlett and Valor

Peaceful escape
One of my favorite things about this rental was how quiet and peaceful it was. No noise from traffic, just the sounds of water and birds. The house was clean and provided all we needed to cook meals. Kirsten was very responsive to all questions I had. The view of the river is spectacular. Very reasonably priced for waterfront.
