Cove Cottage: Quietly Nestled Between The Pines Of Tranquil Seavey Cove

Cove Cottage is a nature lover's paradise and the foundation for your peaceful vacation. Uniquely surrounded on three sides by the calm emerald waters of Seavey Cove. You can step onto the deck and watch the glorious sunrise in the morning or the brilliant stars at night. A paddler's dream, launch your kayak or canoe mere steps from the cottage at mid to high tide and explore the islands of Long Cove and beyond into Penobscot Bay. Birders can be on the lookout for eagles, osprey, hawks, terns, kingfishers and herons. An occasional seal will check on you from the cove to make sure your relaxing. A traditional 1930's style cottage allows you to relax warmly away from today's technology ridden world. You'll want to turn off your cell phone, pick up a book or newspaper, play board-games, talk or take a walk and above all relax, relax, relax.

My partner and I stayed here for an anniversary trip. Cove cottage was both a warm landing pad and a destination in itself. The views out of every window were beautiful, and the cove was a quiet and magical place. We were able to explore the coast, visiting Monhegan Island, and Acadia National Park. We drove to the top of Cadillac Mountain for the sunrise and got engaged! This spot will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we can’t wait to come back for another visit.

This property was as lovely as advertised. I spent most of my time in the hammock or looking out the window. It was difficult to leave! My only comment is that the kitchen is not well provisioned. If you enjoy cooking, as I do, you will be frustrated by the lack of useful equipment. Next time, I’ll bring my own gear. Otherwise, a blissful experience, quiet and gorgeous.

Location, location, location. Accurate description. Right on the cove. Avian life a plenty. Ospreys, kingfishers, water birds. An occasional deer. Our highlight was a Great Horned Owl. Many very excellent dining experiences . Of course, Maine Top Notch lobster shacks. Local tavern restaurants. All kinds of excursions to one’s preference. Hiking trails. Sailing. Maine back roads. Light houses. Simply sit by the cove and meditate. We liked touring the Bath USN ship building facility. That we have repeat visited says everything. And we have thoughts of a third stay. Chill and enjoy

A Cozy Cottage Getaway

We loved our stay at Cove Cottage. The location is ideal for a quiet, peaceful getaway - the property felt private and secluded with fantastic water views and nature all around - while also being a great launching pad to towns and activities in the surrounding area. The cottage itself was nice and clean with rustic charm. We had a great stay here!

The Perfect Vacation

This was our second stay at the cabin and it had everything we needed for the perfect vacation. Days spent in the idyllic, peaceful setting enjoying nature. Great food at Schoolhouse bakery and the Happy Clam right down the road. Short trip to Rockland. Even made it to the last Puffin Cruise of the season. Thank you so much for sharing this special place with us and we hope to stay again next year!

Peaceful visit

We loved how quiet and secluded the cabin was while still having easy access to explore all of the little towns nearby. It felt like we were on our own little peninsula. The views of the cove were beautiful. Marshall Point/Drift Inn Beach were close by. Vanessa and Paul made great recommendations, and our family of four was quite comfortable. Thank you, again, for a peaceful visit.

We've stayed at several rentals in the mid-coast region and this location was incredible! A few steps to a perch on a rock and the week produced a few thousand pictures of all the birds and other wildlife visiting all day long. The rustic cabin was perfect for the two of us and our dog. Nearby to great local restaurants and an awesome ferry trip to Monhegan Island. We can't wait to return!

If you are looking for a quiet secluded spot surrounded by the beauty of Maine then this little cottage is perfect. There are many cute towns surrounding Tenant Harbor. The cabin was clean and cozy. We had a problem with the electrical system in the master bedroom (the breaker box just needed to be flipped) and the property owner was quick to help. Such a nice lady.

It was our first time renting here and we absolutely loved it! We rented sea kayaks and had THE MOST amazing time paddling all around Long Cove! While out on the water, we spotted herons, seals, terns, cormorants, and bald eagles—unforgettable moments that will stay with us a lifetime. Vanessa and Paul were kind, communicative, and incredibly gracious hosts. For example, when my daughter and I each accidentally broke a drinking tumbler while doing dishes, Vanessa was completely understanding.The cabin reminded me of my family’s old cottage on Lake Michigan built by my great grandparents—rustic, but with all the essential comforts. The Wi-Fi, AC, and hot water all worked perfectly. The privacy and connection to nature here are absolutely unbeatable.We enjoyed cooking in and dining out. Highlights included tree-top and cloud gazing the hammock, spotting numerous shorebirds, smelling the ocean breezes, listening to the sounds of wind and songbirds, practicing morning meditations on the big rock overlooking the cove, building a fairy house from natural objects, playing Scrabble (we brought our own board), and eating s’mores by the fire. Our dogs loved Drift Inn Beach and peaceful walks along the cottage road. And we had one heaven-sent sunset that truly lit our hearts up. This place was magical, healing, and restorative—just what we needed. We're so grateful to Vanessa and Paul for sharing this special property with us, and we hope to return again.

A Piece of Heaven

If you want to recharge in a peaceful and beautiful location, this is the place. The cottage is nestled in a private and quiet cove that provides amazing views of wildlife, trees, lobster boats and even Clark Island. My dog and I did our daily meditation on the rocks overlooking the cove every morning. The cottage itself is well equipped with everything you could need. Vanessa, the owner, was in contact on our first day to make sure that we were having a pleasant stay and answered any questions that I had. The cottage was decorated to reflect the true essence of Maine. The location is near numerous great restaurants, although we did cook a lobster dinner at the cottage one night since they have a very large lobster pot to use. Everything was perfect and we will definitely return
