Solitude, silence, and peace. If you are looking to leave the weight of the world behind, this is the place. Old world Maine is what we prefer, the wood frame and early decor of turn of the turn of the century cottages - and the way life used to be. Including before television and internet. While Iām sure theyāll improve (the spotty) internet at this cottage - I almost prefer they donāt!
This little hideaway is tucked away from neighbors - I think there are some, but you canāt tell from there. The orientation of the cottage is entirely on the view of the quiet expansive cove, with its beautiful stillness, a few herons, eagles and terns, the ebb and flow of the tides, and a sailboat that never leaves.
If you need a place to think, this is it. But if you need to venture out, everything āMaineā is within a short drive. Damariscotta for shopping, Pemaquid Light for Maineās iconic ocean views, local lobster shacks - everywhere - even a āsecretā restaurant close by :)
And Maine humanity is everywhere. Strike up a friendly conversation with anyone and youāll find it.
The cabin is well equipped in old Maine cottage style. It is not a āburbā house on the water. Itās a lovely renovated cabin with atmosphere and a view - from inside or outside on the deck. There are even kayaks available for use.
Canāt thank the owners of this Paradise enough for sharing their special place. We will return.
