About this property

Beach Front in Magical Cape Rosier Newly renovated.

Cape Rosier is a magical place. Under every rock, around every corner, under the sea wonders are to be found. Enjoy the magic of a rocky beach, the sweet blueberries in the field across the way and the sandy beach just a short walk down the road. Whether in the sun or the swirls of fog, Cape Rosier is a magical place.
The chalet is a peaceful retreat to enjoy time away from the bustle of everyday life.
The Cape is located in a beautiful area surrounded by great biking, boating, nature walks and beach exploring. Just down the road you can explore the Holbrook Island Sanctuary where you can take easy hike to see wonderful birds and beautiful lilies in the pond. Visit the 4 seasons organic farm market and the Nearings good life Center. Or just sit by the shore (or inside the cottage) and watch the boats go by- the 4 masted schooners, lobster boats and more. Watch the seals, loons, cormorants and dolphins swim past. This is the cottage that has it all for a great get away.

Most of our guests are repeat customers. Book early to avoid disappointment.

We so enjoyed our lovely A-frame on the bay! The chalet is beautifully and thoughtfully appointed from an aesthetic and functional perspective. There are so many features like solar, motion-activated walkway lights, propane heating unit as well as wood-burning stove, gas grill and bayside picnic table that add to the enjoyment of the beautiful property. The owners are as gracious and accommodating as can be.

We love this clean, charming, well-appointed and light-filled chalet and are already planning another stay next year! Cape Rosier is indeed magical, and Rosemary and Buzz are the perfect hosts in every way. We spent hours on the beautiful new porch/verandah overlooking the water, seeing loons, porpoises, seals, osprey, even a bald eagle. Love the rocky beach, too, where we could store a rented kayak. Can't say enough about this idyllic location and lovely, peaceful, charming chalet.

Great Stay in a Gorgeous Spot

Lovely stay in a beautiful part of Maine - we were looking for some place to decompress and couldn't have asked for a better spot. The Chalet is small but well-designed for a comfortable stay and the hosts are fantastic. Isolated yet close enough to groceries, restaurants, etc to access easily. New deck is a lovely place to sit and watch the boats and birds. Highly recommend.

My family had such a restorative, peaceful stay at this beautiful home. We’ve fallen in love with Cape Rosier thanks to friends who have been coming here for years, and we were delighted to find such a special spot to explore the area, including wonderful running, hiking and swimming spots. The cottage itself is airy, modern and comfortable, and we loved listening to the sound of the waves and the buoy bell at night, and watching the birds over the ocean. We also appreciated Rosemary’s warm welcome and the helpful information she shared about the cottage and the area. We would highly recommend this place to others, and are grateful for the chance to stay here.

Wonderful hosts and property

A charming chalet with an amazing view of the water. Very clean and comfortable. Plenty of room to lounge indoors or outside. The owners are a delightful couple that made us feel very welcome. Enjoyed getting fresh lobster a short distance away. A wonderful place to relax and enjoy nature.

Perfect for Kayaking!

My wife, daughter and I had an amazing time exploring Cape Rosier by kayak. The wildlife was incredible - with many seal sightings. The Chalet was perfect - very comfortable with amazing views! We love Maine - and the Blue Hill Peninsula did not disappoint. We had a great time exploring all the coastal towns - great art, great food and friendly people. Rosemary and Buz were wonderful hosts!!

Picturesque retreat

My family of 4 and our dog had a wonderful stay at the Chalet. Buz and Rosemary were wonderful hosts, setting up a crib for us in advance and bringing in a high chair for the baby. The view is spectacular, the house super clean and well-appointed and the location is perfect for enjoying and exploring the area. We hope to come back again. Many wonderful memories made here. Thank you Buz and Rosemary!

What a dream! We’ve stayed in 5 or 6 spots in Maine and this is definitely a favorite!!! Rosemary and Buzz are wonderful hosts, and enjoy sharing information about the area. The house was recently renovated and had a fabulous covered porch that looked out to the bay. I planted myself there all week- reading books, eating little wild Maine blueberries, and watching tall ships and lobster boats go by. We saw seals and dolphins and loved the sound of the seagulls at a nearby island. Dinner three nights was lobster from a nearby lobsterman. Most restaurants and stores are 20 minutes away, so we came with groceries and ate at home because of our dog, but there are very good options from this short distance. Perfect, quiet week balanced with some exploring in nearby towns. Thank you!!!

Tranquil paradise

This was our second time staying at the chalet, and there's a reason we returned. Cozy and quiet, it overlooks the Penobscot, nestled among trees. Cape Rosier and this property are magical, embodying all things Maine—wild blueberries, pine forests, and fresh lobsters nearby. A short walk takes you to Bakeman Beach, but we mostly enjoyed our own private cove just steps from the door. Morning coffee there was a dream. Great hiking spots are nearby, and there’s plenty to explore around the area. Buzz and Rosemary are wonderful hosts, and the chalet is both private and beautiful. The entire property is just lovely. It was just the relaxing and rejuvenating trip we needed. We love this magical spot and hope to return for many years to come.

Absolutely Perfect

Lewis and Rosemary's property was absolutely perfect. It was wonderful to walk across the lawn and be right on the beach/water. The kitchen was well-outfitted and the house itself very comfortable. We stayed in the upstairs bedroom and had no trouble with the spiral staircase (I'm 60 and my husband is 70). It was peaceful and secluded, but we were able to get to Tinder Hearth in 15 minutes and Bagaduce Lunch in 20 minutes. If you're looking for a beautiful coastal rental in Maine this is perfection! Thank you Rosemary and Lewis for sharing this special property!

5 stars!

We stayed for a week at this gorgeous property. Rosemary and Buz went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. Their hospitality is one of a kind and are also some of the kindest people we have met. The beach house is kept in pristine condition and has everything you may need. The views were breathtaking. The cove is quiet and peaceful. Local lobster down the road and Acadia National Park is about a hours drive. The perfect Maine getaway!

Wonderful

We had such a great respite from the daily grind! The cottage was perfect. The setting is amazing...we were able to see seals catching fish, seabirds and the beautiful coast line and islands from the windows and just a few steps outside the front door. We took daily walks down the road to a sandy beach for swimming and beachcombing. It is a nice spot from which to take day trips to Acadia, and local villages. The entire property is lovely and well cared for. The cottage was clean and very comfortable. Probably one of the most comfortable and tidiest cottages we've ever rented. Rosemary and Buzz provide multiple resources for activities, restaurants in the area. They were happy to help us with anything we needed.

Magical indeed!

An absolutely beautiful place! If you’re looking for peace, quiet and restoration, then this area is for you. The chalet was as advertised; magical and immaculate. As part of a family compound, it’s location still lends itself to privacy and autonomy. Be forewarned, staying here in the chalet will spoil you and sets very high standards for any stays you have elsewhere. To say it was “immaculate” is no exaggeration. Beautifully decorated and comfortable as well. We only used one bedroom during this stay and were grateful for a firm mattress. They have thought of everything in their amenities; fully equipped kitchen, binoculars, outdoor seat cushions, market umbrellas, Adirondack chairs, lawn chairs, a picnic table and grill and even a luggage rack (so grateful!) Their welcome/info binder was literally the most up-to-date, detailed one that I’ve seen and filled with recommendations and a sprinkling of delightful humor. The kitchen is cozy yet efficient and we cooked most every night using the gas stovetop and outdoor grill. A private beach is directly in front of the chalet. By coastal Maine standards, it is wonderfully accessible in terms launching kayaks (which we didn’t bring this trip, but you can rent.) A midweek storm left us without power for only a couple hours and we didn’t even realize it (until Lewis popped over to check on us) because of their backup battery and generator systems. They even shared their garden onions and lettuce with us! Highly recommend!

Nickerson Chalet

Very impressed. Chalet was very clean. Nice view of the ocean. Saw many sailboats, lobster boats, schooners. We even saw a young eagle fly over one day. We had a great time. The weather was finally nice for the week after a long summer of mostly rain. We are considering going back again next summer.

Peaceful and beautiful

What an incredible place to spend a week, and Lewis and Rosemary were kind and gracious hosts. There’s nothing quite like waking up and looking out to the morning fog in the bay. We brought two kayaks and rented two more. They were delivered to the property when we arrived. Kayaking in the bay every morning was so peaceful and quiet. We saw seals, porpoises, eagles, cormorants, and sea gulls. I biked throughout the area on some amazing, hilly roads. The chalet was cozy and perfect for our family of four. We took the queen in the loft for the views and light, and our kids split the nook and the downstairs bedroom. We loved our stay at the chalet, and are so happy we had the opportunity to meet the Nickersons and spend such a peaceful week in Maine. We hope to return!

About the host

Hosted by Rosemary and Lewis Nickerson

Host profile image
Great Grandma Dot purchased the one-room log cabin on the three acre lot in 1951. It remains the oldest, original cabin on the Cape. Grandpa Jerry built the chalet in 1985.

Why they chose this property

A sereen setting, immediately accessible to the ocean.

What makes this property unique

It's like going back in time visiting Cape Rosier. We leave the hectic city behind and totally relax. The salty, sea air, the peace and quiet, the bald eagles, passing lobster boats, schooners, tall ships, islands off-shore.....so much to see and experience.
