This wonderfully renovated 1940s cottage is about 1,500 square feet and is furnished with antiques and comfortable furniture. Situated on the St. George River, the cottage sits 20 feet back from Wiley Cove at the end of a half-mile dirt road in Cushing, about five miles from Thomaston. There are lobster boats working right in front of the house in the river, and wildlife abounds. There are two deep water moorings, available for boats, directly in front of the cottage. The house also has its own beach for swimming and exploring just below a wonderful big deck that hangs over the water and offers amazing views.
Port Clyde and the open ocean are just down the river. This fishing village is located on the opposite shore, at the end of the St. George Peninsula, and is accessible by boat or by car. It has a kitchen with a lovely dining area. The house also has a washer and dryer and monitor heaters in the bathrooms. There is another bed in the guest house where you will also find a half bath.

Quintessential Cottage
From the rustic seafaring art, handmade boats and the ironstone dinnerware, this place has the charming aesthetics for the quintessential Maine cottage in the woods. Loved the deck on the water.
Beautiful location, with a great deck over the water. The Wi-Fi was not working due to a storm. Vacasa sent out a repair person who was unable to remedy the issue. He said Vacasa would rebate 140.00.

Lovely Cottage
Lovely cottage in a great location ! Cottage was rougher than expected for $$$$!
Furniture was beyond over used ….. plumbing was atrocious, kitchen faucet was not even attached …… if you flushed the toilet the water in the shower shut off completely! Needs a little work !
The extra fees attached to the rental management company put the price over the top for what it is !
It’s a gorgeous place and we enjoyed our stay !

Sweet location. But back cabin very moldy. Crazy floor squeaks from floor. Internet nonexistent -...
Loved proximity of water. Loved sunset display. Loved the feel of an old family vacation home. Loved dishes and kitchen tools.
