About this property

Hawkweed Cottage on the Water - Salt Air and Sunshine!

Our secluded cottage faces south overlooking the bay, islands, and working lobster boats. The front deck is ideal for lunching, sunning, and watching nature at play and joins a grassed lawn perfect for games. Stay cozy on a cool evening with a small gas stove.

A short drive will take you to all the festivals Rockland has each summer weekends as well as the Camden/Rockport harbors, home to the schooner fleet. A nautical museum, general store/cafe, post office, library and great fishing are within walking distance. Launch your kayak and explore the shoreline.

Peaceful & Relaxing
The view of the ocean cove is wonderful. It’s our favorite part of the place. The cottage is comfortable and has a cozy feel. It was clean and everything worked well. The kitchen was very well equipped with pots & pans, utensils, coffee maker & coffee grinder, mixing bowls, measuring cups& spoons, & an electric mixer. There was a basket with pens, pencils, scotch tape & scissors. Our every need was provided for! Only negative was mattresses in master bedroom. We like a firm mattress, but they were hard. So uncomfortable that tried to purchase a memory foam topper but none available locally. Everything else about the stay was great. Hopi g to return again!

lovely spot in Maine
The three bedroom cabin was perfect for us--all on one level, well supplied with bedding and kitchen essentials, spacious deck, and water views. Not on ocean, but lots of birds and woods on three sides.

A True Maine Experience
Beautiful location. Cottage simple but comfortable. Well supplied with everything you could possibly need. No air conditioning but didn’t need. They have 2 fans available and if you open the windows it would circulate that wonderful sea air. It is very convenient to all the stores or restaurants. Extremely quiet and peaceful. Just what you need on vacation from your busy life. Hope to return some day.

About the host

Hosted by Elaine Hall

Host profile image
I am a real estate agent and own investment properties. The cottage is intended to be a retirement refuge. In the mean time it is great fun to share with many guests who love it as we do.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is the perfect hide-away. Quiet and beautiful, a real escape. Excitement and entertainment are within a short drive. We are pet friendly and it is a safe and exciting place for good dogs to play. We have also entertained cats!

What makes this property unique

I get many requests for early to mid June. Because of the weather and the secluded location we are unable to open until mid to late June. We do however have a lovely fall and rent until the first week in October.
