About this property
A perfectly placed cottage overlooking Mackerel Cove!
Welcome to Elroy Johnson Cottage!
This perfectly placed cottage sits right on top of Bailey Island s Mackerel Cove! With 180 degree views of the cove we encourage you to make a cup of coffee, go sit on the deck and watch the lobstermen set sail out into the open ocean. Although technically considered a 2 bedroom cottage, Elroy Johnson Cottage can sleep up to 8 people. Upon walking through the house you will enter from the road side and work your way down the hall and into the kitchen. Off of the kitchen you will see the dining area, living area with views of Mackerel Cove, the den with a flat screen tv and sofa with a pullout full size bed, another bathroom with a shower/tub combo and the large primary bedroom with cathedral ceilings and a queen size bed. Working your way upstairs is a large second floor bedroom with a queen size bed and two twin beds. The second level also has it's own bathroom with a stand-up shower.
Have a boat? Kayaks? Or just feel like going for a swim? Right off of the expansive deck feel free to work your way down to Johnson s very own private dock. Want to lay out and get some Vitamin D? The beach at Mackerel Cove is only a short walk down the hill from the house. Whatever you chose to do...this place is the perfect spot for you!
