About this property

I must emphasize the peace and quiet aspect of this property since noise carries easily over water and I ask that the neighbors be respected. This rustic house sits on a private lot just 1/2 mile from Rt One at the end of a dirt road. Decor is eclectic but comfortable - -nothing fancy. A short flight of steps provide access to the rocky shore. Three private bedrooms (one on main floor) and a 4th room upstairs connecting the two bedrooms. There are 2 baths (one with tub) plus 1/2 bath up. Kitchen is well applianced and a screened-in porch provides wonderful ever-changing views of Penobscot Bay.

Beautiful Location!

We had a great time at this property in Stockton Springs. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the back porch and enjoying the beautiful weather. There is plenty to do and many wonderful restaurants in the vicinity. Communication was great and Kate is a lovely host.

Maine Paradise

This is our 6th stay at this wonderful cottage! It is perfectly maintained for our 3 generation family and the view of the ocean is just beautiful! The fishing and water activities are enjoyed by many. And we always enjoy the surrounding communities, restaurants, and lighthouses! I would give it 10 stars if I could!

This is a home!

From our first visit in 2017, we knew the house was someone's home. It has become our July (for a few weeks) home. Everything we could want is there. Everything we need is there--quiet, beauty, space to be alone, space to gather everyone. There is even room for fairies in the garden.

Picturesque and Serene

The property is well off the road at the tip of a lovely cove. It is very quiet, with a large yard and beautiful views of the bay. The cottage is very well appointed and the screened in porch is the perfect place to read or chat on a bright sunny day. We loved our stay there.

This is our 4th family stay and it was once again perfect. The weather was sunny and the water provided successful fishing and the grandkids played daily in the ocean! The screened porch allowed that majestic view and a great place for the family to gather! Simply a perfect vacation!!

What a great house

The view, the large lawn, the privacy, and most especially the screened in porch make this a truly exceptional property. Enjoy meals on the porch or just enjoy the view of the water.

Friends week away

We had a fantastic week at your beautiful home. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us! The location was perfect for visiting with family in Belfast and exploring midcoast Maine. Sunrise on the bay was spectacular! Would definitely book this house again.

What a comfortable house

We've been coming for years and one of the reasons is how comfortable the house is. Lots of room to move around in, comfortable chairs for sitting and that wonderful porch to watch the water. We'll be back again.

Wonderful property

We spent four weeks here and had a wonderfully relaxed time. The house is very comfortable, well furnished, and the kitchen well equipped. But the highlight for us was the screened in porch. Never too hot or too cold, no bugs, and a great view of the water.

First trip to Maine

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was very comfortable , well stocked with essentials and well maintained. Gary was gracious to greet us and available if needed. Be sure to check out the red notebook for local information. Our first trip to main, so it was helpful finding things to see and do. Highly recommend Anglar's restaurant.

Relaxation ++

Had spectacular weather on our second two week stay in as many years. I love sitting outside on the porch or in the Adirondack chairs enjoying the sounds of the eagle calling, the breeze through the leaves and the occasional drone of a ships motor out in the bay. There is absolutely zero background road noise. Toured the Searsport Maritime museum and Fort Knox, both very interesting. Also hiked the circumference of Sears Island. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Plan to return again next year!

Another fabulous week

This is our third visit and it certainly didn’t disappoint! Accommodations are 10 star and the location on the water is heavenly. Many in our party caught striper and the kids loved the water! Others canoed and kayaked! And we ate well!!

Maine Beauty

We absolutely found the best of Maine in this home located on Penobscot Bay. We had everything we needed from the well equipped kitchen to the outdoor furniture for sitting and enjoying the views. This home is centrally located along the coast allowing us to do day trips down to Boothbay Harbor or up to Acadia National Park. It was the perfect place to relax and take in the best Maine has to offer!

Fabulous Home

This is a perfect home for being on the water in Maine. Very relaxing and a very well appointed property. This home is close to many activities and sights to see in Maine. Our family loved it so much they wanted us to see if the owners would sell it. We will be back.

Magnificent place to stay!

We loved this place for our second visit! The place has everything you could possibly need and the large screened in porch is heavenly to watch nature and the ocean. Part of our party love fishing and they had great success! Caught fish that aren’t even supposed to be in the bay! The grandkids love playing in the ocean! So many great places to visit and eat at nearby!

Serene space

This property was situated just right for trip to Acadia as well as shopping in Belfast. We are 5 family members in our 70’s and the space in the house was really wonderful. Late afternoons on the porch were a great time to visit together around the table. We all highly recommend Osprey Reach.
