About this house rental

Off the beaten path nestled along the banks of the historic Penobscot Bay, a sunny, tranquil home offers room to gather with loved ones for relaxation and renewal. You’ll know you’ve arrived at Fort Point Cove Cottage when you catch your breath at the scenery upon entering the home. The back of the cottage features an expansive view of the river as it flows into the bay, where all manner of wildlife may be observed if one knows how to look. Here is a place to enjoy quality time with all the amenities of home as you experience the rare beauty of Maine. Fort Point Cove Cottage is the kind of place to practice the fine art of human “BE-ing.” Treat yourself to time in a tranquil vacation retreat that is private and charismatic, yet close to all the attractions that make Midcoast and DownEast Maine renowned........Life is Good!

This cottage features 2 full bedrooms with a 3rd open loft bedroom, all furnished with new high quality luxury mattresses. Vaulted ceilings with an open great room below; the center of the home houses a grand open brick fireplace with wood burning stove to keep you warm on those cool summer nights. The galley kitchen is fully stocked along with a Keurig coffee maker that provides everyone's favorite brew. Poll barn provides covered outdoor grilling/dining with a spectacular water/mountain view.

Area Attractions: Stockton Springs houses its own lighthouse located in nearby Fort Point State Park, has its own local beaches and is centrally located along the coast which provides easy travel destination to both the Midcoast and DownEast Regions -- 40 miles to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Mt. Desert Island, and Stonnington; 30 miles to Bangor, Bluehill, Ellsworth, Islesboro and the popular destination of Camden Hills noted for its quant shopping village and where mountain meets sea; 40 miles south to the Rockland/Rockport area and Thomaston where you can shop at the Maine State Prison Store featuring its beautiful wood furniture and crafts handmade by the inmates. We are just a hop and a skip to Bucksport featuring Fort Knox and the beautiful Penobscot Narrows Bridge, Winterport for its quaint village with its winery and brewery, Searsport with its 8 miles of antique shopping while featuring 'Museum in the Streets' with its Maritime Museum and nearby Moose Point State Park and Belfast for its quaint shops, galleries and co-op. We are 70 miles north of Boothbay Harbor and Wiscasset; 95 miles north of Freeport. Wiscasset is the home of Maine's voted best lobster roll at 'Red's Eats' and Freeport houses LL Bean -- two must stops on your way up the coast! Finally, for the adventurous at heart, DownEast Maine encompasses a rugged coastline and blueberry barrens. Points of interest include Rogue Bluffs State Park and Machias 85 miles north of Stockton Springs and Eastport, Lubec and Campobello Island, NB Canada are 120 miles north. West Quoddy Head Lighthouse in Lubec, Maine is the easternmost point of the contiguous United States and the closest point to Europe from a point in the fifty States. Head Harbour Lighthouse (East Quoddy) on Campobello Island, NB overlooks Quoddy Narrows, a strait between Canada and the United States. Campobello Island is noted for its beautiful Roosevelt Campobello International Park which serves as a memorial to FDR and a symbol of cooperation between Canada and the U.S. The Park houses the Roosevelt Family Summer Cottage along with eight miles of trails leading along rugged shoreline, bogs, and forests.

A comfortable home with a responsive host & beautiful views. Very quiet. Little is in walking distance, but it's a short drive to several beaches.

Fort Point Cove Cottage was a delight with beautiful views and comfortable arrangements. We even spotted an eagle and two roosting ospreys during our first few hours there with the binoculars that were in the home. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with additional like coffee pods (which was an unexpected treat!), random cooking spices like salt, as well as ziplocs and other Tupperware containers. There were plenty of fans to help keep the home cool and nighttime was very comfortable with the quilts and bedding.My kids loved having access to well-built cornhole boards as well as the huge backyard.Darlene was extremely communicative and welcoming. Instructions for departure were very clear. The only downside was that the third bed was located in a lofted area, not an actual bedroom, but that is in the listing and was not a surprise to us - it just would've been nice to have an actual bedroom, but the location on the bay well made up for it.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Darlene made sure to list several restaurants and activities nearby.

Private and peaceful stay. House is filled with great energy. It’s beautiful, clean, spacious, and well equipped. The backyard was amazing with the view of the bay, ample seating, and outdoor dining table. We loved sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the deck with hummingbirds hovering just above our heads coming to the feeder. We were also visited by a flock of turkeys in the early evenings.Darlene is a great host; communicating with us before, during, and after our stay.

We travel so much to Maine we could claim residency.....Three couples stayed for a week with one of the couples making their first trip to Maine and we couldn't have selected a better location to give them their first Maine experience. I highly recommend staying at Tranquility on Penobscot Bay Private Retreat.......
