Brooksville House for Rent: Lords Cove Cottage Nestled on the Coast of Maine - Property 318252

If the view from the shore tempts you, schooners regularly offer both day trips and extended trips. If you have canoes or kayaks, you can launch from at any tide on a beach just 3 minutes away by car. Twenty minutes further takes you to Blue Hill, which has my favorite Maine art gallery, with a wonderful outdoor sculpture garden. And if your favorite book just fell into the ocean, head for Blue Hill Books, a much nicer experience than shopping at Borders. Our weeks go from Saturday at 2 pm to the following Saturday at 11 am. For visitors new to Maine, be advised that both summer and fall here can be sweltering and/or cold (sometimes both on the same day). We recommend that our guests come with both hot and cold weather clothes. Peninsula, and home to many artists, musicians and craftspeople. Nearby water recreation includes canoeing and kayaking. Tour boats and schooners explore the harbors and ocean, and allow guests to view wildlife in its natural habitat.

Boat rental is also available. Other nearby activity includes hiking, bicycling, shopping for crafts and antiques, attending artistic shows and performances, and dining on traditional seafood dishes. Amenities: The cottage is perfect for a couple, but can handle more. There's one very comfy double bed, a second okay bed (actually it’s a mattress on a box spring on the floor. Little kids love it.) There's also a small sofa that opens into a small double, and a futon downstairs that could turn into a bed. There are reading lights for the beds. The bathroom has a shower, but not a tub. Linens and towels are provided. The kitchen is well-equipped, with a coffee maker, teakettle, dishes, glasses, wine glasses, basic pots and pans, a strainer, grater, knives, scissors, corkscrew, can opener and, of course, sink, stove, and fridge. You may want to bring a radio, TV and/or cell phone.

A beautiful Vermont castings gas fireplace provides plenty of heat and a lovely atmosphere in the living room.
