About this cottage rental

Situated in South Thomaston, this attractive cottage for $321 per night is a great choice for your next break. Located on the mainland at the Ocean's edge in a beautiful cove looking out at Clark Island and the open sea, our cottage was built in the classic rustic Maine style of the mid twentieth Century. The Township of Clark Island is one of a group of small Towns located on the St. George Peninsula. The peninsula is alive with boaters, bicycle clubs on vacation and legions of kayakers visiting Penobscot Bay. From the little lobstering village of Port Clyde at one end (with daily ferry service to Monhegan Island) to the Town of Rockland at the other end (in 2009 voted the second best small town to live in in the USA by Budget Travel; ) the whole area is considered the heart of mid-coast Maine. At the foot of the road the cottage is located on, there is the Craignair Inn of Clark Island, with a gourmet restaurant. This area is why they call Maine 'Vacationland, where life is the way it ought to be.' Easy to get to: Knox County airport is 5 miles from the cottage, with up to 8 direct flights daily to Boston's Logan airport on Cape Air Airlines. Under $70 each way, with car rental available at airport. Or drive from Boston in under 4 hours. Ferry to Nova Scotia from Rockland. Hourly, daily or weeklong schooner tours from Rockland and Camden.

Mornings were spent on the screened porch viewing fishing boats, sunrises, diving loons and tides. Early evenings were enjoyed doing more of the same. Dining on lobsters at the picnic table near the fire pit and rocky shore was perfection. We enjoyed the privacy of our location as well as taking walks along the dirt road passing and greeting neighbors. Ocean, books, games and dear friends in a very comfortably furnished cottage made a memorable vacation … thank you McConchie Family. We hope to return.

Beautiful, private location on the ocean with wonderful views of Clark Island and beyond. Comfortably furnished and equipped. Very nice screened porch. Excellent dog-walking opportunities on the quiet, well-maintained dirt road and on Clark Island. Best dog park in Maine twenty minutes away in Thomaston. An additional light at front door might be helpful. Hope to return to this special place soon.

My boyfriend and I have been coming to Maine for many years now and we both agreed that our recent stay at the McConchie cottage was our absolute favorite. We immediately felt right at home in this charming, private, well-loved family cottage boasting breathtaking views and equipped with all of the amenities anyone could want. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding mid-coast Maine towns as well as relaxing at the cottage and simply enjoying the peacefulness and serenity of the ocean. Our pup was in heaven sitting on the rocks overlooking the cove and running on the beach near the Craignair Inn. Sisters Biz and Lindsay McConchie were extremely gracious and responsive throughout our 2 week stay. We definitely felt fortunate to have discovered this cottage gem and were very sad to leave at the end of our trip. Thank you so much to the McConchie family for sharing this special place.

Always a delight to stay in this spot. Sitting by the water and watching the birds and whatever else may pass by, Blueberry Margaritas at the Craignair after a walk in Clark Island, ice cream in Port Clyde... Very homey place and easy to live there!

We had high hopes that we would love this cottage and be able to come back annually. Those hopes were dashed upon a late arrival( allowing cleaning person to finish). Upon arrival we were met with towels in the washer on first cycle( cold water), sticky kitchen floor ( and dry mop and bucket in the storage room )and the filthiest couch cushions and base. The dust under tables and chairs and sofas and beds was way more than a weeks worth. The grease in the kitchen was excessive. Appreciative of the host giving us $500 in cleaning fees credited, but was not the point. After reading the manual we realized that none of the beddings or towels are washed in hot water. Staph and bacteria only reacts to hot temperatures. We cleaned the windows and and sills to control additional dirt entering the house while the windows were open, but could do nothing about the linens and towels. Starting Week 2 we killed 3-5 earwigs( ugly insect) a day. The cottage is in desperate need of deep cleaning and revisiting the laundry situation. I am now aware that some hosts list safety and cleanliness guidelines to inform the guest. Again, the views were lovely.

My extended family and I have been coming to the McConchie cabin since 2014! It has truly been our home away from home for one week every summer! All 3 generations gather and make memories. The cabin is in a quiet, peaceful, private location. The screened in porch is our favorite place to take in the views. The kids love hunting for sea glass and crabs. Having our dogs with us is also fantastic (they are part of the family). I could go on and on. If you are looking for a quintessential Maine cabin on the ocean, look no further!

Everything you dream that Maine is from "cabin chic" to stunning location to Wifi that works and a wonderful inn down the road a bit to fill in the blanks!
