About this cottage rental

Located in Cushing, this attractive cottage for $210 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Welcome to this beautifully updated Mid-Century Ranch directly on Maple Juice Cove with over 200 feet of water frontage. Guests enjoy their own private 100-ft stationary wharf over the water (pictured) in addition to the 10X30 floating dock for direct access to the calm waters of Maple Juice Cove. Swim, kayak, innertube or just enjoy the views of nature as well as the comings and goings of the lobster fleet from Sheep’s Point. The property itself is 2 very private acres of lawn and gardens stretching along the waterfront, ideal for yard games, or just enjoying the ever changing water views. The cottage is located a short distance from all Midcoast Maine has to offer such as the towns of Rockland and Camden, with their vibrant art and restaurant scenes. For a more home-town feel, visit the even closer quaint towns of Damariscotta, Thomaston, Friendship (with Jameson Point Lobster) and the charming fishing village of Port Clyde. Cove Cottage is a 1950’s ranch home which was renovated in 2022. Currently there are two bedrooms, one with a king size bed and the other with a queen. Mattresses are memory foam and pillow-top Sealys, respectively. There is also an outbuilding bunk house with 2 twin beds. The bunk house is ventilated, insulated and secure but unheated. The bunk house may be furnished with either linens from the house, or the sleeping bags provided by the hosts. The one bath is large with a large shower. The lower level features a queen-size pull-out sofa, and a single chair that folds out into a twin cot. Window air conditioners in each bedroom are provided for your comfort. The fireplace in the living room is a fully functional wood-burning fireplace-a wonderful way to spend a fall evening. The cottage has been curated in a Danish-influenced American Mid Century style, including some original art from the Long Island art scene of the 1960s. Guests can appreciate the views from the deck and the screen-in porch. Due to low light pollution, on dark, clear nights the Starscape views from the wharf approximate those of a dark-sky preserve. The screened-in porch offers a bug-free dining and lounging outdoor option. There is also a large fire pit for the occasional bonfire. For your convenience we will provide the following: fully furnished kitchen, linens, (2) sleeping bags, bath towels, washcloths, hand towels, beach towels, your first tank of propane for the gas grill, dish soap, dish washing soap, hand soap, laundry detergent, a supply of toilet paper and paper towels, and one can of DEET bug spray. There are 2 kayaks/paddles on property, and 2 5-foot tractor tire rubber inner tubes for water enjoyment. We also have life jackets in a variety of sizes, including children's. We offer wireless high-speed internet and a Samsung Smart TV, with which guests may stream from their Netflix, Hulu, Prime, HBOmax, Internet etc accounts. The Game Room has a felt-topped, vintage 52"poker table for card and board games. Presently we offer the following: a full professional poker set; Boston Edition Monopoly; Cards Against Humanity and extension packs (for adults); Choking Hazard (also adults); Uno and others. In the alcove is a cocktail-table style Vintage Arcade on which 1 or 2 players may enjoy games such as Ms. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Space Invaders, Centipede and >400 others. Fun for kids and a walk down memory lane for adults. For the sake of parents' sanity, the sound effects on the video arcade, which are original to each game, can be turned down or off altogether. Washer and Dryer are on property and free. Detergent and dryer sheets are provided. While we make every effort to assure the accuracy of this listing, as well as the condition of equipment and quality of provided services, we make no implied guarantee of connectivity for wireless internet, or services provided by a third party. We will do everything in our power to remedy any situation as quickly as possible, and we thank you for your understanding. Please wear the vest when using the kayaks and/or innertubes. Due to the tide, the depth of the cove is highly variable, and there are rocks. DO NOT dive from either the standing wharf or the floating dock. To help you plan water activities, a tide clock is mounted to the wall near the fireplace.

We absolutely loved our stay on Maple Juice Cove! The kayaking from the gorgeous boat dock was incredible. The waterfront location is so peaceful. A flock of wild turkeys hung out with us regularly. We enjoyed many other birds that kept busy on the tidal waters. The thermostat was broken upon arrival, so we spent two chilly nights with a space heater until it could be fixed.While the host did provide us with firewood to help heat the house via the fireplace he did not offer any discount for the stay. We made due with the warm blankets on the comfy beds, but it was a bit unpleasant getting in and out of bed (especially that first night). We were out an about for most of the days. The location is very near the Olsen House (made famous in the Andrew Wyeth painting Christina's World). In fact, we ended up kayaking to an island just below it, we just didn't realize it at the time. The location is a bit remote, with lots of winding roads to get to the house, but it was just so serene there. If you love nature and quiet, the cottage is a really lovely retreat with furnishings that embody Danish hygge. On those rainy days, the old school arcade games in the basement provide for some fun entertainment. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds comfortable. The basement is a fun hang-out space, although not fully finished. I wouldn't recommend this cottage for anyone with small kids as the stairs are steep and open from the main level. We would love to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is beautiful and peaceful. We didn’t have to drive more than 20-30min. to enjoy all sorts of activities on the coast. We also enjoyed days at the house, the property is just beautiful. The sunset and sunrise are fantastic! The property managers are wonderful and are very helpful and pleasant. Highly recommend!

It’s a wonderful property with loads of space for outdoor activities. Indoor has all been re-done and was perfect for our tween, who made the basement her space. The outdoor screened in porch is amazing, and we spent a ton of time in it. We loved this cottage!

We had a terrific week at the Maple Juice Cove cottage. The house was immaculate and very comfortable. Its mid-century furniture was lovely. The bathroom is modern with a roomy shower that has a handheld sprayer in addition to the traditional shower head. The primary bedroom is generously sized and both bedrooms have very comfortable beds and air conditioners. The well-equipped kitchen provided everything and more that we needed. It was lovely to have the screen porch for bug-free outdoor dining and reading in a very pleasant living/dining setting. We really enjoyed the convenience of the dock for kayaking. We brought our own, but two are supplied for your use. The comfy chairs on the upper dock provide a great place to watch the early morning fog roll out with a cup of coffee, or to have a cocktail at the end of the day. There was plenty of bird life to watch - we saw numerous Great Blue Herons and even a Bald Eagle. You can’t beat the inner cove - it’s very quiet and private. Ryan was a very responsive host. Highly recommend this spot!

We had a wonderful time at this cottage on the cove! It has everything we needed to feel at home. We cooked most of our meals there and ate several lovely dinners on the screened-in porch. I loved drinking my coffee in the morning by the water and having a beer as the sun was setting. We biked, paddled and relaxed every day. My husband and daughter had so much fun waging Donkey Kong battles on the arcade machine and we enjoyed the speaker provided to always have great music playing. They even have current books for loan for guests! If you enjoy relaxing, kayaking easily and having your creature comforts - you will love this place.

We had a great week in Maine and we loved the property. It was a great size for our family of three and we loved walking out to the dock each day. Our daughter loved the arcade game with numerous games and the often spent mornings playing Pac-Man. The yard is great, the view is great, and the ability to hear nature and see the stars is a plus. The location is a bit remote for exploring, but the property and view is worth it. Use of the garage was a nice bonus with the rain we had early in the week. Having the necessities provided, to include towels, limited firewood, etc was also great. Ryan was an outstanding host and provided ample information leading up to and throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend this property.
