About this cottage rental

Nestled in a canopy of green with beautiful westerly views from Broad Sound to Casco Bay, Bober Cottage has 185ft of private shoreline that offers the perfect setting for your getaway to the coast of Maine.



You’ll love the privacy of this property, easy access to coastal restaurants, and a full service marina for endless adventures.



Inside the cottage, you will find a fully equipped kitchen, a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, a second floor master bedroom, and a tiny first floor bedroom with twin bunk beds (ideal for children), and a comfortable living room to enjoy the stunning sunsets over the bay.



Outside, you’ll find Adirondacks and a stone fire pit overlooking the ocean. A lush lawn with a stairway leading to a ragged shoreline which is a perfect place to hunt for sea glass, swim, or simply sit and enjoy the view.



We encourage all guests to visit www.bobercottage.com to view many more photos and to learn about the history and surrounds of this beloved retreat.



Things to Consider



As the reviews suggest, Bober Cottage is thoughtfully organized with many cute touches. Please note, however, that its proportions are small. Some families love the scale because it encourages togetherness, but that is not to everyone's taste. Before booking please consider if 528 (charming) square feet would be right for you.



The ceiling height in the master bedroom (second floor) is approx. 5'10"—perfect for sitting and sleeping, but could be challenging if you are tall. The children's bedroom has a bunk bed that takes up most of the room. It is perfectly cozy for children, but not suitable for adults.



The cottage décor includes family heirlooms. On the north side is a bronze nude figure sculpted by Christopher Cairns. Lazarus, the saint who miraculously came back to life, rises from a patch of grass and points toward the ocean.



The natural surrounds of the cottage include animals. In addition to an array of birds, chipmunks, and friendly neighborhood dogs, it is not uncommon to see foxes, porcupines, and skunks.



As with most properties that rely on wells, the water can be limited by rainfall. We ask guests to conserve water and report any issues with drips, leaks, or outages so they may be addressed immediately.



If you are looking for a cookie-cutter hotel or resort experience, then Bober Cottage is not for you. It is ideal for those who appreciate an intimate setting within a few feet of the rocky coast, sunsets from a picture window, and a quaint cottage that has been cherished for three generations.



Sorry, Pets are not allowed at this property.

Beautiful view!! Very cute property. The views were stunning, the upstairs was great (thankfully there was a fan as it did tend to get a bit warm up there). The space was a bit tighter than we expected, if you’re tall or larger you will bump your head and it is crowded. The 3 of us adults did fine but we were cramped and there’s a very used love seat and then dining chairs so we couldn’t all lounge together on the rainy day. Plus the suit cases were in the living room area as there wasn’t room in the bunk bed room. The musty smell is to be expected and a candle helped. Now… we understand spiders are part of the deal but… there were so many the first 5 of 8 days! Like a lot! Overall, I LOVED it, relaxed, was able to handle the lack of space and mirrors , but if you’re expecting more this might not be for you. Plus, you can’t beat the morning coffee outside- my favorite!
