About this property

HARPSWELL MAINE - The Cottage @ AshPoint

ABOUT THE ACCOMODATIONS:

In an ideal location on the Mid Coast of Maine, lies The Cottage @ AshPoint.

This home away from home sits in the seaside neighborhood of Ash Point Road, Harpswell, Maine - - - waiting to welcome Guests - - -

This getaway, once an old Maine camp* from the early 1900’s, was fully renovated in 2014 to what it is now - a fully equipped Bungalow to accommodate Guests - not only in the summer months, but also available for Long Term Winter Rental!

NOTE: As in all old Maine Camps - ceilings are low in the oldest parts of the cottage. Contact owner for more details.

Newly furnished, The Cottage @ AshPoint boasts the amenities of home and then some; It is freshly stocked with an appreciation for creature comforts. The Cottage @ AshPoint offers a kitchen full to the brim with supplies to make delicious meals to share in a sundrenched dining area for 4. Just next to the dining room is a comfortable seating area with a stone gas fireplace to warm your bones on chilly nights (Seasonal Only), a den area with a flat screen TV for gathering, and a full bathroom with washer/dryer which completes the layout of the lower level. Upstairs- there are 2 bedrooms with double beds and an additional full bathroom. This home is finished in warm colors and coastal style - adding to its charm.

Furthermore, The Cottage @ AshPoint has a fully fenced backyard and is dog friendly! The benefit of having a fenced in yard makes bringing your furry friend along even more convenient & fun.

Log Tables & Adirondack Chairs are great for relaxing in the Patio Area at the back door and a picnic table sits within the sunny back yard, perfect for when the hankering for Maine Lobster means the freedom of cracking shells outdoors. This sort of privacy also offers a chance to sip morning coffee as though you are a world away.

NOTE: Wireless reception can be spotty in Harpswell. There is a Quasi Land Line for your use as our Guest.

This is a comfortable hideaway which is sure to charm birdwatchers, kayakers, adventurers and dreamers alike and offer the one thing they all seek in common—RELAXATION!

Just a quick walk from The Cottage @ AshPoint - @ the end of Ash Point Road - you will find a public water access point and a public boat ramp - where you will find yourself at the edge of Casco Bay.

Harpswell & The Islands are prized as much for their natural beauty & sense of community as are its creature comforts.
We know you will love your stay here as much as we do.

This gem is certainly the place to rejuvenate your soul!

*As with many Maine Cottages with such history, converted camps can tend to have lower ceilings in some areas.

**Drivers License and/or copy of Passport ID is Required for all Adult Guests at the time of booking. Must be Emailed to the Property Owner.

ATTRACTIONS:

The advantage of being in the heart of Ash Point means you are ideally located between Erica’s seafood, the Dolphin Marina, The Veggie corner, various galleries and Harpswell Land Trust Trails.

Additionally, if you are looking to explore the other attractions, but stay comfortably close to home, Bailey Island is just a quick drive across the access road (The Mountain Road to the other Harpswell peninsula) and is home of other delicious dining experiences, as well as many historical landmarks - all with long told histories of the Maine Coast.

You will go over the ONLY Crib Stone Bridge in the world to get to Orrs & Bailey Island, see historic Mackerel cove which is a perfect spot to go to watch the fishing world at work, one of Maine’s most prized industries and attractions.

Quaint downtown Brunswick, home of Bowdoin College, is just 20 minutes away. Bowdoin College offers a gem of an art gallery and The Maine State Music Theatre, with a lineup of musicals waiting to inspire you.

Brunswick holds a variety of experiences in the downtown area to include: 2 farmers markets a week on the downtown common, food trucks, concerts, antique shops and eateries.

Plenty of shopping awaits you at Cook's Corner, Topsham Fair Mall, Downtown Brunswick & - of course - the shops in Freeport including the infamous LL Bean's - open 365 days a year/ 24 hours a day.

On the other side of Brunswick, just a stone’s throw away, there is Thomas Point with its sprawling lawns and beaches - a venue that hosts concerts, campsites and attractions that are fun for children and adults alike.

As you travel further along Route 1 and into Bath, there are more attractions to be enjoyed; It is an easy ride to Reid State Park and Fort Popham – great places to enjoy & explore.
 
If you are looking for even more adventure and beauty, Maine has it in boundless amounts. Perhaps you will want to take day trips to further explore the coast. The Cottage @ AshPoint is centrally located so that you are within a day’s ride from other Maine attractions that line the coast such as Old Orchard Beach, Downtown Portland, Boothbay Harbor or Acadia National Park located in Bar Harbor.
 
As your day draws to an end – you will look forward to hunkering down to a good meal and a restful sleep at The Cottage @ AshPoint after each day packed full of memories.

With so much to offer- The Cottage @ AshPoint will surely beckon you back year after year.

Nice Getaway

We had a great week's long stay at this property that is off the beaten path in a quiet community. The property was fully stocked with everything you would need. A quick walk down the street offered a public spot where the kids fished and skipped rocks. People walking by were very friendly. Just a thing to note if you are tall is that the house does not have tall ceilings. I would definitely recommend if you are a family looking to explore all around Maine.

Cottage at Ash Point

The cottage was very sweet. it was very comfortable and had great amenities like two bathrooms, a washer/dryer, and a dishwasher. It was a quiet area and near all that we wanted to do in Harpswell. Pat and her team were very helpful and easy to communicate with. We hope to stay again.

Such a great place to stay in Harpswell

We stayed at Pat’s house for the month of June and it was absolutely fantastic! Pat has so thoughtfully included everything that you could need and more-from hiking poles to pre-stamped postcards to wine stoppers and extra toiletries! We both worked from home during our stay. The internet speed was perfect for us to work and never had any interruptions! The yard is perfect for just hanging out and the street is so quiet! We knew that Pat approved Tallulah to stay but one thing that I had not expected was how dog friendly/accommodating her home is! She had covers on the furniture, dog treats, dog bags, bowls and even a leash for Tallulah! I would recommend her house to everyone!! It’s also so convenient to Erica’s and the Dolphin-2 of our fave spots to eat! Just a short distance from the many wonderful hiking trails Harpswell offers, many restaurants and close to Brunswick/Freeport! We were sad to leave!

Lovely stay home in Harpswell

Good communication and information from the owner before and during our stay. Our dogs loved the fenced yard, and daily walks to the water, the owner made them feel welcome with dog treats upon arrival. We appreciated the fresh flowers. The cottage is an easy drive to many fun things, including beaches, theatre, state parks, museums, and lobster.

What a Fantastic Experience

This cottage was gorgeous and it puts you about 25 minutes from Brunswick and a very driveable distance from Portland and Acadia/Bar Harbor. The small town of Harpswell was gorgeous and it was exactly what my husband and I (with our dog Luna) needed for a vacation. I would stay at Pat’s cottage again in a heartbeat. What a great find. Thanks for the great experience Pat!

Lovely home with lots of thoughtful additions

Checking-in and working with the owner were VERY easy. Pat is super friendly and was very helpful with out trip planning. Check-in was quick the day-of, and the house had everything we needed. The fenced-in yard was a huge plus for us with our dogs. One of the best things about this house are all the thoughtful touches. Extra treats for the dogs, spare dish towels, all the stuff I often find I am missing when I stay at other rentals. 10/10 would stay here again!

Cute little cottage

We all three enjoyed our stay here very much Everything we needed for grilling and cooking was supplied. The backyard was great for Elvis, our little pup. The AC worked great upstairs and lots of fans downstairs. Not much within walking distance but an easy drive to kayaking, hiking and fishing. Would stay here again if we return to Maine. Check-in and check out was super easy and the owner is very helpful and easily accessible.

Great spot for a Maine Vacation

We had a great time at the cottage. Pat and her assistant were very responsive including managing a water heater issue with minimal disruption to our trip. The cottage was well equipped with all the essentials. Relaxing at the cottage in the evenings was great on the post Comfy VRBO couch ever. The beds were also very comfortable. The local area was great to explore. We used the Harpswell guide at the house to find several trails for short hikes. Pammys for ice cream was a hit with our granddaughter and we enjoyed Ericas for lobster rolls. The local beaches were a fun escape as well. All in all a great location and a great Maine escape.

Sweet little cottage

We had a great time at Patricia's cottage this summer. She was a gracious and responsive host. The setting was perfect for a longer stay, with internet, a/c, washer/dryer, dishwasher, and fenced in yard. While not on the beach, the house still had an ocean breeze and the picturesque tidal mill public landing is a quick walk down the street.... Perfect for dipping your feet and enjoying the view.

Fall rental

The house is clean, comfortable and well stocked for every need. Patricia is a very accommodating, communicative and helpful host. We have loved living in such a beautiful location with water access a few hundred meters away in addition to the many outdoor recreation spots we have discovered in Harpswell. Would recommend for anyone.

Memorable Vacation

What a wonderful place to stay for a relaxing vacation. Avoiding the hustle and bustle of the real touristy beach towns in ME, this location was prime. House was completely stocked with everything we needed, had the ROW to the water where we launched our kayaks, our dog Zoe had enough space into run around in the fenced yard and it was overall a fun memorable vacation for my family. . . Patricia was an excellent hostess as well as Beth, both very responsive to anything we needed. A new washer/dryer was supposed to be delivered the week we were there but was delayed due to size of the new appliaces and Patricia sent us to a wash and fold laundry in town which she completely covered the bill. It was so kind, thoughtful and unexpected! It does take some time to get to a full grocery store but when your on Vaca who cares! And keep in mind that if you are talk, over 6ft, you will bump your head a time or two as this is a traditional Maine cottage with low ceilings! Overall, we couldn't be happier with our week vacation at Ash Point Cottage! I would highly recommended this place to anyone looking for a Vaca spot in the mid-coast ME area! You will not be disappointed! Thank you Patricia (and Beth) for your hospitality and allowing my family one of our most memorable vacations to date!
