About this property
Private Coveside Island Cabin for solo visitor
Privacy, magic, loon calls and your own beach. Wake to a sparkling sun on the water, sleep to a glittering Milky Way above!
An amazing, island hideaway, my 3-room cottage is situated on a wooded 5-acre bluff overlooking Bounty Cove. Perfect for a solo traveler, it features a private wraparound deck, open-plan living/dining room, and a gorgeous, new custom kitchen. The bedroom has a single bed and a wall of windows looking out to the woods and water beyond. A double pull-out Sealy sofa bed in living room.
Eco-friendly, there is a small bathroom with hot/cold sink and a brand new odorless, electric composting toilet. The hot water shower is on the deck, where only the eagles and seagulls can see you.
The cabin is fully equipped with all linens, cookware and excellent spices and provisions. Dine in or on the deckside table with tin lights strung through the trees.
A lovely Pottery Barn sofa can pull out to a full bed, although the cabin is best suited for 1 person and NOT good for young children.
Islesboro island is a 20 minute boat ride by a Maine State Car Ferry that leaves from Lincolnville Beach hourly from 8-5. Tickets are roughly $30 r/t for car & driver and $12 for passenger.
This is a quiet escape and there is another house on the property that is not visible from The Rookery. Please share driveway and parking respectfully. There is a kayak friendly beach on property accessible from the road — if you bring your own kayak.
Minimum 6 nights and maximum 2-week rental during peak season, August.

I'm a writer and an island lover! Conversant in French, and happy to share my island nest for short stays for other nature-loving types.
What makes this property unique
Total privacy at the Rookery. You are part of the woods, yet close to a gorgeous cove. Watch the sunrise from a wraparound deck or dine under the stars. Broadband, so it's easy to work. The cabin has had major renovations in 2021 that make it elegant, efficient and easy to configure around your needs. A fountain on the deck with hydroponic herb garden!
