About this property

Beautiful family cottage with additional separate cabin adjacent to a fishing harbor on Casco Bay. Stunning views and natural beauty. Use of a shared private dock, small cove and beach for swimming set on 8 acres of oceanfront land, fields, woods, a cliff, beach, and walking trails. The cottage is privately located and has a renovated modern kitchen, washer/dryer, screened porch with sunset views, fireplace, full dining room, 2 bathrooms, outdoor shower, and 4 bedrooms (3 queen, 1 room with twins). Adjacent to the main house is a small bungalow called the "binnacle" with a kitchenette, bathroom and 2 twins (or joined for a king bed) - a sweet and private getaway. Absolutely incredible sunset water views and beautiful property with trails. Note that you need to walk down a path on a slight hill to get to the cottage.

Ideal Maine Summer Getaway

Our family, consisting of 5 adults and 5 boys with ages spread neatly from 3 through 9 years, rented this sweet cottage and binnacle on Casco Bay for our annual family reunion in July. Ned and Susan's cottage is by far the best stocked place we have ever rented, and we've rented quite a few. The cottage's age and decor make it so charming, and yet it has been updated with all the high-end conveniences. Ned and Susan were very accommodating, meeting us on arrival and showing us around the property. Harpswell is a lovely spot. We enjoyed walking to Morse's food truck for lobster rolls and Henry Allen's Seafood Market to buy our own live 'n kickin' lobsters. They were so close we could almost swim there. But mostly, the adults enjoyed lounging on the screened porch watching the lobster boats come and go. Our boys enjoyed skipping rocks and catching little crabs on the beach, jumping off the dock, playing soccer and lacrosse on the lawn, and giggling in the outdoor shower. Summer as it should be!

Extraordinary

This is one of a small handful of the very nicest places we've ever stayed, anywhere. We were six adults and three small children, staying for a week in July. The setting is idyllic--beautiful and private. (You share the dock, beach, etc. with other guests, but we rarely saw them.) The weather was hot, except at the house, which is on the water and stayed perfectly comfortable. We never used the A.C. The Cottage is a delight--very charming, rustic but well-kept and well-furnished. High quality furniture, indoors and out. Comfortable for all of us (we used the Binnacle for one of the couples and their 16-month-old--a bit crowded, with the crib, but, again, very charming). We mosty cooked. Kitchen is complete, with quality cookware and utensils. The Corner Market (5 min drive) has beautiful produce, baked goods, meats and basic essentials. Fresh lobsters and crabs, and lobster rolls, fried clams, etc. a short walk away. There's great fresh fish to be had in several places within 15-20 min. The grounds are gorgeous. Nice nature walks nearby. Susan and Ned are wonderful hosts. A total hit!

The Perfect Maine experience

This was our second time back on the property and we were there to celebrate my son’s birthday. We love this property so much - it’s one of the most special places we’ve ever experienced with sunsets, lobster boats a beautiful beach and dock. The house is roomy and the attached cabin makes it seem even larger. We love the outdoor shower and the porch. Everything that Susan and Ned have put into this place is evident - and makes for the most enjoyable and comfortable stay.

Part of a family wedding gathering

For our small family wedding (our daughter and son-in-law,) the groom's family stayed in the Cottage. A couple of my Millennials bunked in the nearby Binnacle. These houses are adorable and comfortable.

Best Maine vacation EVER

We were privileged to be able to book this total and complete gem of a property and vacation experience. The entire property allows you to experience a dock, a beach, a field and SUNSETS without needing to leave home. It was, frankly, hard to tear ourselves away to go explore the rest of the area. Our cottage was actually spacious for the 6 of us who stayed there, and the little binnacle next door was perfect for the family matriarch to have her own space. The kitchen and dining room had everything we could dream of, including spices, a hand mixer and lobster tools (we got fresh lobster at the point right down the hill), and we all fit in the beautifully renovated kitchen. Overall every detail is thought-out so perfectly. The rooms have a carefully selected decor to look like they are from the 40s but the electricity and conveniences are just so comfortable: a new shower fit under an attic nook, fresh water lines out to the dock, new heater/cooling systems, great outdoor lighting, super comfy porch lounge chairs.... That said, we should say that people who cannot go up/down a gentle hill, an older narrow staircase, or need massive showers are not going to be as comfortable as we were. We loved the mix of rustic and utterly comfortable and enjoyed every minute eating and lounging outing and in. THANKS for this precious getaway!

Beautiful property

The Cottage is part of an 8-acre property with 2 other rentals. The property is just beautiful and well maintained. The Cottage sits closest to the water and the view is spectacular. The screened porch is where I spent the majority of my time. The Cottage itself is really cute and surprising large - 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 downstairs, plus a little bunkhouse with 2 beds and a bath. A nice modern kitchen. The location is great - peaceful and so convenient to Brunswick and Freeport. I hope we can come back and stay again.

A perfect summer getaway

We had a wonderful family vacation at this cottage in August 2021, and enjoyed the fantastic view of the bay and the lobster boats. We swam everyday off the dock and at the beach, and made day trips to see lighthouses and for lobster rolls. The property was a perfect peaceful and quiet escape for my wife and me, along with our grown children. Highly recommended.

Peaceful Location

The cottage is so cute! We loved our time here. The space was perfect for everyone to spread out and do their own thing. If you want to sit by the water, kayak, explore the tide pools in low tide, or watch amazing sunsets, this place is for you! Location was great as a base camp for relaxing and taking day trips. Ned and Susan were so nice and accommodating!

The meadow lush with wildflowers, the cove “boiling” with schools of menhaden flashing in bright sunlight, beside a cottage perfectly sited to enjoy the constantly changing waterfront. Beautiful, calm, cozy, endlessly interesting.

Wonderful cabin with an unparalled view, charming grounds, and spectacular sunsets

I’m almost hesitant to say all the wonderful things we love about the Woodman Cottage because I want to keep it all to myself! The Cottage is part of the Woodman family compound that includes a dock, meadow, cliff walk, beach side, and pond. The Cottage is simple but completely lovely and charming with a well-appointed kitchen and everything you need for a perfect Maine getaway. We watched spectacular sunsets every night right from the porch and enjoyed the well-kept lawn and gardens every day. The dock is great and has tables and chairs where you can gather for a drink or even dinner. The dock is shared by others on the compund, but we never saw anyone else, so had it all to ourselves. The location in Harpswell is great too — just down the road from Allen’s Lobster where we walked to pick up clams right off the boat — and close to the Dolphin and Erica’s in one direction and Brunswick in the other. The Woodmans themselves are so easy to work with and provided us with lots of useful information about the house and the area. They were available for any issues that arose and were very responsive. We can’t wait to go back!!
