About this property

Quiet and Cozy Seaside Cottage with Amazing Sunsets

Welcome to our family seaside cottage, since 1964 generations have enjoyed this quiet cozy ocean side retreat! Whether it's being outdoors swimming or boating on Carrying Place cove, searching for sea glass & shells on the rock beaches of Pigeon Hill Bay, Blueberry & Raspberry picking, hiking in the Pigeon Hill Conservation area or Petit Mann Wildlife Refuge, sunning on the back deck listening to the sounds of nature, playing croquet in the large backyard or relaxing inside with one of many books by the gas fireplace, or sit at the large dinning table and challenge yourself with one of many puzzles or board games; this unique cottage offers something for everyone. For all there is the Milky Way Galaxy unfolding above you, looking up at one of clearest night sky's in the northeast!
This very clean and well maintained cottage features a fully equipped large kitchen and one full bathroom. Four to eight people can comfortably sleep in the one bedroom (queen bed) and the three other areas of separated flex space, each with its own full sized futon or fold out sofa, The cottage offers a 4g, WiFi connection, a large TV with Amazon fire stick to stream your favorite shows and movies, BBQ grill, a land line phone for emergencies, and washer & dryer.

If you looking to get away for the day, Steuben is a quick day trip from Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island, Schoodic Peninsula, Lubec, Eastport, Quoddy Head State Park and Campobello International Park (bring a passport)

Generations of our family have enjoyed this unique spot on the Downeast Maine coast, we are now opening it up for others to enjoy.

Great location and atmosphere

If you’re looking for a little bit of an adventure, rather than a bland modern hotel room in town, this is a great choice. It reminded me of the house at the lake I grew up in, in northern Michigan, with lots of outdoors to enjoy and enough of the right amenities inside. Steve was very responsive and welcoming.

Family trip to maine

Stayed here with my father and brother while we were visiting my mother. Spent the week at this quiet and cozy seaside cabin. Beautiful views of the water during the day and all the stars at night. Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back. The host was very friendly and answered any questions we had.

Great quiet spot

Super clean place, nice big kitchen with actually sharp knives. This was very close to some great hiking spots. Space enough for my family of four. We also enjoyed the view out back and saw deer, herons, and lots of dragonflies. Beds are comfy, and we all slept very well at night. This was perfect for a week to decompress. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Experience!

We had our original VRBO cancel last minute, so we found this place, we are so glad we did! Steven was wonderful to work with, he always reponed within an hour or less. The house was so clean, well stocked, and so much fun. Get up, walk down the road and watch the sunrise, it's worth it. Highly recommend staying here!

Wonderful stay

This house was comfortable, well provisioned, and had the added benefit of accessibility with a ramp, shower chair, and a grab bar in the shower. Everything we wanted was easily found and the kitchen had all a cook could ever want. The water view in the back and abundance of wildlife just added to the experience.

10/10 would recommend

This cabin was the perfect way to start our vacation in Maine. The cabin is secluded but there is still activities to do 20-30 min away. The host left us a list of things to do and restaurants to try that were around the area. The cabin has an amazing view of the sunset over the water and the stars were stunning. We saw a family of deer in the backyard. It felt like a home away from home! We would love to go back one day!

Lovely, a very romantic, quiet and clean location. The stars are amazingly beautiful, so are the fireflies. Highly recommend staying here. If you walk a bit down the road, you will be walking along the ocean which is amazing. Location can't be beat, 5-10 minute drive from amazing natural parks.

Amazing Spot

Situated on the narrowest part of a peninsula, exactly between world-class nature preserves, with a tidal basin cove in the back yard and beach access across the street, this comfortable cottage just can’t be beat. Loved the entire region…visited multiple preserves and hiking trails. Very quiet and restful. Swam in Pigeon Hill Bay every day!

About the host

Hosted by Steven Woitasek

Host profile image
Born and raised in Massachusetts, I've been a frequent visitor to Downeast Maine and this property all of my life. I've lived in the Portland Maine area since 2001, starting in 2009, I decided to move to Bar Harbor (the gateway service town for Acadia National Park) where I worked as a seasonal restaurant employee and manager. In 2018, my life partner and I purchased the Black Friar Inn and Pub, a seasonal Bed and Breakfast/Restaurant located in the village section of Bar Harbor. In the off season (Dec-April), we live in Portland Maine, the rest of the time we are busy taking care of restaurant or inn guests. We do enjoy spending time out doors, hiking, traveling, craft beer and cider, and exploring small towns around New England and beyond

Why they chose this property

This property was purchased by my family in 1964, over the years the cottage has had several additions, including a deck and the large family / bonus room at the back of the cottage. Also upgrades to the electric, well, and septic systems. The cottage is fully insulted and has been used as a year residence for several years in the early 90s and again in the mid 2000s. The land lot is basically a large rectangle that goes from Pigeon Hill Rd on the front to the waters of Carrying Place Cove on the back, there is a private road/wide trail that runs the length of the property one side, there is also a large salt / fresh water clay mash that is part of the property as you head toward the cove. There is very little standing water, but the mash acts a large sponge for rain run off and as a buffer for higher then avg tides. Over the last 50+ years many generations have enjoyed this area and the peacefulness it can offer, especially outside of the busy months of July and August

What makes this property unique

Downeast Maine is unique in general, and this property is no exception, the cottage sits about 2/3 of the way down Petitt Mann Point, at a very narrow spot, with water on both sides, the house faces east/west with gives a great views of the early morning sunrise and stunning long sunsets over Carrying Place Cove to the west. The cottage is short walk to both the Pigeon Hill Conversation Area and Petitt Mann Federal Wild Life Refuge, because of this there are very few buildings beyond our location, and almost no traffic. It is not uncommon, especially in the spring and fall to sit on the back deck and hear nothing but nature for hours. At night, with the area being one of the least unpopulated areas in the Northeast the night time light pollution is very low, both the moon and night time sky are extremely bright and vibrant.
