About this property

Seaward Cottage is located on the 170 acre property known as Sealedges-an oceanfront private reserve near the quaint lobstering village of Cutler.

There are ocean views from both bedrooms and living areas of this authentic Maine carriage house. The cottage is located on a private road with no public access. Hike for miles on trails along sea ledges offering spectacular seascape views, or walk on woodland paths frequented by grouse, deer and moose. This area is known for its fantastic bird watching. Eagles are seen regularly and puffin tours can be enjoyed out of nearby Cutler Harbor. See seals play in the ocean surf or watch the thick Cutler fog as it rolls in, swallowing the rocky coast and forest tree line.

Picnic at the Puffin Pavilion—the property’s screened porch in the woods. Walk creek side along towering granite cliffs to Cobble Beach. Here you can pick up small granite rocks rolled smooth by ages of storms and tidal surges. The tranquility and privacy of this area is what 'down east' Maine is all about.

Watch as the lobster boats return to Cutler Harbor with their fresh catch of the day. Visit the wharfs down the road to pick up your very own lobster dinner.

If sightseeing is on your agenda there are many day trips of interest around this part of the state. From Bar Harbor to Campobello and points in between, there is always something new to experience by car, kayak or boat tour.

Traveling with a pet is important to many visitors. We do allow up to (2) dogs to visit, with prior approval. There is a non refundable fee for each pet. Please ask for details when making your inquiry.

We are sure your visit to Sealedges and Seaward Cottage will be a memorable one.

Charming, quiet ,peaceful cottage within private mini national park

There is peace and quiet at this cottage surrounded by Maine’s natural beauty. Staying at this cottage is like staying at your own mini national park. The trails are amazing and offer every bit of breathtaking beauty as does any national or state park in Maine, but possibly even better due to the absence of tourists in search of stunning vistas. I highly recommend treating yourself and family to this special , private slice of immense Maine heaven.

Cool coastal escape

My husband, our dog, and I enjoyed our stay at this cottage on the Bold Coast of Maine immensely! The property is right on the ocean with a few pine trees in between the cottage and the cliffs. The space is very quiet and very private. The cottage itself was very comfortable and had lots of authentic charm. We cooked in the kitchen every night (mostly lobster from the nearby dock).

A calm getaway

As a place to get away from it all, this cottage is wonderful. Quiet. Sea breezes. Private roads and trails. Birding. Contemplative overlooks. And fresh-caught lobster just minutes away in Cutler. Couldn’t have asked for more!

A very special place!

I took a trip out here from Michigan, with my 4 boys, and we had an amazing time. Leslie is a wonderful host. The house was very clean, the beds were so comfy, and the views were wonderful! The kids and I enjoyed the property as well, my oldest explored each trail. We had a good time checking out the pavilion and seeing the island. We would go as a family after dinner and see what wildlife we could find. The property is very well maintained! It is in such a lovely spot, away from things but still within 30 minutes or less of what is needed. It was a trip we will always remember, what a beautiful place!

Best trip ever!!

Mike and Julie are the best...not to mention Julie's amazing blueberry cake!! Sealedges is gorgeous with endless scenery and wonderfully groomed trails (thanks to Mike). Julie makes sure the cottage is perfectly prepared. Cutler had limitations in terms of eating out, going to the grocery, etc...but the beauty of the place is well worth the drive into Machias. Do yourself a favor and stay here...we can't wait to come back!!

Magical

The cottage is situated a hundred yards or so from the edge of the sea. The land probably consists of a few hundred acres of mostly fragrant balsam forest and dramatic sea edge. It is shared with the owner who generously allows guests to traverse the gravel driveway and paths. The cottage is immaculate and charming. It is the first house on the driveway at the flagpole, which can be confusing because this is not stated on the access doc. The Bold Coast (between Cutler and Lubec) offers several trails that contain short to long hikes. I particularly liked the Boot Head Trail in Lubec. Blaze orange should be worn on trails.

Just what we needed!!

We had a great week at this property, doing just what we wanted, which wasn't much. We needed to relax, reconnect and recharge and that's just what we did. The cottage is beautiful and the property is gorgeous. There is something to do for every age and plenty to see in the area. Thank you so much for sharing your property with us!!

Bold Coast Stay

This property is amazingly beautiful and eerily mysterious at the same time. House was comfortable. It’s set back from the water, but you can still hear the waves from the porch and in the bedrooms with the windows open. Weather and water both felt unpredictable. Sun shining one min and the next the fog rolls in. We did not swim or kayak from the property as the water’s pull was very strong and it felt unsafe with the kids. We had a wonderful time exploring the property and all its trails, which are excellently maintained and clearly marked. We road our bikes to and from the pavilion and the kids enjoyed riding up and down the pavement of Little Machias Rd. We also enjoyed exploring a few towns in the area, such as Machias, Lubec and Eastport. Went swimming at Roque Bluff and even caught the sun rise one morning at West Quoddy Head Lighthouse! We had a fabulous vacation exploring the Bold Coast of Maine.

Relax and Recharge

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Sea Ledges. After the last difficult 18 months, we needed to get away to just relax and recharge. Sitting on the rocks or in the pavilion does just that. We love the Cutler area and hope to return again.

Wonderful!!

We spent two weeks at Sea ledge and enjoyed every moment! The property is amazing-other than grocery shopping, there is no reason to leave! We spent much time exploring all the different trails on the property and lots of time on Cobble Beach watching the tides, seals and eagles. If you are looking for peace and quiet and beauty, this is the place!

Sea Ledges - A Serene Part of the Bold Coast of Maine

Very comfortable cottage on 172 acres on the coast. Whether sunny or "Cutler foggy", we were at peace in God's beautiful place at Sea Ledges. Staying on the property we enjoyed trails along the coast cliffs. Off-property, day-trips were easy to Machias, Jonesport, Lubec, and elsewhere in Downeast Maine. Property owners and property manager were THE BEST! This is our second year and we shall return.

Rugged and Serene

We had a lovely stay and Leslie and her caretaker were lovely. My only complaint was the furnishings in the sunroom which are in need of replacing and uncomfortable, which is a shame because it's the best view in the house! My dogs loved chasing a ball on the lawn and met the nieghbors golden puppy and had fun. I went to the cobbled beach and chilled. So beautiful.

Beautiful Location

Exactly as described, like staying on a private preserve. Perfect for birders and other wildlife watchers. We enjoyed the trails every day, took full advantage of other nearby trails and preserves. Splurged on the local seafood. Few tourists around, mostly working fishing villages. The cottage was comfortable and charming, a welcome retreat each evening, going to sleep to the sound of surf and waking up to the same. This was Maine as I always imagined it.

Springtime in Cutler

This was our second time in a year at this property. Last year, we visited at the end of July and loved it. This year, we went mid June. Still fabulous, but the weather was completely different. Mid June is flower blooming season. There were millions of Lupines, wildflowers, wild iris, lilacs, pink weigelas and yellow lilies everywhere. And along with the flora come the hummingbirds. We would sit on the enclosed porch watching the hummingbirds draw nectar from the weigela bushes. We walked the Bold Coast trail and saw White Lady Slipper Orchids in the forest. We also did the Western Trail near the lobster place in the harbor. And we did a few of our favorite hikes on the Sea Ledges property. I brought my favorite saute pan because I wanted to create some elevated lobster dishes this time. One thing the cottage lacks is good quality cooking equipment (pots and knives). And lobster prices were double what they were last summer. Another bonus of our trip was the activity from a commercial shoot going on at the property next door on our last day. There are so many things that we love about this property and this part of Maine. Lots of great memories. Thank you, Leslie.

Bold Coast

We stayed in this nice little house for a week. It is located on a beautiful preserve that is expertly maintained by Mike. Mike or his wife check on you the day you arrive to make sure you find everything and to offer any last minute tips. The kitchen has plenty of plates, pots, pans, and utensils. Everything you need for cooking lobster is also included. The house is quaint. Now I must mention the mosquitoes. We could not put on enough "off" to keep them away. Previous guests suggested the hats and netting. We had none so maybe that helps. We had a great week. It was a little warm the first few days and since their is no air, the upstairs bed rooms get a little warm but once you open the window and turn on the fan they cool off some. If you are going out on the water bring layers, it gets quiet cool. You won't regret visiting here .

Overall very pleasant, Clean and enjoyable

The house was in a nice location, especially if you’re looking to get far away from the hustle & bustle & the grounds provided ample exploring. In addition, there were a lot of brochures about the area & places to visit. The king bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. It was chilly in the last week of May / first week of June when we were there and, as requested, we limited our use of the thermostats—which compromised our general comfort somewhat & we certainly appreciated the blankets & throws. We were also discouraged from using too much water & we did notice that the water pressure was low. We ended up buying bottled water to drink & cook with—because the water was very cloudy. The kitchen was otherwise well-stocked & meal-prep was easy. We did run out of toilet paper and could not find more, so we ended up buying some. We were not fans of the stuffed birds hanging on the wall in the living room or what felt to us like in-your-face religious décor (e.g. the prayer magnet on the fridge, the large decorative Bible on the dresser in the master bedroom, the “prayers-go-up-and-blessings-come-down” craft in the upstairs bathroom, plus the explicit religious proselytizing in the typed notes for guests. For us, the lighting in the house felt dark—especially on dark, foggy days & at night, but we recognize that others may have found the lighting cozy & romantic. On the whole, it was a lovely house on the Downeast Maine coast.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Winn

We are David and Leslie Winn and we live in Lago Vista, Texas outside of Austin. Our children are Ryan and Natalie, Jonathan, and Hunter and grand daughter Vivian. We fell in love with the Sealedges 20 years ago and spend as much time as we can there every summer.

Why they chose this property

We feel that this is a very special place….a sanctuary in which to feel closer to God and rejoice in the beauty of the world He created for us.

What makes this property unique

Our favorite time at Sealedges is spent with family and friends hiking the rock ledges, eating lobster at the Puffin Pavilion and star gazing at night. We love the privacy of the property. Long walks up the quiet neighboring roads end at the old pre Civil War Cutler Cemetery. Animal sitings are another past time as well as trips around the area visiting the local attractions. Our children say they love coming to Maine-it's beautiful, it's quiet and it is miles away from the stresses of home.
