Cove Cottage: Quietly Nestled Between The Pines Of Tranquil Seavey Cove
Cove Cottage is a nature lover's paradise and the foundation for your peaceful vacation. Uniquely surrounded on three sides by the calm emerald waters of Seavey Cove. You can step onto the deck and watch the glorious sunrise in the morning or the brilliant stars at night. A paddler's dream, launch your kayak or canoe mere steps from the cottage at mid to high tide and explore the islands of Long Cove and beyond into Penobscot Bay. Birders can be on the lookout for eagles, osprey, hawks, terns, kingfishers and herons. An occasional seal will check on you from the cove to make sure your relaxing. A traditional 1930's style cottage allows you to relax warmly away from today's technology ridden world. You'll want to turn off your cell phone, pick up a book or newspaper, play board-games, talk or take a walk and above all relax, relax, relax.

We had a wonderful time at Seavey Cove. The views are breathtaking, the cabin was perfectly clean and contained everything we needed. The hosts were helpful with restaurant recommendations and kindly offered more bed linens for my daughter who visited at the tail end of our stay.Would definitely book again!
What an amazing place tucked away in a tranquil location. We spent out days watching the birds and exploring the area. Cabin has everything you could want to feel at home and comfortable. We hated to leave and you will too. Thank you!
I can’t say enough about this property. Location, location, location…The views were unbelievable and I would highly recommend this property to anybody. We will definitely be back.
This was our second stay at the cabin and it had everything we needed for the perfect vacation. Days spent in the idyllic, peaceful setting enjoying nature. Great food at Schoolhouse bakery and the Happy Clam right down the road. Short trip to Rockland. Even made it to the last Puffin Cruise of the season. Thank you so much for sharing this special place with us and we hope to stay again next year!
We loved how quiet and secluded the cabin was while still having easy access to explore all of the little towns nearby. It felt like we were on our own little peninsula. The views of the cove were beautiful. Marshall Point/Drift Inn Beach were close by. Vanessa and Paul made great recommendations, and our family of four was quite comfortable. Thank you, again, for a peaceful visit.
Such a peaceful, beautiful place to relax and unwind. Lots of beautiful shore bids to watch. Vanessa was great with communication and very nice to rent from. Would love to return in the future.
A beautiful spot! It is on a tidal cove and watching the birds and animals are quite entertaining. From deer walking across the mud flats, ospreys, geese, and gulls to observing a duck's nest. The cottage has everything you need and the owners are very easy to communicate with. I will definitely be returning next year!
We loved our stay at Cove Cottage. The location is ideal for a quiet, peaceful getaway - the property felt private and secluded with fantastic water views and nature all around - while also being a great launching pad to towns and activities in the surrounding area. The cottage itself was nice and clean with rustic charm. We had a great stay here!
We stayed for a week and had a wonderful experience. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything that we needed. Best of all were the amazing views of water and wildlife. We would certainly return again!
There isn’t a negative about this property. The hospitality from the hosts, the location, and the location are all 5/5. Were Maine natives. If youre visiting the state or born and raised here this is plane to have the full experience. Thank you guys for everything and we’ll be visiting again next year.
All the best,
Mike and Julia
This cabin and location need to be seen to be believed! Beautiful views and an incredibly tranquil environment. We loved everything about our week here and hope to come back again in the future.
Wonderful cabin in a private area. Quiet and peaceful. Loved watching the tide go in and out. The owners were very easy to communicate with and helpful with giving recommendations in the area. Would stay here again.
Cozy rustic cabin surrounded by water, wildlife and beautiful views! We loved this peaceful gem on the water.
The hosts are wonderful, and very responsive to any questions/needs. We highly recommend this cabin for anyone who is looking for a idyllic Maine experience!
If you want to recharge in a peaceful and beautiful location, this is the place. The cottage is nestled in a private and quiet cove that provides amazing views of wildlife, trees, lobster boats and even Clark Island. My dog and I did our daily meditation on the rocks overlooking the cove every morning. The cottage itself is well equipped with everything you could need. Vanessa, the owner, was in contact on our first day to make sure that we were having a pleasant stay and answered any questions that I had. The cottage was decorated to reflect the true essence of Maine. The location is near numerous great restaurants, although we did cook a lobster dinner at the cottage one night since they have a very large lobster pot to use. Everything was perfect and we will definitely return
The house provide everything we needed. The location is off a quiet dirt road and neighboring house can barely be seen. Nice quiet piece of land next to the water.
If you are looking for a quiet secluded spot surrounded by the beauty of Maine then this little cottage is perfect. There are many cute towns surrounding Tenant Harbor. The cabin was clean and cozy. We had a problem with the electrical system in the master bedroom (the breaker box just needed to be flipped) and the property owner was quick to help. Such a nice lady. My girlfriend and I didn’t want to leave!
We rented this cabin for a quiet, relaxing few days away and it was perfect. The cabin is quaint and charming with amazing views.... wake up for the sunrise - you won’t regret it! Just a short drive to Rockland for great dinner options, local state parks and beaches... we already can’t wait to go back!

Why they chose this property
This property has been in my family since the mid 1700's. Part of the cabin was built in the 1930's and the newer section was added onto in the 1970's. The property is unique because it is private and the cabin literally sits on a small spit of land over looking the cove. There is a view of the water on three sides. Also, the cove is a beautiful emerald green due to the reflection of the surrounding trees.
What makes this property unique
It's rustic beauty and provides a peaceful place to relax and unwind!
