Cozy waterfront log cottage with huge outdoor living area.
Completely escape to this 100 year old oceanfront log cottage. Astonishingly cozy with a classic rustic feel but updated with a modern kitchen and amenities. This cottage is one spacious room with a queen bed and pull out couch. The well equipped kitchen is a separate room. Perfect for a couple looking for a quiet getaway or a small family in search of a seaside adventure. Enjoy the expansive deck that sits over the water at high tide. Watch Bald Eagles and Osprey fish for hours. Paddle the protected cove on the two, single-person kayaks provided for your use. Fish, swim, launch the kayaks, and stargaze from the dock. You will not find a more peaceful spot to refresh and reset.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The cabin was cozy; deck over the water was incredible; great kayaking! Just as described: cozy, clean, & peaceful… The perfect retreat!
The historic cottage is well appointed with everything you need for a summer respite. There is a large picture window that gives a beautiful waterfront view. The large deck is equipped with a table and chairs for dinning with a carryout from the Pemaquid Lobsterman's Co-op. The Adirondack chairs are perfect for your summer read. IT IS SO QUIET THERE. We are already planning our return next summer
This is the cutest little cottage with the most amazing deck and view of the cove. It could not be more peaceful. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway on the coast then I highly recommend staying here!

The peace and serenity this cabin provides makes it the perfect retreat! You will recharge your batteries surrounded by nature. This spot captures the essence of Maine’s slogan…“The way life should be.”
Our stay was incredible. The property was in a perfect spot to watch the sunrise, spot bald eagles and seals on the harbor, and relax over a long weekend. The cabin is gorgeous, with a beautiful deck that serves as a perfect place for breakfast, lunch, and evening drinks. 15/10.
The cabin is perfectly cozy and the setting is a nature-lover's delight. You can watch the sun rise from your bed, have cocktails on the enormous deck while you watch the crabs come out, leaping fish and birds galore (including a bald eagle). We loved our stay and our hosts - we encourage anyone to take advantage of a fantastic meal a short stroll up the hill when you stay. Loved it!
We returned to Poorhouse Cove because we loved it last August. We still love it. A perfect couples getaway in a rustic, well appointed and clean cabin. The deck is amazing.
A peaceful, magical retreat where great blue heron hang out and an occasional seal visits. A place where sky and water greet you when you wake and soothe and entertain you throughout your stay. A quiet, secluded and charming cabin. The peninsula’s in the area are easy to explore and steeped with history and beauty. Great food is easy to find and the locals are friendly and helpful.
In our experience this is one of the most beautiful places we have visited. The cabin on the cove was private, with an amazing view from the windows and large deck. We enjoyed the kayaks but mainly watching the tides, birds wood duck family and shooting stars. The cabin was as described, with a well equipped kitchen and a comfortable bed. A perfect couple getaway. Lots of wonderful trails and places to eat lobster.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this cozy, private little cabin, which looks out over the water from what is perhaps the best site in mid-coast Maine. We made liberal use of the deck for meals, reading and relaxing and explored the estuary from the two kayaks provided. The owners, who operate an event space on the property, are cordial and responsive. We look forward to coming back.
We enjoyed our stay at this little cabin. We liked the deck overlooking the water for our morning coffee. We didn't prepare any meals here other than cold breakfasts but there is a kitchen with plenty of pots and pans available. There are tons of local lobster shacks and restaurants nearby. I highly recommend visiting Pemaquid Seafood, south Bristol lobsterman's wharf and Shannon's unshelled express in Boothbay if you want great lobster. We also visited Glidden oyster farm and learned about oyster farming. Pemaquid lighthouse was also a great place to visit while you're in the area.
If you want QUIET, this is the perfect place. All we could hear was the sounds of the ocean. Loved waking up to the sound of boats and sea life. At high tide the deck is actually OVER the water. You seriously can’t get closer to the ocean than this. AND- they don’t cheap out on the toilet paper! 😜
From the moment we arrived at the cottage we fell in love with the location, the large private deck on the water and the charm of the interior. The large picture window that overlooked the deck provided an excellent opportunity
to view a living work of art. The large fireplace, fully furnished kitchen and touches of decorative items placed inside added to the homey feel. The fan provided cooling from the late morning sun. The owners were wonderful being informative and supportive. We have already made plans to return to this gem next year!!
We had a wonderful time here. The cabin is right on the water, and there was an abundance of wildlife to watch. The location in S Bristol was perfect for us- we have friends and family here- and like to be able to get on the water and get groceries with ease. The cabin itself is magical, and it felt like stepping inside a folk tale. The doorways are low, as is common in old Maine homes. My husband is tall, so we put bright tape up to remind him to duck- an easy fix!
I did not think properties like this still existed!! The cabin is perfectly nostalgic yet covers all bases of modern conveniences (no TV, never missed it). And then there’s the view!!!! The water is right outside and the picture window and large deck accommodate this beautifully. The location is close to several small quaint towns with eateries and shops that exude Maine. As beautiful as this cabin’s front yard is, you may just choose to stay and soak it in. The owners are available, yet they stay back and respect your privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we truly hope to return again…and stay longer.
Gorgeous location and such a quiet, rustic cabin with all amenities needed for a relaxing, great time! There are some cool, quirky stores and pubs near by that are a must do.
Charming, calm, peaceful, cozy, are a few of the adjectives I would use for describing our stay at the waterfront cottage. Everything was lovely from the mesmerizing view to the homey interior.
Great quiet spot right on the water with large deck area. Kitchen is fully equipped. Large windows overlooking deck and bay. Everything in good condition.
