About this property

Rest And Relax In Comfort While Exploring Mid-Coast Maine!

  • We welcome you to The Harbor Cottage on Barter's Point Road located in the sleepy, picturesque, fishing village of Tenants Harbor, Maine; the cottage rents from Saturday to Saturday during the Summer months and is available for more flexible bookings in the Spring and Fall. This 3 bedroom cottage is perched on an incline with terraced steps to the entrance. It is located across the street from the Harbor. There is a small shore front access a short walk away suitable for launching canoes and Kayaks. The cottage is equipped with WiFi and cable and furnished for comfort. Two of its three bedrooms have queen-sized beds and the third has a trundle bed. The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen that includes a large pot for cooking lobsters. The living room, with its beautiful but limited water view, has comfortable seating for lounging while in conversation, watching television or planning your next excursion. The front deck is also a great place to drink your morning coffee or evening cocktails. There is a small grocery and also a bakery within walking distance. Bring a picnic lunch to Drift Beach located a short drive away. Best at low tide, children can frolic and build castles on its silvery sands or search the rocks for sea creatures. When you leave the beach, visit Marshall Point light and Museum then drop by Village Ice Cream in Port Clyde and perhaps, make plans to take the ferry to Monhegan Island..

    If sight-seeing or antiquing is of interest, mid-coast Maine has a lot to offer. For more beautiful sights, visit Camden or Rockport to the north and find roadside stands boasting seafood and fresh produce along the way. Book a sail in Camden to the north or whale (or seal) watching and deep sea fishing in Boothbay an hour to the South. Make sure to visit the Maine State Prison Store in Thomaston, known for its handmade wooden furniture and gifts. The sailing ship in the living room picture came from there.
    And don't forget the seafood. Whether it is lobster, clams, fish or crab. It is delicious!
    All in all, there is a lot in the area to keep you entertained..

Wonderful!

Harbor Cottage was simply wonderful! The cottage itself is clean, well kept up, and well laid out. We spent several cups of coffee each morning on the deck watching boats in the harbor. We enjoyed being able to walk just a few minutes down to the water, to the general store, or to Luke's or the tavern at the East Wind Inn for dinner. It's a short drive to Drift Inn Beach and Port Clyde, where there's a ferry to Monhegan Island and a place to rent kayaks. Linda was great and very responsive. If and when I get to go back to beautiful Maine, Harbor Cottage will be my first choice for a place to stay.

We had a great time at the Harbor Cottage. The cottage was very neat and clean and had all the necessary housekeeping items to make our stay comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the furnishings were beautiful and comfortable. The beds were new and quite comfortable. Nice new bathroom. We especially liked watching the water from the front porch and my husband liked being across from the dock where he could go fishing. Tenants Harbor is one of our favorite vacation spots. We love visiting Port Clyde, Rockland, Camden and all the other neighboring towns. We even find it easy to travel down to Freeport or Portland for a day of shopping from Tenants Harbor. We have been coming here for many years and stayed in numerous cottages. This cottage was well worth the price.

A Wonderful Experience

Harbor Cottage is wonderful! A terrific place to relax and enjoy one of the best little villages in Maine. The house was comfortable and beautifully furnished. The kitchen is well equipped, and the mattresses are new! Everything encouraged a restful interlude from our hectic lives. We especially enjoyed sitting on the porch, coffee in hand, watching the fog roll out in the morning. The accessibility of the internet and cable TV kept my husband happy, while I enjoyed the serenity of the view of the boats coming in and out of the harbor. My daughter and grandchildren came with us to Tenants Harbor, and everyone was pleased with the accomodations. My 2-year-old grandson was especially excited by the "big boat" in the living room! And, wisely, it was out of his reach. The grandkids really loved sleeping in a trundle bed. My husband has to use a walker because of a broken hip, and he had no trouble accessing the cottage. We did have a problem with the stove when we first got to the cottage, but one phone call and it was fixed about an hour later. Very responsive. Dealing with Linda for the rental and the repair was pleasant and effortless. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for an enjoyable, tranquil get-away. The proximity of Marshall Point lighthouse and Rockland's museums and pubs and the many highlights of mid-coast Maine makes Tenants Harbor a perfect location. We have been coming to Tenants Harbor for years, and our experience at Harbor Cottage was one of best yet.

Getting away from it all

We spent two relaxing weeks in the cottage. The location made day trips to Port Clyde, Rockland, and Camden easy but as our stay progressed we had no desire to leave Tenants Harbor. We were in walking distance to the general store and restaurants. We enjoyed dinner at both the Happy Clam and Luke’s. Most days were spent sitting outside in the shade of the tree watching the lobster boats from the front yard or making the short drive to Drift Inn Beach at low tide. Most nights we stayed in and cooked lobsters in the steam pot provided. Our yellow lab enjoyed her daily walks and the friendly neighbors around Tenants Harbor. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed: wireless internet (for when we had to work), cable TV (though we seldom watched), washer/dryer, and fans for those warm days. It was a vacation with the comforts of home and we hope to return in the future.

Little slice of heaven!

This was a perfect rental! We actually booked this place at the very last minute after being in a horrible rental in Camden Maine. The owner was great to work with and responded very quickly to the one request we had during our stay. Tenants Harbor and Port Clyde are true hidden gems and we adored both places. We will definitely be back again!

Perfect location, Beautiful views, Cozy and comfortable cottage, best vacation we ever had

We are Florida's "Snow Birds" -1st timers. For me and my wife our first long vacation became one of our best. All three months went like one long happy weekend. We enjoyed beautiful views of Tenants Harbor in the light of rising sun and in the evening dusk, right across very quiet street, spending quiet evenings on the porch, and inside the cottage, cooking local lobsters and farmers produce. Cottage is very comfortable for both of us, all household amenities were right there. Nearby shopping was about 15-20 minutes away, plenty of restaurants, and places to go, for recreation , beaches, sightseeing. When hurricane Irma hit Florida and we could not return back, our Landlord offered us to stay here for a week longer, and did not charge for this week. Now we are going back and will always remember this summer . Thank you Linda. David and Regina
