Rustic two-story log cottage, River-view, Pet-friendly, Downeast Maine

Nestled in the heart of Downeast Maine, our cottages are a peaceful retreat. Our 7 cottages, along with our house, are located on the same large property in Edmunds Twp, Maine, United States. The cottages are in a wooded area with privacy maintained for each.

Originally built in 1936, Cottage #1 is a two-story log cottage featuring a field-stone fireplace and woodstove for heat. Complimentary firewood is provided in an outdoor woodshed. The cottage boasts a good-size kitchen, dining area, and living room downstairs. Upstairs there is a bathroom with shower and 3 bedrooms that sleep up to 7. There is one bedroom with a double bed, one with 2 single beds and one with 3 single beds. Linens and towels are provided. The large, screened porch overlooks the river and there is a stairway down to the beach and swimming area. There is also an outdoor charcoal grill and picnic table. Free WiFi is included.

Edmunds Township is in a very rural area within 30 minutes of a variety of coastal towns and activities. The property boasts a man-made pond and the Dennys River. We are also only a few hundred yards from the Sunrise Trail.

The closest stores are in Pembroke, a 6-mile drive. There is a Dollar General and a Freshies. These have some groceries and takeout options. The closest sit-down restaurant is 12 miles from us in Perry, but most are located in the towns of Machis, Calais, Eastport and Lubec which are a 20 to 30-mile drive. Many restaurants and stores close early here, so it's best to call ahead for hours if you are planning a later arrival.

All of the cottages have a kitchen so cooking for yourself is a money-saving option. Coming from the north, the last stop for groceries is Calais and coming from the south, the last stop for groceries is Machias. Both are about 25 miles from us. There are also grocery stores in Eastport and Lubec which are just over 20 miles.
