Photos and Description of the Islesboro Island vacation cottage rental 2 Bedrooms, Fabulous Large Deck for Outdoor Living

The cottage is now available for winter rental, November - May. It's a comfortable, cozy, winterized home. Think 19th century Vermont transported to an island in the ocean! Crow's Nest cottage is an easy 20 minutes by ferry off the gorgeous Maine coast. 100 years old, shingle-sided, and newly renovated. Crow's Nest cottage is located at the northern, rural end of legendary Islesboro Island, considered by many the most beautiful of all Maine islands. The cottage faces the Meadow Pond, a quiet, lush wildlife refuge. Great value for a fabulous location! Sleeps 4 comfortably. Smoke-free home. We welcome 1 or 2 well-behaved, well-groomed dogs. This is a place that 'time forgot.' Walk, bike, or drive to a spectacular shore or beach in minutes. Sunny and huge deck!

Islesboro Island is perhaps the most beautiful of all Maine islands. A 14 mile long gem with secluded beaches and rocky coves, Islesboro’s simple and quiet elegance has made it world famous. Accessible via a 20 minute, gorgeous ferry ride from Lincolnville Beach -- 10 minutes north of Camden, 15 minutes south of Belfast -- the island is a unique community where the sea, natural wonders, and amazing historic homes are the attraction. This is a place that “time forgot.” If you are looking for movie theaters, amusement parks, bars, fast food, shopping, and crowds, this is NOT a place for you. Awesome kayaking, beach combing, walking, running, biking, and birding areas! Most of all, this is a place for complete relaxation. The world-class Farnsworth Art Museum is located less than 1 hour away -- on the mainland in Rockland -- this is a rare treat and worth a long visit on a rainy day.

Comfy chaise lounges and great sunny exposure make it hard to leave the deck on many days.... A Spacious Kitchen: Sunny spacious kitchen gives you plenty of elbow room in which to cook. As part of the large, open, main floor, the cook can chat with the kids playing cards on the dining table or your honey relaxing in the living room.

But.... let us know if this is a hardship, and we will be happy to provide very nice linens for you convenience. We will send you a 'care package' before you come!

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Islesboro Island, Maine

Our Meadow Pond Neighborhood: Crows Nest cottage is located “up-island” and looks across to the 20 acre, fresh water, Meadow Pond, a neat wildlife refuge for deer, birds, turtles, beaver, etc. You need a car on the island to get to the 2 small grocery stores, to the 2 restaurants and ice cream parlor, for speedy trips to local beaches and public playground, and to get to the ferry. A Place with Hundreds of Secluded and Hidden Coves and Beaches If you love the splendor of the Atlantic Ocean and Maine coast without droves of tourists, Islesboro is your place. There are dozens of secluded and incredible coves and beaches -- both sandy and rocky -- within a 5 to 15 minute drive from the cottage. Or pack a backpack and bike (or walk!!) to them....Explore them on foot and or in a kayak. Bring picnic lunches and suppers and play Robinson Crusoe on your 'private' island.
