Photos and Description of the Spruce Head vacation cottage rental 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, sleeps 3 adults comfortably, or 2 adults and one ch

Comfortable and peaceful cottage on a safe and quiet lane in Spruce Head Village with glorious, unrestricted and wide views over Seal Harbor beach. Southerly views of the ocean make the inside of the cottage bright, cheery and sunny. Within a two minute walk you will find a Fisherman's Shack to buy Fresh Crab and Lobster. Everywhere you stroll on the Spruce Head peninsula you will see the ocean sparkling blue and shiny. Rockland is a 10 minute drive away and offers world class restaurants and art galleries, including the famous Farnsworth Museum featuring many Wyeth and Winslow Homer works. The Mid-Coast area is situated perfectly for day trips to Pemaquid to the South and Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor to the North. Spruce Head is a traditional New England village with lobstering roots, and offers convenient sailboat and motorcraft moorings as well as easy staging points for Ocean Kayakers eager to explore the myriad islands of the Mussell Ridge Channel around Spruce Head.

Spruce Head Cottage is situated in a safe, quiet and friendly Village Neighborhood, within walking distance of a Post Office, Church and small General Store. Spruce Head Island, attached to the Village of Spruce Head by a small bridge, has two fishing docks where lobster boats bring in their catch daily. Two miles away is the 'Gig' Store perched on the edge of the harbor, near the Reversing Falls. It is well-known for its fresh lobster and crab-meat rolls. The harbor, or salt water estuary, is a popular spot where you can fish from the bridge or alongside the water's edge, casting your line for Stripers. Rockland, a 10 minute drive away, has become an art mecca with many galleries including the famous Farnsworth Museum housing Wyeth and Winslow Homer originals. Rockland has an old-fashioned brick-fronted downtown with an active waterfront and is the home of several three-masted schooners that take passengers on daily or weekly cruises along the coast of Maine.

June 2008~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'As I write we are packed up and ready to leave. We have had to drag ourselves from the deck and leave that beautiful view behind. We really could have sat there all day. We will certainly recommend your place here and this part of Maine'. Andrew and Irene E - Liverpool, England 8/15/2008

'We love your house - so clean, so calm. We enjoyed the rain as much as the sun. You do have a piece of Heaven here at Spruce Head Cottage and we would like to come back next year.' Lucy & John H.- Rhinebeck, NY

'What a wonderful 2 weeks, beautiful weather and a lovely cottage in a wonderful spot! I hope to return next year. Will be in touch. Thanks'. Chris and Gary H - Syracuse, N.Y. 9/27 2008 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ John and Kate, How lucky we were to meet you and have the wonderful opportunity to stay at your cottage! We love the special village of Spruce Head, all the neighbors, the beautiful scenery and most of all our 'landlords' who have become our very good friends. In fact, this whole experience has been so special for us that we are in the process of buying a place just across the cove... We hope to be a part of this area for the rest of our lives. Chris and Gary, October 5, 2009

Great time in Spruce Head

CliffordandEmily Glendale, CA USA
Review Submitted: October 7, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
My wife and I journeyed from Califonia in September and stayed for a very happy week in John and Kate's cottage in Spruce head. The place is cozy and comfortable and after our hectic lives it was great to relax in a truely quiet spot. It was a treat to just open the fridge on the first night and and find lobsters already cooked for us! We later found out KAte caught them herself. The view of the ocean is great and the price is really reasonable so we will definitely make our way back next year.
