This cottage used to house the miners as they came off the boats to work the quarry. This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat offers a blend of modern comfort and nautical character. Featuring stainless steel appliances, original wood paneling, and warm wood flooring throughout, the cottage invites you to unwind in style. With a king bed and full bed upstairs, plus a cozy pull-out couch in the sunroom, it comfortably accommodates guests. The full bathroom on the second floor has an oversized walk-in shower. The sunroom, with its gas-burning woodstove, is an ideal spot to relax and soak in the tranquil ambiance of the water and nature. Step outside onto multiple decks and a balcony, where you can bask in sunshine, listen to the sounds of the sea, and watch the world go by. The cottage's location adds a fascinating historical touch, as it sits on land that was once the Sprucehead Quarry, which provided stone used in iconic landmarks like Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, the Auditorium Building in Chicago, and the post office in Bar Harbor. With so much rich history surrounding you, combined with modern comforts and views, this charming cottage offers an unforgettable getaway. Kayaks can be launched down the road, just a short drive from the cottage, tide dependent. Bring your bikes, water crafts, walking shoes, and nature-watching eyes. Located just behind Atwood Lobster Co., which is a working waterfront wharf and seafood distributor. There can be some working trucks and vehicles. Only a stone’s throw from the award-winning, world famous, McLoon’s Lobster Shack, this charming cottage offers a fun and cozy coastal retreat. Enjoy fresh lobster right at your doorstep, or take a scenic 10-minute drive to Rockland, a vibrant seaside town known for its thriving arts scene and rich maritime history. In Rockland, explore the Farnsworth Art Museum, which showcases American art, or visit the Maine Lighthouse Museum for a glimpse into the state's storied past. The town also hosts a variety of exciting festivals throughout the year, including the Maine Lobster Festival and the Rockland Blues Festival. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Housekeeping (on request) ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114470000/114464900/114464893/e8961c7e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Coastal Retreat with Comfortable Living Space and Washer/Dryer Port Clyde - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 8.8 Excellent 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=114464893&PinnedHotelID=114464893&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Water view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95450000/95445100/95445009/6e8014d1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Trade Winds on the Bay Rockland - Pool - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 8.4 Very good 287 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=95445009&PinnedHotelID=95445009&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90040000/90038700/90038696/da232572.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely home with harbor views, gas grill, streaming, W/D, & gourmet range South Thomaston - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.2 Wonderful 20 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=90038696&PinnedHotelID=90038696&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106550000/106544100/106544056/9b71e140.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Cottage with Ocean Views, Sunsets and Dog-Friendly Charm South Thomaston - Sea view - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 8.8 Excellent 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=106544056&PinnedHotelID=106544056&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44980000/44972100/44972039/4a7dcdde.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Comfortable, Close to Town Home, with Oceanview.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: One of the cleanest cottages I have ever stayed in. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms so I didn’t have to think of the basics. Comfy beds with nice linens. And the bedrooms were spacious and light. Enough room for two couples or a family with two kids. Located within walking distance of McCloons which has the best lobster and crabmeat rolls in Maine. Great area to walk, bike, canoe or watch a working lobster coops at work. ##### Beth A.
