Private, peaceful cottage in a wooded setting in walking distance to the village | House in Tenants Harbor
4 Bedroom House in Tenants Harbor
Balsam Cottage is a family - friendly cottage where our children and grandchildren have gathered to enjoy all that Mid-Coast Maine has to offer. The cottage is a lovely place for multigenerational families to vacation together. The cottage is usually rented from Saturday to Saturday during the summer months and is available for more flexible bookings during spring and fall. This sunny and spacious 4 bedroom cottage is a quiet retreat that is sheltered by tall spruce trees that provide privacy, yet the harbor and the village are only a short walk away. A ramp leads to the large wooden wrap around deck that is outfitted with comfortable chairs, and a table with an umbrella. The deck is a private place to have morning coffee or afternoon tea while watching the birds, reading a good book, or planning your activities for the next day.
On the first floor of the cottage there is comfortable seating for up to eight guests, a fireplace, and a large screen smart TV. Guests can log in to their own Apps. and watch whatever they want. There is also a bright, sunny dining area where the family can gather, and a galley kitchen. There are also two bedrooms on the first floor with Queen beds, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower and a comfort height commode. A washer/dryer unit is also is located on the first floor.
On the second floor there are two large bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a full size bed and a twin bed. There is a second full bathroom between the two bedrooms with a tub/shower.
Access to the shorefront just a five minute walk away. Our guests can launch their kayaks or canoes in this area and explore the waters of Tenants Harbor. We recommend Drift Inn public beach in Port Clyde, a 5-10 minute drive from the cottage, for swimming. This beach has a beautiful sandy expanse at low tide. Bring a picnic lunch, a good book and enjoy the day! There is a public parking lot a short walk from the beach and stairs provide easy access to the shore.
The village of Tenants Harbor is just a short walk away from the cottage with scenic views of the harbor along the way. The post office, general store, The Quarry Tavern & Harbor Bistro at The East Wind Inn, The Town Landing, The Schoolhouse Bakery, and the Happy Clam restaurant with its Outback bar are nearby. Walk down Main Street and drop in at the St. George Historical Society to learn about the area. Continue on past the Town Office and see the sculpture of St George and the Dragon. The Jackson Memorial Library and Granite Gallery are only minutes away.
The cottage is located only a short distance (10 minute)drive to Port Clyde where you can book tickets for the Ferry to Monhegan Island, pick your favorite flavor at Village Ice Cream, enjoy the scenic view from Marshall Point Light, or check out the art galleries.
