Historic waterfront cottage offers quiet, comfortable intimacy. | Cottage in Frenchboro
1 Bedroom Cottage in Frenchboro
Ideal for writer/artist/composer seeking solitary creativity; a couple wanting a truly intimate getaway; a nature lover or bird-watcher or hiker wanting perfect conditions to follow a path of discovery.
The founder of Frenchboro, Israel Lunt, chose this site in the early 1820s on which to build his original home (which the current owner occupies). The guest cottage of the same vintage was later moved to its location between the house and the newly constructed barn . This charming, Colonial-style cottage has a comfortable open concept living space downstairs with full kitchen, and bath, room to lounge, with two plush chairs and a sofa that converts to a queen sized bed, and a window-side table with harbor view for morning coffee or journaling. The upstairs loft offers privacy with a plush double bed and two singles (perfect for young offspring). You will all enjoy the harbor-front view, private beach, able to witness the small lobster fishing fleet coming and going (with just-caught dockside lobsters at about $8 a pound). On this 5.5 square mile island that is 75 percent Maine Coast Heritage Trust land, you have access - with no crowds, ever! - to more than 13 miles of wilderness waterfront walking trails (more than Acadia) and moss-strewn woods that are magical to explore. You will discover an island with zero vehicle traffic (except briefly on the three days of the week (Wednesday, Thursday Sunday) when the ferry comes from Bass Harbor). Frenchboro will surround you will a peacefulness-inducing vibration from the surrounding ocean wave action and frequent wind through the trees. (And you can listen to your own heart beat.) You have a full kitchen with the usual amenities, or you may choose to grill outside. This property has its own pier on the harbor where you are welcome to lounge or dive in - safely at high tide! If your daily life makes you wish to be far from the madding crowd, this is the place for you - friends and family and lover(s). Every guest who has stayed here has loved it! But it requires some planning around the ferry schedule, so consider when you wish to arrive and when to leave, as the trip from Bass Harbor past Great Gott and Little Gott and Placencia and Black islands provides a unique glimpse of Maine's spectacular archipelagic coast.
