Description

Located on Ray's Point in Milbridge, Maine, the Aspen Cove Cottage is a delightful, very private 3 bedroom log cottage nestled on 5 secluded acres overlooking Flat Bay.

This cottage resonates with quiet and tranquility, as it has no other neighbors close by, leaving the impression of having the entire bay to oneself. The warmth and privacy of this cottage is perfect for writers, couples or small families wanting to get away by themselves, while enjoying the Maine coast and the seclusion of the surrounding forest.
