Description

Welcome to the Cow Point Cottage. Visitors looking for that quintessential Maine cottage will find what they are looking for here. If you are looking for gorgeous deep water views, rocky shore frontage and a cozy fireplace, the Cow Point Cottage is for you.

This quaint cottage is just 7 miles from the center of Machias where you will find a grocery store, restaurants, Walgreens, a hospital and gas stations. It is also just 1 mile from Roque Bluffs State Park Beach. It's a comfortable yet rustic getaway that is perched on Cow Point in Roque Bluffs, overlooking scenic Roque Island on Englishman Bay.

This lovely secluded cottage has three bedrooms – each set up with a full sized bed - to comfortably accommodate 6 people, two fireplaces, two full bathrooms, a spiral staircase, cathedral ceiling, front deck overlooking deep water, a full kitchen, local phone service, Internet access, Smart TV, DVD player, microwave, washer, dryer, electric heat and a winding seaside trail to the ocean with a benched vista.

Cow Point Cottage offers the perfect setting for those who are looking to get away from it all. Relax on the deck and watch the passing lobster boats, sea birds and eagles. The scenery never ceases to amaze you and will inspire the artist inside you. Bring your easel and paints and set up on the rocky shoreline. The artistic opportunities are endless. It is also a perfect place to enjoy a book, your morning coffee or an evening cocktail or glass of wine.

If you are a hiking enthusiast, there are many hikes in the Downeast area to enjoy. Spend time in Cutler on the Bold Coast Trails or Western Head Trail, venture to the Jonesport area and hike the Great Wass Island Preserve trails or stay closer to the cottage and hike the trials near Roque Bluffs State Park Beach.

Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are an easy day trip. There is so much to do and see that you may want to plan a couple of day trips to experience it. Don’t miss out on the Schoodic Peninsula in Winter Harbor as well. This lesser known portion of Acadia National Park is beautiful and dramatic with its hikes along the granite ledges.

If you want to leave your car behind, you can hop aboard the Schoodic Ferry in Winter Harbor and cruise to Bar Harbor for the day. The ferry ride takes about 45 minutes and you will be treated to unforgettable views from the water, shore birds and perhaps some seals. Once across the water, you can walk around Bar Harbor, visit the shops and enjoy a fabulous meal. Then hop back on the ferry for a relaxing ride back to Winter Harbor.

Sightseers and history buffs will also find their interests peaked. You can spend the day visiting West Quoddy Head Lighthouse in Lubec, and travel across the bridge to Campobello Island, Canada and visit FDR’s famed summer home. Visit the Burnham Tavern in Machias or the Ruggles House in Columbia Falls. There are so many sites to see and enjoy.

You can experience the coastline from the water as well. Visitors marvel at the beauty of the Maine coast by taking a cruise out of Cutler to see the Puffins with the Bold Coast Charter, whale watch or take an evening schooner cruise with Eastport Windjammers in Eastport, sea kayak with Sunrise County Canoe & Kayak in Machias or take an excursion in a lobster boat and experience the days catch with Robertson Sea Tours in Milbridge. There are so many options to try.

The slower pace of life in Downeast Maine has a way of captivating you. It draws you in and leaves you wanting to return again and again.
