The Nezinscott Cottage was built in 1896 by 10 families from Turner, Maine. The club was formed by the ten Turner Center people. Reverend John Kimball were owners of the lot at Bailey Island and they chose nine others to go and build the cottage. Black and white photos from its construction adorn the new shiplap white walls. The lumber for the structure was obtained from the woods and milled in al local saw mill. It was then hauled by horses and loaded on cars and shipped by rail to Portland. It was then transferred to a boat and taken the 20 miles from there to the Island. An ox team drew it to the cottage site. The group went in August of that year along the same route which the lumber had been taken and camped in tents (captured in pictures on the wall of Nezinscott) while the cottage was being erected. This was prior the world's only cribstone bridge that was built in 1925 giving Bailey great accessibility. The following year, the group went down again and divided the building into a bedroom for each of the ten owners. This was changed with this renovation to a massive Primary Bedroom and bath and two bedrooms and full bath upstairs. At that time, there were very few cottages and has since become a very popular summer place. The Johnson Family purchased the cottage and for over 60 years has had many rental visitors prior to this renovation nearing completion. We love history so we hope you enjoy our historic sea home on the best accessible island in Maine.

This cottage offers its guests a spa tub and a fitness center. This cottage also features barbecue grills and a garden.

This Bailey Island cottage is smoke free.
