You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Your Windows To The Ocean, Lobstering Village, And Private Floating Dock!

Bask in the natural marine beauty and wildlife of Muscongus Bay on the deck of the fourth generation family home, lovingly named Briarnook. Built in the waning days of schooners, Briarnook was completely remodeled and modernized to take advantage of the spectacular 180 degree water and island views.

The two bedroom, one bath coastal cottage features a full deck with seating for a dozen, a sleeping cabin for two additional guests, and an easy ride to the charming towns of Damariscotta, Boothbay Harbor, Rockland, and Camden. Or stay closer to your summer home and climb Pemaquid's lighthouse for a seagull's view of the bay and enjoy fresh seafood at Shaw's famous restaurant in New Harbor.

The large deck provides a wonderful place to relax, and watch local lobster fishermen haul traps and then return later in the day with their catch. Or... get up with the sun, and watch the fishermen as they leave for the day! The large picture windows continue to provide the breathtaking views as you prepare meals in the well equipped , fully modern kitchen.

Make Briarnook your summer or autumn retreat and return to your life refreshed as these former guests did:

“We spent many days seeing and photographing Maine. It was always so pleasant to think we would be returning each day to such a relaxing and wonderful home situated in such an incredible setting.” --M.H.

“We just loved the view! Spent lots of time in the gliders and recliners enjoying the wildlife.”
--J.C.

“Sitting in the glider on our last morning watching the sun try to break through the clouds, and the birds. The layout is perfect and everything is so comfortable and cozy. You don't mind cooking on vacation with a view like that!”
--A.D.

“It is so serene and beautiful here and the cottage is easy to stay and relax in.”
