Rose Cottage

It's a lovely house — a traditional Maine summer house with an enclosed front porch overlooking the village and the waterfront. Of course, the windows open (with screens) to create a screen porch atmosphere. Find rocking Adirondack chairs and a table and chairs for morning coffee or a casual dinner as the sun sets.

Inside, find 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a living room, kitchen and dining room. The living room has comfortable furniture along with good reading lights, a television and cable. A high-speed Internet connection is also available.

The kitchen is fully-equipped (lots of storage and prep room, thanks to the adorable butler's pantry) with all modern appliances, cookware, dishes, etc. The kitchen also has a breakfast table that can seat 4–6. The dining room seats 6 and overlooks the lawn and waterfront — these two rooms are close enough to comfortably seat a larger party without feeling disconnected.

Off the living room find the first bedroom — with twin beds — and the original built-in glass-paned cupboards. This bedroom is afforded privacy, thanks to the butler's pantry, but is just a walk away from the downstairs bathroom (full with shower).

The master is also on this floor with a queen bed and its own bathroom (full with shower).

Upstairs, find two more bedrooms, each with a queen. Both of these bedrooms are roomy and sunny.

The house has hardwood floors and all the original woodwork. There is also an Internet connection at this house.

For those who want a change of pace, the larger cities of Rockland and Camden are just 25–30 minutes away.

You will get salty breezes, a wonderful front lawn from which to sit and watch the boats come in and out, and a feeling that will last you the rest of the year.
