The Smuggler's Retreat

Sit on the deck, feel the breeze and enjoy the view over the Little River. From your leafy vantage point, you can revel in your privacy,

This cottage is located in a lovely setting with woods wrapped around on three sides and a water view. You can see the setting sun over Glen Cove and Little River from the second-floor deck. This two-bedroom cottage has an open kitchen, dining and living area, two bedrooms (queen and full beds) , and a bath on the second floor. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare delicious meals including a drip coffee maker, pots, pans, dishes and all utensils. A cozy gas fireplace in the corner flips on with the convenience of a switch.
There is a spacious walkout deck just off the dining area on the second floor with room for grilling, dining, and relaxing. It is a great spot for reading, napping, or listening to nature -- the wind in the trees, birds, and abundant wildlife.
Back inside, an interior spiral staircase takes you to a great room downstairs with a second bathroom, brand new Full sized sleeper sofa and a grade-level walk-out.
From the cottage, you have access to a two-mile loop that takes you out to the open ocean where you can see Cuckold lighthouse, Damariscove, and Ram Islands as well as the Damariscotta River. Take a left from the cottage for your short evening walk and follow the road bordering the river to where it meets the wild, crashing sea. Take a deep breath and smell the piney woods mingling with the salty air. Yes, this is why you came here.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD - A birdwatcher's paradise, the best neighborhood for any nature lover. Follow the Land Trust trail and walk to East Boothbay General Store, or go the other way and walk all the way into town.

The perfect neighborhood for kayaking or canoeing. Glen Cove is full of nooks and crannies and hidden coves, teeming with wildlife including seals and puffins. Glide over a shipwreck or enjoy a guided tour of the local wildlife and the harbor, or let the day unwind and enjoy the rich vibrant colors of a Maine sunset.

  The home was such a cozy home away from home. We mostly used the upstairs and deck. The property was as described and more! There were so many hidden gems to read, hand made ceramics to mix salads in, and even toys for young kids! We could tell this home has facilitated many memories.
  
  There as exceptional customer service and we felt like we could ask anything at anytime.

  We had a wonderful stay at the Smugglers Retreat. The house was clean and perfect for our family of 6. The kids loved the spiral staircase!
  The area around the house was calm and quiet. We enjoyed many walks around Samoset Trail and across the little dam. The landscape is beautiful!
  The deck is perfect for meals and the large sliding doors add so much more light and air flow.
  Just a lovely location!
