Coastal Maine Cottage

Space Beautiful coastal area - enjoy biking, birding, hiking, kayaking canoeing and swimming. Sailing crusies on the bay are also available. Interesting and stimulating cultural events and some great places to eat and shop. The cottage is private and includes a sleeping loft, futon couch on the ground floor, small kitchenette, bathroom with an very good hot shower, and a baby grand piano. This is a musician's perfect getaway to practice, compose, record, and delve into their music. Guest access Guests have access to a kitchenette in the cottage and a full kitchen my nearby home. High speed internet. Free parking right next to the cottage. Guest interaction I really enjoy getting to know guests but I will also respect your privacy. I love the area and know it well. I would be very happy to show you around a bit if we can both find the time Getting around There is limited public transportation available in Surry. However, the city of Ellsworth is located approximately 10 miles away where there is bus service to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, and Bangor. The village of Blue Hill is located about 8 miles away. Other things to note There is a beautiful vista of approximately 20 miles out to the peaks of the mountains of Acadia National Park from the deck of the cottage. The unique and internationally known Surry Concert Barn is about a two minute walk from the cottage. We plan to have a summer program of arts and other special topic events including concerts, films, theater, art exhibitions, etc. Pets Dogs and cats are welcome, but you must contact me in advance so we can discuss details. Upon approval, there is an additional cleaning fee of $40.00 per pet. The cleaning fee is payable in cash, due upon checkout. Please note that many animals live near the property and frequently walk through it (such as deer, wild turkeys, neighbors' cats, etc.) A porcupine lives under one of the barns, so we recommend keeping dogs on a leash when outside to avoid injury.
