It is comprised of a large natural cove filled with an array of boats from working lobster boats to gorgeous pleasure crafts. Located on the Northern Point of Round Pond Harbor the views on the property are stunning. You could be taking in the activity of the harbor in one direction, then watch sailing classes and lobster boats working off Loud's Island in another or just gaze down the bay. The Cottage is a beautiful walk to the village where you can enjoy the Muscongus lobster pound, the beloved Granite Hall toy / ice cream / and candy shop, a wonderful coffee shop and bakery, a little market, antique store , boutique and art gallery. You could spend your time enjoying the majestic shoreline, reading on the dock and eating in the village without ever getting in your car. If do get in your car there are endless hikes, coastal vista's , and sweet villages to explore. Let us know your interests (kayak, fish, eat, shop, hike) and we will point you in the right direction. The Quarry Cottage is named after a granite quarry located just behind the owners studio, you will see the large blocks of granite that were once cut and now rest on the shore. The Quarry was active in the late 1800's when much of the granite used to build New York and Boston came from Maine. The property around the quarry is available for you to explore by path, this is not a swimming quarry but it is very cool to explore and you can swim in the ocean off the rocks. You can walk to all the amenities in the village but you could also drive, parking is available. There are a lot of fun day trips you could take from Round Pond including to islands via a ferry. A day tip to Monhegan Island is really special. You can rent kayaks and explore the beautiful Islands of Muscongus Bay. If ocean kayaking is too much there are stunning lakes in Lincoln county to explore and kayak rental is available for that as well. Again, ask us if there is something you are interested in and we'll help you out.
