Matinicus cottage

Are you looking for a unique vacation close to home?  Come and bid on a one-week stay in the charming Studio Cottage on Matinicus Island.  This very private beachfront cottage is an ideal get-away for artists and nature lovers.  Very rustic, yet incredibly romantic, it is perfect for those hardy souls who don't mind hauling their own water and taking outdoor solar showers!  It has an open floor plan with a fully equipped kitchen and dining/living area downstairs with a wood stove, and sleeping loft.  The front deck overlooks Ten Pound and Criehaven islands in the Penobscot Bay, and can't be beat for sunbathing or evening cocktails. A classic outhouse adds the finishing rustic touch with the best view on the island!  Matinicus is located 20 miles south of Rockland in the Penobscot Bay, and can be accessed by water taxi or small plane.
