HONEYMOON COTTAGES, FAMILY REUNIONS
MAINE COAST VACATION COTTAGES AND CABINS. Available seasonally.
A real Maine coast cottage vacation getaway for kids of all ages! Many styles! Choose your favorite cottage in which to relax, cozy up by the fire, or return to after a day's adventure. You'll love your laid back vacation here!
  Choose your own Maine coast vacation cottage! Imagine yourself in a rustic log style retreat high on a hill overlooking the islands and East Penobscot Bay. Or, picture yourself cozied onto a sofa with a real woodburning fireplace, crackling fire, and view of the ocean right below outside your window! Envision your family playing board games on a screened porch with the smell and feel of gentle sea breezes and the sound of seagulls at the nearby beach! Delightful! After a day of fun and adventure relax with dinner in your own cottage or at one of the wonderful restaurants nearby.
 We have 15 family-sized cottages scattered along the shorefront or nestled amongst the trees. Cottages have from two to five bedrooms and come with simple, rustic, yet sophisticated comforts. They have spacious living rooms and most have real wood-burning fireplaces. Firewood is available for a small cost on site.
  There are a variety of kitchens or kitchenettes; some sophisticated, some funky rustic, cabin cool, all with utensils. Some cottages are log-cabin style built specifically for certain illustrious past guests from trees harvested on the property a half-Century ago. Each has its own distinct personality, well-maintained antique furnishings; and, stories to tell. Others have clapboard siding. Others are relatively new. Lone Pine Cottage is fully winterized and may be occupied during the winter as well.
  Centrally located on the Blue Hill Peninsula with lots of nearby activities, our Maine coast vacation cottages are ideal for couples, families with children, and grandparents with grandchildren. Roll away beds and cribs will fit into most. Many have hide-a-bed sofas and supplemental heat. However, there are few televisions. A few of the cottages have phones. This is on purpose. The first public phone booth installed on old Oakland House’s porch still serves guests, now with credit cards. Nearby Blue Hill Public Library has WiFi as does Marlintini's Restaurant in Blue Hill. Cell phones work more or less reliably in some locations on site depending upon your service provider.
This season (2009) select cottages are available on a weekly basis only. Please call for the weekly self-serve housekeeping rates in summer and fall. We'll return calls soon if we are not immediately available.
No pets on premises. All cottages are non-smoking. Smoking permitted on the porches only. Thank-you.
Descriptions of Oakland House's Maine coastal cottages.
Oakland House Cottage rates are on a weekly basis and are not updated on our web site yet. Kindly call. Rates are more like our Fall Season self-serve rates have been in the past. Our new weekly rates do not include food, daily housekeeping service, firewood delivery, or the use of rowboats. You'll leave your cottage as clean as you found it and receive your deposit back within two weeks.
Give us a call. We'll quickly compute the rate for the cottage of your choice during the time you'd like to visit.
