HONEYMOON COTTAGES, FAMILY GATHERINGS
MAINE COAST VACATION COTTAGES AND CABINS.
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 10 family-sized cottages scattered along the shorefront or nestled amongst the trees. Cottages have from one to two bedrooms and come with simple, rustic, yet sophisticated comforts. They have spacious living rooms and most have real wood-burning fireplaces and hide-a-bed couches that can sleep another person or two. 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. It's hard for guests to decide which is their favorite.
  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. 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. Your own modern "box" internet receiver might work in certain locations. Cell phones work more or less reliably in some locations on site depending upon your service provider. We will be subscribing to a WiFi type service in 2012 which will provide some connectivity on site, but not at "city" speeds.
For the up and coming season (2012) cottages are available on a 7-day rental basis. Please call for the 7-day self-serve housekeeping rates. 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 7-day basis.
NOTE: The restaurant is no longer open. The cottages are clean and all made up but are self-serve after your arrival, like a rental home might be. We do not include daily housekeeping, firewood delivery, use of rowboats, or luggage handling assistance. There is a dock but moorings are not available. You'll leave your cottage as clean as you found it and receive your deposit of $200 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. Atypical short term stays (if available) will be charged a premium rate not listed on our rate schedule.
