Waterfront home on St. George River with private beach & deck - near festivals

Rising Tide Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Offering a stunning location on the broad St. George River just before it meets the open ocean, this waterfront cottage has everything you need for a summer in Midcoast Maine. Enjoy a private beach that's perfect for kayaking, a wonderful deck, and an enviable location near Maine's most famous summer festivals.

The home's setting and exterior provide a bit of classic character, while the cottage interior is all brand new. After a day spent at the Maine Lobster Festival or the North Atlantic Blues Festival in nearby Rockland, you'll be greeted back at home by a living space lined with picture windows framing the water outside.

In the mornings, prepare breakfast in the well-equipped kitchen, sit down to eat at the circular dining table, and follow the path down to the beach to launch your kayak. The afternoons and evenings are best spent soaking up the scene from the deck or the yard, barbecuing fresh seafood on the gas grill, and watching movies on the living room or bedroom TV (with cable and streaming capability). A washer/dryer and high-speed WiFi are provided as well.

Waterfront getaway

Great cottage, fun 60s vibe. Kitchen very well equipped and bed linens high level. View is as advertised. Spectacular. Even at low tide you see the deep river channel in the distance. Beach is wonderful for swimming during the 4 or 5 hours around high tide. Water is not too cold. There is a beautiful preserve with hiking trails just down the road. Even has a collection of large wood sculptures.Only drawback is the house is a little far from shopping and restaurants.

Relaxing with outstanding views!

Very charming little cottage overlooking the St. George river. Location, location, location - far enough away to be super quiet yet close to Thomaston, Rockland, and several little fishing communities. Great deck overlooking the tidal river and when you sit inside, you get nearly the same amazing view. Spent hours on the deck each day and just inside the living room when the weather wasn't as cooperative. It is a place we will return to as you cannot beat the peacefulness and the proximity to lobster shacks, groceries, little shops, etc. is wonderful. I'd recommend checking out the Wallace's Lobster by the Friendship Co-Op, the Gnome Lady near Spruce Head Island, and McLoon's Lobster Shack on Spruce Head Island.
Walking up to the cottage. The deck and living room are to the back - overlooking the water.
Living room area and deck just outside - facing the water.
The rock beach at low tide, immediately below the cottage.

Getaway

Nice getaway to Maine. This is a sweet little cabin. We enjoyed our time there. It was quiet and no one bothered us. We had a lovely view of the water.

Wonderful spot

Cottage even nicer than pictured and view from the spot is wonderful. You can sit on the lawn, porch or inside and see the river. Very private and quiet. We rented a kayak from MidCoast kayak that was delivered for the week and kayaked every morning and late afternoon(based on tides of course). Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Would stay again.

Total Serenity

What a perfect little cottage. Everything is fresh, newly remodeled, well appointed and tastefully decorated. The view is sublime, on a perfect quiet cove, and one can enjoy the view from just about everywhere: the yard, dining table, deck or living area. We spent hours just enjoying our books and podcasts, with a background of crickets and seagulls, a perfect way to enjoy Maine in summer. The cottage also served is quite well, when we invited a few local family members over for a lobster dinner and fire in the fire pit. We had a hard time leaving and would definitely come back.

Newly renovated and very cozy, private cottage on the water

Nice private setting right on the water. Everything is brand new and well done. Able to swim and kayak right off the private beach. As advertised and we highly recommend it - will stay there again.
