Take a break and unwind at this peaceful oasis. The Narramissic Riverside Cottage at Narramissic Manor in Bucksport Maine.

Just steps from the Narramissic River this rustic 2 bedroom cottage offers many creature comforts from home while being steeped in the Maine outdoors.

The Space

Cozy riverside cottage with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Full indoor kitchen with refrigerator, stove, oven, and coffee maker.

Guest Access

Guests will have access to the cottage, backyard, and Narramissic River. The river is clear and swimmable but the entrance is natural and muddy/mucky (not sand) excellent for hand launching kayaks or small boats.

Notes

The cottage is at the end of a private .6 mile farm road. This is a narrow, in some spots bumpy dirt road. During heavy rain there's a few bits of road that can forms puddles that must be driven through. A high clearance or 4x4 vehicle is reccomended all year but required during mud season. There is a steep hill down to the cottage, with a wide trench to the side for heavy washouts. Max speed of 10MPH  we have kids on bikes or picking berries alongside the road and lots of wildlife crossing... turtles, quail, pheasant, turkeys, deer, chickens, ducks, foxes, rabbits just to name a few. 

Access to the river for guests of the Manor house is at the end of the dirt road next to the cottage.

Hello we are Wallace and Tara. We currently live in the Maine where we are building our dream homestead in the Downeast. We're new to PLU but long time experienced hosts with our family business DownEast Vacation Homes. We both grew up on Long Island, NY my husband was raised in his grandmother's BNB and I grew up in the back of restaurants, eventually graduating to managing boutique hotels. When we met he was a live in estate manager and I was managing a hotel and we dreamed of one day working for ourselves. We set a 5 year goal and somehow the stars aligned and we purchase the first home in our collection that year. We started the business while working remotely, hoping to move closer to focus on the personal touch we wanted to bring to our business. In just a year the opportunity arose to purchase an iconic motel in Maine it was a true fixer upper but if gave us the push to leave our FT jobs and pursue our dreams together. With a lot of hard work and all the struggles and sacrifice that go into making a business flourish we were able to restore it to the popular destination to what it once was. We ended up selling the motel when another great opportunity knocked to purchase what became, The Narramissic Manor, the most gorgeous piece of land and the spot for our forever home. We have a few houses in Maine that we do rent seasonally but are happy to share when available. Feel free to reach out and chat and let's see if we can make an exchange.
