Minutes walk to Perkins Cove, Authentic Maine Cottage Nestled in the Woods

The moment you turn onto the private road that leads to this authentic Maine cottage, you will feel as though you have stepped back in time. This cottage was built by the owners great-great grandfather in 1920 and the bones have stayed the same since then. When you enter into the cottage, you will feel the stress of today start to slip away and a slower pace take hold. The exposed beams and beadboard walls are remnants of architecture design you don't find anymore and hold a history of summers past.
This cottage sleeps up to eight, with one full bath and one half bath.

The first floor has one bedroom with a double bed, as well as a sofa bed in the living area. The master bedroom on the second floor has amazing woodwork on the ceiling and walls and has a comfortable king size bed. Also on the second floor is a bedroom with two twin beds and a window that overlooks the pond out back. All bedrooms have window air conditioning units to keep you comfortable during the summer months.

In the main living room, you will find the original hardwood floors and fireplace (currently not in working order) that enhance the beauty of this old cottage. A large, floor-to-ceiling window allows for great, natural light in the main living area. Out the door from the living area, is a large, wraparound porch with a stunning view of Perkins Cove and the ocean. There is a propane grill and plenty of parking for three cars. Pets are considered on an individual basis.

We live on the property and are available to answer questions and offer help whenever it is needed. We have a young son and daughter who are always excited to help us greet new guests and will also share their favorite spots to visit in Ogunquit.

My husband's family has been in this area since the 1630's, and therefore has a rich history in Ogunquit and York. His great-great-grandfather, Henry Weare built the Hillcrest which is adjacent to the property. When groups coming up from Philadelphia thought they didn't have enough room in the Hillcrest, he built the cottage along with two other houses for families to stay.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Return to 'The Bindery'

For the third year our family spent a relaxing week in Ogunquit as guests of Tessa and John at their property, ' The Bindery'. This home combines rustic charm with a great location steps away from Perkins Cove and the Marginal Way. The breezy porch with ocean views is worth the trip on its own. As always Tessa and John are gracious hosts, and we certainly look forward to a return trip in the future. Bob and Kim

The location is amazing right across the street and a short stroll to the foot bridge to Perkins Cove where we ate many meals since it was close and easy. Also, loved the access to the Marginal Way. We spent many hours sitting on the deck looking out to the sea. Perfect place for family to come and go from. Great vacation. Hosts were very attentive.

Great House

The house was located on a private road at the end of the street with a great view of Perkins Cove. Nice rustic cottage with high wood ceilings and large rooms. Stayed with my son and daughter for the week we all had a great time. Tessa was a very gracious host. Highly recommend it.

Nothing Short of Perfect

I can't say enough about John and Tessa - incredible people and wonderful hosts. They are right on the property but you'd never know they are there unless you need something and they respond right away. The cabin is rustic - which we love - but so so cozy. Every amenity you could want has been thought of. It is a 5 minute walk to Perkins Cove and the area is filled with activities from shopping, beaching it, jet skiing and sailing - we did them all. Great family get away with room for all! So blessed to have found this wonderful getaway and incredible hosts!

Authentic Maine Cottage Simply Amazing

What a wonder space and location. Hosts were so friendly and supportive. We had a wonderful week: walking to the cove for dinner, ice cream, music, etc., morning coffee on the screen porch with views of the ocean off in the distance, beach days at nearby beaches and long walks down marginal way. Just the ideal place for a family beach vacation.

Cool cottage near Perkins Cove

Great old school Maine cottage in a fantastic location. Wonderful hosts, available but never in the way. Nice screened porch view of Perkin’s Cove. AC in bedrooms, but it can get hot midday. Especially in the main first floor area which is so fun to hang out in. Wonderful spot!

Lovely relaxing retreat

My son walked in the door and went WOW, I want to live here!...and we did for a week! I loved the vintage charm of the 1920's space, the big open room, the location, and the thoughtful touches that the owners did; lights were on when we came in (and so were air conditioners!) and we enjoyed the treats they left for us. The walk to Perkins Cove was literally five minutes and yet we were away from any real noise. We loved the seclusion of the pine grove. My morning ritual was to walk out on the screen porch and check the ocean view to see what the day would be like. We had everything we needed to cook, and outdoor grill, and there were beach chairs and towels available to take to the beach and the washing machine/dryer was a great perk. Everyone loved staying here! I would definitely rent again, and in fact am thinking about a fall getaway. Highly recommend. The hosts were helpful, available and very respectful of our privacy. Five stars!

Such a relaxing spot!

Came to town for a family gathering - 40+ from coast to coast. Loved coming back after our nightly gatherings and relaxing - LOL. The last evening everyone came out for a Happy Hour/Trivia night. The main room is so spacious and holds so much character - it was an ideal spot. Afterwards, we walked across the bridge to Perkins Cove to enjoy the many dinner options. Communication was good, place was clean and comfortable. The host, and family, were friendly and helpful. I would love to return!

Rustic Retreat at Perkins Cove

Had a great week with the whole family in Ogunquit. Having previously stayed closer to town in prior years, was not sure how being closer to Perkins Cove would turn out. Turned out great. Really enjoyed the proximity to Perkins Cove and Marginal Way. Plenty of dining and shopping options and an easy walk to downtown Ogunquit. The home provides both rustic charm and location to Ogunquit attractions. Found the home exactly as described and better. Really enjoyed views from the screen porch and the cooling breeze. Tessa and John are excellent hosts. We definetely recommend.

Charming summer cottage nestled in trees above Perkins Cove

This is exactly what we hoped it would be -- a rustic summer cottage with all the basics, including an old-fashioned kitchen with microwave and coffee machine, fireplace for cool evenings, laundry machines, wireless, and TV (if that's your thing). I preferred reading on the porch. The cottage has a peaceful wooded feel, even though it is just steps away from the cove and the art museum. The owners have deep roots in the town, and they are very attentive without being at all intrusive.

Great experience. Perfect location.

My husband and I had a great 2.5 week stay at the cottage. My adult children joined us for a week and there was so much room for all of us. More than enough space for 6 adults! This is a rustic old home but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The WiFi was strong and I had no problem working when I needed to. John and Tessa (and their 2 beautiful kids) live on the property and are the nicest and most helpful hosts you could have. They’re available if you need them but give you total privacy also. They will gladly share the history of the house and John’s family in the area which added a lot of interest to our experience there. They are generous hosts who care that you enjoy your stay in Ogunquit. Being able to walk to Perkins Cove in just a few minutes for morning coffee or dinner or to walk the Marginal Way was a highlight of our trip! We definitely recommend John and Tessa’s place!

Perfect Maine vacation spot

From check in to check out (which were easy and fast) we had the best week! Our home away from home had plenty of space for 5 adults and 2 5 year olds! The common area had enough space for my neices to play and color when we were just hanging out but also enough space for the adults to play games or just relax as well. You cannot beat the proximity to Perkins Cove, the Marginal Way and even to the restaurants and shops in Ogunquit. All within reasonable walking distance. The hostess and her family were right next door if we needed anything but the house had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend!

Rustic Charm Close to Everything

This house is just as listed. Rustic charm, a 5 minute walk from Perkins Cove. Our hosts were wonderful and so nice. The house is large and we stayed very comfortably with our 3 teenagers. The house is rustic and not fancy but perfect for a week of sand and sun. The new washer and dryer were a huge plus for us with beach towels to wash. The secluded spot was perfect yet we were a 5 minute walk from the cove and the marginal way and drove into the beach part of Ogunquit daily and found easy parking.
