The Shakespeare Cottage By The Sea

Welcome to the Shakespeare Cabin! tucked away on the property of the historically designated first house in Shelburne, The Shakespeare House (1783) in Shelburne’s Historic Waterfront District. This charming guest house offers peek-a-boo views of one of the deepest bays in the world and is ideal for couples or individuals looking for a relaxing getaway in an historic town. You'll enjoy a balcony and beautifully appointed accommodations beneath the property’s massive trees overlooking The Secret Park.

The Space
The house has two floors. The first floor has a complete kitchen and bathroom with shower, plus a little dining area. There is a heat pump on this floor for heating and cooling. Plus there are four windows that open for ocean breezes.

The second floor has a cathedral ceiling, bed area and small sitting area with a loveseat.
There is a large new TV on a swing arm so you can watch it in bed if you choose. There is access to a little deck, plus a small closet. There are three windows (that open) on this floor for feeling the breezes.

This is a standalone guest house on the property of the owner's house overlooking a park with peekaboo views of the harbour/bay in the historic district of Shelburne.
