Pirate's Den on the Wharf
Escape to a newly renovated cottage full of unique seaside charm, nestled on a working waterfront in the once active, Sprucehead Quarry. This cottage used to house the miners as they came off the boats to work the quarry. This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat offers a blend of modern comfort and nautical character. Featuring stainless steel appliances, original wood paneling, and warm wood flooring throughout, the cottage invites you to unwind in style. With a king bed and full bed upstairs, plus a cozy pull-out couch in the sunroom, it comfortably accommodates guests. The full bathroom on the second floor has an oversized walk-in shower. The sunroom, with its gas-burning woodstove, is an ideal spot to relax and soak in the tranquil ambiance of the water and nature.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

I had a wonderful stay at this quaint and cozy cottage! It was very clean, bright, and nicely decorated, making it feel comfortable and inviting. We loved being able to see the bay from the cottage—it added such a peaceful touch to our stay. The location was great, just a short drive to Rockland and plenty of restaurants. The hosts were very responsive and made everything easy. Highly recommend!

Reviewer Comments:
One of the cleanest cottages I have ever stayed in. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms so I didn’t have to think of the basics. Comfy beds with nice linens. And the bedrooms were spacious and light. Enough room for two couples or a family with two kids. Located within walking distance of McCloons which has the best lobster and crabmeat rolls in Maine. Great area to walk, bike, canoe or watch a working lobster coops at work.
