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.
Step outside onto multiple decks and a balcony, where you can bask in sunshine, listen to the sounds of the sea, and watch the world go by. The cottage's location adds a fascinating historical touch, as it sits on land that was once the Sprucehead Quarry, which provided stone used in iconic landmarks like Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, the Auditorium Building in Chicago, and the post office in Bar Harbor. With so much rich history surrounding you, combined with modern comforts and views, this charming cottage offers an unforgettable getaway.
Kayaks can be launched down the road, just a short drive from the cottage, tide dependent. Bring your bikes, water crafts, walking shoes, and nature-watching eyes.
Located just behind Atwood Lobster Co., which is a working waterfront wharf and seafood distributor. There can be some working trucks and vehicles. Only a stone’s throw from the award-winning, world famous, McLoon’s Lobster Shack, this charming cottage offers a fun and cozy coastal retreat. Enjoy fresh lobster right at your doorstep, or take a scenic 10-minute drive to Rockland, a vibrant seaside town known for its thriving arts scene and rich maritime history. In Rockland, explore the Farnsworth Art Museum, which showcases American art, or visit the Maine Lighthouse Museum for a glimpse into the state's storied past. The town also hosts a variety of exciting festivals throughout the year, including the Maine Lobster Festival and the Rockland Blues Festival.
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.
