Welcome to Ole Greeley Cottage, a charming, classic Maine cottage with stunning ocean views over Merriconeag Sound. You'll love waking up to the sights and sounds of the ocean, exploring Harpswell and the surrounding towns and retreating to the cottage to catch the gorgeous Bailey Island sunset paint the sky with red, orange and purple from the wrap-around covered porch. Don't miss the opportunity to dine al fresco on the water's edge at the outdoor picnic table that seats 8, and a two person bistro set.
Inside the cottage you'll find an open concept kitchen, living, and dining area with many windows and a sliding glass door opening to the ocean and covered porch. The kitchen offers a farmhouse sink, large retro refrigerator, gas range, microwave and all the cooking/dining ware needed to prepare and enjoy a delicious homecooked meal. The dining table seats 4-6 and the living room offers a large leather sofa and two wicker chairs, the perfect spot to read a book, play a game, or delight in conversation with friends. The owners have shared with guests a broad collection of books, puzzles, and board games, inviting all to relax and enjoy the slow-pace of island life.
Located on Garrison Cove Road on Bailey Island, guests will love the ability to walk to Cook's Lobster & Ale House just down the road, as well as Cook's Wharf offering lobster fresh off the boat. Step off the dock onto the Schooner Alert for a sunset cruise around the islands or watch the lobstermen and sailboats cruise by from the porch. The cottage is also just a short walk/drive away from Cedar Beach, The Bailey Island General Store, Fishnet Cafe, Land's End Gift Shop, Sundrenched restaurant, Historic Cribstone Bridge, Salt Cod Cafe, H2Outfitters for kayak rentals/tours, and so much more!
Come to Ole Greeley Cottage and enjoy all Bailey Island and Harpswell have to offer. We're sure it will beckon you back for years to come!
Ole Greeley Cottage is pet-friendly (2 maximum, well behaved), a non-refundable pet fee does apply.
Please note - Although recently renovated/updated, the cottage was originally built in the early 1900's and the interior walls dividing the bedrooms are thin/not insulated, allowing sound to travel more easily than a modern home. Also, the primary bedroom has a custom headboard that is open to the stairs to the first floor. We hope this information is helpful as you prepare for your stay at this charming cottage!
**Important Information Regarding Water Usage**
Due to the proximity to the beautiful, rocky coast, the water supply for the cottage is a water storage tank rather than a traditional well. Water is delivered to the property on a regular basis, but guests should be particularly aware of their water consumption and make every effort to conserve this precious resource. While you may use the water comfortably, we ask that you please not run water unnecessarily (i.e. keeping showers brief, turning water off while brushing teeth, not running water constantly while doing dishes, etc.).
