Across the road from Pemaquid Beach — 2-bedroom seasonal family cottage

A two-bedroom seasonal cottage next door to Laughton House, in Pemaquid Village on Maine`s midcoast — across the road from Pemaquid Beach State Park. Built for small families of 3-4 or two couples who want a real cottage (not a hotel room) with their own kitchen and walkable access to the beach.

Two bedrooms (one queen, one with two twin beds), one full bathroom with tub and shower. A compact full kitchen with oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker, kettle, toaster, and basic cookware. Comfortable living area with a Smart TV. Dining table for four. Heater and fan provided.

Outside: a private area with seating, picnic table, garden chairs, and a propane grill. The cottage is uninsulated and seasonal — open roughly April through October.

ADDITIONAL INFO
The cottage is uninsulated and seasonal — heaters and fans only, no central HVAC, no in-cottage laundry. The whole property runs on a shared well; please conserve water in late summer. We are not a pet-friendly property (ADA service animals welcome with advance notice — please reach out before booking).

PARKING

- The fire extinguisher is in the entry hallway.

HEATING AND COOLING

WATER AND SEPTIC
