Cozy and charming coastal retreat

Located in Phippsburg’s charming West Point, this cottage, affectionately known as The Schoolhouse, is a beautifully restored historic building with a rich past. Once a cherished schoolhouse and later a renowned boathouse, this distinctive property now blends its storied heritage with artistic charm, inviting design, and stunning light-filled rooms. Its thoughtfully curated interior features soaring ceilings, warm wood accents, and stylish yet comfortable furnishings that create a space perfect for relaxation and reflection.

Enjoy morning coffee outside or on the upstairs balcony overlooking the wooded forest and listen to the birds. Our back patio with a firepit is the perfect setting to enjoy evening cocktails and gaze at the star-filled sky.

The open kitchen is stocked with all the essential appliances for bakers, chefs, and coffee lovers. We have plenty of toys, books, and games for kids and adults alike, including a game room with a foosball table and a chalkboard wall to keep the spirit of the schoolhouse alive!

Beyond its walls, the area invites exploration and adventure. Hike through nearby trails, discover the serene coastline of The Basin Preserve, or visit Wallace Circle — a working fishing village where you can buy fresh lobster or enjoy oysters harvested straight from the waters. For an unforgettable evening, take a sunset cruise to explore historic islands like Malaga Island, rich with stories of the past.

Nearby beaches such as Popham Beach (free pass to Popham comes with rental) and Head Beach are always a favorite and provide pristine sands, coastal trails, and endless views of the Atlantic. Whether you're drawn to its history, artistic ambiance, or the natural beauty that surrounds it, The Schoolhouse offers a memorable escape where Maine’s coastal charm comes to life.
