2 Bedroom Cottage in New Harbor

The perfect setting for your summer vacation on the Maine coast!
Leave the city behind and step into this one-of-a-kind authentic Maine cottage. On the inside of this cozy cottage, you’ll fall in love with the painted floors, bookshelves, stone fireplace, and original paned windows.
Located near the quaint fishing village of New Harbor, the Laughing Gull Cottage is close to restaurants and gift shops, ice-cream parlors, a general store for grocery shopping, a gas station, historic lighthouse, library, and just down the road from one of the most beautiful beaches in Maine. The cottage itself is located on coveted Pemaquid Trail—a paved, yet private lane for walking, biking, and jogging.
The cottage has two bedrooms: The main bedroom has a queen-sized bed, dresser, and closet. The second bedroom has two twin-sized beds and a dresser. The cottage is also equipped with a living room sofa that can pull out into a full-sized bed. The eat-in kitchen is on the east side of the cottage. A bathroom, complete with shower, is just off the kitchen. Since this is a Maine camp rental, please bring your own towels and linens. Bedding, pillows, comforter. and bed spreads are provided. Minimum stay: 3 nights (during shoulder season); maximum stay is 14 consecutive nights.
The Laughing Gull Cottage was one of the original oceanfront cottages on Pemaquid Trail—a paved yet private lane along the ocean for walking, biking, and jogging! In March of 2020 the cottage was moved across the street (and a bit to the north) to a one-and-a-half acre lot about 500 feet from the coastline. First and foremost, the new location offers an abundance of privacy and wildlife. Although still a Pemaquid Trail address, the long and winding drive takes you well off the hubbub of “The Trail,” but still allows for broad distant views of the ocean from the farmer’s porch, kitchen, and one of the bedrooms. There is access to the ocean and beaches within walking distance of the cottage. The setting is picturesque, open and sunny and surrounded by wildflowers and the Maine woods. In the summer months, the tiny village of New Harbor (minutes away by car or bike) is bustling. It has a general store, post office, family run grocer, restaurants, a gas station, bank, gift shops, ice-cream shop, art galleries, a bakery, fisherman’s warfs and Hardy Boat cruises. The historic Pemaquid Point Light House (a short trip down the peninsula) and Pemaquid Beach (at the beginning of Pemaquid Trail and one of Maine’s prettiest beaches) are perhaps the most visited destinations in the area. Many of the reviews posted are from when the Laughing Gull Cottage was located directly along the ocean.

Summary: The Laughing Gull Cottage was so relaxing, quaint and everything we needed was there. So quiet, and a million dollar view from the front porch. Our daughter loved the small beaches within walking distance. We will definitely be back!

Summary: Great location and once in Pemaquid Comms with the owners was easy. We missed the note on the extra cost for 3rd person, but as our daughter was 17 she qualified as free, but worth noting if you have a 3rd adult. Also linen and towels not supplied which was only on our email the week prior to staying so also worth adding to the information. Great location and beautiful area,so we would definitely stay again!

Summary: We love the look and feel of rustic Maine cottages. This place met all of our expectations. Beautifully maintained. Loved the front porch. Every morning I sat on the porch with my coffee and looked out at the water. The beach is a 10 minute drive away if that. Beautiful beach. A small local grocery store is 10 minutes away in the opposite direction. A couple of nice seafood places are nearby. We love Shaw’s. It was a great vacation. Would love to return next and maybe stay a little longer. Thomas was a great host which made the stay that much better.

Summary: What a great traditional Maine cottage. Just as described, and one of best equipped we've ever stayed at. No need to bring pans, sharp knives, working coffee pot...you know what I mean. The view to the bay is perfect and the privacy unheard of in an ocean view. "Laurie's Picks" were spot on, and you're close enough to town to try some of the restaurants if you feel the need to branch out from the nearby lobster coops -- but who would? The dogs never left the best porch in Maine. Would definitely return.

Summary: This was a very cozy cabin. The porches were a great add on to enjoy. The view of the ocean can be seen from the front porch while rocking. The stone fireplace was very enjoyable. A complimentary fire is laid for you which was very nice. Due to the rainy nights, we purchased wood elsewhere to use. The wood you paid for at the house was pretty damp, and we didn’t want to potentially smoke up the house. There are two beautiful trails to be taken on Pemaquid Trail rd., one to the rocky shore, and another, before the campground, to the far end of Pemaquid beach. Both great finds. Reilly’s, a great store in town, is a great place for sandwiches and drinks. So many hiking trails to choose from. The location is a great place to explore.

Summary: It is a lovely, classic, well cared for Maine cottage. Quiet and tucked back from Pemaquid Trail, a neighborhood of assorted homes and cottages. Host and hostess there for check in and check out, responsive to questions and needs. Pemaquid Beach right around the corner. Quiet and restful, enjoyed the front porch and lawn area.

Summary: Great cottage all solid wood from floor to ceiling (no dry wall) with a stone fireplace and chimney. Located right beside a beautiful spruce dense natural forest. Perfect walking deadend road winding along the side of John's Bay. Terrific eating places in the neighborhood. New Harbor, a small working harbor with a lob and fish landing along with it's super food and service in reztaurant. A cottege to revisit again.
