Mac Mahan Cottage | Coastal Island Retreat - Privacy and Convenience. Boat rental available.

3 Bedroom Cottage in Mac Mahan, Georgetown

Bird's Nest sits high on a secluded ledge immediately on the rocky shore of the mouth of the Sheepscot River. Fall is the best time of year here, with crisp mornings, burning afternoons, and cozy evenings by the fire.
This house boasts spectacular views of the Sheepscot River and out to sea. With 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, 2 family areas, screened in breezeway/breakfast area, full kitchen and expansive outdoor space, this house can fit 6. Also, fireplace and new W/D. Includes dock. Ferry service on lobster boat available 3 times daily in July and August. Immediate access to rocky point and Cory Cove Beach.
There is a parking lot to leave your car. It costs $5/night, on honor system, payable at the lodge/candy store/post office on the island. You can drive right to the dock, unload, then backtrack about 100 yards to the parking lot to park. The ferry takes you across the Little Sheepscot River to the public float. From there, it is a 10 minute golf cart ride across the island to the house, which looks out across the Big Sheepscot River to the sea. Also, rent a whaler for the week and dock it near the house and have your own transportation to, from and around the island. Walking is very popular on the island. Most houses are on just the southernmost end of the island, leaving the majority of the island beautifully wooded, with well-kept paths for wandering.
15' or 19' boat rental by day or week makes this unique and gorgeous spot accessible to all, through mid-October.

Summary: Staying at Bird's Nest is like stepping back in time 50 years to a simpler life. Beautiful views from almost every window and wonderful island trails to explore. We loved watching the lobster boats every morning as well as the seals playing in the river. This is a wonderful place to enjoy time with family and relax in peaceful quiet.

Summary: We had a great vacation at this place! The rustic cottage served as a perfect home-base for lots of walks and fun on the water, and the views were beautiful. Seeing/hearing porpoises and seals from the living room and deck was a unique treat. The paths on the island are speckled with mica and while we were there were lined with fascinating looking mushrooms. Our family ended up walking through the woods for many hours a day exploring the island, and had a great time doing it. The island has an interesting history and there is no shortage of surprises to be discovered while exploring. I would recommend this cottage and Macmahan in general to anyone looking to really get away from the real world for a while.

Summary: "Birdsnest" is a big, beautiful house right on the water. It's clean and comfortable, but keeps a real vacation-house feel. It's a great place to walk, kayak, or just do nothing for a while. The air smells good. We spent many hours just sitting and watching the clouds, the lobster boats, and the stars at night, on some folding outdoor recliners. We saw porpoises most evenings. If your kids get tired of playing cards, MacMahon is a safe place to let them roam free--nice people, no cars. It is quite isolated, and some (especially some kids) might find it boring, though that wasn't a problem for us. Getting yourself and your stuff on and off the island is a bit of an operation, so make your grocery list carefully and don't plan on a lot of side trips. Owner Elizabeth responded quickly to emails and took good care of us.
