Cushing House | Modern Oceanfront Cabin on Historic Bird Point

4 Bedroom House in Cushing

This delightful home was built in 2013 by owners/ architects on land that has been in their family for over 100 years. Inspired by the beauty and simplicity of Scandanavian design and the natural beauty of the Maine coast, the owners have created four separate structures that are a mix of old and new.
The main house (860 square feet) serves as the hub and center for gatherings and activities. It has the master bedroom, full bath, small office space and an open living/dining/ kitchen area. Off the kitchen is a pantry/laundry room as well as a mud room.
The full season Main house was designed to fully engage with the outside. A large deck provides for three different sitting areas all with wonderful views to the St. George River, magnificent sunrises and sunsets . The main sitting area is covered with a pentawing and seats 8 comfortably.
The “Annex” is connected to the main house by a large deck. As you enter the Annex, there is a full bath on your left and a queen bedroom to your right. At the end of the hallway there is a bunk room that can sleep 6 (2 single upper beds with 2 doubles below). Both the bunk room and queen room lead out on to a shared deck, with views to the water.
A flight of stairs down from the main house sitting deck leads to the “Bathhouse”. Originally, this small building was located at Olson House where Christina (of “Christina’s World”) lived with her brother, Alvaro. Alvaro brought the small building down to Bird Point where it was put at the head of Kissing Cove as a bath house in the early 19oo’s. Since then, the building has been moved three more times to its final location where it is today.
This Fall, the bath house was converted to a private office space for the owners.
A grassy path leads down close to the water where one will find “Marianna’s Cabin”. This sweet seasonal cabin sleeps two. There is a very small sitting area and kitchen counter where simple meals can be prepared. The cabin has a compost toilet (Separette) and a small deck where we hope to install an outside shower in the future.
Fifteen feet away from Marianna’s cabin and down a small slope is a private crushed shell sandy beach, a rarity on the coast of Maine! The beach is boredered by wonderful flat granite rocks where the often six foot tides come and go bringing sea treasures every day. The beach is totally private and a fantastic place to swim, play, relax, kayak and just hang out.
A wooded path along the water’s edge leads to “Kissing Cove”. It was once believed that long ago a pirate sought quiet shelter in the cove and that he might have buried his treasure along the banks.
Because of the shape and location of the cove, a lot of flotsam gets caught here and builds up over the seasons. At very low tide you can walk along the water’s edge from Marianna’s Beach to Kissing Cove to scout out the treasures that have been brought in with the tide. But, wear sturdy safe shoes!

Summary: Everything about the house and property were wonderful — even bigger and better than the photos. The location is magical and breathtaking. The house and its many features are stylish and comfortable. Communication with the hosts was very easy and friendly. We simply loved our two weeks and hope to return!

Summary: The property itself is absolutely beautiful...so Maine. The water, the landscaping, a little garden, grassy area for yard games, and all just a short walk up the road to the historic and beautiful Olsen House property (where Andrew Wyeth spent summers and is buried). It felt like our own little paradise. We even got fresh lobster off the boat at Bird Point. The main house and cabins were also fabulous. So clean and organized with high quality furnishings and decor. Not a typical rental property! We took care to respect it all so others could enjoy it after us. The only drawback was that the Bath House roof was moist and it was therefore musty inside. With a fan and some sunny days, it got slightly better through the week, and one heavy sleeper teen from our group tolerated it, but It could be a hang up for others. All in all, absolutely amazing!

Summary: Fabulous property in stunning setting. We were 8 adults so it was marvellous to have the option of so much space to spread out and then the gorgeous main house to eat and sit together. Just about anything you need is already there. The scenery and tranquility was amazing for us city dwellers. Highly recommended and would love to return. The owners were responsive and very helpful.

Summary: We were 4 adults and 3 small children sharing Joan and Bill’s gorgeous property for a week in August. We were very comfortable using only the main house and the annex and honestly, felt greedy not sharing this fantastic home with others! So much care was taken in every detail it shows how much Joan and Bill really love this home Every morning we woke to the sound of lobster boats going by on the St. George river and spent our evenings on the beach toasting marshmallows at the bonfire on the beach. We walked to the Olson house and enjoyed its beautiful grounds. The kids spent hours running around in the yard, collecting shells on the shore and building fairy houses. It’s a very quiet secluded area (which we LOVED) with Midcoast Maine’s busier charming towns within a 30-40 minute drive. There’s also an excellent playground 10 minutes away that our 5 year olds had a blast playing at. We normally avoid screen time on vacation but the projector and big screen were a special treat for the kids AND grownups! They have tons of dvds to choose from. We had minimal issues but if anything came up Joan was just a text or call away and quick to respond. We are really hoping we have the opportunity to go back again and again. Thank you Joan and Bill!

Summary: Joan and Bill's house was exactly what my family and I were looking for and provided the perfect spot for our family vacation. We were a total of 9 adults and 3 small children altogether and the property allowed both opportunities for everyone to spend time together as well as to spread out when needed. This made it easy for the adults to spend time together while the young children napped or were sleeping, for example. In addition to the layout working well for our group, we loved the outdoor space at this house. We brought a couple of kayaks and paddle boards and had a blast both in the water and just hanging out on the beach. The porch was the perfect spot for a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening and we all enjoyed sitting outside and watching the activity of the lobster boats throughout the day. Joan and Bill's house was also ideally located for those who are looking for privacy but also want the convenience of being able to get to a major town (such as Rockland) in 30 minutes or less. You can purchase lobsters at the dock about a mile from the house, pick blueberries in a sizable field a short walk from the house, and take a short drive to Langlais Sculpture Preserve, which features the work of Maine artist Bernard Langlais. Joan and Bill left a binder filled with great recommendations of other activities in the area and were available by phone if needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at Joan and Bill's beautiful house and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing stay on the Maine coast!
