Cushing Cottage | Peaceful, cozy one-bedroom waterfront carriage house steps from our private cove

1 Bedroom Cottage in Cushing

The Fish House built in 2009, is an architect designed, waterfront carriage house in mid-coast Maine, an hour and a half north of Portland. We have easy access to much of the state and are only 9 miles from Rockland, with it's award-winning restaurants, museums and the sightseeing opportunities nearby. Camden and it's treasures are just a 15 minute ride beyond Rockland. Our property is part of a private homeowners association with tennis courts, deep-water dock and miles of safe gravel roads and hiking trails, all available to residents and guests. There is only one house barely visible from ours and nature abounds with a variety of wildlife including bald eagles, great blue herons, egrets, osprey, foxes and seals. Each summer we have seals playing for several weeks just off our property! We are fortunate to have 3 1/2 acres of fir and spruce trees, as well as blueberry, vegetable and flowering gardens. Being sited next to a conservation area on one side, with 350 feet of our own shorefront on two sides, we feel like we live in paradise - and we welcome you to join us!
From the little covered patio, the Fish House opens to an inviting entryway, which leads to a flight of stairs and the main living space. Designed for two adults to spend weeks at a time, you will be greeted by a wall of windows overlooking much of the property, Horn Barn Cove and Muscongus Bay just beyond. There is a separate, cozy bedroom with large closets and storage, a full bathroom with gleaming white tub and luxury bed and bath linens. With comfortable, high-end furniture our guests can sit and relax, prepare a meal in the well-equipped kitchen and dine indoors - or outside at the picnic table. Our shorefront is a short walk through our yard and down a little path to the granite-lined coast where you can wade and look for treasures or just sit, relax and listen to the water lap against the rocks. For swimming and kayaking, our association dock with kayak ramp is just at the end of the street. There are miles of safe roads on which to bike, both in our immediate area and throughout the mid coast. For a real treat, upon return from your adventures you can make use of our heated, outdoor shower!
Whether you’re looking for total peace and quiet or prefer an active vacation, there are lots of options in our area. While some of our guests have come and never left the property for days at a time, Rockland and Camden are just 9 and 18 miles away respectively. Both have supermarkets, specialty food stores and the big box options just ten minutes away is the well-stocked, old-school market. Ten minutes away is a lobster pound, where you can purchase lobsters fresh caught that day and there are numerous casual seafood restaurants nearby. This area is also home to several of the highest ranked restaurants in the Northeast. Numerous other notable attractions include the well-known Farnsworth Art Museum, the Olsen House depicted in one of Andrew Wyeth’s most famous paintings and the breathtaking views from the top of Mr. Battie in Camden. To the north, Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor can be a day trip adventure. From Portland, with its vibrant restaurant and arts scene, numerous other scenic coastal towns are fun to explore. We keep an updated collection of various activities and day excursions and encourage our guests to add to it.
Maine is known for the quality of light here, which affords unbelievable sunsets... and the lack of ambient light in this area yields a night sky with stars and planets so brightly visible that the night sky, alone, is worth the trip. Mid- coast Maine has long been home to – or a destination for - artists and writers for many decades and the scenery is truly inspirational. Once we experienced the coast of Maine, we knew this area is special and all of our guests have agreed. Please feel free to contact us for additional information...

Summary: My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the carriage house! It was so quiet and peaceful, immaculate, and beautifully appointed with craftsman touches. The quiet cove with its Adirondack chairs was a wonderful place to sit with coffee. As a photographer, I found lovely natural subjects all around me - even a fox who posed for me! The location was a good base from which to explore the Central Coast, and we even made a trip up to Acadia from there. We so enjoyed talking with the wonderful hosts, Bill and Chris, who were super friendly and helpful, but not obtrusive. I would 100% recommend staying at this beautiful property, especially for couples, writers, or artists.

Summary: Quick trip to celebrate husbands 50th. Hosts were great--this is a guest house above their garage so they were on site to greet. Great location 20-40 min to several port towns with restaurants and shops.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay in Maine. We've vacationed in Maine several times and this, by far, was the best. Quiet and peaceful and a wonderful view of the water. The hosts were so welcoming, great to meet and so helpful with places to go. The apartment on the second floor was beautiful and had all the amenities that we wanted and needed. There were windows all around the apartment to be able to see the woods and the water. One day we even saw wild turkeys with chicks in the yard. No A/C, but with the windows open there were pleasant breezes to keep cool. Rockland was only about 30 minutes away with very nice restaurants, museum, shops and pier for a trip on a schooner. Camden, which is also very nice, was only about 15 minutes further. There were also restaurants in the country that offered top-notch dining. And don't forget the lobster shack eating. We stayed several weeks so we took washing to a place in Rockland and picked it up the next day. The kitchen also let us prepare our own meals when we wanted to do our own cooking. We are already trying to plan a return visit in the future.

Summary: The property is one of the best we have stayed in. It’s a private location with the water a short walk away. When you get to the water there a a couple of Adirondack chairs for the guests. We spend some delightful afternoons with our tea, our books and the wonderful views. There was a seal one day, an eagle another and lots of ducks. Very quiet and serene.

Summary: Chis and Bill’s Fish House is a perfect place for a ‘get away from it all in luxury’ vacation. It is located on a quiet cove where we watched the shorebirds fish and the tide ebb and flow. The apartment is immaculate and had everything we needed and nothing we didn’t. Chris is very responsive to any questions and is close to hand. It is a beautiful property and we hope to be back.

Summary: We enjoyed every aspect of the Fish House--the setting, the accommodations, the association dock, kayaking adventures, hiking, the ability to conveniently explore Maine's mid-coast region, and most notably, the graciousness of our hosts. Chris was incredible and made the experience even better with her warm and welcoming approach. The Fish House is truly a gem and we are looking forward to returning. Thank you!
