3 Bedroom Cottage in Christmas Cove, South Bristol

This South Bristol 19th c. Cape in picturesque Christmas Cove on Rutherford Island has new amenities yet retains its charm as a shipbuilder's home.
The home has been remodeled and updated with a large eat-in gourmet kitchen and tastefully decorated with local antiques and artwork. Honed black marble countertops, kitchen island with seating for 5, top brand appliances including KitchenAid and Thermador gas burners, Damariscotta Pottery tile work, and well-stocked kitchen make for a wonderful retreat. New England charm abounds in this well-appointed cottage with top-grade bedding, down pillows and comforters and new mattresses. Outdoor living is equally inviting with a covered front porch, fire pit, and large outdoor screened-in porch. The cottage is surrounded by gardens and lawn with woods on three sides.
In addition to the full bathroom and two half bathrooms, there's an outdoor shower with hot/cold water. High-speed internet access is available.
Christmas Cove is well known as one of Maine’s prettiest harbors. The destination of many yachtsmen, the island is peaceful and serene. It's easily accessible over a swing bridge from the working harbor village of South Bristol.
The Coveside Bar & Restaurant is just down the street and serves lunch and dinner. They also have a lively and fun bar with live music on weekends during the summer months. Access to dingy docks and mooring rentals are available at the Coveside Marina. Not far is South Bristol, a historic working fishing village that offers limited additional dining and grocery shopping options.
It is a smallish island with summer homes and year-round residents (maybe 100). In the summer months, there are many families with their children. While the area feels remote and peaceful, in many ways it has all the modern-day comforts.
So. Bristol is an active fishing village with commercial lobster and fishing boats plus two small markets and delis.
An enjoyable outing is a drive to Pemaquid Point and also the harbor (about 20 -30 minutes drive) for touring of the historic lighthouse and old fort, antique and art stores, and additional seaside restaurants. There's a very nice sandy beach there, as well. It's also close to where you can catch the ferry for a day on Monhegan Island, an absolute must if you have the time.
The closest town is Damariscotta. It's about 15-minute drive away with a couple grocery stores, bookstore, restaurants, antique shops, and art galleries and fun shopping. A great stop on the way is Walpole Barn for tasteful house gifts, oysters, and wine. They host fun wine tastings on the weekends.

Summary: Quaint cottage just off Christmas Cove on Middle Road on Rutherford Island. The bedrooms (all upstairs) are small but comfortable. There is only one full bath, but it was fine for four adults. Two of the bedrooms connect, so it is cozy but worked well for us. Nice back porch and screened porch. Well stocked kitchen. Very close to Coveside restaurant and a nice walk to Kneaded Provisions (local bakery). We had a splendid time!

Summary: I can't say enough about how incredible this part of Maine is and how peaceful this particular place is. If you like the outdoors, come here. All the spots to hike (including one trailhead 200-300 yards from the house) were my personal favorite. So much to do in Maine. The house was very well stocked and very comfortable. It's your typical old upper east coast house complete with all the charm while at the same time having a modern kitchen, forced air heat, and all the other modern conveniences. The property is also beautifully landscaped. We did communicate with the owners a couple of times-- very nice people and very responsive to any request.

Summary: Lovely older home as the pictures suggest with a superb quiet private location. It is just a short walk to the beautiful Christmas Cove or sit on the front porch and view it comfortably from there. Nicely equipped kitchen for those who love to cook and a wonderful dining room adjacent to it. The mature gardens provided another unexpected charm to this property. So nice. The owners both Melissa and Bart were very nice and attentive. We hope to be back next year. Shaun G.

Summary: We had a lovely stay at this charming house on Rutherford Island near Christmas Cove. The eat-in kitchen is to die for and we had many happy meals there. Another favorite spot was the porch, where one could get a glimpse of the bay and a few boats and seabirds. The owner gave us some excellent suggestions for day trips. We went to Monhegan Island after she was so kind to tell us about that. We would surely love to stay in this house again. It was very nice.

Summary: This is a lovely Maine cottage with a brilliant kitchen if you like to cook, which is next to a lovely dining room. The porch is ideal and the living room is cozy in the evenings. Christmas cove has been a summer spot for outsiders for nearly 150 years when boat was the only way to get there - the kind of outsiders who liked simplicity. The South Bristol lobster co-op is 5 miles away where you can watch the lobstermen bring in their catch while partaking of it. This is the place if you want peace and quiet. The four of us felt that we had landed on exactly the place we had meant to find when we decided on Maine this summer!

Summary: This was our second stay at the cottage at Christmas Cove and we weren't disappointed. The location is perfect. The house has everything we needed plus a kitchen I wish I could take home with me. I complained about a few ants after a rainy day and the owner sent someone to deal with them a few hours after I texted her. We were grateful and impressed by the quick response. We hope to stay again next year.
