4 Bedroom Cottage in South Bristol

This is a charming, light filled historic cottage on the "Gut" in South Bristol. Minutes from the summer community of Christmas Cove.
The Sumner McFarland House is three stories and boasts porches on two floors. The large eat-in galley kitchen has multiple picture window views of the harbor. There are 3 bedrooms on the second floor and a larger bedroom on the third floor. There are bathrooms on each floor. There is a private driveway and parking next to the house. The true front of the house faces the water, and slopes to a large dock with a picnic table, a ramp, and float to tie up your boat, or to launch your kayaks and paddle boards.
Our second floor has four small rooms:
1st bedroom with full size bed and views of the trees
Bathroom with clawfoot tub and shower
2nd bedroom with full size bed and views of the harbor
3rd bedroom with a pair of twin beds and views of the harbor and river
There is also a sun deck to sit and enjoy your morning coffee or your afternoon book and wine.
On the third floor, there is a bedroom suite with a queen-sized bed, kitchenette, half+ bathroom, and a reading nook to sit and view the water.
The living room is bright with picture window views of the water. There is also a second living space for watching TV (or the water if you prefer). The covered porch is the perfect place to escape and relax and enjoy the salty breezes.
Live or cooked lobsters are walking distance away at the Fishermen's Co-op. You can also walk to Osier's for fresh off the boat fish or a quick lunch. Ask for the Fisherman’s catch. During the summer season you may pick up fresh baked goods at Kneaded Provisions.
The public boat launch is next to the Co-op, and you have a choice of Bittersweet Landing Boatyard or Gamage Shipyard for your boating needs.
Kayak and paddle board rentals are available and can be delivered by Mitch at Midcoast Kayak.
Watch the boats, the gulls, the seals, the morning mist rising off the water. Paddle or motor to the neighboring islands and ocean.
Washer and dryer are on the first floor.

Summary: This is a beautiful, well taken care of home! The views from the kitchen, dining, bedrooms, multiple porches and the dock were awesome. The decor in the home is charming! The owner has everything there that you could possibly need…kitchen items, plenty of seating, games, puzzles, books, extra blankets, etc. It’s a beautiful area to take walks as well. There are places close by to grab coffee, sandwiches, lobsters, oysters, clam chowder, etc. The owner of the home is very nice and responds immediately to any questions or problems you may have. We had such a nice, relaxing time and would come back again. Thanks for sharing your home!

Summary: Very clean! Has everything you could possibly need for cooking. The kitchen is definitely the place to gather. The only inconvenience I found was having to take the trash to the transfer station which is not open on a Sunday, (our check out day) I had to bring it home with me, fortunately I live n the area!

Summary: We stayed at the property for two nights for a family getaway after the holidays. The house was in a great location, beautiful views, spotlessly clean, and very well equipped. We loved waking up to the light hitting the water and being able to explore the beautiful peninsula. Great hikes a short drive away. We would gladly stay again!

Summary: For over 40 years, our group of women—friends who worked together and have stayed close ever since—has made it a tradition to reconnect and spend quality time together. Three years ago, we discovered this house, and it has quickly become our go-to spot. Every visit feels like coming home. The house is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, making it perfect for a group like ours. We especially love the fabulous kitchen and eating area and all the wonderful views. Living areas are full of art and tastefully decorated. The location is ideal, allowing us to enjoy being together and taking walks in the beautiful area, Close beaches and a lighthouse are a plus too. Each year, the host goes above and beyond to ensure everything is just right, and her attention to detail makes us feel so welcome. This place has become more than just a vacation rental—it’s a part of our tradition and memories. We can’t recommend it highly enough for anyone looking to create lasting memories with friends or family. We’re already counting down to our next visit!
