Bayview Cottage

Bayview Cottage
Our family has carved out a wonderful life in the coastal community of Milbridge, Maine, and now we can share a slice of this world with you. Are you looking for quiet, an ocean view, hiking to amazing vistas, opportunities to walk along the beach, collect sea glass, build a campfire, gaze at the Milky Way, and play? Maybe you enjoy bird watching, whale watching, kayaking, or lake swimming. Bay View might be just your cup of tea. Surrounded by fields of blueberries, cranberries, and lots of romping room for you and your dog friends, our cottage overlooks Pigeon Hill Bay and Bois Bubert Island, a National Wildlife refuge. The town offers a movie theater, pharmacy, restaurants, a museum, and more. McClellans Park calls Milbridge home, spring fed lakes are nearby, and the Narraguagus River meets the ocean here. Our kayaks are yours for the day and we offer a complimentary lobster dinner to our guests.

Bayview celebrates Earth Day!

Every Spring at Bayview brings the ritual we long for all winter:  drying our sheets and quilts outside on our clothesline.  That's not to say we don't celebrate Spring by greeting the returning redwing blackbirds back from their winter vacation.  Or the goldfinches.   Or the the first green shoots of our daffodils.   Our gas dryer gets a vacation too.  So the washed bedding has spent some time outside swaying in the ocean breeze, and we just thought someone might like to know that.

Here is one of my favorite photos I shot last summer in Eastport as we left the beach near the Chowder House on the ferry to Canada.  This house sits atop a cliff overlooking the Bay of Fundy:
