True to its name, Crow's Nest Cottage, almost a century old and&nbsp;located on land that has been in the same family since 1767,&nbsp;sits high up with a glorious view overlooking the sea (like the crow’s nest high on the mast of a schooner). Inside, its ceiling is crossed with log beams and is open to the roof above. Although rustic, it is refined in detail&nbsp;and decorated in&nbsp;a comfortable “Maine” style uniquely its own. Stone stairs lead from the parking area to the covered porch, peaceful&nbsp;and romantic, with a breathtaking view of East Penobscot Bay and Pumpkin Island Lighthouse. There are two bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with two twin beds, and a full bath. Off of the living room is a small office. The living room/dining room has an easy-to-use gas fireplace insert and hide-a-bed that sleeps one. The kitchen is complete with a gas stove, microwave, eating/cooking utensils, silverware and dishes. It has a refrigerator, toaster, drip coffee maker, electric hot water kettle, pots and pans, and of course a lobster pot. There is a clothes washer and dryer. There is high-speed Wi-fi, a landline, and an automatic generator in case of a power outage.&nbsp;&nbsp;Guests are welcome to use the&nbsp;private&nbsp;Ocean Swimming Beach, just a short walk down the hill,&nbsp;and the hiking trails of Lookout Rock. Please note: Animals cannot be accommodated.&nbsp; A 5th person can be requested for an additional fee of&nbsp;$25/night.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
The owner&nbsp;retained Crow’s Nest Cottage when she sold the Oakland House family members. She and her husband&nbsp;ran the Oakland House for many years. Crow’s Nest was the largest of all the cottages and has the most amenities. Guests return year after year to this much-loved cottage.

CROW'S NEST COTTAGE - SWIM BEACH - AMAZING VIEWS

We just love Crow’s Nest and keep coming back (this is our 4th summer). Located at the top of a hill overlooking Eggemoggin Reach with the Camden Hills in the distance, and far away from noisy traffic, it’s serenity at its best. The porch is a fabulous hangout. The lovely log cabin has all the amenities - the kitchen has modern appliances and all the provisions one needs. Baseboard heat and a fireplace provide cozy warmth on cold nights. The beds are comfortable providing a good night’s sleep. The various antiques and paintings impart an ambience of years gone by with pleasant memories. And Sally is the best hostess!

Had a wonderful time and hosts were exemplary.

We loved everything about staying at Crows Nest!  The cottage is in a wonderful location for experiencing all of Maine. It is nicely decorated, super clean and very cozy. The views of the reach and Pumpkin Island are amazing. We enjoyed playing games on the porch, the beach, and exploring the area. Located only about an hour away from Bar Harbor, you can easily take a day trip to Acadia. The owner provides you with great information about area restaurants and things to do. Highly recommend!

Wonderful location!

We have so enjoyed Crow’s Nest and exploring the area. We even mastered the reservation system in order to have pizza at Tinder Hearth on Tuesday. Thanks for the info about that.Thanks again for making sure we had everything we needed - even good weather!
