Beehive Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Beautifully located near the very end of coveted Stones Point Road, The Beehive is pure and simple with views of Muscongus Bay from virtually every window. It's just as ideal for quiet reflection as it is a home base while exploring the busier areas of coastal Maine. It's close enough to popular harbor towns for activities, yet far away enough to allow you to enjoy the peace of the tide coming in and out of the little harbor. Outdoor enthusiasts will be especially happy with the proximity to nearby trails and the nature preserve for scenic hikes.

Admire views of the ocean and bask in the well-appointed decor from the moment you walk in the door. The fully equipped kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a farm-style sink, and granite countertops that are spacious enough to prepare meals or set out light bites in the afternoon. The living room offers plush seating for movie time on rainy days; there are also floor pillows and blankets to go along with the board games and a small library in the sitting room. The cable TV is equipped to stream movies and play your favorite music from your mobile device. And of course, there's free WiFi throughout the cottage and grounds, though you'll certainly be tempted to disconnect and relax.

Outside you'll find two rocking chairs and an uncovered stone patio area with an outdoor dining area. Sip your morning coffee as you watch the lobster boats head out from nearby Cushing Harbor, catch afternoon glimpses of the neighborhood bald eagle, and punctuate your evenings with lobster bakes and stories around the firepit as the stars fill the clear sky.

Peace and tranquility
Our stay was as good as we hoped and the house was exactly as promised. The house was immaculate and thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed. The location is so beautiful and private. In good weather we enjoyed the patio and hammock. We had two days of rain but the coziness of the house and beautiful views made up for the weather.

The perfect spot!
We live in Maine but in the woods so we love to plan a vacation along the shore. The Beehive was a perfect get-away! We were charmed by the lobster boats and wildlife that kept us entertained!

Absolute Perfection
From the location right on the water to the adorably decorated cottage, our stay was everything we needed and more! Shannon was the most thoughtful host (I highly recommend reaching out to her for restaurant and sight-seeing suggestions). The house has everything you could need and more! The two lounge chairs on the patio were the perfect place to lay and stare up at the breathtaking stars, the hammock for two in the trees is the perfect place to read your book, the bed is so comfortable and the water fall shower with the detailed stone floor and claw foot tub makes the even the bathroom a dream! The sunshine is felt and the sound of the water can be heard from every inch of the property. We can’t wait to come back and visit again. We don’t know how we got so lucky to stumble upon this gem of a cottage, but we were able to relax more than we even anticipated. Book this cottage, you won’t regret it! Soon after you’ll be writing a review just like this one— struggling to find words that feel good enough to describe your experience.

Beautiful Maine Retreat
This was the most beautiful little cottage. It is perfectly situated on the water with an amazing view every day. It was so quiet and serene. You can easily sit on the porch and just watch the water and the wildlife. The house is lovely with everything you could need for a short or extended stay. It was the perfect size for 2 people. There is a little loft with another bed, we never used it, but you could go with an older child. It is at the top of a ladder so it would not be good for a small child or person with mobility issues, but it would be a nice little hang out for an older child. The pictures do not do this place justice. We just loved our stay and could easily see ourselves going back.

Great place for a getaway
We recently had a week-long stay. The property was as listed, very clean, amazing water view, plenty of space for a couple for the week. Would definitely recommend this to others in the future. There is also a nature preserve across the street from the road entrance to the cottage so a local hike is close by and within a short walking distance from the cottage.

So missed some amenities
We love the Bee Hive! But... we missed the home like coziness we experienced in past stays. The bedding and linens were sparce to say the least. And the plush cozy throws to cuddle up with we’re not n existent. Also, a few kitchen utensils like knives that cut, kitchen scissors and pots and pans need to be replenished.. Coffee grinder as well.
