Johnsen Cottage Turn of the Century Cottage on the ocean in Christmas Cove

$280-360/night
5 Bedrooms • 2 Baths • Sleeps 6-8
Internet Fireplace Oceanfront (more...)

Tucked away at the end of a private road, this secluded turn-of-the-century cottage captures the true essence of a classic Maine coastal retreat. Filled with warmth and character, the cottage has been lovingly maintained, preserving the timeless charm so many seek.

A glass-enclosed sun porch offers a perfect place to relax and take in the stunning water views. The cozy main-level master bedroom and bath are conveniently located just steps from the kitchen, while the main house features three additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a charming crib room upstairs.

The lawn extends to the water’s edge, making it ideal for launching kayaks and canoes directly from the rocky shoreline. Surrounded by pines, maples, and oak trees, the property sits on the outer edge of the highly sought-after Christmas Cove on Rutherford Island.

This special location offers the best of both worlds — a peaceful retreat and a front-row seat to authentic Maine coastal life. Enjoy views of working lobster boats, sailboats under full sail, and the scenic East Boothbay shoreline with Heron Island beyond, creating a setting you’ll never forget.
