Arriving by boat? The harbor is protected in all directions except the Northwest, and features a fairly flat basin with a generally muddy bottom. There’s plenty of depth at low tide in the heart of the harbor for all but the largest-drawing boats (i.e. Shamrock V), so you can anchor safely in most conditions.

Cozy, Earthy and Elegant - Cottage on Northwest Harbor

July 15, 2025

Those of us who have spent summers in Maine since childhood can recognize when a cottage hits all the marks, and this one does. It’s just perfect. Not fancy. You don’t want fancy. But it is cozy and earthy and elegant, outfitted with what you need, access to quiet harbors, a good chair to sit by the sea in, a comfy bed with an ocean breeze. This spot is all that. My mom, a local, says it felt like home.If I’lucky, I’ll get to go back! Grateful

The best way to explore the coast of Maine

August 10, 2023

Once again we wish to thank Nichole and her team for a wonderful stay on Deer Isle. As always, it was a positive experience. We have rented from Nicole for many years and we have never been disappointed. Nichole and team are very friendly and accommodating, and Nichole herself, stays in touch throughout the entire rental process. Our Cottage on Northwest Harbor was lovely and exactly what we expected. There were no surprises when we arrived. The cottage was extremely clean and the kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, utensils and cookware. I even discovered some balsamic vinegar!! Every morning we enjoyed our coffee on either the deck seating or the chairs, perfectly placed on the lawn for viewing the seals that visited every morning. We highly recommend Nichole and her team from Maine Rentals and Real Estate. (And remember to reserve your kayaks and equipment with them, it’s the best way to explore the coast of Maine.) Thanks again. Paul and Pam
