Tucked away on a quiet semi-tidal cove, Dorsey Cottage<\/strong> offers a rare kind of coastal tranquility. Surrounded by water on two sides and set well back from the road, this two-bedroom, two-bath home offers peaceful seclusion, sweeping scenery, and direct access to one of Maine\u2019s most beloved waterways \u2014 Eggemoggin Reach.<\/p>\n The cottage overlooks the shoreline with wide-open views across the cove and out to the reach. A large lawn stretches out in front, leading to a peaceful pasture, while water sparkles through the trees just steps from the back deck. Swing from the old tree swing, read a book in the Adirondack chairs, or watch the tide roll in, this property invites you to slow down and simply enjoy.<\/p>\n The interior of the home is modest and relaxed, with an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area that\u2019s filled with natural light. A large wall of windows and sliding glass doors look directly out to the water, and a beautiful, large fireplace anchors the living space. The kitchen is well equipped and flows easily into the dining area, which is set beside large windows offering picture-perfect views with every meal.<\/p>\n The downstairs bedroom<\/strong> has a queen bed and its own full bath, along with direct access to the back deck. Upstairs, you\u2019ll find a second bedroom with a full bed and another private bathroom. A fold-down futon in the living room allows for additional sleeping space. Both a covered front porch and an open back deck with seating give you options to enjoy the outdoors in all weather.<\/p>\n Dorsey Cottage is perfectly suited for families, couples, or small groups looking to recharge in nature. The shoreline is a kid\u2019s dream \u2014 full of hidden nooks to explore at low tide \u2014 while adults will love the privacy, the ever-changing light on the water, and the incredible sense of stillness. A washer and dryer, satellite TV, DVD player, and basic connectivity are included for convenience, though most guests find themselves drawn to the views instead of the screen.<\/p>\n Eggemoggin Reach<\/strong> is considered one of the most iconic and scenic stretches of water in Maine. This mile-wide tidal passage separates Deer Isle from the mainland and is loved by sailors, kayakers, and coastal travelers alike. Known for its calm waters, sweeping views, and graceful Deer Isle Bridge, the Reach is also home to the annual Eggemoggin Reach Regatta, a celebrated wooden boat race that draws enthusiasts from around the world.<\/p>\nSimple Comforts, Big Views<\/h4>\n
