Bee Hive at Stone's Point, Cushing
Sleeps 2 in 1 bedroom; 1 bathroom with shower
A hidden part of the world. Undiscovered. A secret place. Lucky for you, you know the way.
The Bee Hive, located in Cushing, is a darling summer cottage overlooking Pleasant Point Harbor, a working waterfront. Cushing is a quiet, historic area of mid-coast Maine and is about 10 minutes from Thomaston, 20 minutes from Rockland (home of the Lobster Festival) and 2 hours from Bar Harbor.
Near the very end of coveted Stone's Point Road, the Bee Hive is pure and simple with views of the Muscongus Bay from virtually every window. A stroll down the green lawn puts you at the shore — a perfect place to launch a kayak, read a book on the warm, smooth rocks or take a swim in the warmer months.
At the Bee Hive, it's hard to escape the gorgeous views — the bedroom, living room and the dining room/sunroom provide magnificent views. Watch the sun rise and fall over Flea Island and the mouth of the harbor, drink in the beauty of the Caldwell Islands from the covered front porch or watch lobster boats come steaming in from a day's work on Penobscot Bay.
For a quaint summer cottage, the Bee Hive offers all the modern comforts of home. Wireless Internet, cell service, DVD player, CD player, cable television on a flat screen in the living room (the bedroom features a smaller television) and a full-sized washer and dryer. A multitude of books, periodicals and games provide quieter activities when you want to "unplug."
There is one bedroom in the Bee Hive and it's separated from the rest of the cottage by a small breezeway for privacy. The bedroom is light and airy with vaulted ceilings and a queen bed — wake up to the sound and sights of the water as this room provides beautiful views! If you are a light sleeper, no worries — room-darkening shades block out the light. A ceiling fan helps to cool things down on warm nights.
The breezeway leads to the front porch and the living room. The living room has comfortable seating and a woodstove not to mention inescapable views. Off the living room find the bathroom, with a oversized shower and laundry, and the kitchen. This efficient whitewashed bead-board kitchen provides an amazingly-workable space — a full-sized electric stove, refrigerator and lots of counter space. Smaller appliances — microwave, toaster, and coffeemaker — are also provided.
Off the living room is a multifunction room. With 180-degree views of the water, this space offers seating for six at a wonderful wooden dining room table and sliding glass doors gives this room the ability to function as a screened-in porch. Vertical blinds retract to allow for full sun.
There is a deepwater mooring for use with the house and the waterfront is accessed by steps or a ramp. Linens are provided.
Pets are welcome with advance permission.
The Bee Hive feels just as it should: sunny, airy, comfortable and relaxed — just what a vacation in Maine is all about.
