A TRULY NOSTALGIC MAINE VACATION STAY. This spacious 1903 Masonic Victorian home in the “Prettiest Village” in Midcoast Maine offers 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and is steps from local landmarks like world famous “Red’s Eats” for a lobster roll, boutique shops, antiques, art galleries, and restaurants. Just up the road is the award-nominated “Alna Store”!

The space
Traveling with a small group, family, or wedding party? Look no further!

Acorn Cottage, part of Sea Salt Boutique Cottages, is not your typical Airbnb. We are a family-run business, more like a Bed & Breakfast, but with the privacy of your own home. Our love and care for the cottage, morning Maine Blueberry muffins, fresh flowers from our garden, luxury linens, Ammi’s artwork, and outstanding hosting make this stay special. Ammi and Kevin have curated a beautiful, comfortable experience.

This 1903 Victorian has been updated with modern amenities while preserving its nostalgic New England charm. The first floor features a fully renovated kitchen with an electric stove, full-size fridge, pantry, and all necessary cookware. We provide coffee, teas, milk, and butter to get you started, plus freshly baked Maine blueberry muffins to greet you in the morning.

The living room, adjacent to the kitchen, is furnished with a Pottery Barn couch, two chairs, internet TV, and excellent WiFi. A small sitting room next to the living room offers French antique chairs, small table and a beach pebble stone fireplace. There’s also a convenient washer and dryer tucked away in a closet.

The second floor has three private bedrooms, each with a queen memory foam mattress, luxury bedding, and a restful atmosphere. One bedroom has an en-suite powder half bath, while the large full bathroom with a tub and shower is located nearby.

Outside, enjoy the private patio with a table and chairs, overlooking a large yard and flower gardens. The neighboring tiny church art studio adds to the picturesque backdrop.

Additional Notes:
• Private parking for two vehicles
• Excellent WiFi
• AC units in all bedrooms
• Central heating
• Fresh flowers in all rooms
• The owner’s art gallery is across the street, open daily from 10-5 this year we are offering a French Antique pop up which compliments Ammi’s art.
• For larger groups, Sea Cloud Cottage (a two-three person guest cottage) and Sea Salt Cottage (across the street) can be rented together!

Historic Wiscasset, Maine, is known as the "Prettiest Village in Maine." Sea Salt Boutique Cottages is nestled in the heart of the historic district, within walking distance of the iconic Red’s Eats, several five-star restaurants, and a variety of boutiques, art galleries, and antique shops. Wiscasset sits along the Sheepscott River, the deepest river north of Boston. In the late 1800s, it was revered as a prominent maritime capital. Much of the town remains untouched by modern life, and visitors can enjoy the "Museum in the Streets" walking tour to learn about the rich history this charming town offers. Today, Wiscasset exudes picturesque, quaint New England charm, offering a slower pace of life—a true summer haven.

Guest access
Guests have their own driveway with free parking. Contactless access with touchpad lock.

Other things to note
• Acorn Cottage is adjacent to our other rental, Sea Cloud, but there are no shared spaces, ensuring complete privacy for each property.
• Hosting and managing the three cottages at Sea Salt Boutique Cottages is our full-time family business. We live next door and are available to assist with any travel needs. We love hosting and strive to make your stay as comfortable as possible! Follow us on social for local insights and more photos of our properties.
• While we adore animals, we cannot accommodate pets in our cottages. Thank you for understanding.
• Refunds: We understand that life happens. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance as Airbnb doesn’t cover cancellations made last-minute. If there’s ample time, we’ll do our best to accommodate changes or offer a rain check for a future stay within a year.
