Historic Seaside Cottage with its own beaches overlooking Penobscot Bay.. The Gables is a historic cottage built in the mid to late 1800's and has always been family owned. The 2 plus acre property is located on a very quiet road surrounded by cottages built by our great great grandfather. The Gables comes with its own private beaches, plenty of lawn for yard games, a hammock for napping and a back porch for watching sailboats cruise the bay. Bring your own kayak, paddle boards, or row boat to get out on the water yourself. The island is friendly for road bikes if you have one you want to bring. Just down the road from the property there is a playground and tennis courts. Be on the lookout for pop-up yoga classes as well. If you give us a heads up we can put you in touch with a local lobsterman for fresh off the boat lobster or mussels. The Gables is great for families, couples or the solo traveler wanted to find some quite solitude. There are two stores on the island for food, a bakery, and a sandwich/ice cream shop. In addition there are a number of gift shops for souvenirs. For the yachting enthusiast the cottage has its own 6 ton mooring just off the beach. Be sure and check the ferry schedule--see photos. More information at town of islesboro website. Check out Ducktrap Kayak and SUP for rentals.
