Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Located in the heart of the "prettiest village in Maine", the Widener Company Guest Cottage is central to Wiscasset’s many shops, restaurants, and one block from the picturesque waterfront. Explore the charming historic village, grab a lobster roll at Red's, or visit one of the local museums or the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. The cottage offers a tranquil escape while still being close to everything our beautiful town has to offer.

The space
Set back from our main house and shop, the guest cottage offers two separate guest rooms, each with its own private entrance, parking space, and garden area.

Your room has been thoughtfully decorated with custom bed hangings, custom-made cotton percale sheets, down pillows, and natural Queen-size mattresses by Saatva. Antique furniture, a small seating area, and 19th-century framed French botanicals complete the space. 

The bathroom features porcelain fixtures, fluffy towels, and essential oil-infused bath products by EO. A miniature refrigerator, hairdryer, and complimentary bottle of Mountain Valley water are included during your stay.

Guests have access to a private area of shared garden space, with a teak dining table and chairs.

To honor the spirit of summer in Maine, there is no television in the room, however, WiFi is available.

The guest cottage rooms are on the second floor of a 19th-century style carriage house and feature two separate guest rooms (which can be rented together and accessed by opening the locked adjoining doors.)

Guest access
Guests have access to their own private room, bathroom, parking, and a private section of the shared garden.

Other things to note
Please note that this room is not accessible and can only be accessed by stairs.

This is a non-smoking property. If evidence of smoking is found or suspected, the guest will be charged a $500 smoking fee.

While set back from the main road, guests may hear/see some traffic noise/lights.

A small dog, Rudy, lives at the main house and may be in his own section of the shared garden during your stay.

This is a queer-owned space.
