Beautiful South End home, 5 minute walk to downtown and beach!

Welcome to Rockland and Lamorna Cottage!
This 1880s home has been lovingly restored. The cottage offers a true getaway on a quiet South End street. It's a short walk to all Rockland has to offer - festivals, shopping, world-class museums, the water-front, several restaurants and the small public beach.
On the first floor, there is a Living Room with a sectional couch and chairs, a TV with internet hook-up and DVD player with an assortment of movies. There is also a large dining room with seating for 6, a gourmet fully-equipped kitchen with island, a 3/4 Bath (shower) and a laundry closet with full-size washer and dryer.
On the second floor, there are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a queen bed and a twin. Both rooms have side tables, bureaus, table lamps and ceiling fans. There is also a full bath off the second floor hall with a deep soaking tub.
Off the kitchen is a deck with outdoor seating, a picnic table, gas grill and a small garden. The front yard is a sunny place to hang out on the Adirondack chairs.
The number of guests is limited to 4 plus up to 2 children (there is a pull-out bed in the Dining Room and a large couch in the Living Room). There are hardwood floors throughout.
There is free internet available and we are pet friendly. We charge $25 for each additional guest over 4 to cover linens and cleaning.
Availability Mid May thru end of October. See calendar. We can't wait to see you!

Fun in Rockland
My husband and I rented the house as we visited our son in the area. This home is very comfortable with plenty of room and a very nice kitchen, great for cooking in. The neighborhood is super quiet and it’s an easy 10 minute walk to downtown Rockland. We would definitely recommend this home and would stay here again!

Wonderful home away from home
Absolutely terrific home - a phenomenally well designed and equipped large kitchen, perfect for casual or gourmet cooks; everything from shelves filled with books to cupboards with games at your fingertips; efficient and thoughtfully designed bathrooms; comfortable bedrooms; quiet location; all immaculate and spotless. Great location with short walk to bakeries and museums. A plus!!

First family trip to Maine
This was the first time our family visited Maine and we had a wonderful week! We loved the proximity to downtown and the little Sandy Beach. We took day trips to a number of places to explore lighthouses and even Acadia! The house was a great space for our family of 4 and we really appreciated the well-stocked kitchen for cooking at home. Highly recommend!

Stylish, comfortable & centrally located
This is our third time staying at this property. It's centrally located where we can walk to the village to see the museums, the harbor or take day trips to the beach. It's very clean, stylish and the property is well kept. Julie is very responsive specially during this year with the pandemic. I would stay here again!

Great home in convenient location
We had a wonderful time during our weeklong stay. Conveniently located close to Rockland center and the ocean which made it easy to walk into town to get whatever we needed and enjoy the views. Home was very clean and well organized with everything we could need and very spacious for the two of us & our small dog (would easily accommodate 4 people). We would absolutely stay here again! Highly recommend.

Great Maine Location
We so enjoyed time spent at this bright & beautiful house from spinning records & sipping coffee in the morning while planning our day to catching up on our Netflix shows at night after a long day of sightseeing. The location is a great midway point for many Maine attractions — Acadia, Bar Harbor, Camden, Mt. Battie, Owl’s Nest Lighthouse, Marshall Point Lighthouse, Boothbay, Maine Botanical Gardens, Farnsworth Art Museum and more. FYI - fun food find was Moody’s Diner south of Rockland on Route 1. Thanks so much for great stay.

Excellent First Vacation in Maine
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Rockland, Maine. The house was a6 minute walk to downtown, filled with excellent restaurants, shops and 2 museums. The Farnsworth, and the Center for Maine Contemporary Art. Short drive from Rockport, Camden and Belfast! I'd highly recommend this house and the owners. Thanks, Julie!

Great stay at Lamorna Cottage!
Our stay at Lamorna Cottage was fantastic! The house was adorable, clean, and had everything we needed. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood in Rockland and is within walking distance to Main Street and Rockland Harbor. There are many great restaurants and shops along Main Street. Juli was so accommodating and efficient; she got back to me immediately when I sent her a message. We enjoyed our stay so much we have already booked for next year!
