When to Visit

Looking across the garden to the cove and Linekin Bay in summer

Looking at the Fall color across Linekin Bay on Murray Hill

Summer (June 23 – September 7, 2012 ) is the most popular time to visit the Maine coast. The air is warm and the water temperature is mild, especially in our warmer-than-normal cove. The days are long and the wildlife comes alive. Outdoor activities are endless both on and off the water. Children of all ages enjoy exploring the beaches to discover different creatures that abound along the shore of the Gulf of Maine. Our rates vary by number of people. Please see our rates section.
Fall is fantastic time to make Paradise Cottage your lodging center while you explore the radiance of Fall on the water in Maine. Daytimes are mild and the nighttimes are perfect for a soak in the hot-tub. Fall foliage in the northeast is spectacular. Our peak color is usually the middle week in October but the scenery is excellent for a couple of weeks before and after this. Visit MaineFoliage.com for more info. Take advantage of our shoulder season rates (September 11 through October plus Thanksgiving week).

For seven months! from October 29, 2011 (except Thanksgiving week) all the way through May 18, 2012 and our rates are exceptionally reasonable starting at $990/wk for two people.

Daisies and seagulls in spring fog

Spring in Midcoast Maine is a fresh and delicate season when new growth is beginning. It can start in May and last about a month. It brings warm temperatures for both air and water, as the clouds give way to sunshine. This is an ideal time of year to take advantage of our special spring rental rates from May 19 to June 22, 2012.
