Built in the early 1900s, long before required 75 foot setbacks were in place, Willow ledge was erected at the water’s edge. It rest on Little Deer Isle, and along the prime shoreline of Penobscot Bay, with views over a variety of islands and passing seafaring vessels. Ocean breezes guide waves to the mix of rocky and sandy shorefront adjacent to the cottage, while acres and acres of surrounding forest gently sway and shelter this secluded getaway.

The interior of the cottage is little changed - with the exception of updates to the kitchen, bath, and the addition of a two bedroom bunk house (adding to the 3 bedrooms already present upstairs). Step back in time with the rustic nature and simplicity of this home. Wooden walls, ceilings and floors exude warmth and coziness. The open living area gathers around a massive brick fireplace, with built-ins, window seat, and bookshelves (filled with books) adding charm. When cool, enjoy the warmth of a crackling fire to relieve the morning chill, or on warm days, open any or all of the 3 french doors - each facing a different direction and ensuring excellent cross breezes. Relax on the covered porch, stretching along the entire exterior of the waterfront side of the home - complete with lounge chairs and large table for outside dining. The interior dining area affords views of the bay and open woodland, as does the simple but efficient kitchen.

Upstairs there are three simple bedrooms--a master bedroom with new queen bed to one side of the stairway, and two bedrooms to the other side (2 twin beds in one bedroom, and 1 twin in smaller single bedroom). The stairway and a small hallway provide for a bit of privacy between the master and two remaining bedrooms. The small bath downstairs includes tub and shower. The bunk house is located just a few steps from the back door of the property, so is easily accessed day and night - and has a main room with queen bed, and adjoining bedroom with two twin beds. The bunk house is quite spacious and very charming.
