Only thing missing was the telescope but replaced with binoculars. The rest was as shown in the picture. Really a wonderful place to escape and relax just as we wanted it to be. Only suggestion would be to place a fire pit on the deck since the fireplace isn't working.

Spring Getaway

Set back on a private dirt road the setting was perfect. The property was within 50ft of the ocean with spectacular views. The sound of the waves was relaxing no matter what time of day it was. The cottage itself was very cozy, well maintained and had all the necessities we needed for our getaway. Thank you!!!

Beautiful views and location!

Extraordinary spot on the ocean with beautiful sunrises with a secluded feeling. Great for treasure hunting and sitting in the deck. Loved the kitchen, deck, and location. Lack of shower in master bathroom and flow of tiny space in bedroom and bathrooms seems main place for improvement. Maybe shelves instead of the big hutch. The claw foot tub is cool aesthetic but lack of shower curtain around it left only one shower for three people in the morning. Everything else was amazing so enjoyable!!

Coastal Maine at its Best

We did a quick getaway for my husband's birthday. I couldn't have picked a better place to relax and unwind. If you love the beauty of Maine's Rocky Coast, you just need to step off the back deck. Make sure to bring supplies because Downeast Maine is NOT the big city. Love, love, love it!

Lovely place to stay while getting away from everything. Maine is beautiful in winter and it was wonderful to be snowbound, watch the ocean waves and read a good book!

Wonderful & Private location!

We loved so many things about the cottage. Overall it was easy to use i.e. the washer/dryer are always appreciated and just the flow of the cottage worked really well. We are older so its being on one level was great and the views are stunning! It's close to great sight seeing and awesome restaurants. Being able to take the ferry over to Bar Harbor was a plus too!

Great summer getaway in Maine

We've stayed at this house twice now and love it. It's a great location on a rocky beach in a quiet neighborhood. Nice view of the bay from the back deck and always the sound of waves crashing on the rocks. We hope to be back again in the future.

Lovely cottage.

The cottage is beautifully situated close to the water. The cottage is quiet and comfortable. The sea breezes are constant so even a hot spell is pleasant. And the wave action lulls one to sleep.

Very convenient location for exploring the Schoodic Peninsula and neighboring harbor towns. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Having 2 bathrooms was great. The deck was wonderful for getting some morning sun. The host was very quick to respond to any questions. We would stay here again.

Wish we had more time

We loved the location. We got to the location after dark. Walking in the front door we were immediately happy with our decision. Then when the sun came up in the morning the view of the bay was amazing. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

Amazing views

I’m so glad I found this cozy cabin in the small town away from Bar Harbor. Our host Ashley had great communication from booking on. I was able to extend my stay by an extra day with ease. I always looked forward to the sunrise with coffee on the patio. The towel warmers are a nice touch and the house has everything you need down to spices in the pantry. I hope to visit again next year!
