The location is amazing. Tenant’s harbor is my favorite area in mid coast and then this cottage could not be better located. Had kayak delivered by Port Clyde Kayak (great place) and paddled daily right from outside the cottage. Easy walk to General store and Happy Claim (another great place). The cottage is lovely and well stocked kitchen for all cooking equipment ( bring your own coffee though). Bed very comfortable. FYI there are not ceilings in bedroom which I loved looking up at rafters however.

We had a great stay at the cottage. It was clean and had everything we needed. The view from the back deck was amazing and we spent hours watching the boats come and go and the tides roll in and out!! We will return!

Cozy cottage with unbelievable view!

Perfect location for a quiet getaway. Can’t get much closer to the water than this. Rocky beach area is just feet from the door and fun for beach combing for shells and rocks. Boats coming and going all day. The kitchen has everything you could want.

Sitting at the firepit outside, directly on the rocky beach and the Atlantic Ocean was magical ! We had a relaxing, enjoyable stay in this classic cottage. The location is unparalleled and the cottage immaculate. Our dog was in in heaven running on the rocks and beach all week. We look forward to our next stay at Moonlight Cottage!.

Amazing Location

This sweet cottage is located about 25 feet from high tide in Tenants Harbor, where you can watch the lobster boats heading out in the morning and coming back in the afternoon. Its location ensures privacy, with no houses on either side, on a quiet road not far from town. Veronika always responded to any questions quickly and was an excellent communicator. We loved our stay here and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Maine Event 2

Wow! What a quaint little piece of perfection. We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was well appointed, clean, and comfortable. The surrounding area was just what we wanted. We had the privacy desired, but close to restaurants, shopping, hiking, lighthouses, and boating. We look forward to a return visit.

Truly at the water's edge

We enjoyed sitting on the porch with a warm or cold beverage, reading and watching the boats enter and leave the harbor (bring your binoculars)! The cabin is a couples retreat and came with a well'stocked kitchen for cooking...although we enjoyed dining out and got our fill of the local seafood and baked goods, especially lobster, clams and haddock and everything made with Maine blueberries

We renamed the cottage ‘The Acorn House’.

Cottage had top notch appliances, was clean and a short walk to the general store. View was wonderful. The problem was the ongoing bombardment of acorns hitting the roof, the porch and occasionally one of us. Because the cottage’s ceiling is an uninsulated roof, the impact of the falling acorns on the roof resembled exploding cherry bombs 24/7. There is also too much furniture and we lost count regarding the number of pillows everywhere. The cottage is too small for all the stuff in it. But we love Maine and are very appreciative that the owners shared their cottage. (We have too many squirrels in our yard at home. We would be happy to import some.)

Maine home away from home

This is a beautiful property with so many areas to enjoy the weather. We loved watching the lobster boats and wildlife. The evenings were spent drinking coctails beside the firepit. A great place to spend a week in the heat of the summer.

Thomaston is quiet and beautiful. Close to Port Clyde and Rockland. Good lighthouses to visit near both spots. The Happy Clam restaurant in St. George has good food but pricey. McCloons in S. Thomaston is the place to go for great lobsters/lobster rolls. Camden Maine is not too far. The house on Barter Rd. is comfortable but very small; OK for two with well equipped kitchen. Rent is too high.

The Moonlight Cottage, situated on a working harbor with an amazing view of Southern Island and the Gulf of Maine, is the quintessential Maine cottage. The kitchen is quite well equipped, there is easy access to the water for kayaking (rentals from Port Clyde Kayaks) and the cottage location, in Tenants Harbor, allows easy access to hiking and fantastic restaurants in nearby Rockland, Rockport and Camden.
