We enjoyed our stat at Spruce Head. The house was very comfortable. We loved sitting on the deck overlooking Wheeler Bay watching the osprey. Thanks to Gail and Mark for a great week.

House was perfect for our family and dog. Quiet with beautiful view. Owner was great all around. Loved the Rockland area. Hopefully will be back again.

The view of the Maine coast from the house is simply beautiful, and the working lobster wharf was an added bonus. I loved the location and really enjoyed visiting mid-coast Maine again. Gail was always responsive to any questions and very easy to work with. The place was very clean and had all the necessities. I recommend this rental house.

We have stayed at this property multiple times. We love the activity and scenery of the little wharf and enjoy watching the tide from the deck. The location is secluded, but close enough to many towns and activities. We had a wonderful stay, as always!! Thanks, Gail!!

Great house w amazing views, working lobster wharf, lots of seabirds, and all the necessary amenities. Highly recommend

This was our third stay at the Miller's, as always it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this wonderful modern cottage with a beautiful view and excellent hosts. Thank you!

Wonderful place to stay! Beautiful scenery, clean and well stocked accommodations, Gail and Mark were wonderful hosts. Away from the hustle and bustle of a city but within a few hours driving to many major places to visit. Quiet and serene! Absolutely no complaints except we wish we could have stayed longer!

Spruce Head was everything we were hoping it would be. It was quiet, clean, calm and beautiful. Beautiful views. A big deck to sit out and soak up the sun. Clean well appointed house. Lovely. Don't miss this special place. Thank you for rejuvenating our souls!

The cottage was spotless! We have never stayed in a cleaner vacation rental. The cottage was well-stocked with cooking pots and dishes, and there were paper products to get us through our first day until we had time to go shopping. Our hostess, Gail Miller, communicated by text and made social distancing easy. This site, on a hill above a lobster wharf, gave us a fascinating view of working lobster boats. Fortunately, there was no smell from the wharf. Gail brought us lobsters to cook upon request. Very quiet location, and we slept with the windows open at night. Great vacation.

Easy place to stay, pictures of house are accurate, view is great, the deck is like having a big screen TV in front of you all day with watching the activity on the wharf. Owners are friendly and available. Don't waste your time/money with the chowders in Boothbay Harbor, New Harbor or Rockport.... Gail's beats them out by miles. Hope to return.

excellent

Gail was a wonderful host who is very welcoming as is her spotless cottage. I was determined to eat lobster all four days that we spent in Maine, and staying at a lobster pound was perfect! Not to mention the steamers and crab at Miller’s Lobster! I highly recommend it!

When We saw the listing for this VRBO we were extremely excited but had no idea just how amazing the home, views and experience would truly be. Waking up each morning to the smell of the sea and sunrise was an experience like no other. We enjoyed every last moment here. The amenities exceeded our expectations as well. You truly do have everything you need here. Gail and Mark are great hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed talking with them and dinner on the deck prepared by Miller’s Lobster Company Restaurant right out our front door. Learning about commercial lobster fishing was very interesting and even more, to watch them go out in the morning and come back. There is no shortage of activities and sightseeing, most of which was a short drive away. We look forward to returning with our kids the next time, hopefully as early as next year.

Pictures do not do the views this home has of the water justice. Looking out the living room and the kitchen the working fishing harbor is ahead with a rocky cove to the left which was perfect for watching sea birds during low tide. The host could not have been nicer or more responsive. The beds sure super comfortable. The location is ideally suited about equally distant for trips to the quaint little village of Port Clyde as well as trips to Rockland with restaurants, art galleries, and on. We highly recommend!

This has been our second stay at the Miller's. The home is bright modern and clean. I can't say enough about our Hostess Gail. She went far and beyond to make our stay comfortable. There was a storm that knocked out the electricity and Gail made sure we had ice, and an ice chest, candles and flashlights. The electricity was restored before our arrival. Gail communicated with us prior to our arrival with details about the storm, etc. After our arrival she contacted us to make sure all was okay with us, which we really appreciated. I can't say enough good things about our incredible experience at the cottage on the sea. Thank you Gail for everything.

The pictures do not do this house justice. It's so much better. Gail and Mark are wonderful people. The view is fantastic. We have stayed in about 20 different rental houses. The Millers house is one of the best stocked houses we have rented. All kinds of pots and pans, cleaning supplies, and even quite a few spices. This house is not the Ritz, but it is clean, and very well maintained. If we wanted Lobster all we had to do was call or text Gail and she would drop them by, or let us know when Mark would be coming back and we would walk down to the dock and get them right off his boat. We had lobster every night except one during our stay. There is a big lobster pot at the house for cooking them up. We loved talking to the Millers and learning all about the industry and what went in to getting lobsters to the market. I now know that lobster men have to be the hardest working people in the world. Mark would get up at 3:30AM, leave to get bait. Be to the boat by 5:00 and heading out by 6:00 AM. He would not come back till late afternoon to unload his catch, and clean the boat. If the restaurant on the pier was open he would go there next to help cook, and would be cleaning floors till 9:00PM. Next morning the same thing. Gail made a big thing of the noise in the early morning with all the lobstermen working, but quite honestly I never heard them and most times I was up having coffee and watching all the activity. There is lots of small towns near by and they each have something to see. Just remember there are no straight roads in Maine. We used WAZE to get around. If the distance was 30 miles to where you wanted to go it would take almost an hour to get there. Just double the miles and you will be pretty close in minutes. ALL the locals drive no more than 5 MPH over the speed limit. They do not pass, and they always follow at least 5 car lengths behind. I found that very refreshing. Boothbay Harbour was my favorite. The Miller's house is fantastic if you just want to relax, take in the beautiful views, and do some sight seeing. Thank you Gail and Mark for a wonderful trip, and for sharing your home with us.

What a beautiful place to stay on the coat of Maine! Right on Wheeler's Bay at a working lobster pound where we enjoyed the tides coming & going and the lobstermen at their boats each day from our deck. The home was neat, clean, and had every amenity necessary for a week's stay. Storage abounded in the bedrooms and bath, and the beds were so comfy. Although we never met our hosts Gail & Mark, a couple phone calls and texts were all we needed for minor questions. There was coffee ready to brew the first morning until we could get to the nearby Wal-mart for groceries. It was unfortunate that we chose this time of year as their lobster shack on their dock was closed for the season, but we managed to drive around and find our lobster rolls and dinners nearby. All in all, a great relaxing visit to our favorite state, second only to our "Almost Heaven" West Virginia!

This is amazing place to stay, the house is actually bigger than it looks on line and its very clean and stocked with everything you would need. Views are beautiful. Cannot wait until we can come back and bring friends with us next time.

Most relaxing and enjoyable vacation. Very nice house with an incredible view. Perfect peaceful location. The Miller's were terrific. Answered any questions we had and were very helpful. The weather was perfect this week. We spent time out on the deck watching the working wharf and wildlife. Beautiful sunrises and incredible show of stars at night. Exactly what we were looking for.

The Quary house is wonderful!!! We had never been to Maine and had a wonderful time! The house is clean, comfortable and has everything one needs to be cozy and even have some friends over to watch football. The view is so awesome we looked forward to just staying "home" one day. It is a working fishing pier and watching the boats come and go was fascinating. Its beautiful! Gail was great and very accommodating! Go to "the Happy Clam" in Tennants Harbor for awesome German food and lobster!

Everything we needed to prepare and cook the food we brought was available. Gail was very friendly and helpful. Plenty of space in all the rooms, could have used another chair in living room. And the best part-- the view and deck. Hope to go back!!

Beautiful Setting overlooking the pier and ocean buzzing with lobster boat activity and lobster dining at it’s freshest - boat -to-table. Friendly and pleasing staff @ your service.

House was perfect, clean, easy to find. Location was beautiful. My father loved watching the boats come and go from the porch!!

We had a great stay at the Quarry house! Very clean and comfortable. The living areas were larger than we expected. Everything we needed and more. We loved having a dishwasher and washer/dryer which can be rare in Maine. We enjoyed time on the deck and eating at the restaurant. Wonderful property and hosts!

We just returned home from a 5 day stay at the Miller's Quarry House. It is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy vacation. The pictures and property description are very accurate. We were very impressed with how clean and well equipped the house was. We spent most of our time out on the water boating. This is a great launching point to explore Penobscot and Muscongus Bays. Mark and Gail were great hosts. We appreciated their hospitality! Everything was great...the house, the dock, the mooring, the lobster, the deck, the comfy king bed, plenty of towels, etc, etc, etc!
