Very nice location, very quiet and remote. Nice views of the ocean tidal flats from the house. The site needs WiFi and a better tv and the rugs were a little too dusty for my allergies.

Great peaceful getaway centrally located to just about everything we wanted to see. Loved it and the local history Nancy provided.

This home is beautifully situated on a peninsula in a quiet, peaceful spot overlooking tidal waters. It’s well-furnished, with comfortable rooms for sleeping and spectacular deck and sunroom. The owner, Nancy, stays nearby and is accessible—very helpful in helping us plan outings to see local sights. She’s also charming and fun to talk with. A special feature are the well-loved gardens—with various places to sit and enjoy the flowers as you look out over the water. The house is close to Freeport and Portland to the south and mid-coast Maine to the north, excellent for daytrips. Nancy leaves plenty of information about things to see/do to make your trip enjoyable. There is no wifi, but we were able to use our phones as hotspots. We would absolutely return to this vacation spot. Highly recommend.

The house is very homey, nicely secluded, and on the water. From the deck we could see many fish jumping, seals, bald eagles, and ospreys. The owner is very welcoming and gave us the local information. The house is a fantastic location to go to the mid-coast Maine attractions and explore the rocky shores.

Nancy is a lovely person and the garden is unique. However, the house left a lot to be desired..mostly in the kitchen. THE dishwasher was broken, the trash compactor was broken with the door hanging partially off…rusty and moldy inside. The cabinets and work surfaces were “grimy” and we felt like we had to wash all the dishes and pans before using them. One bedroom was fine, the other had a really hard mattress. Sheets and towels were ok. In general we felt the house had not been thoroughly cleaned before we arrived. There was no internet and the TV was attached to an antenna which did not work very well. We would not recommend this rental in its current state.

We very much enjoyed our stay in Harpswell

We very much enjoyed our stay in Harpswell

This property is located on a beautiful little private (well literally saw one other vehicle besides our own) back road. It is set up on an inlet from the ocean with a lot of wildlife including 3 bald eagles that have made a home right by the cottage. The back deck over looks the water and is amazing with the sunset in the distance. The property itself is what you would expect in a Maine country cottage. It was very clean and cozy! The master has it's own bathroom and the second bathroom is located right next to the other 2 bedrooms. There is a sunroom which we used for a game room at night. The cottage was stocked with everything we needed, pots and pans, dishes, towels and linens. The property is located in the perfect spot, with Brunswick being right down the road you have access to Walmart, Groceries, restaurants and everything you need and as far as tourism goes, it is in the perfect spot as well. Amazing beaches, lighthouses and nature trails are all within a reasonable driving distance from the cottage. The best part of the property would have to be Nancy, the hostess! She is a wonderful lady full of knowledge about the property and history of the town. She has all kinds of information in the dining room for guests to over look and she is such a nice person!! If you are looking for a 5 star hotel with all the amenities I would recommend you book yourself a 5 start hotel. If you are looking for a quiet / private country cottage that is part of the history of the little town of Harpswell, this is the place for you!!

The owner was spectacular. Our flight arrived late and she knew the nearby restaurants were closing soon. She told us to go eat first and then she would check us in -- which turned out to be just after 9 pm. The patio / deck was probably the most used space by the 4 of us. We enjoyed visiting and taking in the incredible beauty of the area ... both as we all started the day and especially each evening as the sunset off the horizon from the deck.. We were easy access to Harpswell, Brunswick, Boothbay, Camden and other areas. It was the exact trip that we needed.

Navy was a very gracious host who made sure we had everything we needed. Her knowledge of the area was amazing and we took many of her recommendations. The cottage is within easy driving distance of Boothbay, Freeport and Popham Beach. We loved sitting on the deck, listening to the birds and watching the sunset with a glass of wine!

This house is on a beautiful piece of property with great views of the inlet. We saw seals floating by and enjoyed all the birds in the beautiful gardens. A great jumping off spot for our exploration of the area l!

Wonderful 3 day stay with Nancy Freeman. She greeted us upon arrival. She went through the house with us, the "rules and regulations" in a very thorough way but left it open that she was available at any time to answer questions, and address any concerns. In addition, she shared with us the history of the area of which she was very knowledgeable. We do hope to return at some point to Maine

We booked 6 nights at this property and left after 3 days. While the communication with the owner was lovely and the location was peaceful, the house had many issues and needs some TLC. Here's some of the issues: - Dirty: The place had obviously not been cleaned professionally. Hard to even open the windows or screen door. - No Internet - Flying ant infestation in sunroom (which owner simply says happens every July for 2 weeks with no apology) - Two double, very hard beds. One with 100% polyester sheets - Dishwasher: Old, broken. - Skylight: Slight leak when it rains - Very old wall to wall carpeting which makes the entire place have a musty smell. My son, who has allergies, immediately started sneezing and coughing. - House has well water which tastes great, but owner asked that showers be kept to 2 minutes. When we talked with owner about these issues, her reply was simply that this is a Maine cottage in the wild. We have rented Maine cottages for many summers and never had this poor quality of home. The owner agreed to refund us the 3 days, but when we got home only provided 2 nights refund as she said we left too late in the day (even though we discussed the refund that afternoon of departure). The location is quiet and peaceful and I think the owner is hoping that is all you'll want from this rental. We were so disappointed with the entire experience.

We enjoyed our stay in Harpswell. We were there to look at three colleges, but also managed to go to two state beaches that were beautiful. We enjoyed the deck and gardens. Nancy was interesting to talk to and such a kind host.

Nancy was great to work with and very knowledgeable about thinks to do and see in the area.

The location is great, the scenery is beautiful, the property is charming and Nancy is a lovely host who thinks of everything and is a great source of information about the area.

Classic Maine shoreline property, incredibly quiet and lovely. House is traditional and comfortable; Nancy is a joy.

My family and I had a wonderful stay in Harpswell last week. Nancy was a terrific host and her house was the perfect place to unplug and unwind. We purposefully “forgot” to tell our kids that there was no wi-fi and enjoyed some quality family time. The house was convenient to many great spots in Maine and we spent a good amount of time sitting on the deck – where the views were both peaceful and beautiful. Nancy gave some great suggestions on things to do and places to visit/ dine. We had a great time!

This beautiful, comfortable home with lovely views from every window has everything you need for a peaceful and relaxing stay. We were welcomed by our gracious host, Nancy Freeman, who took great care to ensure that we had a wonderful vacation. We experienced some rain but enjoyed the day by visiting Freeport one day and downtown Brunswick another. We enjoyed the incredible food of Maine during our stay including lobster, diver scallops and seafood chowder from Gurnets which is right down the road. The gardens surrounding this home are absolutely enchanting and we found ourselves watching the hummingbirds and numerous butterflies instead of the changing tides. Nancy sent us on our way with potted plants from her garden. If you enjoy listening to the quiet and observing nature up close we happily recommend this home.

For those who love the quiet, a deck on the water and the natural beauty of Maine, this is the place. Great experience, close to many fine restaurants on Harpswell, and things to do from sailing to shopping. Owner was so attentive to our needs and made us feel at home in her corner of heaven!! THANKS

Would I return? Absolutely! I loved sitting on the deck listening to the sound of the tides and ocean birds. I even spotted a bald eagle in the marshes! The gardens on the property were tranquil and magical, I have never seen so many butterflies and hummingbirds! Tucked away in a forest, this house is a retreat from all of the negativity on the news and in the media. Nancy the owner is such a great person! She is very knowledgeable about the area and provided us with good recommendations. I really enjoyed speaking with her and felt that she genuinely cared about our comfort and accommodations. The house was clean and charming. The kitchen contained everything we could possibly need. I would highly recommend this house for people who appreciate nature, photography, writing or are simply soul searching. The house is also close enough to the "outside world" if you are looking for great restaurants, stores and entertainment.

Quiet and peaceful to the extreme; a lovely garden complete with stepping stones and many little surprises; a comfortable, lovingly decorated home with lots of windows privately situated in the woods next to the inlet. If you are into modern and sleek, this home is not for you. No Wifi and TV reception wasn't great. If you are looking for an amazing retreat to watch wildlife and tides, or just relax, read, or think, this little bit of paradise is perfect.

The view from the cottage was beautiful. The surrounding garden was lovely. Peaceful and quiet. The mosquitoes and insect life was annoying. The cottage and furnishings eclectic and interesting.The beds need mattress covers. Bathrooms not clean

If you're looking to relax in a beautiful setting, this is the place! This lovely home is tucked away in the pines with beautiful sunsets. Very private, with lots of beautiful flower gardens. Nancy our host was the best, she was very accommodating. We have been traveling to Harpswell for the past 10 years, and this has been our favorite place.

We loved our stay! Nancy welcomed us into her family home, telling us stories about the area's history. The house was perfect for our family of four, and we felt right at home from the first day. Quiet mornings in the sun room, watching the water from our deck, checking out the fun garden gnomes... Overall, this is a quiet, relaxed and comfortable place to stay. Nancy is incredibly welcoming and friendly. She is so helpful with suggestions on great beaches to explore, places to eat, and things to see and do. Don't miss the Botanical Gardens in Boothbay!
