We had such a great respite from the daily grind! The cottage was perfect. The setting is amazing...we were able to see seals catching fish, seabirds and the beautiful coast line and islands from the windows and just a few steps outside the front door. We took daily walks down the road to a sandy beach for swimming and beachcombing. It is a nice spot from which to take day trips to Acadia, and local villages. The entire property is lovely and well cared for. The cottage was clean and very comfortable. Probably one of the most comfortable and tidiest cottages we've ever rented. Rosemary and Buzz provide multiple resources for activities, restaurants in the area. They were happy to help us with anything we needed.

My family of 4 and our dog had a wonderful stay at the Chalet. Buz and Rosemary were wonderful hosts, setting up a crib for us in advance and bringing in a high chair for the baby. The view is spectacular, the house super clean and well-appointed and the location is perfect for enjoying and exploring the area. We hope to come back again. Many wonderful memories made here. Thank you Buz and Rosemary!

An absolutely beautiful place! If you’re looking for peace, quiet and restoration, then this area is for you. The chalet was as advertised; magical and immaculate. As part of a family compound, it’s location still lends itself to privacy and autonomy. Be forewarned, staying here in the chalet will spoil you and sets very high standards for any stays you have elsewhere. To say it was “immaculate” is no exaggeration. Beautifully decorated and comfortable as well. We only used one bedroom during this stay and were grateful for a firm mattress. They have thought of everything in their amenities; fully equipped kitchen, binoculars, outdoor seat cushions, market umbrellas, Adirondack chairs, lawn chairs, a picnic table and grill and even a luggage rack (so grateful!) Their welcome/info binder was literally the most up-to-date, detailed one that I’ve seen and filled with recommendations and a sprinkling of delightful humor. The kitchen is cozy yet efficient and we cooked most every night using the gas stovetop and outdoor grill. A private beach is directly in front of the chalet. By coastal Maine standards, it is wonderfully accessible in terms launching kayaks (which we didn’t bring this trip, but you can rent.) A midweek storm left us without power for only a couple hours and we didn’t even realize it (until Lewis popped over to check on us) because of their backup battery and generator systems. They even shared their garden onions and lettuce with us! Highly recommend!

We loved the peace and quiet the Chalet offered. Lewis and Rosemary were great and offered many recommendations that did not disappoint! We’re looking forward to our next visit!

Very impressed. Chalet was very clean. Nice view of the ocean. Saw many sailboats, lobster boats, schooners. We even saw a young eagle fly over one day. We had a great time. The weather was finally nice for the week after a long summer of mostly rain. We are considering going back again next summer.

Amazing views, chalet, hosts. Area is peaceful with plenty of attractions for day excursions. Rosemary and Lewis are wonderful hosts, thoughtful, even shared their garden’s bounty. Fantastic stay.

Lewis and Rosemary's property was absolutely perfect. It was wonderful to walk across the lawn and be right on the beach/water. The kitchen was well-outfitted and the house itself very comfortable. We stayed in the upstairs bedroom and had no trouble with the spiral staircase (I'm 60 and my husband is 70). It was peaceful and secluded, but we were able to get to Tinder Hearth in 15 minutes and Bagaduce Lunch in 20 minutes. If you're looking for a beautiful coastal rental in Maine this is perfection! Thank you Rosemary and Lewis for sharing this special property!

What an incredible place to spend a week, and Lewis and Rosemary were kind and gracious hosts. There’s nothing quite like waking up and looking out to the morning fog in the bay. We brought two kayaks and rented two more. They were delivered to the property when we arrived. Kayaking in the bay every morning was so peaceful and quiet. We saw seals, porpoises, eagles, cormorants, and sea gulls. I biked throughout the area on some amazing, hilly roads. The chalet was cozy and perfect for our family of four. We took the queen in the loft for the views and light, and our kids split the nook and the downstairs bedroom. We loved our stay at the chalet, and are so happy we had the opportunity to meet the Nickersons and spend such a peaceful week in Maine. We hope to return!
