We loved staying in this delightful cottage on the bay. It was everything we had expected and more, with wonderful large windows open to the breezes and water views. The host had thought of everything to make guests comfortable, informed, and entertained with well- appointed kitchen, library, and bedrooms. We so enjoyed our stay.

This cottage was the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comforts in a beautiful setting. It was well appointed with a wonderfully curated book selection for all ages to enjoy on the dock or lounging on the screened porch. Enjoyed the fireplace on the one cool evening we had. Wonderful cottage for an Maine vacation.

The house was close enough to town, but far away enough to enjoy the tranquility. Loved watching the boats go by. The house was exactly what we expected and the view from the living room was amazing. Loved watching the sun set from the dock, and the occasional seal sightings. The hosts were responsive and very welcoming. We would definitely rent this house again!
