About this cottage rental

Located in South Thomaston, this attractive cottage for $230 per night is a great option for your next break. This approx. 850sf cottage is situated 15' from mean high tide on Mussel Ridge Channel on 2.2 landscaped acres in mid-coast Maine. The cottage is a one bed, one bath with full kitchen, dining/sitting area and living room with a sofa that pulls out into a queen sized bed. A large deck that runs the length of the cottage has a table and chairs for outside dining and adirondack chairs for watching water (a surprisingly enjoyable pastime). TV and internet available. Heron, eider ducks and eagles or osprey (depending on which one kicked the other out of the nearby nest) share the enjoyment of this location. There is also a rolling air conditioner to cool things off in the heat of the summer. Hammock and Weber grill also on site.

Beautiful site with views of the water and outer islands, with Spruce Head visible to the far right. The cottage works very well for two people, could accommodate children. It sits in its own private spot on the water at the back of a well kept property shared with a big house and barns. We look forward to renting it again in the future!

My stay at the cottage was so great! The view is so beautiful, and the cottage is so cute! It's such a beautiful place, and close to so many great restaurants and things to do. Can't wait to come back!

Old Maine charm, with lots of little old Maine quirks. The shower is revamped and is nice, and the kitchen is well stocked. Very clean and comfy. The hedge our front has grown up a bit, (or maybe we've shrunk,) but could still see the ocean. The brewery next door has music, but seems only on weekends so that's ok. I would like to see a better toilet seat, as this one had trouble staying open. Karen has always been easy to work with.

An honest review on this sweet little property- would stay again
An honest review on this sweet little property- would stay again
First- my husband and I would certainly rent this property again. However- I feel it’s important to leave an honest review. My family owns 3 homes in the area that they rent out privately for vacations and business. This year- all 3 homes were hosting family from away for a wedding, so wethis little spot. My review comes from my own personal experience with growing up in this area. We found the location of the home to be PERFECT- and the view was indeed stunning. Cleanliness- 3/5 stars. On the surface, the property was clean. It has the feel of a well-loved home. It could use a thorough deep clean. I found a few tumble weeds of dust/hair/spiderwebs and spiders in corners and under the bed. I recognize that it is IMPOSSIBLE to deep clean a rental in between renters- so I understand. It didn’t bother us- but for any visitors with dust mite or even pet allergies- this could be a problem. The smell of mothballs when we entered the home was overwhelming. The bath linens need to be updated- as many of the large towels set out for us were well worn and starting to fall apart on the edges. Check in process- 3/5 stars. There really wasn’t much “process”. I reached out to the owner a few days before check-in when I had received no details on location of key, etc. (got the automated email from VRBO, but no additional info). Owner did respond and let me know that there was no process, and key was hanging on the wall in the cabin. Accuracy of listing: 3/5 This home has spotty internet (worked 3ish out of 7 days we were there). For us, that is a REQUIREMENT when we travel (as my husband works remotely, and was NOT on vacation). There is a router in the home, but it is daisy chained off the main house, and does not keep a good signal. My instructions from the owner for a fix was to go to the main house and ask them to reset the router. We ended up not doing this- since we are renters and didn’t feel comfortable approaching the other renters(?) at 9pm/8am, 12 noon on Friday, etc. Everything else in the description was AS DESCRIBED. For us - we chose this rental BECAUSE it had internet…. Hence the rating Communication 3/5 - there’s definitely a delay with communicating- but owner does respond through VRBO app, and cell number is provided at the rental (however owner is not on site if you run into issues). Owner does indeed answer the cell- if you need to call. Location- absolutely perfect

Had a terrific week of weather to stay at this quiet, cozy, very efficient cottage. We love this location because of its proximity to all that the mid coast of Maine has to offer. A better hostess could not have been found.
