Dorsey Cottage - On a quiet cove

About this cottage rental

Located in Brooklin, this charming cottage for $165 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. Dorsey Cottage is situated on a quiet cove that is just off the popular sailing lanes of Eggemoggin Reach (a mile wide body of water separating Deer Isle from the mainland). This picturesque cove wraps around two sides of the home, and provides for more expanded views northeast looking out across the cove and out to the reach. The home is set back from Reach Road, with a large pasture fronting the home, providing for a fully tranquil setting. Simply furnished, the interior provides for a somewhat modest and relaxed atmosphere. The kitchen, living and dining area are open, light and airy, and all gaze upon the surrounding natural beauty. The home has two bedrooms, one downstairs (queen) and one up (double), each with their own bathrooms. There is also a fold down futon in the living room for added sleeping. An open deck runs along the entire back of the home, and includes patio furniture. Both the living room and downstairs bedroom have sliding glass doors leading out to the deck. There is a covered deck on the front of the home overlooking the pasture. The setting is a kids paradise for exploration, but also a serene backdrop for adults to unwind and relax. Washer, dryer, TV will have a cable or satellite connection, VCR, DVD.

Location is fabulous and the house has potential to be charming but issues need to be dealt with: - strong mold/mildew odor in house - moldy and torn curtains in bedroom - windows that have screens need new screens so gnats don't take over - windows that don't have screens need screens so there is airflow in the house - sliding screen door needs new screen (current one is torn and therefore unusable) - provide satellite/cable TV as represented in the listing. Currently only subscription service by the renter is available and if you don't have a subscription service (we did not) then the TV is unusable for standard 'free' channels such as ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS. This needs to be resolved. - home could use refreshed or new linens as the current ones are threadbare. - home needs a thorough cleaning, shows signs of neglect right now.

A charming cottage on a tidal cove. Quiet, cozy, and relaxing. A great place to stay and explore Deer Isle, and environs, or just hang out and enjoy the view.

Lovely location. House has everything you need though could use a plastic wash basin for dishes, grate for fireplace. and some attention to both bathtubs. These are minor. Would be eager to come back, as would my dogs who loved every minute.

Looking forward to renting next year. Only one recommendation- install stair railing to second floor. We are still mobile and healthy but a hand rail on stairs is a simple safety assist for all ages. Cheers

Dorsey Cottage was perfect in so many ways. Location was excellent, loved a glass of wine on the deck. What a view, that included sunrises and sunsets. Roomy for four people, yet cozy. Most certainly is a vacation spot, I would recommend.

Amazing, incredible views of the bay and a little cove! We spent quite a bit of time watching the tide go in and out of the cove throughout the day and the birds hanging out on the sandbar! Very quiet area and cottage was clean and in good condition. Lots of local books to look at in the cottage. Beds were comfortable, but I wish there was a dresser or cabinet to put your clothes into!

We had the most wonderful time at Dorsey Cottage. The weather was far from perfect, yet it still was such a beautiful setting. The view from the living room is so lovely that even though we had a few days of rain, the setting made it so you didn’t feel the need to venture out. Cannot say enough about the accommodations..our first VRBO stay and would love to return!

A little out of the way, but with a nice view of the tides. We loved the fireplace, tea, and the board games. The whole house, especially the kitchen was very well outfitted. A Great place to call home.

We enjoyed our week at Dorsey Cottage very much- perfect location to relax at the property, go swimming at high tide or for a walk at low tide. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable living room with great views. Good location to explore Deer Island. We would love to come back

The property was given to me as an alternative to another property I had reserved that was overbooked. It was far better than the pictures present it as and a calm and private little slice of tranquility on the Eggemoggin Reach. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Traditional Maine Getaway

Traditional Maine Getaway

Dorsey Cottage is what you imagine to be the old-school, traditional family vacation in Maine. Quiet, peaceful, isolated. It is an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. We could launch kayaks into the cove and bay within feet of the cottage, and we could walk for hours on the tidal flats at low tide. The views and cottage are better in person than in the listing pics.

My stay way magical. I saw deer, fox, mischievous blue jays, I was scolded by grey and red squirrels, and three times was lucky enough to see a juvenile Bald Eagle follow the coast to the river and start his flight inland. I was able to rest and recharge and heal and contemplate. You do feel very much alone - the only neighbors far enough away not to see through the copse. There are plenty of hunters around - so if you’re here in the fall be sure to bring your orange. And try not to sing at the top of your lungs. Apparently it bothers the hunters - and to all of them - I apologize! A truly magical vacation. Thank you for the gift of the stay.

Beautiful Location and View

Beautiful Location and View

Our family of four stayed at the Dorsey Cottage for a week. We found the location stunning and enjoyed the birds, kayaking, and watching the tides. The cottage itself was quaint and had charm - but did have an odor - possibly from pets. While we had everything we needed for a pleasurable stay - the cottage could definitely use some decorative updates and a deep clean. Overall, our family made some very special memories and we would recommend this cottage.
