Mills cottage is a quaint little cottage in a small fishing village. There are some very good hiking trails near the property and the town of Damariscotta is about a half hour away. There are kayak rentals and other activities there. South Bristol is good for relaxing and unplugging.

6 / 10Average·Jun 2021
We absolutely loved the location of the Mills Cottage on Rutherford Island just past the drawbridge with views of the Marina from the deck. That was stellar.
We found the accommodations to be less so. The beds were not at all comfortable and there is not an inviting or comfortable chair to be found inside or outside the cottage.
The Adirondack chairs on the deck are very old, very low to the ground and very splintered, making it difficult to enjoy this marvelous spot. We took a trip to Dick's and bought ourselves a couple of patio chairs to take advantage of the spot without risk of injury.
The bed was not at all comfortable or 'giving' in any way and the couch sank to such a degree when one sat in it that the arm rests were at shoulder height and it took the cooperation of a willing partner to arise from a seated position.
All of this and more was shared with the owners who acknowledged that they are "working on it".
In spite of the accommodations, we enjoyed out time in South Bristol and nearby areas and do intend to return although not to the Mills Cottage.
