10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
Booked our stay with Ben at the last minute because our original booking for Harpswell got canceled due to storm-related damages. We are SO happy that things turned out that way, because it's entirely possible that we never would have found this property otherwise. Just steps from the water, hidden on a quiet cove, the cottage was exactly what we were looking for. My husband enjoyed using one of the kayaks to explore the area from the water, and I found the perfect place to curl up on the couch and read. We relaxed on the deck every evening, and the AC in the bedroom was great for keeping us comfortable at night. Ben was a great host, super helpful during the booking process, and easy to get in touch with during our stay. Definitely a 10/10 for solos or couples looking for a quiet, laidback getaway, and we're already thinking about visiting again soon!
