For our small family wedding (our daughter and son-in-law,) the groom's family stayed in the Cottage. A couple of my Millennials bunked in the nearby Binnacle. These houses are adorable and comfortable.

The property and setting is gorgeous. What you can't see, until you get there, are the flexible and generous hosts, Susan and Ned. A top notch Maine vacation.

We were privileged to be able to book this total and complete gem of a property and vacation experience. The entire property allows you to experience a dock, a beach, a field and SUNSETS without needing to leave home. It was, frankly, hard to tear ourselves away to go explore the rest of the area. Our cottage was actually spacious for the 6 of us who stayed there, and the little binnacle next door was perfect for the family matriarch to have her own space. The kitchen and dining room had everything we could dream of, including spices, a hand mixer and lobster tools (we got fresh lobster at the point right down the hill), and we all fit in the beautifully renovated kitchen. Overall every detail is thought-out so perfectly. The rooms have a carefully selected decor to look like they are from the 40s but the electricity and conveniences are just so comfortable: a new shower fit under an attic nook, fresh water lines out to the dock, new heater/cooling systems, great outdoor lighting, super comfy porch lounge chairs.... That said, we should say that people who cannot go up/down a gentle hill, an older narrow staircase, or need massive showers are not going to be as comfortable as we were. We loved the mix of rustic and utterly comfortable and enjoyed every minute eating and lounging outing and in. THANKS for this precious getaway!

The Cottage is part of an 8-acre property with 2 other rentals. The property is just beautiful and well maintained. The Cottage sits closest to the water and the view is spectacular. The screened porch is where I spent the majority of my time. The Cottage itself is really cute and surprising large - 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 downstairs, plus a little bunkhouse with 2 beds and a bath. A nice modern kitchen. The location is great - peaceful and so convenient to Brunswick and Freeport. I hope we can come back and stay again.

We had a great time at this beautiful property. There was plenty of space to roam around on the beach/trail/dock and the entire place was just perfect. Truly hope we can return to this lovely spot. Susan and Ned were the best hosts.

We had a wonderful family vacation at this cottage in August 2021, and enjoyed the fantastic view of the bay and the lobster boats. We swam everyday off the dock and at the beach, and made day trips to see lighthouses and for lobster rolls. The property was a perfect peaceful and quiet escape for my wife and me, along with our grown children. Highly recommended.

The cottage is so cute! We loved our time here. The space was perfect for everyone to spread out and do their own thing. If you want to sit by the water, kayak, explore the tide pools in low tide, or watch amazing sunsets, this place is for you! Location was great as a base camp for relaxing and taking day trips. Ned and Susan were so nice and accommodating!

The meadow lush with wildflowers, the cove “boiling” with schools of menhaden flashing in bright sunlight, beside a cottage perfectly sited to enjoy the constantly changing waterfront. Beautiful, calm, cozy, endlessly interesting.

Wonderful cabin with an unparalled view, charming grounds, and spectacular sunsets

Wonderful cabin with an unparalled view, charming grounds, and spectacular sunsets

I’m almost hesitant to say all the wonderful things we love about the Woodman Cottage because I want to keep it all to myself! The Cottage is part of the Woodman family compound that includes a dock, meadow, cliff walk, beach side, and pond. The Cottage is simple but completely lovely and charming with a well-appointed kitchen and everything you need for a perfect Maine getaway. We watched spectacular sunsets every night right from the porch and enjoyed the well-kept lawn and gardens every day. The dock is great and has tables and chairs where you can gather for a drink or even dinner. The dock is shared by others on the compund, but we never saw anyone else, so had it all to ourselves. The location in Harpswell is great too — just down the road from Allen’s Lobster where we walked to pick up clams right off the boat — and close to the Dolphin and Erica’s in one direction and Brunswick in the other. The Woodmans themselves are so easy to work with and provided us with lots of useful information about the house and the area. They were available for any issues that arose and were very responsive. We can’t wait to go back!!
