Great time off the grid

Rick and Mark were wonderful hosts. The location is fantastic, with a deck literally over the ocean. It is simple yet has all the trappings for a relaxing time. Fresh seafood—lobster, clams, and oysters—is a few miles away. It is a comfortable place with incredible sunsets and sunrises - just be sure the coffee is on for the early mornings. We would book it again. GJM

Summer Tranquility

The historic cottage is well appointed with everything you need for a summer respite. There is a large picture window that gives a beautiful waterfront view. The large deck is equipped with a table and chairs for dinning with a carryout from the Pemaquid Lobsterman's Co-op. The Adirondack chairs are perfect for your summer read. IT IS SO QUIET THERE. We are already planning our return next summer

A Relaxing Private Getaway

Our stay was incredible. The property was in a perfect spot to watch the sunrise, spot bald eagles and seals on the harbor, and relax over a long weekend. The cabin is gorgeous, with a beautiful deck that serves as a perfect place for breakfast, lunch, and evening drinks. 15/10.

A Quiet Cove in Maine

This cozy waterfront cabin directly on the water was a perfect getaway for my husband and I. Lots of peace and quiet, comfortable bed, free use of 2 kayaks off the private dock on the property, beautiful hiking trails less than 10 minutes drive away, and about 45 minute drive to Boothbay. Our host Rick was warm and friendly and accessible if we had any questions. We love this area of Maine and our stay was wonderful!

Delightful

The cabin is perfectly cozy and the setting is a nature-lover's delight. You can watch the sun rise from your bed, have cocktails on the enormous deck while you watch the crabs come out, leaping fish and birds galore (including a bald eagle). We loved our stay and our hosts - we encourage anyone to take advantage of a fantastic meal a short stroll up the hill when you stay. Loved it!

A hidden treasure

A peaceful, magical retreat where great blue heron hang out and an occasional seal visits. A place where sky and water greet you when you wake and soothe and entertain you throughout your stay. A quiet, secluded and charming cabin. The peninsula’s in the area are easy to explore and steeped with history and beauty. Great food is easy to find and the locals are friendly and helpful.

Peaceful getaway

In our experience this is one of the most beautiful places we have visited. The cabin on the cove was private, with an amazing view from the windows and large deck. We enjoyed the kayaks but mainly watching the tides, birds wood duck family and shooting stars. The cabin was as described, with a well equipped kitchen and a comfortable bed. A perfect couple getaway. Lots of wonderful trails and places to eat lobster.

Delightful

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this cozy, private little cabin, which looks out over the water from what is perhaps the best site in mid-coast Maine. We made liberal use of the deck for meals, reading and relaxing and explored the estuary from the two kayaks provided. The owners, who operate an event space on the property, are cordial and responsive. We look forward to coming back.
