About this cottage rental
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.

This home is listed at 864 sq ft but felt much larger due to the open floor plan and huge windows and sliders. It had everything we needed for cooking, sleeping and relaxing. Great decor, too, with nice antiques and photos. Beautiful views and privacy were exactly as described. I wish that the cleaners took their time to look the home over--cobwebs in the bedroom, dirty windows to look at the ocean through, and the door and walls in the bathroom had runs of brown down them. We are early in the season, so obviously a spring cleaning wasn't done.Finally, the footer holding up the sliding doors is rotting out at both corners, and from the inside you can see that if work isn't done soon, they'll lose the door and both huge windows. there's a similar issue with the upstairs bedroom window--rot eating away the frame. Also, wasp/hornets are nesting under the eaves just above the outside deck... We loved the charm of the home, and the location, and would absolutely return--we're just hoping things are taken care of so that we can go back.

Great location. BUT. House was not clean. Dust balls on ceiling over our heads. Dust under couch. Food bits in drawers. All drains very very slow. Two small towels, one thin washcloth, one small hand towel that was it. No lamps in living room.Every drawer and shelf filled with owner food and stuff. No place to put any of our things. Closet crammed with bedding and stuff. No room to hang clothes. (Had to use coat closet), also pretty full. On last day a ‘tenant’ arrived, had gone into the house, standing outside angrily when we pulled up, said they had rented the house. Very awkward, a bit scary. All in all the house was really pretty bad. But the location was really nice and we had great weather. It’s just about respect. Take some time and fix the plumbing. Move some of the piles of things that are everywhere. Make it more like a nice hotel. Give us a bunch of clean white towels!
