Absolutely loved our stay. What a special place! The beautiful cove view was so nice we decided to stay in for dinner for two nights instead of heading out. Cabin is a smaller but a good size for two people and our 25 lb dog. Rustic and cozy and bright. We enjoyed adventuring in Harpswell, Baileys Island and Bath. Picturesque views just about everywhere! Lots of fun shops, places to eat and hiking/ocean views without being crowded (we went in September.) Highly recommend!

Reviewer Comments:
What a nice getaway we had. The cabin is secluded with pretty views. There’s quite a bit of wildlife to watch (we saw a deer, a coyote, blue herons and ospreys). Across the way we watched the lobster coop work in full swing loading lobster pots onto boats and then later unloading lobsters. My husband fished right off the property.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2024
surprisingly well stocked. Really liked the privacy! More lighting would be nice. Would replace the island with a standard table for card & board games and for eating-found the stools too high and uncomfortable- a shorter queen mattress would be nice the deck & chairs need a good cleaning(mold). With the nit-picking done we had a great time
6 / 10Average·Jul 2023
The property is located in a unique, beautiful location. The cottage was clean and tidy but very small. The bed is a full size, not queen. The futon is the only seating choice and quite uncomfortable.
