Cottage on Sawyer’s Cove

Sweet cottage over looking Sawyer’s Cove. Views of Jonesport, beautiful sunsets , and seabirds and tides to watch come and go. The cove is not a beach rather a mud flat at low tide.
Good location to visit many Maine attractions.
The cottage is handicapped accessible . Ramps, walk in shower, and lift rails if needed.
Fire pit outside.
Kayak available . Enjoy the large back deck with canopy.
Perfect spot to relax while being Way Down East.

We had a very peaceful and relaxed stay. The amenities were superb. The only quibble is that the mattress in the master-bedroom needs replacing.

Five Stars!

This was our 2nd year staying here and it is such a comfortable, clean, well thought-out space to call our home away from home for a week. The house is the perfect amount of space, very functional, and has everything we could need. We enjoyed a few gorgeous sunsets from the deck and enjoyed watching the eagles, ducks, deer, and porcupines that we saw in the yard during the week.

Sweet cottage

This was the second time we stayed at this property. It is a delightful cottage that sits at the head of a cove; we never tired of watching the action in the harbor. The cottage itself is well appointed and had everything we needed! We wanted for nothing ! The host had supplied the house with everything ( laundry detergent! Drinking water! ), down to the tiniest details ( books ! Playing cards!), that we might need. We loved our stay , and hope to return next year !

A relaxing vacation in Jonesport, Maine.

This cottage is so charming. It is clean, bright, and tastefully decorated. Light streams in the many windows giving an airy feel. An eagle was seen at the top of an evergreen tree across the glistening water of the cove at dusk one evening. A hummingbird was fluttering around the wild rose bush behind the house at times. We enjoyed many beautiful day trips from this property, and loved coming back “home” to the cottage in the evenings for a peaceful sleep.

Blissful Bungalow on the Bay!

This was the second time my family and I stayed in Jonesport at Cornelia 's property - if possible, the cottage only got better! We absolutely love the peaceful location with stunning views, the comfortable cottage stocked with everything you could need or want and the centrality of Jonesport to so many enjoyable destinations without the crowds or price hikes of other areas. We so appreciate the thoughtful touches at the cottage like children's books and adult books with themes of the sea and lobster villages (we've learned a lot staying and reading!), your well equipped kitchen and the toys including toys and games that are locally made and sourced. Staying at this cottage is one of the few vacation spots where our family truly rests, leaves refreshed and is sad to leave! Till the next time!!!

Our favorite place to stay in Maine! Family friendly, easy check in, attentive host, stunning views, comfortable beds, thoughtful accomodations. We love the Maine themed books and kids toys. Great location near a campground - we walked out to the point each night to collect shells and enjoy the sunset. Close enough to Jonesport but far enough away to feel secluded. We enjoyed the fire pit several times as well. We love it here!

Quintessential Maine

Lovely decorated and exceptionally cared-for cottage at marvelous location. Our family of six (four kids aged 2 - 11) had fabulous vacation. Many hiking opportunities in the area, kayaking on the cove (cottage is directly at the cove but with enough distance from the water to be comfortable with the toddler). Quiet location, great views.

Cozy home with amazing views

We enjoyed our stay here! The house was cozy and very clean. The kitchen was well equipped. It is centrally located to do a lot of exploring - whether to Machias or Winter Harbor. Lots of good hiking within 30 minutes. The road in front of the house leads down to a little cove and is a nice walk as well. One day we had rain and fog, and were happy that we had such a nice place to stay - just to read, and work puzzles. A great get away!

Pristine view from cottage, a cove with fishing boats moored.

We had one sunny day the rest were cloudy/rainy but we had lots of reading material in the cottage and we traveled the half hour to Machias. You can’t miss Columbia Falls pottery shop and Bold coast coffee made in Machias and purchased at The Crow’s Nest a gift and flower shop. It was a relaxingn stay.

Great location!

We were pleasantly surprised upon arriving. The cottage was larger than the pictures portray and it is a very private setting. We enjoyed seeing deer in the yard and watching a bald eagle perched nearby. The deck is relaxing and has a nice view of the water. We appreciated having access to a kayak but it can only be used during high tide unless you're comfortable mucking thru the mud flats at lower tides. Overall, we enjoyed our stay (it was mainly used as a base for day exploring the area between Lubec and Gouldsboro) but be forewarned that there is a VERY strong odor of sulfur when using water that lingers. We were not comfortable using the water for drinking or cooking - you should definitely consider buying water before you arrive and it would have been helpful if we knew this in advance.

Cottage on Sawyer's Cove Jonesport, Maine

Property was exceptionally clean and organized with ample guiding notes from the owner (Nina). Beautiful private location with sights and sounds of a working harbor in the background and natural areas up close (mixed forest, tidal mud flats). Abundant bird life including Bald Eagles , Great Blue Herons, various shore birds and Wood Warblers. The location is a great base to use while exploring the many natural areas and outdoor activities the Bold Coast of Down East Maine offers. The only detracting feature of the property is the well water supply which has a brackish odor. We used bottled water for drinking, ice and cooking and used the well water for washing only. This was easy to manage for us and would not stop us from renting the property again (which we would).
