Thanksgiving Time
We were so grateful to find a case of water, a disposable roasting pan along with wine, paper plates and napkins as a welcome gift. They were extremely handy for our thanksgiving day dinner. This is our 2nd time here and we found it to be homey and thoughtful throughout the home, The bed is very comfortable. One of the things I like best is that the cupboards are not completely bare. There were some basic spices and other items that are so helpful to have when planning to cook.

Peaceful Stay
Quiet property, nice view of the bay upstairs. House had everything we needed. Slight hiccup with the code to get in the door when we first arrived but we were able to get the correct code and get in within 5 minutes. Close to Boothbay Harbor which had a lovely downtown to explore shops. Would definitely book again!

Wonderful Home and Location
This home was just perfect in so many ways. Although very eclectic in décor, it all worked well and we enjoyed all the extra touches that the owners felt comfortable sharing. The setting is peaceful and quiet, the only things we heard were the rustle of leaves in the trees and birds. The home is spacious with a living area on both the second floor (where the fireplace is located) and the third floor (where the TV is located), a bedroom and bath on each floor, and a lovely view of the water from the third floor window. Outside are decks and natural landscaping which included a couple of bird feeders (fully loaded when we got there to the birds delight), a barbeque, and outdoor furniture. We spent quite a bit of time at the home and loved every minute- no complaints at all!

We had a great time with our kids, loved the location, tucked away in the woods but still had the nice ocean view. Did a lot of activities in the area, it was a great experience and the home had everything we needed!

Great location to explore mid-Maine coast. Wish we had more time to spend but we made the most of what we had. Very comfortable home with many necessities including toilet paper, paper towels , Kleenex, and a lovely bottle of wine. Highly recommend the rental.

The property was beautiful and everyone involved was so helpful! Such a quiet neighborhood and peaceful setting. Only suggestion - make the door code shorter! And the wifi was not the greatest. But hey, we were trying to relax and not have to do much work anyway! Thanks for everything

Great stay!
This was a really great find at the last minute. It is an older house, but in a character sense, not as in run down. It has lots of personality, while feeling modern enough. From the deck on the main floor you can hear the waves most of the time, even though you aren't on the water. From the top floor you have an inspiring, if small, view of the ocean. Most of the time I could see sail boats on the water. The distance to Boothbay Harbor was just right. There is adequate privacy, as the trees hide you from the neighbors. I would gladly stay here again.

Everything was comfortable. The main level heating system is a mystery. We found a thermostat in BR on main floor but we’re not sure what it did; building a fire was perfect and heated the whole house. Kitchen was really well appointed, beds were very comfy.

Lovely and well stocked cottage
This property is very sweet and well organized by the owners who are also lovely. You can hear and see the water from the deck, although it is from afar. Has one King and one Queen bed and a futon in one of the living rooms for sleeping- just to note if you are a family juggling where people will sleep.

Hope to return!
We have traveled from south Caroline, and found GREAT refuge in this house! We caught up on laundry, played board games, watched movies from a huge list to choose from, and all slept so very well!!!! The only heads up I would say is that if you are on main level, and people are upstairs, you will hear them very well, but was not a problem for us. There was more offered to us than we could have imagined!!!! Thank you for our incredible stay!!!!
