Adorable Little Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay in this adorable little cottage. It is just the right size for two adults. It’s location is perfect for a relaxing getaway: near quaint harbor towns, Pemaquid Beach, and plenty of restaurants without ever feeling overly touristy. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely little cottage
My wife and I had a great stay here with our two year old. Great location and very quaint. I think our favorite part was the large yard with picnic table and easy access to the water. Thanks!

Enjoying the Maine Coast
For many years we camped in this area of Maine with our children and loved it. The children have grown and we returned to visit our favorite spots! We did some hiking, visited lighthouses, ate seafood, and enjoyed views of the ocean as much as possible!

We loved staying here. It is very close to the lighthouse, so we got to spend time there and get some beautiful pictures. The village is very quaint. The house is small, but it is perfect for 2. We enjoyed it very much.

Perfect Maine Experience
Close to many fun places to explore; Monhegan Island, Puffin bird tour, antique stores and flea markets. Cabin has great library covering history of the area and guide books on rocks, birds and even the constellations for evening reading. Being from the Midwest, we really enjoyed all the fresh seafood at area restaurants.

Fabulous Cottage with Private Ocean Acess
The cottage was picturesque and the surrounding gardens were stunning. There is a private road to the ocean where you can walk out on the rocks and explore or sit above the rocky beach and relax. It was a short drive to everything. We loved it.
