Such a beautiful cottage and wonderful location! We enjoyed the outdoor firepit and meeting the other guests. We got dinner to go several nights and ate by the firepit. Everything was very clean and well supplied Pour over coffee was a hit! The bathroom is a little tight but had plenty of hot water. The hostess was extremely helpful! Would definitely like to come again!

Lovely!

We stayed two nights here in these delightful cottages. The attention to detail is spectacular, from the decor to the coffee provided. We shared wine in the chairs outside looking over the bay one evening. It is a short drive to Acadia National Park. Try the barbeque at Mainely Meat; it is delightful and they have local craft beer. Enjoyed our stay so much!
