2nd time
Posted Jun. 18, 2024 on HomeAwayWe returned to Poorhouse Cove because we loved it last August. We still love it. A perfect couples getaway in a rustic, well appointed and clean cabin. The deck is amazing.

PEACEFUL GETAWAY
Posted Oct. 13, 2023 on HomeAwayIf you want QUIET, this is the perfect place. All we could hear was the sounds of the ocean. Loved waking up to the sound of boats and sea life. At high tide the deck is actually OVER the water. You seriously can’t get closer to the ocean than this. AND- they don’t cheap out on the toilet paper! 😜

Rare gem
Posted Oct. 9, 2023 on HomeAwayI did not think properties like this still existed!! The cabin is perfectly nostalgic yet covers all bases of modern conveniences (no TV, never missed it). And then there’s the view!!!! The water is right outside and the picture window and large deck accommodate this beautifully. The location is close to several small quaint towns with eateries and shops that exude Maine. As beautiful as this cabin’s front yard is, you may just choose to stay and soak it in. The owners are available, yet they stay back and respect your privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we truly hope to return again…and stay longer.

A hidden treasure
Posted Sep. 5, 2023 on HomeAwayA peaceful, magical retreat where great blue heron hang out and an occasional seal visits. A place where sky and water greet you when you wake and soothe and entertain you throughout your stay. A quiet, secluded and charming cabin. The peninsula’s in the area are easy to explore and steeped with history and beauty. Great food is easy to find and the locals are friendly and helpful.

Paradise Found
Posted Aug. 28, 2023 on HomeAwayThere is nothing quite as soul soothing as waking up to the sea at your doorstep……

Peaceful getaway
Posted Aug. 19, 2023 on HomeAwayIn our experience this is one of the most beautiful places we have visited. The cabin on the cove was private, with an amazing view from the windows and large deck. We enjoyed the kayaks but mainly watching the tides, birds wood duck family and shooting stars. The cabin was as described, with a well equipped kitchen and a comfortable bed. A perfect couple getaway. Lots of wonderful trails and places to eat lobster.

Serene setting
Posted Aug. 7, 2023 on HomeAwayWe had a wonderful time here. The cabin is right on the water, and there was an abundance of wildlife to watch. The location in S Bristol was perfect for us- we have friends and family here- and like to be able to get on the water and get groceries with ease. The cabin itself is magical, and it felt like stepping inside a folk tale. The doorways are low, as is common in old Maine homes. My husband is tall, so we put bright tape up to remind him to duck- an easy fix!

A Relaxing Private Getaway
Posted Aug. 1, 2023 on HomeAwayOur stay was incredible. The property was in a perfect spot to watch the sunrise, spot bald eagles and seals on the harbor, and relax over a long weekend. The cabin is gorgeous, with a beautiful deck that serves as a perfect place for breakfast, lunch, and evening drinks. 15/10.

Magical Maine camp
Posted Jul. 26, 2023 on HomeAwayWhat a delightful spot in a beautiful, historic cabin right on the water. Our hosts, Mark and Kim were stellar and we thoroughly enjoyed an exceptional meal at the curated restaurant, The Patio. Lovely!
