The cottage was cozy and ready for us when we arrived, complete with a homemade quiche from Laura cooling on the kitchen counter! It was delicious, too! No matter what we needed during our stay, the cottage provided it (extra pillows, an extension cord, paper plates, binoculars, area maps, fans, & a wine opener, to name a few). We took many day adventures during our stay (Acadia, Bar Harbor, Schoodic Point) and always appreciated where we rested our heads at the end of the night. Highlights of our trip included meeting Laura and Rob at Schoodic Point, seeing bald eagles soar outside of the cottage, hiking Cadillac Mountain with our kids, dinner at Havana, contributing to the cottage's heart rock collection, and making the trip to Gull Rock Pottery in Hancock. Thank you for everything! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4ef1e1b6-d709-4a3c-ba3f-98a130eefbb0-1753070072022.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Courtney K.

They are very responsive to text messages and provided tons of information about local attractions and restaurants (our favorites Red Sky, Beals Lobster Pier and Mortons Moo Ice Cream).

The pictures on the website are wonderful, but they don’t do the real life cottage justice. It was spectacular, and away from the crowds at MDI Laura responded immediately to any questions we had preparing for our trip, and was as warm and caring as an old friend. She took care of so many details in the cottage, and we could want for nothing. The flowers outside were beautiful and so were the fresh cut flowers inside. The music playing when we came in was calming, and our furry family enjoyed the fresh water that she provided upon their arrival. We could have spent a full day enjoying the antiques, pictures, and crafts in the home. The house was spotless and the views couldn’t be beat. Laura, thank you for your hospitality and sharing your cottage home with us. ##### Kim S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen I.

The house is well appointed with comfortable beds and beautifully decorated in a coastal theme. The view from the main bedroom upstairs is breathtaking in the morning, you do not have to get out of bed to enjoy it. It's equally dramatic on the first level and there are plenty of spots in the house to sit and read and still enjoy the view of the water. The screened in area would be a huge bonus when the bugs are out, fortunately the rain and cool temperatures kept them at bay for our visit. The waterfront/beach area can be accessed by a long set of stairs down to the water. It is very private and while there are a few neighbors, you don't really see the homes through the foliage. It really is a beautiful location. ##### Kristen I. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Crystal M.

This is the quintessential Maine cottage, full of character and surrounded by natural beauty. We couldn't have picked a better vacation home. The views are surreal and the solitude is priceless. If you need to disconnect, this is your spot. Our host Laura was on point. Everything was carefully orchestrated and planned right down to the beautiful soft music left playing for us as we entered the cottage. It really set the vibe. We were delayed and arrived much later in the evening than originally planned. Laura stayed in touch to make sure we would have no trouble finding the place as we would be arriving after dark. The weather had turned pretty chilly that evening as well. With these things in mind, she thoughtfully made a trip to the cottage to turn the lights and heat on for us. It was so incredibly thoughtful and appreciated after a long drive. She even checked in with us to make sure we made it back home safely. These are the small touches that go a long way with me. The communication was excellent and it's apparent how much time, thought, and preparation Laura puts into each visit. We wanted for nothing. If we ever get the opportunity to return, we will definitely be staying with her again. Thanks Laura! Much appreciation! ##### Crystal M.

Laura’s property was lovely! Laura is also very lovely herself. She was very attentive, helpful, and just genuinely wanted to make sure we were having a good time. The home was very well kept and cozy. The views from the property were surreal. We woke up every morning to watch the sunrise. We enjoyed taking walks from the property at low tide and also rented some kayaks that were delivered right to the property. Laura’s place is about 30-40 minutes from Bar Harbor and most Acadia hikes, but this is exactly what we wanted (as we find Bar Harbor a little too busy and tourist-trappy). There are a few quaint, but excellent restaurants nearby (Provender in Ellsworth and Ironbound in Hancock were our favorites). You are also not far from the Schoodic peninsula hikes, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We hope to revisit Laura’s place again soon! ##### Kelsey L.

And extra items that could be necessary. Laura thought of everything. Our entire family enjoyed the celebration and my husband and I enjoyed the peace and quiet for a day and the great beds and peaceful sleeps to wake to a beautiful view and the Full moon and the stars in the sky though the panoramic windows and skylights. Thank you for everything We look forward to coming again and also enjoying the house in little Gasparilla Island Florida in November. ##### Eloise P.

Mornings sitting by the fire having coffee, brilliant sunrises to wake up to or quiet evenings with a glass of wine on the porch. All of these include incredible views of Eastern Bay and Cadillac Mountain. Those memories would be a great start! The cottage is warm, eclectic, bright and oh-so cool comfortable. I We had to pull ourselves away each day to explore the area! The location is so convenient to so many wonderful sites, that every day we explored a different direction. Acadia to Blue Hill, Schoodic Point to the Bass Head Lighthouse, Gouldsboro to Brooklin…all were in easy drives from the cottage. Discovered new and amazing places each day, but made sure we were back at our favorite home to enjoy its views and amenities! Many thanks to Laura and Robert for making their jewel of a home available to us! It was such a pleasure to meet them in person and hear the love for their place! We hope to be back again soon! ##### Anthony D.

This wonderful cottage on the shore of the Atlantic did that perfectly. We enjoyed watching the tide come in and out right in front of us. Can't say enough about our pleasant stay. ##### patricia g.
