It is in a very calm area (fantastic sleep every night) and a wonderful night sky. We spent most of our time on the dock or the porch. Bring your binoculars! I saw a king fisher, many cormorants, seagulls, some seals and of some hummingbirds. The beds were confortable, the kitchen well equipped and the shower had good pressure. The only caveat I would add is that it is in a remote area. Most restaurants are closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. When they are open, they almost all close at 6pm. Make sure to plan ahead and make some reservations. Or stock up on groceries and just stay in. All in all, it’s a great place to simply relax and connect with your loved ones :) ##### Anne-Marie B.

Jul 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rustic real-life Maine summer Stunning views of Little Deer Isle and nearby cove. Quiet friendly neighbors. Watch for ducks, porpoises, hummingbirds. Central to Castine and MMA; Blue Hill; Deer Isle/Stonington; Ellsworth; Bangor and of course, Bar Harbor/Mt. Desert Island/Arcadia. But honestly, I could stay on Cape Rosier. Wooded property means insects abound but the cedar cottage offers about 95% protection. Cooler nights; still mornings and the sunrise; breezes pick up about noon. It's a bit hot in the summer afternoon, but nearby beach offers a great respite. Watch the tide times. Water off dock is COLD, beware it'll take your breath away. Kayakers or canoists will love this place. Steer clear of the TREE STUMP ON THE RIGHT, near the wood pile, ACROSS FROM THE WELL PIPE. The owner Cindy is warm and hospitable; but will give you all the privacy you want. The house is well stocked with linens, towels, fans, pots pans and dishware; no tub, but shower water is plentiful, hot and strong. We hosted a dinner for 8 with no problems! ##### Margaret F.

Jun 22, 2022 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Big disappointment on many levels We have rented short vacation rentals many times and this is the first time we were disappointed. Pros: The view is gorgeous! The cottage looks right out to this breathtaking view. The cottage is a typical Maine cabin on the water. Cons: No floating dock there. It was shown in 5 of the pictures and mentioned in about half of the reviews. We chose this cottage for the dock so we could fish. When I texted the owner about it she was unapologetic and said it’s not out yet. Didn’t seem to care that it was missing for our stay. The cottage was cluttered, shabby and aging. Not a comfortable stay. The heater wasn’t working properly. When I texted the owner about it, she never responded. We were wondering if we were turning on the right heater knobs. But no response. And that is my biggest complaint. The owner responded the first few times but after my 4th text over 4 days, she just stopped responding. I would not recommend this property to anyone. ##### Anne T.

Then we walked in and I saw the view.....this was definitely a great choice for my husband and I. We really enjoyed our days staying at this cottage. It had everything we needed, and I slept better there than I have in months. We started each morning sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch or wandering down to sit on the dock. We went out exploring the area each day and then happily returned to the cottage in the evenings to sit on the porch until it was dark. Despite it's remote location, the cottage had great WiFi connection which was nice as we planned the next day's adventures. We recommend the nearby Holbrook Island Sanctuary for fairly easy hikes in a beautiful setting. Definitely grab dinner one night at Strong Brewery and don't forget the growler on the desk like we did! The owner responded quickly when I had a question a week before our reservation, and check in was a breeze! You can't drive up right next to the house (just a short, flat walk down the path), and there is a wagon available to use to transport things from the car. If you are looking for a relaxing place off the beaten path, this is a great choice! ##### Diana D. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pattie B.

While clean, it was worn and aging, but everything we needed was there and operational. Our hosts were kind and gracious. The highlight of course was the setting, located on a quiet cove. We really enjoyed kayaking from the floating dock and relaxing while watching the lobster boats, seals, eagles and the beautiful shoreline. A bonus was a supply of wood so we could build a fire for the cool evenings. Definitely a place or relaxing and reflection. Thanks Cindy and Phil! ##### Pattie B.

Cindy is generally prompt with her responses and has a handy guide at the cottage to some local spots (restaurants and other places to go). The check in process was a bit troublesome as the signage getting close to the property is scarce, particularly if you’re arriving in the dark. Ask Cindy ahead of time to clarify. Otherwise, the cottage is as advertised inside, it is quaint and a bit dated, but everything works as it should and is clean. The absolute game changer is the view from the back porch/fire pit/dock. It makes it absolutely worth while and is gorgeous. I would highly recommend this location for that reason. About an hour and a half ride to Acadia National which was not bad. Thank you Cindy! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda B. Sep 2, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful locale on the water I enjoyed my stay at the cottage. The boat dock was an especially nice feature for sitting by the water and watching the boats come in and out of the inlet. The night sky is nicely visible as this is a rural area. Small towns within 20-30 minutes drive make groceries, coffee, restaurants accessible. The cottage itself is rustic, but clean and well-equipped, especially for cooking. Plenty of space to relax , and books on the shelves if you've forgotten to bring any. There are outside seating options, but make sure to bring your mosquito repellant as this part of the coast, being on a peninsula, is noticeably more humid than locations inland. The tap water is drinkable, but may not be what you're used to, so bringing bottled water is recommended. The cottage could do with a flashlight for visitors to used in the event they want to walk out on the boat dock after dark to watch the night sky, so also recommend bringing that along. Wildlife can be heard and sometimes seen in the area. Plenty of deer on the side of the roads, and I thought I heard some coyotes howling late at night. I had a small mammal (I think it was a flying squirrel) who made its way into the cottage for an evening. It made it an interesting, but enjoyable trip! ##### Linda B.

Aug 29, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Lovely vintage cottage This is a sweet little vintage cottage with a lot of character and original charm. My husband, myself and 2 kids age 8 and 11 stayed for a week. We loved hanging out on the floating raft. At low tide it was like being able to peer into a giant tidal pool. We saw huge crabs, fish, hermit crabs, snails, a sea urchin and a baby starfish. It was easy to launch our kayak from the raft and the area is perfect for paddling. The porch in back overlooks the water and is the perfect spot to hang out any time of day to read or watch the boats. A couple of things to know: it was difficult to navigate into and out of the driveway. We arrived after dark and had no directions other than the address provided by VRBO. We backed into a tree (at about 1mph) after turning into the wrong “driveway” and dented our bumper and cracked a light. Even in the daylight it is difficult to get in and out especially with a bigger vehicle. We have a Honda Pilot so I can’t imagine getting there in a suburban or a truck. You need to park a little ways away and walk down a short path to get to the cottage. There is a wagon to haul your stuff which was helpful. There is a spot to get down and explore the shore but there is a steep drop off as the tide goes out that made me a little nervous. My kids are old enough to know to stay away from the edge but if they were younger it would’ve been worrisome. The sweet vintage kitchen has everything needed for cooking anything. The living room was cozy and the beds comfortable. It was nice for the kids to have their own space. We enjoyed eating out at Bagaduce Lunch and LDI lobster. Holbrook nature sanctuary had many nice trails. We did a day trip to Acadia and also took the mail boat to Isle Au Haut. Thank you Cindy for sharing this sweet cottage! We miss it already. ##### Amy G.
