Barbara’s house is always lovely. We appreciate how clean it is and the lovely fresh flowers she puts throughout. Our little one loves the games and toys. A great place for a family getaway.

The entire experience was exactly what we were looking for. The owners were lovely and helpful. The cottage was well stocked with all sorts of things to do. Sleeping in the master bedroom felt like sleeping in a treehouse. We decided to book for next year the first night. Perfect!

The cottage was immaculate and the view of Townsend Gut and the variety of boats passing through was amazing and fun to watch. We also saw seals, ospreys, Kingfishers, eider ducks and a bald eagle. No matter whether you were in the cottage, on the screened in porch or sitting in the nice Adirondack chairs outside, you had a birds eye view of everything that happened on the gut. We spent many hours sitting down on the beautiful dock. Thank you for sharing this great vacation spot. Cindy & Mike

The house is a great fit for my family. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking whatever meal you plan, there are plenty of towels, and games and a great view from the screened in porch.

We loved staying in this delightful cottage on the bay. It was everything we had expected and more, with wonderful large windows open to the breezes and water views. The host had thought of everything to make guests comfortable, informed, and entertained with well- appointed kitchen, library, and bedrooms. We so enjoyed our stay.

This cottage was the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comforts in a beautiful setting. It was well appointed with a wonderfully curated book selection for all ages to enjoy on the dock or lounging on the screened porch. Enjoyed the fireplace on the one cool evening we had. Wonderful cottage for an Maine vacation.
