This unique location in the center of Georgetown Island on a tidal cove is pleasing. The cottage not so much. The charm of the 100+ yr house would be much improved with updating of the very tired furniture, rugs, bedding, linens, appliances and bathrooms, as well as a thorough cleaning. There is good potential for a great stay if this is done.

Great house. Secluded location, with great hike at the sanctuary next door. We were able kayak and watch eagle, right from the property. Reid Island beach was close by and was great fun. Would return again. Thanks!

It is a wonderful property, very comfortable and welcoming. It was perfect for myself, sister and parents. Close to many Maine attractions without being in the middle of them. Generous pass to Reid park with its sandy beaches which were not overcrowded Would de stay here again

The house is old, and in beautiful condition. It has air conditioning units for the hot days, as well as dehumidifiers for those few midsummer days in Maine that require a little comfort assistance. There are numerous comfortable places to sleep, and plenty of privacy in the various sections of the house. It is located near to beaches and to shopping, but the setting is quiet and has its own access road. The kitchen is fully equipped, the dining room has plenty of room for 6 or more (we seated 9 one night), and the family room with a loft has the best couch! There is an outside grill and lawn chairs overlooking RobinHood Cove. The house is even nicer than it sounds in the owner’s description. We were in Georgetown for a family gathering, and if it happens next year, we would not hesitate to book this wonderful house again. Many thanks to Mary Beth for her hospitality!

We had a wonderful week. For half of the week it was just parents and then teens arrived for the second half. There was plenty of space to spread out, which really helped as we had a lot of rain. The kitchen was very well equipped. We would definitely stay there again! We really appreciated the pass for Reid State Park - we went there one day during the day and most evenings. This wasn't meant to be a sight-seeing trip as we have seen a lot of the area, but it is very centrally located to visit lots of places in the mid-coast area. We went down to Freeport, fireworks in Bath, and to Boothbay to go to the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden. Locally we went to Reid State Park, ate at Grey Haven Inn and Five Island Lobster, and took a hike out the Squirrel Lighthouse.

Wonderful location - nice view - quiet and calm. Easy access to Five Islands & Reid State Park - two of my favorite places. Plenty of room so you can be together - but also can get some solitude if you want. We stayed here before and will return again.

Our stay was in August 2021, and included my family of four with two children, 11 and 7, and my parents. The layout of the home consists of a larger living area when you first walk in, the master bedroom, dining area, kitchen, living room, and two bathrooms. Upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms. With both bathrooms on the main level, my parents used the master bedroom. Off of the living room, there is a loft with a futon, and my two boys slept there. The space was plenty, allowing everyone to spread out nicely. There is no central air, but several window units which did ok keeping the house at a somewhat comfortable temperature. There is only one tv in the house, which isn't a bad thing, but if we all wanted to watch a movie at night, it was a bit tight on the one couch to be comfortable. The house is older so a bit dusty, spiders, etc., but that's to be expected and wasn't a concern for us. There is a corner in the living room with tons of brochures from all of Maine, which was really nice for helping us make plans daily. This house is only five minutes from Reid State Park and about eight minutes from the main highway which you would use to travel either north or south. The house is located on the water, but with the tide it was most often mucky because it was out. If you have little ones, there isn't too much yard to run around, and the bank is steep to get down to the water. The beds were very comfortable and we essentially had what we needed for the time that we were there. Thank you!
