About this house rental

Yellow Dog Cottage is on a dead end road located in a sunny clearing right at the ocean’s edge. Out front is a cove that forms a network of tidal pools at low tide that are great for exploring. It's a comfortable, peaceful and relaxing place to spend your vacation.

The house has an open floor plan with a fireplace in the living room that opens onto an well-equipped, eat-in kitchen with everything you’ll need to feel at home. The sun porch off the kitchen has windows on 3 sides and 180-degree water views and is great for reading, eating, relaxing, and playing cards, board games and doing puzzles.

You can enjoy fresh-caught lobsters delivered to our dock by our caretaker who lobsters in the bay off the house.
Outside, we have a gas grill, picnic table, outdoor fireplace and Adirondack chairs down by the water’s edge. We have our own ramp and float, a deep-water mooring in front of the house, and a natural boat launch that great for putting in kayaks and canoes.

We're located just off Muscongus Bay, which boasts some of the best kayaking, sailing, and motoring on the coast of Maine and is just minutes away by boat. Town, with local supermarkets, cafes, gas stations, and drugstores and the famous Moody's Diner, are about 20 minutes away by car.

We welcome your well-behaved dog with prior approval and an additional fee -- please inquire. Smoking is not permitted anywhere inside the house or on the porches.

Conveniently located halfway between Friendship and Waldoboro, it's an easy day trip to all of coastal Maine's attractions. It's just 45 minutes to Boothbay Harbor, and the Camden, Rockland, and Rockport areas. It's 90 minutes to L.L. Bean, Freeport's outlet shopping, Popham Beach, and Reid State Park, and just two hours to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.

Lovely cottage with a great kitchen and a glorious spot to watch sunsets over the ocean with 11 foot tides adding drama to the view! I look forward to staying again! And God bless Harlan - the world’s finest lobsterman and his gorgeous dog Angel!

This property outdid our expectations. The house was immaculate and the overall ambiance was homey. The view was spectacular. Watching the wildlife and the lobster men plus the tide’s ebbing was so relaxing. Sitting outside and not hearing anything but birds was a respite from the world’s chaos. Truthfully this place is a piece of heaven.

Great property with multiple spaces for hangout; plenty of room for a large family. The house is right on the water, and the beauty of the surrounding area, as well as quiet and calm cannot be matched. Quick responses from the owner on any questions. Nearby handyman also catches and delivers lobsters right to your door. Excellent experience; would love to come back!

Cozy dog friendly waterfront cottage with excellent access for kayaking and fishing from convenient dock. Outdoor fire pit facing west provides ambiance all day especially sunsets. Only issue we had was that a new home was being constructed at the end of the peninsula and the tranquility of our experience was interrupted by the constant parade of huge dump trucks roaring past the house located 30 feet from the road. Otherwise we had a fantastic vacation. The owners of the property are excellent and very responsive.

As a couple and then as a family, we have been coming to Maine for 30+ years. We love the mid-coast/Penobscot area. This house is lovely and a perfect location if you like quiet and privacy. Beds were comfortable. Communication with owner was above & beyond. Hope to return here.

Thank you for sharing your home with us. From the moment we drove into the home, the view was stunning. Everyday we spent hours sitting on the dock, fishing, kayaking, watching the eagles and listening to the all the birds. We ate dinner each night outside on the picnic table, played board games and did puzzles in the sun room. We truly need this reset and this home was the very retreat we needed. We are looking forward to booking with you again - this home had everything we needed and desired. Thank you a million times over for this experience. Looking forward to more future adventures at your home! Thank you kindly, The Oliver Family

Amazing stay

Amazing stay

The property did not disappoint- from the view of the lobster fisherman tending their traps, to the fire pit overlooking the water and sunset and the fresh lobster meal, this was our favorite place we stayed in Maine. The house was spacious and the kitchen was well appointed. Do not hesitate to book this place! Harlen also made our experience special by making sure we had fresh lobster and prepared it correctly!

Magical week at Yellow Dog Cottage

Magical week at Yellow Dog Cottage

Yellow Dog cottage is a lovely, comfortable, dog-friendly (but of course) cottage in a beautiful part of the world. Room for our family - grandparents, adult children, grandchildren, and dogs. Cottage is well cared for, hosts and manager (a charming lobsterman from whom we bought lobsters for the big house pot) friendly, helpful, and responsive. We swam from the dock and rocky little beach at high tide, watched sunsets, explored the area. Our own bit of heaven for a week on the rocky coast of Maine.

Couldn't have asked for better!

What an amazing property! The house was so well furnished, so clean and perfectly cozy. The caretaker and owner were both friendly and available as needed. My family had such an incredible week with many new memories made over board games and the fire pit. The private dock was serene and terrific for early morning coffee or late evening sunsets. Just perfect!

Fabulous vacation!

Fabulous vacation!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to spend a week in the fall. The Yellow Dog Cottage was immaculate and had everything we could ask for to make our stay comfortable and convenient. I will miss my mornings in the Adirondack chairs drinking coffee, watching the lobster fisherman at work. Even our dog was in heaven! We explored the surrounding areas and spent a day hiking on day on Monhegan Island, which was wonderful. The Robsons made this an unforgettable week, and we are grateful that they shared their lovely home with us. We highly recommend this location!

All the comforts of home with a beautiful location. Wonderful views, especially from the living room. Spacious kitchen for cooking and access to a large grill. Cold nights were warmed by an outside fire pit and indoor fireplace. Would recommend this house without hesitation.

We had a relaxing two-week stay at the Yellow Dog House with its beautiful setting right on the water in a quiet neighborhood. It's a great area for long walks, biking and kayaking. The house is very comfortable and well-equipped. Our dogs loved exploring on the rocks and swimming.

great warefront location..... Very peaceful, and quiet, make you want to move to Waldoboro. Sunsets are fabulous. House in good condition, wifi, cable, dishwasher, TV, mattress we slept on was better than most. A Dog friendly property Short ride to Beths farm in Warren, great veggies, fruit, local meats, and even fresh lobster. Day trips to Boothbay, Camden for delicious options to eat. We tried TAKA .Mediterranean, Shuck station for great fresh local oysters, Claws for take out seafood, Jameson closer to the camp. Rock city roasters, and flipside for expresso and breakfast options. Ate our share of Lobstah, scallops and even some steamers. Great week to relax and unwind during these unprecedented times.

Very clean and comfortable house. Lots of room, great water view from the big living room picture window, porch and yard. The house itself is a bit noisy (buzzing, humming sound of pump or something) but didn't keep us from sleeping. Overall a great base for exploring the surrounding towns of Camden, Rockland, Boothbay, etc. Don't miss the Farnsworth museum and Olson House tours if your a Wyeth fan.

We visited off-season -- too cold to go swimming, but a wonderful waterfront location where you can watch the lobster boats, watch and hear the loons and enjoy the fall colors and lovely sunsets. A very comfortable and well stocked, cozy home.

Nice house in a great location

The cottage is well appointed with beautiful views of the water. The caretaker, who lives up the road, was a great help and source of local lobster. The house is private while being close to lots of things to do. We would definitely stay at the cottage in the future.

The property was spacious clean and ready to move into when we arrived. There was a booklet of area restaurants and attractions which we found useful. We loved looking out the living room and watching the lobster boats. We had never been to Maine before and we loved it! Thanks so much for the comfortable cottage.

From the view of the water from the dock and shoreline to the comfort of the cottage to the people we met, we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. We were in Maine for the fall colors and it was nothing less than spectacular. The surrounding area provided beautiful scenary as well. The cottage fit 4 adults with plenty of extra room. It had all the amenities of home. Acadia National Park was a popular location for the weekend and the views were breathtaking. Definitely a place we would return to.

Comfortable, well maintained home. Great views and right on the bay. Being rual, it's a peaceful setting and a bit of a drive to the usual tourist sites. Had lobsters delivered right to our door by the lobstering care taker who expounded on the craft and the charge was delightfuly fair. We are happy to recommend the Yellow Dog vrbo.

Wonderful vacation cottage

Wonderful vacation cottage

Our family of five had a wonderful stay at Yellow Dog Cottage. The setting is beautiful and the cottage is very comfortable and clean. Waldoboro is close enough to other towns and activities that daily adventures in the area are plentiful and easy to get to. We loved staying here, Katherine is very responsive and kind as is the local manager, Harlan, who supplies fresh lobster (if requested) and is extremely helpful if necessary. Our children range in age from 13 to 22 and we would all agree that this was our favorite vacation to date. We highly recommend Yellow Dog Cottage.

This is such a special place for our family. After ten years we returned and everything was perfect...even the weather! Such a comfortable home with space to spread out and enjoy the view, or relax inside by the fire. Fresh lobster delivery is a nice bonus! Catherine and her colleagues are so generous and hospitable. We look forward to returning in the future.

We so enjoyed staying at Katherine’s cottage! It was so comfortable and cozy, and the waterfront views were phenomenal! We enjoyed a fire in the fireplace every night and even used the outside fire pit one evening. If I’m lucky enough to get to Maine again, I know where I want to stay....HERE! Clean, nicely appointed, comfortable, and beautiful views. Everything you need or want!
