It was a quintessential Maine experience, just what we needed, quiet, dark secluded, with ocean breezes. The cottage was just big enough. Close to many beautiful beaches (but the ones that would accept dogs were limited to one).. Will look forward to returning next year if available. Be sure to bring your insect repellant, the mosquitos are abundant.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong stay at Lilac Cottage. The cottage was very clean, the owners gave us their contact info and were open to being available to us if needed, the WiFi was strong, and the location is fantastic. We got to watch deer and turkeys every day right on the front lawn. We were close to town and the beach but felt like we were secluded. It’s a great private location that allows for true rest and relaxation. I highly recommend staying here.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience! James and Mark were both very professional, friendly, and responsive. The cabin was clean, and everything worked. The property was perfect for me because it was a short drive to great Maine towns, coastal beaches and some amazing hiking AND there we no neighbors anywhere close by — so my dog, Fern, was able to really stretch her legs on the property. I very much look forward to returning!

Enjoyed our stay at Lilac Cottage immensely. Would return in an instant. A classic, clean as a whistle, Maine cottage on a hill in the midst of spruce and pine. A totally private, quiet setting yet minutes from Bath, Reid State Park, Five Islands Lobster Co. -- what more could one ask. Two wicker rocking chairs on a lovely porch. Well equipped. Reasonably priced. Good WiFi. Good heat. The owner and property manager were extraordinarily solicitous, accessible, friendly. We will be back to Lilac!

It was a wonderful stay in the cabin in the woods. The owner and manager went out of their way to make it a great time. They were patient and very informative with all our questions about the area. The cabin was very quiet and our dog loved it as well. Highly recommend.

The cottage was very welcoming, clean, quiet and well maintained. The setting provides both privacy and close proximity to attractions and shopping needs. Maine is very beautiful and the cottage provides a good home base for exploration of the area. The owner was very responsive to all communication.

The Lilac Cottage was a wonderful home base for my wife, dog and I. James made everything really easy and the cottage had everything we needed for our stay. The porch in and of itself makes this place worth it, the surroundings are peaceful and youre so close to the mid-coast destinations you want to explore. We would highly recommend it and wed love to return someday. Thanks again James!

We had a wonderful time. The cottage was very clean and I always over pack but so much was provided even OJ,milk and water and everything you needed for a stay more like a hotel then a rental. Charming grounds which I bet are more beautiful in the fall. we have been to Maine quite a few times and always enjoy going to all the Pretty harbor towns. Thank You so much for sharing your cottage.

Very clean pleasant home

I picked this cabin, because of it's proximity to all the places I wanted to take day trips to. I had no idea what the area was like and boy was I surprised! The cabin is just a few minutes from Bath which may just be my new favorite place in Maine (okay I still love Acadia National Park)! When we arrived everything was ready for us, there was even coffee, tea and OJ in the fridge, what a wonderful way to welcome guests. The Cabin is just perfect for a couple looking to get away from it all. It has everything you need, but our favorite part has to be the front porch. Whether you are coming home from site seeing or a day of hiking, the porch is a great place to unwind and have a cocktail, beer or a cup of coffee in the morning. In Bath there are plenty of good restaurant for breakfast and dinner, along with plenty of cute one of a kind shops. You are also a days trip away from Boothbay Harbor to the North, Freeport, Old Orchard Beach, Portland and Kennebunkport to the south. All are worth a trip, but if you go to Freeport you must stop in When Pigs Fly Breads! They have about 2 dozen or more fresh baked breads that are to die for. Also try their garlic oil for dipping! All in all I couldn't be happier with my choice of renting the cabin. It was everything I expected and more.

My wife and I enjoyed a great week at this secluded cabin. It was hidden away enough that we could enjoy watching the wild turkeys walk through the yard from the porch but close enough to major restaurants and other areas of interest. A comfortable and relaxing cabin with everything provided that was stated. When we arrived the Weber Grill was ready to go with two bags of charcoal.

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage and appreciated that it was dog-friendly. The cottage was clean and well maintained. A perfect spot for a quiet relaxing getaway and close enough to get into town with a short drive.

My stay at the what I call the cabin in the woods was very enjoyable. The cabin is very comfortable and has every thing you need for an extended vacation. The location is great near Bath Maine and close to other locations in the area. On many occasions you can see deer and other animals going through the property.
