We had a great week at this property, doing just what we wanted, which wasn't much. We needed to relax, reconnect and recharge and that's just what we did. The cottage is beautiful and the property is gorgeous. There is something to do for every age and plenty to see in the area. Thank you so much for sharing your property with us!!

This property is amazingly beautiful and eerily mysterious at the same time. House was comfortable. It’s set back from the water, but you can still hear the waves from the porch and in the bedrooms with the windows open. Weather and water both felt unpredictable. Sun shining one min and the next the fog rolls in. We did not swim or kayak from the property as the water’s pull was very strong and it felt unsafe with the kids. We had a wonderful time exploring the property and all its trails, which are excellently maintained and clearly marked. We road our bikes to and from the pavilion and the kids enjoyed riding up and down the pavement of Little Machias Rd. We also enjoyed exploring a few towns in the area, such as Machias, Lubec and Eastport. Went swimming at Roque Bluff and even caught the sun rise one morning at West Quoddy Head Lighthouse! We had a fabulous vacation exploring the Bold Coast of Maine.

Wonderful place, unique, and comfortable for a small family. Thank you for letting our pet enjoy staying with us.

This was a very beautiful property. We felt blessed to stay here and thoroughly enjoyed the trails and nature and privacy. Can't wait to return!

This is our third trip here, over the years. We love the Bold Coast area of Maine, and staying at SeaLedges. A perfect place to enjoy nature, the ocean, and to relax. It was great to be back, and we'll look forward to returning some time in the future.

We had the best experience renting the Sealedges! The owners were super friendly, and the property managers were incredible! Everything was what was advertised, we will go back happily!

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Sea Ledges. After the last difficult 18 months, we needed to get away to just relax and recharge. Sitting on the rocks or in the pavilion does just that. We love the Cutler area and hope to return again.

We spent two weeks at Sea ledge and enjoyed every moment! The property is amazing-other than grocery shopping, there is no reason to leave! We spent much time exploring all the different trails on the property and lots of time on Cobble Beach watching the tides, seals and eagles. If you are looking for peace and quiet and beauty, this is the place!

Very comfortable cottage on 172 acres on the coast. Whether sunny or "Cutler foggy", we were at peace in God's beautiful place at Sea Ledges. Staying on the property we enjoyed trails along the coast cliffs. Off-property, day-trips were easy to Machias, Jonesport, Lubec, and elsewhere in Downeast Maine. Property owners and property manager were THE BEST! This is our second year and we shall return.

We had a lovely stay and Leslie and her caretaker were lovely. My only complaint was the furnishings in the sunroom which are in need of replacing and uncomfortable, which is a shame because it's the best view in the house! My dogs loved chasing a ball on the lawn and met the nieghbors golden puppy and had fun. I went to the cobbled beach and chilled. So beautiful.

Exactly as described, like staying on a private preserve. Perfect for birders and other wildlife watchers. We enjoyed the trails every day, took full advantage of other nearby trails and preserves. Splurged on the local seafood. Few tourists around, mostly working fishing villages. The cottage was comfortable and charming, a welcome retreat each evening, going to sleep to the sound of surf and waking up to the same. This was Maine as I always imagined it.

This was our second time in a year at this property. Last year, we visited at the end of July and loved it. This year, we went mid June. Still fabulous, but the weather was completely different. Mid June is flower blooming season. There were millions of Lupines, wildflowers, wild iris, lilacs, pink weigelas and yellow lilies everywhere. And along with the flora come the hummingbirds. We would sit on the enclosed porch watching the hummingbirds draw nectar from the weigela bushes. We walked the Bold Coast trail and saw White Lady Slipper Orchids in the forest. We also did the Western Trail near the lobster place in the harbor. And we did a few of our favorite hikes on the Sea Ledges property. I brought my favorite saute pan because I wanted to create some elevated lobster dishes this time. One thing the cottage lacks is good quality cooking equipment (pots and knives). And lobster prices were double what they were last summer. Another bonus of our trip was the activity from a commercial shoot going on at the property next door on our last day. There are so many things that we love about this property and this part of Maine. Lots of great memories. Thank you, Leslie.

We stayed in this nice little house for a week. It is located on a beautiful preserve that is expertly maintained by Mike. Mike or his wife check on you the day you arrive to make sure you find everything and to offer any last minute tips. The kitchen has plenty of plates, pots, pans, and utensils. Everything you need for cooking lobster is also included. The house is quaint. Now I must mention the mosquitoes. We could not put on enough "off" to keep them away. Previous guests suggested the hats and netting. We had none so maybe that helps. We had a great week. It was a little warm the first few days and since their is no air, the upstairs bed rooms get a little warm but once you open the window and turn on the fan they cool off some. If you are going out on the water bring layers, it gets quiet cool. You won't regret visiting here .

The house was in a nice location, especially if you’re looking to get far away from the hustle & bustle & the grounds provided ample exploring. In addition, there were a lot of brochures about the area & places to visit. The king bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. It was chilly in the last week of May / first week of June when we were there and, as requested, we limited our use of the thermostats—which compromised our general comfort somewhat & we certainly appreciated the blankets & throws. We were also discouraged from using too much water & we did notice that the water pressure was low. We ended up buying bottled water to drink & cook with—because the water was very cloudy. The kitchen was otherwise well-stocked & meal-prep was easy. We did run out of toilet paper and could not find more, so we ended up buying some. We were not fans of the stuffed birds hanging on the wall in the living room or what felt to us like in-your-face religious décor (e.g. the prayer magnet on the fridge, the large decorative Bible on the dresser in the master bedroom, the “prayers-go-up-and-blessings-come-down” craft in the upstairs bathroom, plus the explicit religious proselytizing in the typed notes for guests. For us, the lighting in the house felt dark—especially on dark, foggy days & at night, but we recognize that others may have found the lighting cozy & romantic. On the whole, it was a lovely house on the Downeast Maine coast.

We had a wonderful time! The views were stunning! The private hiking trails were breathtaking! Mr. Mike was very friendly and answered any questions we had. The fresh lobster was so good! We can’t wait to come back and experience more of Maine!

Our family needed to get out into the wilderness, away from people and back to nature. This place was the destination for us. We are all working remotely and kids are in school remotely due to COVID. All of us were able to work on the remarkably strong wi-fi, even on Zoom calls, and we never lost connection. After school each day, we took hikes on the trails, explored, and tried to take everything in. Daily sunsets and sunrises were some of our favorites-wildlife spotting, and the purest of pine tree smells surrounded us every day. We couldn’t have been happier. This is a little piece of heaven. We are just thankful that we could share it for a couple weeks.

We arrived to find the house sparkling clean - so nice! Evidence of how compassionately and sensibly our hosts, the Winns, took these strange times. Our days were spent watching turkeys wander around the front grounds while sipping tea or just sitting by the water's edge and inhaling the cool ocean breeze. We explored the many trails on the property and delighted in the the wildlife, wildflowers and foliage. Relaxed at the pavilion and waved to the seals and watched the local lobster boats putter by while eagles soared overhead. Got swept up in the canopy of stars on clear nights and strolled along in the light of the harvest moon. Hiked the bold coast trails and ventured into the Main Heritage conservation properties. Of course many lobsters were devoured purchased from Little River Lobster Co. just minutes away . Helen's, blueberry pie is a must and well-worth the short drive to Machias. The property was beautiful and well maintained by the caretaker who was kind to check in on us and answer any questions we had. If you're looking for peace and quiet, beauty and serenity in a comfortable and cozy house then you've found it. You won't want to come home!

Had a very nice relaxing vacation. Beautiful trails with beautiful views of Maine’s rugged coast line. Had quite a bit of fog and very little rain. Had a least3 good sunny days with unrestricted views. All in all an excellent stay!

The Seaward Cottage is the base for this 170+ acre property on the coast of Downeast Maine. The property manager, Mike, does an outstanding job in cottage maintenance and providing information. He also maintains the acreage and its miles of scenic trails even with trail markers. One trail destination is the Pavilion overlooking the coast. Many of the trails are for careful walking but this one could be driven to which was good for us 70-year-olds. The Pavilion was screened in and had picnic tables inside. Also, it has a huge rock fire pit to do a lobster-clam-seafood bake. The stars at night and serenity were wonderful, only occasionally interrupted by seals barking... but that's a good thing. We were able to use the sun porch for our arts (watercolor painting) and crafts setup with great natural light.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Sea Ledges. There were so many different trails to walk. (Reminder to bring bug spray and a mosquito net for your head). The scenery was incredible, so much so that we decided not to go to Arcadia and just walk more trails on the private property. Every day we spent time at the pavilion reading and watching the sea. We had lobster for dinner almost every night. We took one day trip to Lubec and Quoddy, but just to walk around, because most everything was closed due to the virus. We felt safe at the house. Unfortunately we did not see seal or moose, but it might have been the time of year. The property manager was around most days if we had a question or needed something. The property is very big, but private. It is a special place.

We were looking for a remote location where we could enjoy family and nature without the worry of being around people during the pandemic. What a location! We explored all of the beautiful trails on the property - like a magical wooded wonderland. We enjoyed days at the pavilion, gorgeous views of the coast, and relaxed and refreshed in simplicity. Our teen daughter was also participating in an online leadership program and the WiFi worked great!

Very quiet location. Property was spotless. I wish we had more time to explore the trails on the property but maybe next time!

To be able to enjoy such an expansive property with such diverse nature at that price point was a treat. My dog loved it too.

This was my first stay at this property and I can say that it won't be my last!! I had gazed longingly at the pictures in the listing for 2 months before, but when I arrived, I was even more awestruck! I immediately relaxed, the cottage was immediately comfortable and I fell immediately in love. The entire property is like having your own private state park to wander in and explore. The ocean views are stunning and the beautiful trails give you plenty of adventure and exercise. My all time favorite spot was sitting on the deck of the pavilion and watching the seals float around lazily in front of the island. A few bald eagles would soar in and land on the island for a bit. Hundreds of dragonflies darted about in an acrobatic flurry of activity, an airshow like no other. The weather was perfectly pleasant, sunny and in the 70's and I was perfectly happy not leaving the property at all! This is bliss! The only disappointing thing was having to leave such a wondrous place. But I hope to return............ Until then, I will gaze longingly at all the photos I now have of a very special place in my memory and my heart.

Our week at Sea Ledges was a little piece of heaven for our family. The cottage was clean and comfortable and the property was beautiful, with endless opportunities to explore the wild outdoors. We only left twice for a few hours, including once for a whale watch out of Lubec (also incredible), and we still couldn't get enough. We hiked, climbed on the rocks by the water, explored tide pools, picked wild blueberries, stargazed at night, flew a kite, watched the wildlife, and so much more. We made so many fun memories together that will last a life time. Our four boys didn't want to leave, and we sure hope to be back again someday soon! Thank you for sharing Sea Ledges with us!

Nice people, charming house, spectacular property to explore with many hiking trails -- perfect!

The Sea Ledges house was charming and very clean - we really enjoyed relaxing in the screened in porch and at the well-lit kitchen table. We love cooking most of our own meals on vacation and the kitchen had pretty much every utensil, tool, pot, pan, and bowl imaginable. Cooking a bunch of lobster was a breeze. The grill just outside the porch worked well and was easy to use too. We slept very well each night on comfortable beds, in wonderfully cool August temperatures, to the distant sound of the ocean (and occasional seal!). We were delighted at how kid-friendly the Sea Ledges home was too. There were not many knick-knacks or ornaments that our three and six year old could knock over and break. The irony of all this is that we spent very little time in the house - the property it's on is stunning and we spent about three of our seven days in Cutler exploring it. The seaside and forested trails on the property are glorious and your own - they are marked too, and the occasional surprise picnic table appears in perfect spots for a family meal if you're smart and bring one along. We delighted in many a family lunch overlooking the ocean in complete isolation. Bringing along rain boots and jackets proved smart as some of our days were cool and foggy and it made for excellent hiking along the lush forested floor and rocky beachfront. It was also the perfect spot for our bikes as our kids are just learning to ride and the short private road and a few suitable side trails were just enough to get some good short practice in (we are in better shape today due to some of the short steep inclines). Another highlight were all the fresh blueberries we picked on property and ate along with anything we could throw them in back at home. Day trips to Campobello Island in Canada, St. Andrews by the Sea, and several beaches closer to the home were easy (and quite different from one another). I could go on, but will simply end by highly recommending this property.

We had a wonderful stay at the Sea Ledges property in Cutler, Maine. Words cannot describe the beautiful scenery. We enjoyed sitting in the front porch watching the lobster boats in the morning, followed by a daily hike to the pavilion to scout out treasures washed ashore from the high tide. We also found that the Sea Ledges is an excellent home base to take day trips to Machias, Eastport, Bangor and Bar Harbor. The property we very clean and we felt very comfortable. I highly recommend a stay at the Sea Ledges - it’s a hidden jewel.

This is a beautiful property and we enjoyed waking up to sounds of the ocean. A short walk from the front door to overlook the water was an awesome start to our family activities. We spent a late night playing UNO in the sunroom laughing and recalling the day trips into town and to the beaches. Thank you!

This is our third stay at this sweet little cottage. It has all the comforts of home and is located on a gorgeous spot with lots of private hiking trails. It's very close to Cutler Harbor where you catch the Puffin cruise through Bold Coast Cruises, which is always one of our reasons for going to Cutler. The location, about halfway between Machias and Lubec, is also very convenient for us because we love going out to eat seafood at the great restaurants both towns have to offer. We also enjoy the many other activities in the area. Our week flew by!

The cottage is very clean and Sealedges is great for outdoors activities. Really enjoyed our stay.
