Great location, great views, good local restaurants, and there is a lot to do in the area including beaches, history, hikes, bike riding, and kayaking. The Bristol peninsula has a classic Maine feel.

This cottage is a lovely old fashioned Maine cottage with all the modern conveniences that make things easy. The screened front porch was a favorite spot for us. It offers a nice view of the ocean and the window screens kept the space cool during a surprisingly hot stretch of July weather.

A wonderful home away from home!
Cool breezes, shady trees and ocean waves makes this cottage a perfect summer vacation home! The owners clearly love their cottage as well as their guest, making sure that everything is ready and waiting…including many caring little details…like bug spray, and sunscreen. The kitchen has everything you need, whether just assembling or really cooking. The bedroom has a view that makes waking up something to celebrate and the screened in front porch is an excellent place to work on jigsaw puzzles while watching the sunset over the ocean! But the deck is the very best part of staying in this cottage. Rain or a chilly breeze is really the only reason to ever leave it! Pam and Bennett are both generous and gracious hosts, making for a PERFECT stay! We’re already looking forward to next summer! 😊

Location,location,location!
If you’re looking for a cozy cottage with everything you could possibly need and a great location as well as easy access to Boothbay, Camden and Damariscotta., this is it! The sound of the surf pounding across the street with splendid views is the icing on the cake!

Another perfect stay.
We always enjoy this well stocked cozy place. Listening to the surf is so relaxing and it is basicly in the woods. The best of both worlds.

A Hidden Gem
We so much enjoyed this lovely little cottage. It was exactly as described and perfect for our getaway. It was in a tranquil setting with a beautiful view of the ocean. Weather permitting, the deck is so relaxing. The owners were so gracious and had everything we needed waiting for us when we arrived. Thank you, Pamela and Bennet, for sharing you cottage.

Very peaceful and comfortable - hope to return!
We knew this was a gem as soon as we walked in. A large outdoor deck perfect for eating at the table or snoozing in the lounge chairs, a screened porch for sipping morning coffee or eating dinner with the ever-present sound of the waves breaking. The cottage had everything we needed for cooking, and the shower had plenty of hot water and very good water pressure. We slept well on the twin beds. A cozy and obviously well-loved place! It was also perfectly clean and well-aired when we arrived, which we appreciated given current events. I really hope we will come back for a longer stay. The continuous sound of the ocean was the best relaxant you can imagine.

The cottage is small, clean and has a wonderful deck with ocean view.
A double bed would be nice.

Great memories in a great cottage and area in Maine
The cottage I selected was all it was described as being and more. I read the comments of previous guests and realized this was the place for me. Upon arrival, I was delighted in all ways. My 2 favorites of all: coffee on the deck in the a.m. and listening to the sound of the ocean. The New Harbor/Bristol area were unknown to me. It's low key, charming with gorgeous coastline, and flora. Places to see, shops, great food.
I'll definitely rent this wonderful cottage in this wonderful place again.

Wonderful location, property, and surroundings!
My mother stayed here for a weekend getaway and had a wonderful time. The cabin was beautiful, she loved the view, how cozy it was, and the proximity to the ocean and nature trails. She is already planning her return trip! Thanks Pam for a wonderful experience!

Oh the sound!
Staying at the "little cottage" was a marvelous experience The views were wonderful but oh the sound ! The waves crashing on the rocky Maine shore are permanently wired into my very happy brain. This place invites you to nap and rest and when you are ready, the area is great for exploring light houses, charming shops or taking another nap. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen fully equipped and the front porch (closed in with open screened windows) was the place to be. I highly recommend this property to couples or small families.

A lovely cottage by the sea
We had a lovely overnight here. Pam and Bennett made everything extremely easy and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Just a short walk to the Rachel Carson Salt Pond Preserve, which we really enjoyed both in the afternoon and in the morning before we left.

This is the perfect get away. Close enough to touristy stops, far enough to be quiet. My third stay here. . Perfect!

Peaceful Getaway
Cute, cozy, relaxing cottage with wonderful view of the ocean. One day I even got to watch some fisherman pull in their catch with the binoculars thoughtfully provided on the porch.
You can hear the waves, especially at night and the outside space is great. Pam & Bennett were helpful and responded quickly when I had a few questions at the beginning of my stay. The cottage feels like home and was a perfect size for 2 or 3 people. Kitchen is well-equipped and a few cozy spots to sit & read on the porch or rocking chair. It is also very convenient to several attractions, a 10 minute walk to the Rachel Carson Salt Pond, that is if you ever want to leave the porch! I'll be back.

Perfection...
The perfect little getaway cottage! My favorite part was sitting on the deck and taking in the stunning sights & sounds of Maine, it was so serene. The owners, Pam and Bennett, were very welcoming and helpful. Hoping that we can return to the Cozy Cottage again sometime!

Nice Cabin
This cabin would have been perfect if it hadn't been for the swarm of mosquitoes that greeted us the minute we got out of the car. I've never experienced anything like it. It would have been nice if the owners would have let us know about them before hand. My reason for rented here was to enjoy the outdoors and that was not happening. The cabin itself is very nice, clean and comfortable. We had internet service here but you will not be able to use your cell phones.. no service at all. They do have a landline you can use. The owners are very nice, however right next door so not a lot of privacy. We had a dead battery in our rental car and Bennett was very nice to try and jump it.. however ended up having to have Avis bring us another car! We spent two nights.. and traveled to Boothbay for the day which was very nice.. I highly recommend visiting there.

Fall 2018 - Maine Rocky Coast Vacation
We had a great time staying in this rustic cabin overlooking the ocean. The cabin had everything we needed to have a wonderful and restful vacation. We were truly blessed by the owners hospitality, the cabin's comforts,the beautiful ocean view from our deck, the small port community and the many things to do and see in the area.
We traveled around in our car, we hiked almost everyday, and kayaked on one of the many lakes in the local area. We visited the nearest town Damariscotta during their local pumpkin festival which was very nice. The fall colors were beautiful and just starting to peak. Also there are so many state parks and conservation areas to visit it's a great area. Our favorite place was La Verna Preserve which was just gorgeous.
Thank you Pam and Bennett for letting us stay in your cabin we had a great Maine vacation!

Wonderful location , friendly hosts.
This tiny cottage is perfect. A successful experiment in tiny house living. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is here. Pam and Bennett put a lot of thought into furnishing the cottage. Books, games, ice cream scoop, salt and pepper, a few spices, music from our phones on their speaker, they have it covered. Listening to the surf on the rocks is so relaxing. We will be back.

Perfect cottage in a perfect setting
I could write a short novel about this cottage and the surroundings...but I’ll summarize instead. This cottage is a perfect combination of rustic and modern. You’ll want for nothing. If you’re going to this region of Maine and you’ve come across this rental property...save your time and book it now. We stayed 3 nights and found it very difficult to leave. It’s perfect. And the owners are kind, genuine and helpful.

Little Paradise
I didnt get a chance to write a review after our stay here in August 2014. The cottage is absolutely darling and the view is gorgeous. We loved everything about this place. My husband and I stayed here with our daughter and 1 year old grandson. We have vacationed on Pemaquid as renters for over 20 years and stayed in many different places, this cottage was by far one of the nicest places we have stayed. We like to stay in real cottage type houses and this place fit the bill. The place was immaculate. The owners have thought of everything in this quaint compact rustic cottage. We hope to be able to come back here soon.

What a wonderful find!
My family and I returned today from a stay at this lovely cottage. It is EXACTLY as described. Spotlessly clean and all amenities listed, as provided, and communication with / from the owner was very good (quick replies). View of the harbor is wonderful. We can't wait to go back! I can't say enough good things about this little gem.
