We enjoyed our stay at this little cabin. We liked the deck overlooking the water for our morning coffee. We didn't prepare any meals here other than cold breakfasts but there is a kitchen with plenty of pots and pans available. There are tons of local lobster shacks and restaurants nearby. I highly recommend visiting Pemaquid Seafood, south Bristol lobsterman's wharf and Shannon's unshelled express in Boothbay if you want great lobster. We also visited Glidden oyster farm and learned about oyster farming. Pemaquid lighthouse was also a great place to visit while you're in the area.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this cozy, private little cabin, which looks out over the water from what is perhaps the best site in mid-coast Maine. We made liberal use of the deck for meals, reading and relaxing and explored the estuary from the two kayaks provided. The owners, who operate an event space on the property, are cordial and responsive. We look forward to coming back.

From the moment we arrived at the cottage we fell in love with the location, the large private deck on the water and the charm of the interior. The large picture window that overlooked the deck provided an excellent opportunity to view a living work of art. The large fireplace, fully furnished kitchen and touches of decorative items placed inside added to the homey feel. The fan provided cooling from the late morning sun. The owners were wonderful being informative and supportive. We have already made plans to return to this gem next year!!

We returned to Poorhouse Cove because we loved it last August. We still love it. A perfect couples getaway in a rustic, well appointed and clean cabin. The deck is amazing.

If you want QUIET, this is the perfect place. All we could hear was the sounds of the ocean. Loved waking up to the sound of boats and sea life. At high tide the deck is actually OVER the water. You seriously can’t get closer to the ocean than this. AND- they don’t cheap out on the toilet paper! 😜

I did not think properties like this still existed!! The cabin is perfectly nostalgic yet covers all bases of modern conveniences (no TV, never missed it). And then there’s the view!!!! The water is right outside and the picture window and large deck accommodate this beautifully. The location is close to several small quaint towns with eateries and shops that exude Maine. As beautiful as this cabin’s front yard is, you may just choose to stay and soak it in. The owners are available, yet they stay back and respect your privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we truly hope to return again…and stay longer.

A peaceful, magical retreat where great blue heron hang out and an occasional seal visits. A place where sky and water greet you when you wake and soothe and entertain you throughout your stay. A quiet, secluded and charming cabin. The peninsula’s in the area are easy to explore and steeped with history and beauty. Great food is easy to find and the locals are friendly and helpful.

In our experience this is one of the most beautiful places we have visited. The cabin on the cove was private, with an amazing view from the windows and large deck. We enjoyed the kayaks but mainly watching the tides, birds wood duck family and shooting stars. The cabin was as described, with a well equipped kitchen and a comfortable bed. A perfect couple getaway. Lots of wonderful trails and places to eat lobster.

We had a wonderful time here. The cabin is right on the water, and there was an abundance of wildlife to watch. The location in S Bristol was perfect for us- we have friends and family here- and like to be able to get on the water and get groceries with ease. The cabin itself is magical, and it felt like stepping inside a folk tale. The doorways are low, as is common in old Maine homes. My husband is tall, so we put bright tape up to remind him to duck- an easy fix!

Our stay was incredible. The property was in a perfect spot to watch the sunrise, spot bald eagles and seals on the harbor, and relax over a long weekend. The cabin is gorgeous, with a beautiful deck that serves as a perfect place for breakfast, lunch, and evening drinks. 15/10.

What a delightful spot in a beautiful, historic cabin right on the water. Our hosts, Mark and Kim were stellar and we thoroughly enjoyed an exceptional meal at the curated restaurant, The Patio. Lovely!

This cozy waterfront cabin directly on the water was a perfect getaway for my husband and I. Lots of peace and quiet, comfortable bed, free use of 2 kayaks off the private dock on the property, beautiful hiking trails less than 10 minutes drive away, and about 45 minute drive to Boothbay. Our host Rick was warm and friendly and accessible if we had any questions. We love this area of Maine and our stay was wonderful!

Charming Cottage on the Water. This place has adorable vintage vibes (from the fairy land feel of the moss on the stairs to the vaulted wooden interior) but is clean and well cared for. The view across the water is lovely, and the waters are calm and quiet, making it a peaceful place to use the quality kayaks. We woke up each morning and had coffee on the expansive deck, ventured out during the day, and ended the evening dining on fresh lobster outside near the water in several of the neighboring towns. The owner is communicative and so generous to share this special spot.

Loved our stay at the cabin! It was so quiet and relaxing. You don't really notice how much noise pollution exists in our daily lives until the incessant background din is gone, and you can finally truly relax and listen to the wind in the trees and the sounds of nature. We slept so well here, in part because of the quiet, but also the bed is sooo comfy! We kayaked around the bay 3 times, and once a seal popped up out of the water 20 feet in front of my husband. It was great! Communication with the hosts was super easy, everything went smoothly and we would love to stay here again. One thing to note, there are no keys to the cabin, which was fine, but was surprising coming from a city where you're always watching behind you... It does lock from the inside with a deadbolt for at night. It was fine, we felt safe, it was just different than we are used to. Thanks for the great stay!

After years of vacationing in Maine we finally found the perfect place for us. An "astonishingly cozy" cottage on an incredibly peaceful cove. Secluded and private yet just a short drive from an abundance of engaging activities. Hosts Rick, Mark and Kim struck a great balance between being responsive to our needs and respecting our privacy. Hours before we arrived, Mark upgraded the wifi allowing for seamless streaming. We felt the love and life lived in this cottage thru past generations. It felt like 'home'. We so enjoyed the new expansive deck outside, shaded most of the afternoon, and the large picture windows inside allowing for panoramic views of the water and the ever-changing sky. And the STARS!!! We found our hearts full of the peace that nature provides. We left "refreshed and reset". And we'll be back!

Solitude, silence, and peace. If you are looking to leave the weight of the world behind, this is the place. Old world Maine is what we prefer, the wood frame and early decor of turn of the turn of the century cottages - and the way life used to be. Including before television and internet. While I’m sure they’ll improve (the spotty) internet at this cottage - I almost prefer they don’t! This little hideaway is tucked away from neighbors - I think there are some, but you can’t tell from there. The orientation of the cottage is entirely on the view of the quiet expansive cove, with its beautiful stillness, a few herons, eagles and terns, the ebb and flow of the tides, and a sailboat that never leaves. If you need a place to think, this is it. But if you need to venture out, everything “Maine” is within a short drive. Damariscotta for shopping, Pemaquid Light for Maine’s iconic ocean views, local lobster shacks - everywhere - even a “secret” restaurant close by :) And Maine humanity is everywhere. Strike up a friendly conversation with anyone and you’ll find it. The cabin is well equipped in old Maine cottage style. It is not a “burb” house on the water. It’s a lovely renovated cabin with atmosphere and a view - from inside or outside on the deck. There are even kayaks available for use. Can’t thank the owners of this Paradise enough for sharing their special place. We will return.
