We loved staying at the Maine Rose. The beach was fantastic in between the rain storms! We would absolutely stay again.

We enjoyed a serene getaway on the Maine coast. The cottage is rustic but comfortable, clean and well equipped. We loved it and we will be back.

This is our 2nd time staying at the cottage and have enjoyed every minute of it! Our hosts are wonderful and very helpful with our questions for directions, places to eat, etc

We so thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Maine Rose cottage. It was cozy and very comfortable, and the location was awesome. The hosts were very warm and friendly, and we didn't want for a thing. Thank you

I just can’t say enough nice things about this property and the location! The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the beach, breathtaking! My family has been in this area for over 200 years and although I live in Kansas City now, this will always be home to me. If you’re looking for a place to unplug and relax, this is it! There’s a reason my grandmother called it “God’s Country”. My husband and I would definitely stay at the Maine Rose again. Daily walks on the beach, trails nearby, good food. What more can you ask for?

Was looking for a homebase between Acadia National Park and the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse. This fit the bill and then some! The view was beautiful, the place cozy and Dawn & Mark excellent hosts. They anticipated needs, communicated well and were just the sweetest! Definitely a recommendation for friends!

We had a wonderful time walking the beach and exploring. Beautiful sunsets and the stars are amazing. Can't say enough about the hosts - great communication, hospitality and responsiveness.

Great cottage right on the water! Had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Would definitely stay again

Dawn and Mark were so nice and provided us everything we needed to enjoy our stay at the Maine Rose. It was my mom’s first visit to downeast Maine and it was a memorable one. We can’t thank Dawn and Mark enough.

We had a wonderful stay. We really enjoyed walking on the beach. Walk down the path and you’re right there. It can’t get any better than that!

We had a great time spending the days on the beach, swimming, playing boche and Kadima. Nice relaxing spot, quiet too.

We had a wonderful time. We love renting this cottage. It has everything we need. Views are beautiful! Mark and Dawn are so nice. We already booked for next year!

The entire rental experience was amazing! Would highly recommend this place.

This was our 4th stay with Mark & Dawn, first with a new baby and his toddler big sister, and we will absolutely be returning. Perfect location for relaxing and spending beach cottage time with family, or heading out to Roque Island, Machias, Acadia, Jasper Beach,l and other adventures. Thank you so much for another perfect vacation!

The property was as lovely as the hosts were gracious. We had a very pleasant time in this cottage on a stretch of sandy beach looking out at the islands and the bay. We got up every morning to drink our coffee and sit in rocking chairs to watch the sun rise over the water. What a treat for us! Twice each day the tide went out allowing us to walk out to one of the islands and explore what the tide had left behind. The cottage contained everything a family would need to live comfortably. It is furnished with beautiful antiques and decorated with great care. It was beautiful and cozy and exactly like the pictures on the website. I could have spent the summer right there in the cottage and been very happy. We visited Rogue Bluffs Park in Machias and ate our dinner in Machias most nights but that was through choice. It would have been easy to prepare all of our meals in the cottage with its well-supplied kitchen. We visited Eastport and the West Quoddy Lighthouse Park and walked the trails. Otherwise we stayed at the cottage. This was easily the most peaceful vacation we have ever had. Thank you, Mark and Dawn, for sharing this oasis with us. We have used VRBO a number of times to find vacation homes in Europe and now America but this quaint little cottage stands out as my favorite. I hope we are able to return again and again.

Great

Exactly as advertised! Clean, bright, comfortable, everything you need!

Great

From the minute we booked, to leaving today, our hosts communicated with us regarding our stay. The cabin was quaint, well stocked and very clean. We were greeted with flowers, wine and gifts and a congratulatory message. It was the most perfect honeymoon spot. We will definitely be booking this cabin again. There's so much to do locally, we ran out of time. Big thanks to Dawn and Mark for allowing us the much needed quiet time vacation.

We had a very pleasant stay at this place. Mark and Dawn are amazing hosts. Totally recommend this place.

Wonderful week! All parts of process were excellent!

Dawn and Mark were wonderful to rent from. The property was spotless and they had thought of everything, from a fully appointed kitchen (not a utensil, pot, pan or lobster cracker missing - we had everything we needed), to a foot wash for the kids to clean sand off from the beach and a laundry line for their sandy clothes, we had everything we could ask for in a relaxing family getaway. The beds were super comfortable and the view was spectacular. We even had some properly huge LLBean coffee mugs from which to caffeinate as we started our mornings looking out over the sea. It was a truly special vacation. Highly recommend!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Maine Rose beach cottage. Dawn and Mark are thoughtful hosts, welcoming and respectful of our privacy. The cottage is is immaculate, the beach fabulous and thee September weather was delightful. Highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing vacation.
