We loved our stay at the Holme’s cottage...small morning excursions to conservation land with our dog, afternoons of quiet reading behind the house,....interrupted only by a flycatcher’s eager back and forth to a nearby nest. The evenings were cozy indoors surrounded by books and antiques. Outside the fireflies were competing with the stars. We ate local seafood every night. Round Pond Village is as friendly as ever, and the peninsula has plenary of natural beauty and history to explore. Heather and Chris were most welcoming and helpful. We were sad to leave and hope to return.

We loved it -- even better than last year. Thanks!

To step on this ground of granite outcropping surrounded by towering pines and then inside this cabin that is filled with items of wonder and rooms of books is to enter a sanctuary, a place of peace. My husband and I and our English Springer Spaniel are grateful to Heather and Chris for sharing their incredible family cabin. I walked to town for coffee and bakery, hiked with Zach down to the rocky shore (he swam; I did not), explored the peninsula, ate fine meals, read good books, rested and got a chance to just BE. We loved our time at the Holme cabin and would recommend it to anyone. Heather and Chris are wonderful hosts and kind and generous with the gift of this place.

We had such a wonderful time at BassRock cabin with the whole family - nice secluded place with a gorgeous view of Muscongus Bay and only a light roll down to both the BassRock Preserve and the lobster pond(s) in Round Pond, which is a quaint little town with antique and ice cream shops as well as some cafés, bakeries, fresh produce farms, and Granite Hall! - I won't recommend this place to avoid competition next time we want to come and stay there!

We fell in LOVE with Bass Rock cabin! A jumble of rooms with all kinds of nooks and crannies...a collection of antiques and curiosities placed in the most delightful corners...bookcases at every turn filled with a plethora of categories!!! The views of Muscongus Bay are outstanding...but so are the moonrise, the array of stars and the sunrise. Restful, tranquil and perfect place to recharge the batteries....but if you aren't reluctant to leave at the end of your stay, then you must not have an appreciation for all things Maine!!! We recommend visiting the village, the Pemaquid Lighthouse, Maine Coast Botanical Garden and a day trip to Monhegan Island...5 stars all around!!! But best of all was the hospitality from Heather & Chris!!! They have shared an absolutely unique and beautiful spot and we feel VERY lucky to have found them!!!

We have rented the Holme cottage on 4 occasions dating back to 2008, and most recently in August of 2015. We have been there with as many as 6 people and also when there was just the two of us. A great "quiet getaway" location. Read, cook, walk, talk and snooze....it's great for the basics. Lobster and clam dinners on the wharf are a beautiful walk away, and the antique and ice cream locations, and fresh-daily bakery are also just a walk away. Eclectic is the right word, the choice of reading is stunning, and the early-mid 20th century decor is ideal Maine restful. Beach and ocean cruises are 12 minutes away by car.
