I don’t think we could have asked for a better place to stay for our first visit to Maine. Hard to beat waking up and going to bed to the sound and smell of the ocean. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The location was great! Centrally located for us to visit all the towns and parks we had hoped to see. I would highly recommend a stay there. If we can manage to get back there I would stay there again.

This cottage was delightful and fully stocked with everything you need to enjoy the coast of Maine. It was cozy and calming, and the view is incredible. The beach is wonderful and secluded, and a great place to find sea glass. The owners were so friendly and responsive and eager to provide more than we needed for our week away. I would definitely come back here, and recommend it to anyone looking for a getaway in Maine!

If you are searching for the most well appointed rental, you’ve found it in Colcord Cottage. Denise and Ernie have thought of everything for their guests. From the gas grill, fully equipped kitchen with everything (and I mean anything) you could possibly need, down to the first aid kit in the bath. I’ve stayed at a lot of different rental properties over the years and this one is towards the top in terms of cleanliness, location and amenities. If we ever make it back to Maine, we will definitely come back here. We had a great time!

The home was clean and well equipped. The view was spectacular and the hosts were gracious and very helpful! We stayed with two little ones (ages 3 and 7) and it was a very enjoyable experience. We will no doubt be returning!!

We loved it here. Denise & Ernie are so lovely and attentive to all needs. We wished there was laundry, but Denise supplies beautiful, lush towels, sheets, and infact everything is new & clean and adorable. The primary bedroom upstairs is especially nice, with an amazing view. I loved exploring the rocky and beautiful cove of a beach. It is wild and beautiful, if slightly treacherous(meaning just not handicapped accessible--and seaweed is very slippery!). Nearby Belfast is so lovely, and proximity to Bar Harbor and beautiful lakes makes this place a great spot to get away but always have something to see if you like. Thanks so much for our stay.

The Colcord Cottage was a delight! Very clean and well equipped. The beach view is really stunning and the deck is perfect for drinks and a relaxing break. Main bedroom is spacious and very comfortable bed. Second bedroom is perfect for 2 kids. Fun time!

Thank you Denise and Ernie for our wonderful stay in Maine. We really enjoyed our first trip to this lovely state, and our boys particularly enjoyed exploring the private beach. The house had everything we could possibly want, and the location was perfect - quiet and close enough to Acadia, kayaking and sailing!

Adorable cottage. Charming! Impeccably clean and well appointed. High guality beds and bedding. Fluffy white towels. Ridiculously well stocked kitchen (Tommy Bahama dishes!). Don’t be put off by the front as you pull off the main road (owner renovating the front house - the cottage is in the back). The magic is the view of the bay as you turn the corner after parking in the driveway and are greeted by an expansive and very private back yard. Great front deck - firepits -spotless grills and stairway to the waters edge! Delightful experience!

Cute little cottage. Beautiful views. Denise has it well stocked and you couldnt want for anything down to fingernail polish remover for the ladies. Only thing missing - sound of the waves unless it is raining and the wind is blowing more than just a breeze. However, you will enjoy watching the red squirrels bringing the berries up on the porch and having a meal or chattering in the trees. Very nice! Convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Colcord cottage was the perfect getaway. We went to Maine for a little escape and for a bonding experience with my kids. The cottage was decorated beautifully. Denise and Ernie were so welcoming and made sure the experience was amazing. The views were spectacular and the location was convenient for exploring. They had a kayak for us to use which we really enjoyed. There were many fond memories made here and I would definitely recommend Colcord Cottage to anyone.

The most beautiful cottage combined with all the comforts of the Westin Hotel made this 5 Stars Hidden treasure on Maine coast with Denise & Ernie as hospitality experts Out of home & gardens LOVE these two & their beautiful property

From the moment you walk in the cottage is warm and inviting. It is impeccably decorated in a classy seaside style. The cottage is well equipped with any item you may need. Every little detail has been thought of! We truly enjoyed spending time here and enjoyed the full kitchen and outdoor grill. Denise and Ernie are wonderful hosts and you can immediately feel the labor of love they have for this cottage!! We cannot wait to return and share with our friends this beautiful property!! Thank you for a wonderful vacation week!!

Having made many, many trips to Maine over the years, we've stayed in a variety of places - Colcord Cottage was truly one of the best. Denise and Ernie are wonderful hosts for this sweet cottage on the bay, they've truly thought of every amenity for the comfort of their guests. The cottage is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and comfortable in every way. We loved being able to sit on the porch in the morning and evenings just soaking in the view. It's so peaceful and relaxing. The sunrises and sunsets were gorgeous from that vantage point. You can also take the steps down to the rocky beach area at low tide and explore, or take advantage of the kayak provided if you're feeling adventurous. The kitchen is fully stocked with every possible need covered - even a crock pot and bakeware! We enjoyed being able to cook and bake while we were there, it was a nice alternative to eating out every meal. Even though there are plenty of good restaurants close by - we especially enjoyed Darby's and The Daily Soup in Belfast, and Crosby's Drive-In in Bucksport had some of the most delicious Fried Haddock ever. The beds were all very comfortable and it was nice to have all the linens provided. There were plenty of fluffy towels for the bathroom too. There is so much more I could add, really, every detail was attended to, it would be hard to mention each one. All in all, it was a near perfect week - we will definitely be back to Colcord Cottage and if you are considering a stay here - do it! Unless it's the week we want to rent that is.... :) Thank you Denise and Ernie for a wonderful stay - you truly understand the meaning of hospitality!

this is a lovely, pretty, very comfortable cottage. there were 4 adults and private bedrooms for the couples. the rest of the house was well-laid out and there's a comfotable deck overlooking the long view of the cove out to sea.... . a perfectly outfitted kitchen and living room looking to the view. a dining room is there, altho we often ate on the deck. there is a large lawn, and for families there are games outside and in, and also outdoor cooking equipment... during the stay, we had a couple glitches with wifi service and hot water (not at all the fault of the owners) with the hosts being immediately responsive to get them fixed quickly. we had no other problems at all.. an extra bonus is being able to easily get a kayak in the water when the tides are right. (and of course, the weather, which during our stay was quite perfect ). i definitely recommend this cottage for a coastal maine waterfront vacation..
