We celebrated

The house was fabulous. Great for hanging out, cooking as a group, and comfortable sleeping. Perfect location. Walkable to a beach and a short drive to towns with restaurants and shopping.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting -- perfect for our family!

We have been renting Donna's cottage regularly for several years now. It is a wonderful, special place. Donna does an amazing job keeping it fresh and welcoming. We had friends from home stop by this year (who happen to have their own lovely cottage on the Pemaquid Peninsula), and they raved about the setting, the decor, and the charm of the cottage. We will be back next year!

The house was immaculate and very well equipped. We packed way more than we needed. The bedrooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was great. The Wi-Fi was more than adequate for our needs. Very close to great shops and restaurants in Rockland, Camden, etc. Walmart only 3 miles away. We had a great stay, and would go back in a heartbeat.

We loved staying in this secluded and spacious cottage. I could have watched the tide and sea birds forever. An easy 10 min drive to Rockland where there is plenty to do, the house were perfect for cooking, reading, relaxing. We had days of rain and fog - so especially appreciated the interior spaces. Donna is a wonderful and helpful host and has decorated the house beautifully. We hope to return!

Donna’s house is extremely well cared for and it shows. She thought of everything! The house is well stocked and well appointed. Very simply decorated but so tasteful and comfortable. The location is great for day trips and exploring all around the coast of Maine. The house is extremely private and relaxing.

A wonderful place to stay. Secluded, with wildlife all around. The house is lovely and well appointed. The owner is caring and responsive.

Thanks so much for another wonderful stay at Birch Point Cottage! Again, we enjoyed our walks to the beach with the dogs a couple times a day. Hanging out in Rockland and Camden and dining at Rustica, Ada’s Kitchen and McLoons Lobster shack. We love your cottage. Hopefully we’ll see you next year!

Donna's cottage is delightful and stylish. It's spacious in it's living areas and the comfortable bedrooms are roomy and well-appointed. Lots of nice touches, and a well-equipped kitchen. Then there's the beautiful view of the water and surrounding landscape. It's an easy beautiful walk to the beach at a nearby state park. The coastal area around Rockland has so much to offer. We enjoyed sailing, hiking, museums and good food!

Such a lovely spot and a home that was welcoming, comfortable and beautiful. Donna has thought of everything, it was so hard to leave! We enjoyed the big lawn and close access to Birch Point, the super comfy beds and great kitchen. It was an amazing stay

This is our second visit to Birch Point Cottage and we are already looking forward to next year! Donna is an excellent hostess and her beautiful home is the perfect destination for a midcoast vacation. Thank you Donna!

Beautiful comfortable home on tidal cove. House lives up to photos. Extremely well cared for beautifully decorated and comfortable home in Owls Head. Very convenient to Rockland, Rockport, Camden as well as Spruce Head and Clark’s Island. State park beach very nice and only 10 minute walk from house. Kayaking in tidal bay from back yard. Great deck for meals or just watching the tides.

Lovely home in peaceful settings on small cove surrounded by stands of birch. Enjoyed evenings spent dining on back deck while watching the sunsets. All amenities top notch and thoughtfully curated.

Beautiful, we’ll kept property with all the amenities. We had a great time

Delightful and comfortable in every way. This should remain a well kept secret.

My husband and I along with our dog Max drove to Maine with expectations of beauty, relaxation, comfort and feelings of being at home to celebrate my retirement. We were not disappointed!! The house is better than advertised, the pictures cannot capture the warmth felt when entering because of the attention to detail Donna put into preparing this home for guests. The furniture is so comfortable, the beds engulf you, the kitchen is a chef’s dream…. I can go on and on! The windows and light bring the outdoors in, the evening sunsets were right there in front of us, the neighborhood is quiet. Every thought we had of what it might be like was far exceeded! Thank you Donna for sharing this slice of paradise.

From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The owner has thought of everything to make sure you have to think of nothing, and does it with style and panache. No mis-matched afterthought towels and china because it's "just a rental". Our family of 6 adults found plenty to do outside of the house, but when we were enjoying the house we found that it was perfectly situated for break out space. Just enough open concept without sacrificing quiet space away from everyone. The extensive windows throughout the house connected us with the amazing surroundings from sunup to sundown. I understand now why she has so many repeat guests, and I suspect I'll be one of them.

Donna, Thanks so much! We all had another awesome year! Your home is always cozy, comfortable quiet and clean! We just love it there. Hope to return next year! Nancy, Rosie, Shirley and Susan

The home and location are absolutely perfect! We have stayed in many rentals over the years and this was by far one of the very best. The home itself is so well equipped and charming. It was hard to leave and hope to return in the future.

Loved our stay. Had everything we needed especially the deck looking out on the tidal cove.. House has been beautifully updated and is well cared for. Donna provided great hiking recommendations and a helpful overview of noteworthy activities and resources. Many thanks for sharing this perfect spot.

My extended family had a wonderful stay here. The cottage is on a beautiful cove for swimming at high tide. The water temperature is warm there but a bit shallow. The beach at Birch Point State Park is a short walk or drive (Just up the road to the left). The water was not too cold there for swimming either. Things to see and do abound. Markets and restaurants are all about 20 - 30 min. scenic drives. When the host says they supply soap, shampoo and other necessities it is completely true. There are hair dryers in both bathrooms. You don't want for paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, coffee filters, sandwich bags, trash supplies, dish soap, laundry detergent, spices ( a complete drawer full) and cooking utensils. There was a s'mores kit with everything needed & skewers fir the fire pit also! There were also basic first aid supplies and a bit of sun lotion. I have never stayed at a Vrbo listing that supplied so many items. Kitchen wise be aware the only appliance missing was a microwave. We just heated leftovers on the stove or in aluminum on the grill or in the oven. We cooked popcorn on the stove in a pan. If you plan to use the fire pit, you will need to grab some fire wood. We ordered our groceries for pick up from Hannaford's supermarket in Rockland ahead of time online which worked out extremely well. Groceries were ready for pickup just after 3PM for 4PM check in/arrival time. We enjoyed exploring Port Clyde, the many light houses, beaches, and took a day trip to Islesboro on the ferry. The daily puffin cruise in Port Clyde is fun for the entire family. The ocean air and comfy beds had everyone sleeping well. All were commenting on this. We had all age ranges with us and everyone loved it. There is enough room to spread out and also great spaces to gather together when you want to. If you are into photography or art there is plenty of inspiration. My daughter and I enjoyed painting canvases and sketching the birch trees and cove. It is quiet and private and all the details are well thought out. Donna was a great host and checked in to see if we had any concerns or questions.

Not even sure what number stay this was for us as Birch Point Cottage (6th?, 7th?) but it’s always a highlight of summer for our family and never disappoints. The house is comfortable, clean, and cozy and right in the middle of all the places we love in Maine. Thanks again for your hospitality, Donna!

This is our fourth stay at Donna's cottage. What more can we say? We love it!

One of our favorite places we have ever stayed - I kind of want to make my house look like this house! Very comfortable, great location - the owner had great recommendations of things to do. Can’t wait to come back.

We were supposed to visit last summer, but with COVID, chose not to travel. It was absolutely worth the wait! This home is in a private setting beside the water and is clean, beautifully decorated and has everything you need (only missing a microwave-- but no big deal). Donna's area guide was so helpful as we explored as much as possible in the week we were there. Fun day trips are possible from this location, but also relaxing at the house or nearby beach makes this a perfect location for vacation. I hope we're able to visit again very soon. We miss Maine already! Donna was an exceptional hostess and this is probably the best VRBO we've ever stayed in.

Really enjoyed our time at Birch Point Cottage. Everything was just right. Simple, elegant, functional. Appreciated all of the little details throughout the house including a well stocked kitchen and lots of great things to peruse about the area. The binoculars were appreciated too. Would def return. Donna is a fantastic host. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Donna’s home was a terrific getaway for us to enjoy all that midcoast Maine has to offer. The house itself was incredibly clean and comfortable with great outdoor space. And the location was perfect to enjoy everything from a day at the beach to shopping in Camden and an excursion to Monhegan Island. We had a great visit!!

We could not have been any happier - everything was perfect! The home is exceptionally beautiful, nature absolutely spectacular, and there are so many wonderful places to explore nearby. We plan to come back!

This is a well loved home...as is evident before you even open the front door! It is well stocked for every need and you can tell that much care and thought went into this. Everything is of high quality and in very fine condition. It is the BEST VRBO experience I have ever had, both stateside and abroad. What more is there to say?

This our third stay at Donna's lovely home. After our visit in August, we made plans to return in late September. So glad we did! It was a perfect place to unwind during these troubled times in a beautiful, peaceful location. Thank you, again, Donna! Hope to see you next summer!

An all inclusive experience. Everything you need is here. Wonderful setting on the cove to sit at the fire pit or on the deck and eat or just relax. We loved kayaking each day. My only constructive comment is the access to the internet is poor.
