The cottage was an absolute delight. Clean, well appointed, cozy and welcoming. It had all I could ask for. The washer and dryer came in handy too. Communication was excellent. Perfect for a single looking for peace, long walks and a place to write…or a couple enjoying the area. I will be booking again for next year.

Cozy and charming. Perfect for 1 or 2 people. Wonderful location.

We absolutely loved everything about The Nugget. Perfect for two, with views of the water from every side. Every amenity we could have ever imagined was at our disposal. The cottage was beautifully crafted and furnished. We would definitely stay here again!

Warren was the best , very helpful.

Wonderfully updated cottage by Mackerel cove. Only complaint was the sulfury water— I would recommend bringing bottled drinking water. Other than that our stay was perfect!

Beautiful spot. Lovely hosts. Impeccable decor, amenities, cleanliness. Perfect for couples who like to cuddle.

Excellent. Very cozy, super clean, nice decor

This property is charming and comfortable with all the amenities needed for our 2 week stay. The hosts were a delight, always responding to inquiries promptly and asking us if we needed anything. Bailey Island is a favorite destination of ours and the cottage allowed us to enjoyed the island and the surrounding area to the fullest. We highly recommend!

Comfortable and well decorated cottage for two of us. Ideal location. Highly recommend

Great little private house right at the top of Mackerel cove. Views of the Merriconeag Sound from the kitchen and deck. The rooms are so well laid out, with a distinct good feel in every different area. Kitchen has everything and more. Washer and dryer was great to have. The shower was fantastic and hot. And of course the bed made it hard to get up early every morning… so comfy. On top of all this… we arrived to generous, lovely, delicious treats! Warren and Cindy go above and beyond.

The Nugget is such an amazing space, tucked away by Mackerel Cove. Every detail has been thought out with care. The hosts are informative, responsive and accommodating. They even came running over to provide a coffee maker we requested in place of the Keurig. The space is well stocked, the layout is beautiful, the landscaping is idyllic and the views are stunning. What a wonderful experience!

Everything about the Nugget was perfect during our stay. We were so impressed by the many thoughtful amenities provided by the owners, who went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful visit. The Nugget itself was exceptionally clean and beautifully remodeled with great water views. (And I think it might have been the most comfortable mattress I’ve slept on at any vacation rental or hotel.) We highly recommend staying here for your Bailey Island vacation!

I've been traveling globally for some time. Rarely do you find nicer more attentive owners that care deeply about the guests than Cindy & Warren. Unfortunately I had a medical issue while at Bailey Island and they treated me as family. The cottage is adorable, clean and very functional. Solitude & Serenity. Would return in a heart beat....in fact I will!!

We really enjoyed staying at the Nugget. Great location and hosts. BI is a wonderful place to rest and explore. Highly recommended.

Everything about the nugget is tasteful. The sheets are soft, the pillows are down, the countertop is honed. There is a water view out every window and the windows are new. The doors are beautifully milled. It really is delightful!Outside the area is charming and the hiking is amazing, especially the Bowdoin preserve. You can picnic at a different sandy spot each day. The water is crystal clear in Mackerel Cove as it is everywhere Mr. Burroughs gave us great hiking tips and any info that we needed.It was simply wonderful!

We spent a week on Bailey's Island, and loved every moment of it. Our stay at "The Nugget" could not have been better. "The Nugget" is a cozy cottage with views of the water and magnificent sunsets. The cottage is thoughtfully designed and furnished and outfitted with many lovely amenities, ranging from a well-equipped kitchen to a TV with access to Netflix to great bath products. From wine and beer in the fridge to flowers in the living room, Cindy and Warren thought of everything. They are gracious hosts who are always willing to offer suggestions about where to go and what to do in the area. We definitely hope to return.

My husband and I had a fantastic time staying at The Nugget. It is in the loveliest spot and it is the perfect size for two. It has tons of thoughtful details. We both had to work remotely for part of the trip so we were also grateful for the excellent wifi! Warren and Cindy are thoughtful and responsive. They left us local treats and were nearby, if needed. We hope to be able to visit again in the near future!

This clean, updated and tastefully decorated cottage was just the accommodation my husband I were looking for while visiting family in the area. The cottage was well supplied with everything we needed, not to mention some thoughtful unexpected touches including coffee tea, beer, wine and even chocolates to get our vacation started! We enjoyed daily walks in the picturesque Mackerel Cove and throughout Bailey Island and often ended our day watching sunsets from the deck. Warren and Cindy were respectful of our privacy, but very responsive when we had questions. Highly Recommend!

Beautiful location perched in a corner of iconic Maine fishing cove. Ocean views with morning coffee and sunsets with a glass of wine. The cottage is elegantly appointed and Cindy and Warren have thought of everything. I couldn't have found a better location to meditate, take my online writing workshops (excellent wifi!) and escape from the world.
