We have traveled a lot and stayed in many rentals over decades. This lovely carriage house, on the water, was everything we hoped for and more; peaceful, super comfortable and in a like-new condition with every detail thought of and lovingly maintained. We were also lucky enough to meet our hosts, who supplied us with ample tips on where to eat, visit and so forth. There are so many places to visit--but we enjoyed visiting Rockland and dining at the Long Grain restaurant and also Suzuki Sushi Bar (both not to be missed)--especially after visiting the Farnsworth Museum--which is always worth a visit. We also toured the nearby Olson House--the inspiration and subject of the famous Christina's World piece, in addition to over 300 paintings and drawings--some of which can be seen at the Farnsworth. One day we drove to Damariscotta for a succulent lunch of fresh oysters--delicious! Later that day, we enjoyed fresh Italian pastries in Bath--also a neat harbor town. We regret not having enough time to enjoy walking around the carriage house to explore the seaside, play tennis or swim but hope to return and make that a priority the next time. Lovely place and hosts--hard to imagine a better spot!

The property is beautiful. It was quiet and great for relaxing. Gps took us right to the property no issues. Property owners were wonderful! It was a great first trip to Maine!

Gorgeous and cozy Maine apartment overlooking trees and water, the photos are true to rental. Location is private and the hosts, Bill and Chris, are lovely and help out in every way (we lost our key!). It's an easy and scenic drive to the larger towns, cities, for the restaurants and shops. We loved area hiking trails and barn antiques best. And we enjoyed getting to know our hosts who have created a beautiful and scenic home, with this charming apartment for travelers. Best, Maria & Rich

Beautiful, relaxing get away!

We had the very best experience at Chris's property that one could possibly have on a getaway. She's an attentive, caring, present host and the property is breathtakingly beautiful inside and outside. We felt wonderfully at home and grateful to have found such a special place for time away together in Maine. Highly recommend!

The Fish House is, as described, cozy, neat and comfortable with spectacular views. The hosts, Chris and Bill, are very helpful and friendly, and I love their dog. We enjoyed the quiet and beauty of the location, and also the relatively easy drive to Rockland and Camden, and Damariscotta. There are lovely walks in the neighborhood and at least two nature preserves with walking trails within a short drive from the house. I hoped to see an eagle and did on our second day. Our only complaint is that the bed is quite firm (certainly better than being too soft), but we'll bring a mattress topper next time and that should take care of the problem.

The Fish House was a great central location to be able to travel south to Portland and as far north as Acadia. We really enjoyed the quiet and more removed neighborhood, and you can't beat the views from the huge windows in the mornings. The house is the perfect size for a couple's getaway.

The Fish House is really lovely. The perfect size for 2 with an unbeatable view. Meticulously clean, a well equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, very comfortable bed. The hosts are friendly and accommodating without being intrusive. The neighborhood features quiet streets for walking and a private dock for swimming and kayaking. There's a very serviceable general store 10 minutes away in Friendship that happens to be across the street from a funky but fabulous lobster and seafood place. And of course Rockland is only half an hour away. All in all this was an ideal place for the 2 of us to enjoy a perfectly relaxing week in Mid-Coast Maine.

Beautiful Peaceful Comfortable Friendly ❣️❣️❣️

The rental apartment above the owner's garage is very clean and new, but fairly small and compact. A short walk across the owner's lawn takes you to a scenic cove. Water access not great though. Cushing is not the most convenient location and there aren't too many local amenities. This rental is within a private HOA that seems quite "posh" and also boring. It was a fairly long drive from Rte 1 in Thomaston with not much to offer other than quiet. The photos advertised an outdoor shower that was not made available to us. It would also be a plus if the owners made kayaks available for use. Nicely furnished and comfortable bed and bath, but a fairly small space - good for single or couple. I would not choose to return to this property. Nice enough, but not enough nearby to engage us for one week in early August.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Fish House. Bill and Chris were just lovely. They were friendly, helpful and responsive. We will be going back!!

The Fish House is exactly as described. Beautiful craftsmanship can be found throughout. It is perfect for a couples getaway. The views are spectacular. Chris and Bill have put there heart and soul into this property and openly share it with thier guests. If you love the Midcoast area you are near all the popular towns, however if you just want to relax and enjoy the property you could do that too. My husband kayaked several mornings and saw eagles and osprey fishing nearby. Tilly, the goldendoodle, was the perfect welcoming committee. Thank you Chris and Bill for being great hosts. We will be back.

Nice hosts, immaculate 2nd floor apt overlooking covesto ocean. Pristine and perfect maine

The Fish House was a perfect serene location to get away for a few days with my husband. The workmanship in the carriage house is top notch, the setting was relaxing, and the host very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again and recommend the Fish House to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

This was an excellent vrbo experience. The carriage house was very comfortable, well laid out, and immaculate. The views and peace and quiet were exceptional. The hosts were lovely.

If you are looking for a cozy getaway in an intimate carriage house nestled within a waterfront postcard, you’ve found it. My husband and I came for our honeymoon and wanted to be immersed in Maine and it’s fall sights. We got just that and more. This location is perfect if you are looking to stay mainly on the property (it has a fully equipped kitchen - complete with a lobster pot and a pound nearby to cook your own if that’s on your list! And a fire place for chilly nights), take a hop over to explore the nearby towns of Camden and Rockport, or it is an easy beautiful drive away from Bar Harbor and Acadia if you want to make that a day trip! Unsure of what to do and where to eat? Chris has a list of the best restaurants nearby (we tried many of them so can confirm her ratings!!) which makes planning once you are there a breeze. We came with no plans and had the whole trip planned after our first conversation with Chris! Bonus! To cap off a perfect location, Chris and Bill could not have been more wonderful. You can tell they love Maine, love their home, and truly love sharing the Fish House. They were so welcoming I felt as if we were friends right off the bat. My husband and I shared some incredible memories at the Fish House and can not recommend this special place highly enough. We look forward to coming back.

This was the best VRBO experience we’ve had. If you like quiet and reconnecting with nature this is the place for you. Wish we would have booked for longer. Chris & Bill were great hosts.

Beautiful setting. Quiet. Great accommodation. The Fish house was all we hoped for and more. Lots to do in the area. Chris, Bill and Tilley were great hosts, with Tilley being a wonderful golden doodle, and very friendly to boot. Had a great time.

We have nothing to add to the many very positive reviews already posted. Quiet, relaxing, deeply refreshing. We returned to the city thoroughly rejuvenated after a mid-September week in the Maine mid-coast.

Everything was fantastic! The location and views of the water from the cottage were amazing. We enjoyed kayaking in the cove, relaxing by the waters edge, seeing resident seals pop up out of the water to greet us. So much do to in the area- enjoyed lobstah rolls at McLoons, the Farnsworth museum in Rockland and antiquing up the coast to Camden. Chris and Bill were a pleasure and loved their dog Tilly! We hope to return for a future visit.

We could not have been more pleased with the Fish house, beautiful setting. Immaculately clean with everything one could need. Chris and Bill were perfect hosts with many good local recommendations. We hope to return to this special place in the future.

The property was absolutely beautiful, and the fish house was spotlessly clean. We loved the decor inside. Chris was extremely helpful and told us all the best things to do, see, and eat in the area. We would go out of our way to stay there again.

A little remote but picture perfect. At least a half hour to restaurants. Hard to find initially but hosts came and found us.

This was a wonderful place...the apartment had everything we needed and the area Is beautiful...we’ll be back!

We were looking for a quiet place to stay with a water view, and this property was just lovely. You couldn't hear a single car (!), the relatively recent build meant it had a gorgeous picture window over the cove, and it was a short walk to adirondack chairs right on the water. The property owners were super friendly and helpful. Because of the peace and quiet it's a bit of a drive to anywhere you might want to go (we joked that basically everything was a half-hour drive), but within 30-45min we could do it all: eat amazing food (mostly taken out and eating on nearby picnic tables), visit our favorite wine maker (Oyster River!), go on incredible hikes in the Camden Hills, take a ferry with our bikes to North Haven Island, take a nature boat trip to see puffins and seals... We definitely recommend this property, the owners, and the location!

The view from the Fish House takes in lovingly cared for gardens and lawn out to the end of the inlet. We enjoyed time each day in the chairs provided by the shoreline watching the birds and the tides. The hosts were most welcoming and considerate.

This is a cozy cottage with a lovely view of the cove. The hosts are thoughtful and helpful with ideas for dining and sights to see. Lovely and beautifully maintained cottage, gardens, and nearby home. Adele

We absolutely loved our stay at The Fish House and highly recommend it. Everything was sparkling clean, and the luxury linens were an added bonus. The house and surrounding property are gorgeous! Chris and Bill are thoughtful and accommodating hosts. Come ready to relax and enjoy some of the best of the Maine coast.

I found the Fish House to be a wonderfully relaxing place to stay. Chris and Bill made sure I had everything I needed and gave me great suggestions of things to see in the neighborhood. The accommodations were clean and thoughtfully decorated. If you are looking for a place that is quiet and immersed in nature look no further.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Quiet and peaceful, even saw the Milky Way from the driveway. The owners were most helpful in giving us advice on where to eat and help finding galleries.

The Fish House is a very nice, tidy, relaxing place with great views and great hospitality. Walking the nearby nature preserves and cooking up lobster were a special bonus. Thank you!

The neighborhood: You won't see the neighbors. Just your gracious hosts. You are tucked away in the woods, with a peaceful view of a relatively unused bay. The apartment: Beautiful. That term "bay window." This is where it was coined. Tastefully decorated. Well constructed. Nicely finished, wide board, wood floor and natural wood trim. Furnished with an extra-comfortable bed, a well-equipped kitchen, and thick towels. Location: Down a just-repaved country road, around the corner from the field where Andrew Wyeth set Christina's World. But you'll have to go to MoMA to see the painting. You may end up not using the apartment's kitchen a whole lot. There are a bevvy of great places to eat in the area. In short - your hosts are willing to share a really relaxing place in a picturesque setting. It's a rare thing.
