My original summary was too long, so I'm going to keep it short and sweet. This place was AMAZING. If you're looking to escape the madness of daily life, this is the perfect place to be. We adventured up and down most of Maine's coastline and our only regret was not spending more time at this house. The setting made for a perfect sunrise and nothing beats the sound of the ocean's tide as your alarm clock :) So don't pass this place up, I promise you won't regret it ❤️

This was just the right place for me and my family to get away and enjoy some peace and relaxation.

This house was the perfect getaway for our family vacation. I couldn’t wait to wake up in the mornings to go to the shore to watch the sunrise over the bay. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. We didn’t want vacation to end. We will definitely come back to this place in the future.

We desperately needed to unplug, and this was the ideal place to do it. The house is great, the views sublime. Great fire pit and benches throughout for peaceful contemplation. The location is remote, but we loved it. We enjoyed getting seafood at Chipman's wharf and day trips to Winter Harbor and Bar Harbor. Acadia is easily within reach. We will definitely return to this house.

There is always a risk booking a vacation property based on photos that may misrepresent the actual condition and features. This house was more than we expected. The views were incredible and condition of the house was much better than we expected. Thank you.

The location alone sells this property. Outstanding!! Once upon a time, I'm sure this property was well cared for, but it is not now. It has a fairly well equipped kitchen, has quality linens & towels. If you want consistent shower temps however, this is not the place for you! After 2 days of cleaning, we made it our own, but upon arrival the floors were still wet, the dishwasher had food deposits in it, the kitchen drawers needed cleaning, the BBQ was so dirty we did not use it, the deep fryer in the cupboard was full of oil and food particles and the doorknob came off in my hand. This spectacular deck without a table and seating for outdoor eating is a shame and the kitchen island has a bar seating area and no bar stools. Fell in love with the view but the cottage needs some serious TLC. Multiple pull out drawers had broken brackets and were repaired with tape which did not hold !No instructions as to trash and recycling so we obtained that info from a neighbor. Would be helpful for future guests. We purchased a cooler & ice packs and a crockpot which we left for future quests to use. Gorgeous spot but not one we would return to.

The views were absolutely beautiful. It was so quiet, only lobster boats, birds and waves.

This was a beautiful home, nestled in the trees of a small town. A perfect quiet get away... a little ways away from restaurants and busier towns, so be prepared for a bit of a drive to those sort of attractions. Overall, the view was amazing, the house was great, and the nearby park (McClellen Park) was such an added bonus!!!

My wife and I stayed here for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We were shocked at how gorgeous the view is from the benches by the beach. The pictures do not due it justice. This was one of the best places I have booked in a long time. The views will literally take your breath away. We seen an eagle our last day fly right by us when we were on the deck. Had an amazing time and can't wait to come back. 10 stars!!!

Property needs cleaning and baseboard heaters make excessive noise that may effect sleeping. Property is very private and has great view of ocean bay.

Overall, this was a good stay...amazing view and peaceful surroundings are definitely the highlight. Some minor details keep it from the full 5 stars: it could have used a more thorough cleaning before our arrival, there was a delay in communication with the property manager. Also, the listing should specify that there is no AC (there are ceiling fans, but the temp in the house made it up to 84) and no cable TV (while not an essential item, it's nice to have access). A suggestion for making guests feel more 'at home' - curtains that block the sun (so guests can sleep in and not wake up with the sun) and perhaps a simple stereo to play music.

Too many good things to say about our stay! The house is wonderful. It comfortably accommodated our family of 4. The house is nicely decorated, the furniture is comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked and there is ample linens and supplies. They have lots of books and DVD's too. It is nicely secluded in the woods. The view is breath taking! The pictures don't do it justice. Often I would just sit and look out at the beautiful scenery. We spent many mornings climbing on the rocks below. The town of Milbridge was just big enough. There is a grocery store, a dollar store, a few little shops. I did see a family doctor and a very small hospital but fortunately we did not need their services! It is approximately a little over an hour to Mount Desert Island or to the Canadian boarder. We found lots of interesting places in-between. There are many places to fish and hike around the area. If you are looking to stay off the beaten path, this is definitely the place.

Amazing sunrise and sunsets from this property! It was hard to pack up and leave the view this cottage offered. The cottage had everything we needed. The full kitchen and washer and dryer were very nice to have for our week long stay. I would have given 5 stars, but feel the inside of the cottage could use some TLC. A full day or two of cleaning some of the areas that aren’t on the normal cleaning list ( ceiling fans, window sills, corners of rooms and ledges etc) would make this place a gem. We fell in love with the town of Milbridge. So many kind people who take the time to wave and smile. We would definitely recommend this property to others. It’s in a beautiful, peaceful location and it was so fun to watch the lobster boats each morning. If Acadia is in your plans, It’s a great alternative to the busy Bar Harbor area if you are willing to drive a little (1 hour) but very well worth it!

Quiet location, stunning views, tasteful and simple decor. Open floor plan makes for a lot of family gathering time. We enjoyed the hummingbirds at the feeders. Bring your binoculars and relax on the deck.

This was a lovely vacation home for our family. The view was absolutely amazing from every room. I would definitely return.

All of the descriptive words will not properly prepare you for your stay! Beautiful open water with lobster boats working within a hundred feet of the bluff. Sunrise was a treat, hiking along the large boulders and exploring the area revealed the beauty of Maine. We were fortunate to be there when the colors were at their peak and we explored several of the harbor towns along the coast as well as Baxter State Park and Bar Harbor. The house was great and as described, we enjoyed the views from the large deck as well as from the dinning area and great room. Milbridge is a small village with friendly folks and great food especially breakfast at Milbridge House. No issues with the property and Tom and Nance were a joy to work with, we look forward to our next Maine Adventure. Larry Whittington

Overall great experience. Would highly recommend. Don't miss the two pathways to the shore. One has a bench. Only critique: floor creaks a lot. Outdoor table would be a nice addition.

We enjoyed our stay immensely and the scenery was absolutely gorgeous. The house was a perfect fit for our family. Will treasure the trip for a lifetime. Thank you. Lori S.

A sweeping vista dotted with pine trees and a large deck or bench at the cliff's edge to sip your coffee in the morning. Cant get much better than that! Lobster boats chug by (we were a bit early in June so just a few) checking their pots. The house is tastefully decorated and well maintained. My favorite was the swirling leather chair so comfy to read while engulfed in the beauty of the view. We really appreciated the well stocked kitchen (basic spices), pans, bowls, etc., the updated shower off the Master bedroom and the foam mattress. Each bedroom has a slider and view to the ocean. very nice. Grill available, too. You can use your phone or ipad for the internet or calls but there is no service for TV viewing - only for DVDs. The local library in town surprisingly had some very current movies to rent for the week at no cost! (closed Monday and open only until 4pm). Milbridge is a mellow town with only two restaurants, one gift shop, gas etc but a handy grocery and dollar store. The Milbridge House restaurant was excellent - we went for an impromptu lunch and my fish was very fresh. It looks like it is quite popular for breakfast, too. We highly suggest Robinson tours that leaves right from Milbridge. The boat holds only 6 people, he is informative, friendly and his dog, Maisy, is adorable. We took it to Petit Manan Island to see the Puffins. There is also a lobster man literally two miles down the road- Chipman's. We ventured to the campground just next door and discovered a trail that went right to the water with big rocks to climb and a picnic table. We hiked both trails at Petit Manan (about 10-15 minutes away), ventured to Schoodic Point that now has bike paths and carriage roads (just 1-2 years old) and Winter harbor has some cute gift shops and restaurants. A day trip to Bar Harbor to hike trails is about 80 minutes depending on traffic. I suggest leaving early to avoid the one lane of traffic from Ellesworth to Mount Desert Isle/Bar Harbor. We loved "Mainly Meat"/Atlantic Brewhouse for some tasty, no frills BBQ ribs, chicken, etc. And last but not least, Nancy and Tom were very pleasant and were very responsive and timely in answering our questions.
