Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at Topsider! The cottage was incredibly well-equipped, clean, and comfortable; we enjoyed family game time, cooking our own lobsters and fish on the grill, and enjoying beautiful sunsets and views from the deck. We loved the beach we could walk to, and great location to enjoy our Georgetown favorites and other nearby activities. We look forward to returning and creating more family memories at Topsider!

Great place, great views

Our family has rented a number of places over the years & this was one of the very best. Clean, comfortable, functional, well stocked. We even made a list of the good things about it & we exceeded the number of steps, tee hee. GREAT VIEWS, from inside and out, big decks, sheltered table, working grill, window treatments that kept out the dawn's early light, binoculars, towels &&&

This was our 4th visit to Topsider. It is always a joy to be there, enjoying the views and comfortable furnishings. It is perfect location for day tripping to Bath, Boothbay, and Freeport. But best part is always coming back.

Keeps getting better!

We had a wonderful 5th visit to Topsider. Terrific view and cozy interior makes it on our short list of favorite places ever. This trip we especially enjoyed the Maritime Museum in Bath and first visit to Pemaquid peninsula and lighthouse . We also discovered Maine’s own Gifford ice cream enjoyed on Tooside deck with sunset.

Relaxing Maine Vacation

This was our second stay at The Topsider, and we enjoyed this visit as much as we did the first! We were out and about most days exploring the area, but always looked forward to returning back to our home away from home to eat a delicious meal and relax. On a couple of dreary and rainy days, we were just as happy to hang out, play some games, relax, and take in the views! This is such a special place, thank you again to our wonderful hosts!
