Lovely waterside cottage
We had a lovely time here. The house was very comfortable and the neighborhood was enjoyable. Small store, well stocked convenience store just a block away. I am just sad that the bakery was already closed for the season when we were there.

Family cottage
The cottage was comfortable and in a beautiful location, overlooking a harbor. We’d like to have had cable tv for national news. It’s a long drive to most museums, towns and interesting sites, but the drive is along beautiful roads, which we enjoyed.

We appreciate the quaint village and cottage, and hope our guests will, also. The town dock is a great place to tie up a dingy or canoe, or sit at the table so nicely situated. We enjoy the village atmosphere, the beautiful views, and close proximity to fresh lobster.

Wifi was added this year, to accommodate our friends and guests.

Please book by the week, from Saturday to Saturday, to accommodate cleaning service, unless coming for a special event, or with agreement from the hosts.

What makes this property unique

Cozy cottage with deck and wonderful views from all rooms. Walk to village stores for coffee, newspapers, and necessities.
