Great Place

This is a lovely place. Beautiful location. Great view. Place is in excellent condition, very comfortable. Owners were very accommodating, offering their help if needed. They added extra touches, like providing pastries and coffee from the local farmer’s market. We would go back there. Bailey Island is a beautiful place.

A lovely week!

Such a charming cottage and great hosts! We used The Nugget as our home base to explore the coast and eat amazing seafood. We definitely fell in love with Maine! Warren and Cindy paid great attention to detail in designing and decorating the cottage. I’d go back in a second!

5 Star Writer's Retreat

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.

The Nugget Is A Treasure

My husband and I LOVED our stay at the Nugget on Bailey Island! Warren and Cindy are fantastic to work with and so responsive, as well as wonderful people. Throughout the cottage there were thoughtful touches, and the decor was impeccable. The space is perfect for a couple. We enjoyed having the windows open, hearing the birds, seeing the water. The cove and Giant's Stairs are easy walks from the cottage, and the Island has several great restaurants. Our favorite is Sundrenched. We would stay at the Nugget again anytime!

Couldn’t hope for better

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.

Stunning little Nugget

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!

Mackerel Cove hidden gem

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.
