Back for year #3! We love this rustic cottage, the local community, and the proximity to the beach. Folks traveling with kids should definitely look into events at the local libraries—we enjoyed free concerts, storytimes, ice cream socials, etc. This is the perfect Maine spot for us.

We had a wonderful two week stay at Snug Cottage and wish we were still there. The cottage has everything one needs – a well-equipped kitchen, great views of the water, a screened-in back porch overlooking the bay, and an array of books/reading material. One can walk for several miles (at a minimum) on the wide beach and kayak in and around the cove. The towns of Brooklin and Blue Hill are close, as is Acadia with its trails and carriage paths. We saw eagles and seals and heard coyotes and owls. The cottage is the epitome of “snug.” We would love to return.

Stayed from 9/21-9/30/26, so end of summer is a bit cooler than the summer months here, I'd imagine. We used the woodstove everyday as that is the only heat source in this quaint, almost 100-year-old sea cottage. Beach is rocky so be sure to bring appropriate shoes for walking. It is not a sandy beach (rocky coastal) if that is what you are expecting. We enjoyed combing for treasures. Collin is quick to respond to questions. If you want to feel as if you have stepped back in time this is the spot for you.

Perfect place to spend a quiet week. Star gazing, sunrise, moonrise, close to lots of little towns. Definitely worth the 12 hour drive.

Wonderful stay! Cozy and snug, love the screen porch. We spent hours watching the cove and the sailboats. Furniture is comfy as is the bed. We parked our kayaks right by the beach stairs and went swimming to cool off. Great book collection as well. This place is great.

A perfect stay for our family

This house was absolutely perfect for our young family of 4. We spent our days on the beach and screened-in porch, enjoying the peace and perfect setting of the house. We had everything we needed for cooking and grilling each night. We loved our stay and will plan to come back!

Second time visiting

Another wonderful week and snug cottage, the location is amazing. The ability to walk out to the shore and go for long strolls at low tide is a plus. The view and the quietness are the highlights of the trip. Highly recommend.

One week was not enough!!

Snug Cottage was incredible! My husband and I have always wanted to go to Maine and finally got there. The cottage was exactly what we hoped it would be. Relaxing and refreshing, we spent so much time walking the shore. The hosts were fantastic! We cannot wait to go back!!

The loveliest seaside cottage

We were absolutely smitten with this true, quintessential Maine cottage. As Mainers ourselves, we believe that this is what a little cottage by the sea should be. We loved its old school charm and simplicity. It's a cottage that honors what we seek in the perfect vacation - a place that affords you the proximity to fresh salty air, surrounded by open fields, sandy shorelines, and the quiet of the surrounding woods. It was absolutely bliss and we ache to return next year.

Scenic Family Vacation

We had a fantastic stay at the cottage. The scenery was even more beautiful than we imagined. The cottage is very private and well stocked with books and games to entertain all ages. We took a couple of day trips to Acadia which is just over one hour away by car. We also explored the local area and spent time searching for treasures on the private beach.

Quite pastoral waterfront cabin

It was just what we were looking for. Clean and everything we needed. Used wood stove to heat downstairs. Space heater for bedroom. Located in the right location for day trips around the area as well as to Acadia NP.

We loved our stay at this cozy cabin! The house is somewhat rustic, but with modern amenities and is incredibly charming. Bed in the master was super comfy. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch, walking on the beach, and exploring the area. Lots of bird and deer activity. We used the fireplace at night because it got pretty chilly and really enjoyed that. They supplied the wood and also pretty much everything else you’d need (towels, flashlights, beach chairs, cookware, etc.). Had a couple small hiccups, but Colin was fast to respond. Would absolutely come back!
