Our family of four had such a wonderful stay. The view was stunning, the house had everything we needed and felt so comfortable and clean. The bunnies outside were a plus for my kiddos :)Thank you immensely for sharing such a special home. We truly hope to be back!

And very cozy , and we would definitely go back. Loved watching the lobster ships go in and out of the bay as well as watching the tide. Fire would be advisable to get before you get to the house. So that you can have a cozy fire outside in the fire pit.

The cottage is a gem and the location perfect. The bunny rabbits in the yard were a special treat-they are adorable!We had a great time. The kitchen is well stocked, by the way!The only recommendation we'd like to make is that a safety bar be added to the bathtub. It is deep and there is nothing to hold on to getting in and out.Thanks, Lydia! We will be back!

A great little tidal cottage.

We had a great stay at the Frisy Fish. It has a great view of the tidal pond and the beds are comfy. It's a nice cabin and we will return.

A clean charming place on the water with great sunset views. It was 30 minutes to a wonderful hike on Western head preserve, 15 minutes to a self guided far tour, and 5 minutes to Jasper Beach.

Beautiful location

Great house in a great location on the coast. Explored from Eastport to Lubec and down the Bold Coast. Jasper Beach and Long Point Preserve are gems.

We arrived after dark and a long day of traveling so finding the keys and getting into the house was a little tricky but the house was warm and cozy. The views the next morning were beautiful and better than expected. Frisky Fish was our home base for sightseeing further north and into Canada. The house was exactly what we needed and we would love to come back in warmer weather to really be able to enjoy the beach and outdoor activities.

Great vacation home

I was very impressed by this home. It was exactly as presented on VRBO. I enjoyed the view of the bay and watching the lobstermen come and go. The furniture was very comfortable and the house was set up well with anything you may need. My vacation was definitely worth the trip of almost 8 hours.

Maine Getaway

Just what we needed for our family trip. A great place to rest after our days exploring the coast. We enjoyed watching the birds and the water come in/go out throughout the day. Loved getting lobster just down the street, couldn’t get any fresher.

Love this house!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Frisky Cottage! The house was so comfortable and clean. We didn’t have the greatest weather but we found plenty to do close by and just sitting in the cottage and watching the boats was relaxing. We even had a Bald Eagle land out front!

Frisky Review

Our stay at the Frisky Fish Cottage was fabulous! The cottage was spotless and well stocked. We loved watching the fishermen and bought lobsters from one of them. We spent time as kids in this area and found people so friendly, just as we remembered. A great spot!!

Peaceful tranquility

This cute little cottage was perfect for my sister and I to get away and relax. Watching the tide go in and out and the fishing boats in the distance. Fresh lobster is right up the street and Helen’s Restaurant is not too far either. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well stocked Wish we could have stayed a little longer.

Cousin Vacation

Great location a little difficult to find but it was amazing very clean fully stocked with everything we needed. We also enjoyed the viewing and the lobster men. We got to eat fresh lobster. Every one was so friendly. We were amazed by high and low tides. We enjoyed ourselves fishing and seeing the farm animals.It was just amazing!!
