I’ve been spending summer vacations in Maine since I was a kid. If you love the Maine coast, you will not find a better location to stay than this cottage. Whether you wake up to a foggy morning or a sun drenched expanse of ocean and islands you will want to get outside and take it all in. The cottage was very clean and well maintained. Our host Richard was always available and quick to reply if we had a question. We are planning to come back again!

I love staying at the cottage it has everything you want in a getaway. The Hosts Cindi and Richard take care of everything and answer any questions quickly, and are always available. I can't wait to go back again! I love to go Ocean Kayaking and it's easy in and out ocean access from their property! It's great to relax but also close to other activities from touring General Knox Museum, to walking the Rockland Breakwater and several close lighthouses! The night sky is so full of stars it's breathtaking. Awesome fire pit to hang out around or just relax in the screened in porch. Close to Rockland Main Street stores and restaurants or even closer everyday stores on nearby route 1. Venture a little further to Camden to go on a moonlight wooden sailboat cruise. Grandkids love to dig up a few clams to fill their bait nets to catch crabs.... They couldn't wait until high tide to go "crabbing" and low tide to check for sea glass ....at almost 4 and 6 years old it kept them occupied for hours!

September Getaway

We had a wonderful week. The view is spectacular! We enjoyed sitting on the porch after a long day to relax. The property is well maintained and very clean with a well equipped kitchen which we appreciate. It was great returning to this part of Maine after several years' absence. The hosts were great and attentive to our needs.

Peaceful and Comfortable

We had a wonderful stay the last week of September. The cottage was great - peaceful and quiet, yet alive with the sky and water and geese! We enjoyed the views out the windows, the great screened in porch, and all the interesting points to visit in the area. It was outfitted with everything we might need. Richard and Cindi were great hosts, and fun to chat with.

Great Oceanfront Home

Very comfortable and well-equipped cottage. Comfortable bed in master bedroom and plenty of closet space. Washer & dryer an added bonus to the amenities. The hosts were very welcoming and very attentive to our inquiries. Views from the cottage were beautiful and ever changing with the tides. The whoopie pies at McCloons were phenomenal. We are returning next year.

Lovely Cottage by the Sea

This is our 5th year staying at the cottage. Our first few visits were shared with a long-time friend but we have visited with our son, daughters and grandchild the last two years. It is just the right size for our family of 6.We love sitting on the porch and watching and listening to the waves as the tides come in and out. The sunrises are amazing and this years display of northern lights was magical. We also enjoy the nearby Farnsworth Museum, Langlaise Art Preserve and Finnish Heritage House.

Unforgettable Views!

Don't know where to start, it was a great 12 days including the weather which couldn't have been nicer if it were planned that way. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, the location and views were postcard perfect. Cindi & Richard were excellent host, very hometown friendly as were all the neighbors. My wife and 11-year-old granddaughter really enjoyed their time on the cottage owners lobster boat so much so they both wanted to go out again. This is definitely a place that deserves a return trip!

Sea Coast Cottage Getaway

Richard and Cindi are wonderful hosts! They make themselves available for any needs you might have and supply information on local area. The cottage is well appointed with all your daily needs, just bring your clothes. The screened in porch is an awesome spot to sit with a good book and watch the tide come in and out! Fire pit and dock are also great spots to relax outside. Easy beach to launch your kayak and explore the coast line! Matt and Jill

Little piece of Heaven

This is the perfect place to kick back. Cindi and Richard are great hosts. The house is clean and well stocked, beds are comfortable, screened in porch on a rocker and adirondacks on the pier with a million dollar view are the perfect places to peel away your stress. The beach is a perfect place to swim (cold water), launch kayaks or just explore. A short drive to Thomaston and Rockland for shopping and all the activities. Enjoyed the house, enjoyed the festivities and enjoyed the fresh seafood - Perfect Vacation! Thanks Cindi and Richard!!!

Quiet, Cozy and Spectacular Views

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin so much! The solitude and the views were exceptional. Yet, we were close enough to the Thomaston/Rockdland/Rockport/Camden area to take in all of the sights. The cabin itself is cozy and has all of the amenities you need. It's nothing fancy, but it met our needs perfectly. Our highlight was having Richard, the host, take us out on his lobster boat one day. We had a great time learning about the lobster business. In support of his business, we ate as much lobster as we could! We already booked the cabin for next year! Thank you to Richard and Cindi for being such gracious hosts.
