Thank you for your kind words. We’re so happy you liked the cottage and enjoyed your visit to the area. We’d be happy to host you again should you return in the future. Best wishes, Brenda and Chelsea
We had a great early summer vacation here. Quiet, relaxing with beautiful views from the deck, both of the bay and pretty wild flower lawn. It is close to a few small towns with interesting shops, and probably the best Mexican restaurant in Maine. And it has a hammock in the shade. All the thngs needed for our stay were there. A well equipped kitchen a well stocked bookshelf and toys f you are staying with kids (or not - I did use the legos) Our hosts were attentive and quick to respond to questions and generous with helping us make the stay a happy one Hope to be back

Thank you for your kind review. You were great guests. We enjoyed hosting you and appreciate that you booked your stay with our company. We’d be happy to host you again should you return to the area in the future. Best wishes to you both.
Quaint cottage on a quiet, dead end road, yet close enough to serve as a hub for day trips to other adventures, if you desire. Clean, well stocked with linens, towels, dishes, board games. Nice approach to the Bagaduce river. Many windows to let in the outside sunlight and a gentle breeze. Enjoyable.

Why they chose this property
As described by the Blue Hill Chamber of Commerce: The Blue Hill Peninsula encompasses the towns of Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Castine, Penobscot, Sedgwick, and Surry and serves as the gateway to Little Deer Isle, Deer Isle, and Stonington. Blue Hill is the largest town and is the region’s service center. The landscape here is marked by sweeping views of the blueberry barrens and the sea. Tucked in among the ridges, valleys, and jagged coastline, you’ll find adventure of all kinds, from a day on the water and an evening of live music to a solitary morning walk and an afternoon of gallery tours and shopping.
You’ll find our communities to be diverse, independent yet interconnected. In all of these places, you may strike up a conversation with a lobsterman, boatbuilder, or sailor who knows these waters like the back of their hand. In all of these places, you will find locally sourced food and highly skilled craftspeople and artists. In all of these places, you will find evidence of the resourcefulness, dry wit, and creativity that has defined our region’s culture for centuries.
This region was settled in the mid-1700s, and its early economy centered around shipbuilding and quarrying. Lumbering, lobstering, fishing, and farming have played an important role in our economy and culture since the earliest days. By the late 1800’s the region had become a summer destination. Today, many of these industries coexist with a thriving art, music, and food scene to create this unique place called The Blue Hill Peninsula.
