Great hosts. Met us at the cabin and explained all the cabin’s systems and idiosyncrasies. The cabin was small but charming. Lovely area of Maine. Very pet friendly and lots of local parks to visit. Loved the back deck.

The hospitality, and stories provided by Bonnie and Bill about their property were much appreciated, and the abundant information about the local area was so helpful - there’s so much to do, see, and places to eat that we’ll have to come back. The cabin is old, quaint, and comfortable - and has everything you need.

Best Maine Cabin Ever!

Loved the location of this cabin, close enough to Freeport while also embracing its wilderness location complete with a waterfall and waterfront access to the Harraseeket River via kayaks and canoes. Spent plenty of time enjoying the outdoors with the fire pit, the cabin itself provided everything we needed for our trip! If I’m ever back in Freeport I’ll be sure to stay here again!

Rustic!

We enjoyed our week at this old rustic cabin. The view of the water, the sound of the waterfall and the privacy are great. The nearby state park is great for biking and short hikes. It's nice that Freeport is convenient.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin in July enormously. We had both rainy days and hot summer days and were well kept in both cases. The location is great for exploring the area and the kayaks and canoe were great fun. Would stay here again for a rustic experience, perhaps in Fall next time around. We saw Deer walking past the cottage and watched the fireflies at night in the woods. Thanks again to Bonnie and Bill for their hospitality!

Rustic Cabin in Freeport

Very nice week! The owners were wonderful to talk to. The property is beautiful. Very nice views and awesome sunsets with camp fires! The cabin is old but very clean and cozy. It’s exactly as advertised! Location to LL Bean is very close and the Wolf’s Neck Farm and State park are even closer! I would rent there again when I can

Gorgeous setting!

Very cozy cabin. It’s far enough from downtown Freeport that you feel you’ve gotten away from it all, but close enough for convenience. We loved the hammock and sky chair, and the kayaks! The Bradfords were there to greet us and were very welcoming. Bonnie made us the best blueberry muffins we’ve ever had to welcome us to the cabin. We’ll definitely be back when our children are older and can enjoy the property more!

Perfect, relaxing place

We needed to have little break from busy NY life. This place is just right. Very relaxing, has everything you need. Owners welcomed us with Maine treats. Hammock, sky chair, kayaks, canoe - we used it all. Area around is simple beautiful, sky at night unbelievable. Thank you for great recommendation! Dolphin restaurant is great! Thank you for having us, we would love to come back one day.

Wonderful and Relaxing

The pictures online don't do the cabin justice. The area around the cabin is beautifulcovered with ferns and moss and right at the water's edge.. We were lucky enough to have had some rain so we had the sound of the waterfall all week. Close to everything, but far enough away to be private. We really enjoyed relaxing, reading, walking and exploring. The owners met us there, even though we arrived late due to traffic, to show us the ropes and welcome us with a treat. Very communicative and helpful. We hope to return someday soon!

The location of this cabin was excellent – with water views and access to the Harraseeket River for canoeing, kayaking and bald eagle sightings. We loved that it was within walking distance of Wolf’s Neck State Park and its beautiful trails. Freeport shopping, restaurants and amenities were a short drive away, as were other local towns.Barb & Bill kindly met us for check-in and shared local information and recommendations. They were very welcoming to us and even had a water bowl ready for our pup! Barb’s restaurant suggestions were spot-on and will be added to our list of places to visit again next time we’re in Maine.Cabin had pretty much all we needed for a relaxing week, even interesting books to enjoy.. We spent most of our time outdoors, using the hammock, firepit or enjoying the sunset from the deck. We felt a little cramped during a rainstorm when all three adults were inside, as we expanded the table for card games. Wi-Fi was good- even when two us, unfortunately, had to do some work during our stay. Overall, it was very enjoyable. Super scenic and convenient place to have as a base for exploring the area.

Perfect "Home Base" for our Southern Maine Vacation

Bonnie and Bill's cabin was a rustic and perfect choice for our family's Southern Maine vacation! The location was close to town (and the amenities therein) but also quiet and seemingly isolated for relaxing mornings/evenings in. The places beyond Freeport that we planned to visit like Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Boothbay Harbor (for a puffin cruise), Bailey Island (to climb the "Giant's Stairs"), and Harpswell (to explore the tide pools at Pott's Point) were all within about 45 minutes of the cabin ... and Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park was literally down the street (we could have walked if we wanted to)! The cabin itself is small, but there was enough room for all of us to enjoy a VHS movie around the little TV most nights, and if we wanted space we simply moved outdoors to the fire pit for s'mores or down to the platform by the water. The grounds may not be the most accessible to everyone, but we didn't have any problems and our kids loved exploring off the paths. In the course of a week, we became experts at using the tide charts that were in the kitchen to plan our canoe/kayak excursions so that we didn't get stuck in the mud, and we really enjoyed those moments out on the water. Lastly, Bonnie and Bill are great hosts! They make sure you know what is available at the cabin prior to arrival and were great about answering all of our questions. They also have a wealth of knowledge to share and a large binder full of useful information about the area if you need/want ideas!

Everything you need

The property is gorgeous, wooded with a short walk down to the river/bay. The options for outdoor relaxation were the best part. Kayaks, canoe, hammock, comfy chairs, and a fire pit. Often the only sounds we heard were birds. We also appreciated how much there was to do a short drive away. Our kids say this was the best vacation ever, they loved this place!

Delightful destination

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin. While kayaking we saw bald eagles, osprey, herons, egrets, kingfishers and seals. It was a good location to explore The surrounding areas of Harpswell, Bailey and Orr Islands as well as Brunswick, Bath and Georgetown. Having Wolf's Neck Woods State Park just down the street is a bonus.

Very quiet and relaxing

This is a true Maine Cabin feel. Just be careful when navigating the hill to get get to the canoe/kayaks. We squeezed 5 into this cabin and was a little tight. Other than that it was a beautiful area and loved looking out of the window each morning drinking my coffee. My family loved the fire pit and sky chair and Hammock. The owners are very welcoming and added a personal touch with blueberry muffins!
