The view from the spacious sitting was terrific – large windows looking right out onto the sailboat-filled bay – and the location was terrific. (The bedrooms were small, but that's offered as information for others, not as a complaint.)

We loved the rustic cottage and wonderful harbor view. Morning coffee and evening cocktails on the lawn chairs by the water were so relaxing. Highly recommend this as a bit off grid totally relaxing spot.

Rustic charm

This was a quaint cottage with a beautiful view. It was secluded and a much needed break from electronics. I could spend all day looking at the view from inside and outside the cottage!

The house wildly surpassed my expectations; the photos really don’t do it justice. It’s perfectly located in the center of all we wanted to see. The view over the harbor is breathtaking. We got up to watch sunrise both mornings. The house itself is cute and quaint and very clean. The double bed was incredibly comfortable. Couldn’t have asked for anything better, so pleased we decided to stay here! Very much looking forward to coming back.

The hosts checked in on us several times. They made suggestions for the area and answered questions. The location feels secluded, is super quiet, and has amazing views of the bay and its ever-changing array of boats.

The view was absolutely gorgeous and the location was great. The host was communicative and the side porch was lovely to hang out on. Plus the dock was very cool to have access to. Will be back for sure! Note: I think the listing says one of the bedrooms has two beds in it, and that is not correct. Each room has one full bed in it and the living room has a pull out couch. No big deal, just thought it should be noted.

Wonderful stay

Everything was wonderful! The view was amazing and the home was clean and had everything we needed. The location is quiet and peaceful while only a 10-15 minute drive for necessities. The biggest challenge is wanting to explore the area but not wanting to leave! We had a minor issue at check-in that was resolved promptly by the host. It was a nice relaxing stay and we would definitely stay again!

Idyllic

This is a spectacular property overlooking the tidal Benjamin River, seen through the huge windows in the livingroom as well as from a nice outdoor deck, patios and expansive lawn with Adirondack chairs. The beds were super comfy, kitchen had everything we needed, and it was very convenient to get to Deer Isle, Blue Hill and all the other nearby towns. Highly recommended!

Long weekend getaway

The cottage is beautiful, spacious. We were the first guests of the season. A little glitchy getting in at first. Kitchen was missing a few items, dish towels, oven mitts... Sleeping quarters comfortable and roomy. Pullout couch cery comfortable.

Quiet, cozy and beautiful view!

Property is exactly as pictured! Right on the water, amazing views of boats coming in and out of the harbor. Perfect if you are looking to avoid the crowds, just be aware most of the major attractions (Acadia, Bar Harbor, Searsport etc) are about an hour away. There is a decent little grocery store in nearby Blue Hill, and a Walmart and other major outlets in Ellsworth. Definitely worth a stay!

The place and setting were great. Scott was very responsive. The only problem we experienced was the internet was not working very well. We assume it's a problem in the area. It would not keep us from coming back, the setting was amazing and there is a beautiful full view of the water in the living room that keeps changing.

June 2022

The house was old, cute and clean. Views were beautiful! Quiet area and stores/dining were about 20 minutes away, so that was nice. Our cellular service was very spotty in the area, so definitely needed Wi-Fi. The only negative was lack of privacy shades in the bathroom and living area, and needed a big mirror in the bathroom sink. We felt too exposed at night time.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 July 2022
Thank you for letting us know about the privacy shades. We are so sorry to hear you felt exposed at night time! We have since added cordless, pull-down shades to the bathroom window and the exterior doors for additional privacy. We have also located a different wifi carrier and installed a new router in the cottage for our guests. We are glad you had a quiet stay and enjoyed the beautiful views!
