Redbird Cottage is a beautiful and peaceful family home in a gorgeous and quiet spot with a lovely garden and a great view of the water. Our family of six adults had a comfortable and relaxing vacation. The house has a fully-equipped kitchen and everything else you might need and the gracious host has thought of everything. We enjoyed family meals, did puzzles, sat on the porch and chatted while listening to the birds. What a great spot!

Wonderful stay! Beautiful and convenient location. Gorgeous views and family friendly home. Cherie was easy to talk to and communicate with about our specific needs with two very young children. She even decided to purchase a high chair to have there when I asked about the type of chairs in the photos being compatible with a booster seat. The one she purchased was nice and easy to use. She had a pack and play set up as well. While there is no hear in the upstairs, since our stay was mid October, she placed electric blankets on the bed but the propane heat from downstairs was absoljtely enough to heat the upstairs as well. The porch was our favorite part to enjoy afternoons and mornings im the summer months.

Wonderful week!

We had a wonderful week in Boothbay and loved Cherie's fabulous property! Everything was so welcoming and comfortable, and our son especially loved all the games and toys. The location was great, close enough to town to enjoy it all but far enough away for lots of peace and quiet. The house had everything you could need and we can't wait to come back!

Wonderful

As three 70- something women, we were looking for a cottage that would be comfortable and well located. Redbirds' Nest surpassed all of our expectations. It was cozy but spacious, within a good distance of where we wanted to visit and had every amenity you could ask for. Comfort and charm were everywhere and we could not have asked for more. Thank you!

Perfect Maine Vacation

This cozy cottage with its wonderful wrap around porch and incredible views of the harbor was the perfect place for our vacation. The house was equipped with everything we needed to be comfortable. We cooked many of our meals there and always found what we needed in the well stocked kitchen. Our host was easy to contact and she made sure we had what we needed. Her suggestions for local attractions were very helpful and the location of the house made it easy to visit so many of these interesting places. Great memories were made on our perfect Maine vacation!

Beautiful House and incredible view!

The house was absolutely beautiful! The view of the bay was incredible, we woke up every morning and had coffee on the wrap around porch overlooking the bay. We were within 10 minutes of everything too!! Cherie was great, she was available to answer any question we had, and she met us there to give us a tour! We loved our welcome bag as well! We will definitely be back!

I often stay at Boothbay in different VRBO homes but none like Cheries! I've never been in a home that had every and anything that you could possibly want. The home was also immaculate. She is very very detailed and will make sure that you know everything about the house and actually loves to meet her guests she's definitely one in a million !!!Cherie literally feels like family and we only met her once.
