About this property

Waterfront Home In Friendship, Pet Friendly, includes three kayaks and canoe

Come experience all the Mid-Coast of Maine has to offer in beautiful Friendship. Centrally located between Portland and Bar Harbor, Friendship is just minutes away from many of Maine's finest attractions. Our cottage is directly on the water with a private dock. The Cottage is nicely appointed with three bedrooms including a Master Bedroom with a Queen-sized bed and a sleeping loft with twin beds that your kids will just love! There is also a lower level bedroom with a full sized futon. The mattress is very high quality to assure your comfort. This bedroom also has its own full bathroom for amazing privacy in the lower level. With high ceilings and a large deck the cottage feels spacious and airy even when you have a full house! Spend your days at the cottage reading on the deck as you take in the breathtaking view while listening to the lobster boats as they haul in their catch. Take long walks or go explore surrounding islands in a kayak or take a nap while listening to the harbor seals call to one another. On a foggy day you may want to curl up in front of the fireplace with your dog sleeping by your side. Wood is provided! The more adventurous may want to spend days golfing, shopping, touring lighthouses or taking harbor cruises. The tourist towns of Rockland, Camden and Damariscotta are all just a 30-40 minute drive. Even Acadia National Park is only a two hour drive.
Note, Friendship is a small town with one general store that was just voted the best deli in Maine! . There is one restaurant in town. But you can visit the harbor when the lobster boats are coming in and buy lobster as fresh as it gets! It is a perfect little Mid-Coast Maine Village that you will fall in love with.

THINGS TO KNOW!
Sheets and towels are NOT provided. Pillows and blankets are.
House is 1660 Square Feet
Both the downstairs bedroom and the loft are accessible by stairs-the downstairs bedroom can be accessed from the outside

Another fantastic stay at Amy's place in Friendship! This was our fourth year, and as long as we are able, we will continue to come here for our extended visit to Maine. We enjoy everything about it: the lovely sunset views from the deck; kayaking from the dock to watch the seals just offshore; the proximity to nearby villages and towns, with all the restaurants; and of course, the lovely, friendly, and helpful neighbors next door and in this little community on Delano Cove.

Spectacular views and location

We loved our week at this property! Amy was always available and so easy to communicate with. We kayaked from the dock every day and enjoyed paddling around all the nearby islands. We saw gray seals, a bald eagle, terns, herons, and egrets. The house is rustic, comfortable, and well supplied. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors friendly and welcoming. We did easy day trips to numerous coastal communities, which was great fun. All in all a magical week, and we absolutely hope to return.

Really a lovely place! older camp/cabin... worked well for two of us. but TINY!!! and DARK! photos really made it look both bigger and bright... not the case! generally clean - but under bed/furniture definitely needs vacuuming... cabin also needs updating. Windows could use replacing. Bathroom/shower window sill in the ever-so-small bathroom is black w ingrained mildew... yes. nice water access. and amazing 10ft tides on the beautiful Muscongus Bay... Basement bedroom/futon - is down some steep stairs... although there is an outside door... The attic loft twin bed space - again - careful! steep stairs... and only for kids! and the privacy? neighbors pretty close. hmmm... one neighbor is just across a fence/garden - the other is situated a bit further through some thin woods. but a very nice waterside deck! great sunsets! Overall - give the water/view a 5/5. House/accomodation 3/5. It was nice. Will we book again? No.

Another great stay in Friendship

This is our third time staying at Amy's waterfront cottage in Friendship, and it just keeps getting better. The home is spotlessly clean, the view is fabulous, and the hosts and neighbors are wonderful people. We love kayaking from the dock, and visiting the seals, the loons, and the eagles. We will return again and again!

Cozy waterfront cottage

We had a wonderful stay. Amy was terrific- gave us all the info we needed and kept in touch the entire trip. The house was cute and cozy and well stocked not only with essentials but also extras like games and kayaks and wood for the fire pit. The property was well maintained and the view was amazing. We will definitely stay here again.

What a magical spot on Delano Cove!We felt very lucky to have access to this beloved home in Friendship. And Amy was an amazing communicator throughout. As others have noted, the deck and dock are fabulous, and where we spent most of our time enjoying meals, playing cards, watching eagles and the occasional seal. I did yoga on the dock a couple of mornings and that was so peaceful.This was probably the cleanest summer cottage rental we have ever experienced!!! and the most well-stocked. *Note that you do need to bring your own linens and towels, but the owners thoughtfully provide ample pillows, blankets, cloth dish towels, dish soap, paper towels and toilet paper, which is unusual for Maine summer rentals.There is not much workspace in the kitchen, but that is because there is every pot, bowl, dish and tool that you can think of! The only other drawback is that the walls/floors are thin and the sleeping loft has no door so everyone hears everything throughout the cottage. Not ideal for 20-something’s who want to sleep in while their parents are up early making coffee. But we thoroughly enjoyed said coffee on the deck and our dog was right at home too. As Amy had assured me before we booked the rental, all of the neighbors have dogs and were very dog-friendly. The neighbors right next-door and across the street could not have been nicer and more welcoming to us. Truly, this a special Maine vacation spot in a convenient mid-coast location.

Peaceful Vacation

The views from the deck were absolutely stunning. The sunsets were vibrant and amazing over the ocean. We saw eagles, seals playing, and lots of wildlife. House was very cozy, and relaxing. If your trying to find a super relaxing, peaceful, getaway look no further this is the place for you! Owner was incredibly nice, upfront, and helpful. I would definitely rent from her again. The house has tons of information on places to visit, and sites to see.

Lovely cottage with amazing views

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was rustic but had everything we needed. The views were gorgeous and we loved just sitting on the deck relaxing. My husband and son only took the kayaks out once but they had fun. Amy was very responsive to any issues we had in a timely manner. We visited Damarascotta,Boothbay Harbor,Rockland and Camden. All within a half hour to 45 minute drive. Thanks for a great vacation,Amy!

Our second year in Friendship

This was our second year staying at Amy's cottage in Friendship, and our time here was again as wonderful and magical as the first. The cottage itself is very comfortable and clean, and Amy is a great host: communicative and clearly caring that her guests enjoy their time here. And enjoy we did: mornings on the deck, overlooking Muscongus Bay and its always entertaining theater; kayaking and visiting with the seals offshore; incredible sunsets over the water, not to be missed. The neighbors are welcoming and helpful. The midcoast location offers much to do, and nearby restaurants, like Jameson's, are great opportunities to enjoy fresh seafood in a casual atmosphere. We will be returning again and again.

Relaxing getaway!

Quiet town, not too far away from attractions. The kids, adults & dog alike enjoyed their stay very much. We all loved going out on the canoe & getting pleasantly startled by the seals. We explored the islands & saw beautiful eagles! The kids tried fishing but I don’t think it’s quite the ideal location for that. We went to the marina to purchase lobsters which were delicious. The house had everything that we needed and was exactly like the listing said. The deck is expansive and a perfect location to keep an eye on the dog & kids when they were playing by the dock at low tide. We had a couple of days that were rainy so we decide to do movies & a dinner in Rockland. The other day we just stayed in, watched some Netflix and read. I would certainly stay there again. The neighbors were very friendly and we had a great vacation.

Location

Cabin location plus private dock with kayaks & a canoe provided was wonderful! Pet-friendly- even better! Our grand-teens loved kayaks. We watched seals, lobster boats plus touring mid-coast towns. Only issue- LOOK CLOSELY at listing Notes! Renter must bring towels & bed linens- we had to go buy sheets for 5 beds plus towels. Kitchen well-stocked. Deck with view was terrific. Wouldn’t say “unsanitary” since sinks. Showers seemed clean but cabin Could use a good cleaning - if you drop something under a chair or bed you see dust that’s been accumulating quite a while and spider webs in loft that we cleaned before sleeping. We'd still go back again for all the other features.

Amazing Rustic Cabin In Friendship

Such a great property! Nice quiet property and neighbors. All the essentials available for a relaxing stay on the bay! Saw eagles, osprey, herons and harbor seals. Kayaking off the property is amazing and the view is spectacular! Enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning and plenty of kitchen basics and pantry items available. Great selection of books and games for rainy days and plenty of propane and firewood for the gas grill and wood fire pit. Queen size bedroom on first floor, queen futon in living room, full size futon in basement with separate bathroom and two twins in the loft gave us ample space to spread our abs relax. Communication with Amy was great, she is very responsive and accommodating! Loved that we could bring the pups, they enjoyed the vacation too! Highly recommended and would stay here again for another relaxing and amazing vacation, thanks for sharing your home with us!!

Lovely view but desperately needs work

The location, sitting on a shady ridge overlooking the bay is superb, picturesque. Peaceful and extremely relaxing. Neighbors very friendly. The house has a wonderful balcony where we spent hours enjoying the tranquil views and cooking on the nice grill. The house was very well-equipped with home supplies and kayaks, although the lack of washer and dryer is a considerable drawback for a family summer vacation. The space is small and feels a bit dank. Our joy was greatly impacted by the leaking septic system in the middle of the backyard emitting a foul odor - the kids had no yard to play in. The house had a number of issues that need attention: back sliding door does not lock, picnic table seat on balcony rotting & unstable, bathroom window frame moldy and water leaks through to basement, leaky pipe in basement, the mattress needs to be replaced, several light bulbs were out, whole house wiring needs an upgrade as there are very few accessible outlets, etc. The futon was covered in doghair. Sadly, when we mentioned these issues to the owner, they were rude and aggressive. A lovely area with great potential but we do not recommend the property.

We had a wonderful time! The view from the deck and the property is breathtaking. The location is perfect for a quiet, laid back home base to relax on the water while being close to day trips (within 1 hour) to beaches, restaurants, seafood markets, shopping, and excursions. The cottage is quaint and peaceful with a fully stocked kitchen. We appreciated the thorough instructions and recommendations, which answered any question we might have had! My only regret was not having a chance to get a kayak out on the water and that time wouldn't slow down more. We hope to return!

Enjoyed staying at this wonderful cottage located right on the ocean’s edge. Cottage is fully equipped with all you need to enjoy your stay. Best of all is the wonderful deck with 2 Adirondack rocking chairs overlooking the beautiful ocean’s edge. Also enjoyed reading the book on the history of Friendship.

Total relaxation

From the moment we arrived we were able to just relax, most of our time was spent sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the deck which has the most amazing view, we watched ,seals, bald eagles, lobster boats, we used the kayaks, sat on the dock deep into the night, saw many meteors, the night sky is so beautiful, thank you for allowing us this amazing rental. We are hopeful to come again. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, we were able to bring our dog which was a huge bonus to us.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Waldron

Host profile image
I own this home with my sisters and have been vacationing in Friendship since I was a small child. I can't imagine anywhere else I would rather own a vacation home.

Why they chose this property

This is the property my family rented when I was young. Years later my Father decided he wanted to purchase the property when it became available for sale. He spent many lovely weeks here before passing away. I love this home with its perfect view of the Bay and its cozy cabin feel.

What makes this property unique

I will never get tired of the beautiful view from this home. It changes with the seasons and the tides and is just spectacular
