Ideal Maine Experience

We’ve been visiting Maine for about 30 years, exploring new places each time. Our stay at White Cottage was by far the closest to our vision of the quintessential coastal Maine experience. The on-the-water location made for perfect sleeping, with sea breezes and surf sounds. The rustic, comfortable house had everything we needed. The history of the cottage and the obvious love the owners have for it made the place feel like much more than just another summer rental. Even on foggy, rainy days, the wood stove and ocean view provided warmth and contentment. The porch swing was hard to leave. From the bottle of wine that greeted us to the heavy fog that bid us farewell, we enjoyed every moment of our time at the cottage, and we would gladly return.

A refuge for the soul

Peaceful, comfortable, very accommodating home More so than the website leads you to believe.. The history depicted in the old photographs along with writings from generations of the family owners, lends to the charm. People who come here love it you feel that.

Beautiful place and neighborhood.

Pro: Very clean, beautiful setting, quiet neighborhood, supplied with everything one would need. Con: Long way for older people to carry everything from garage to house. Having to take recyclables and garbage to dump, and asked to water plants. It is a vacation!?!?
