Great property. Kitchen was well equipped and appliances were all in great shape. Loved the Maine cabin feeling. The whole property was very welcoming and comfortable. Water view wasn’t as good as pictured, but owner said the trees had grown up over the past year, and due to restrictions on wetlands, could not be removed until permitting was approved. This did not take away from the property, and it was a short walk to a city path which was a well used gravel path into downtown Belfast. About a mile walk. Views of the river from the path were awesome.

Perfect stay in Belfast

This was the cutest cottage for our first trip to Maine! We loved taking our dog for walks on the trails behind the house. There was plenty of wildlife and beauty right behind the house. This was the best place for birdwatching! We could hear the loons from our window at night, and we saw them in the lake a few times. The cottage itself was beautifully decorated, spotless, and had everything we needed for cooking dinners. The host, Jon, was quick to respond to our questions and made the whole stay seamless with his kindness and hospitality. Belfast is a wonderful town with shops and views of the river. We preferred it compared to more crowded places like Bar Harbor. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely Coastal Cottage

This was the perfect home base for my husband and me to get to know the sweet town of Belfast and surrounding mid-coastal communities. The home is simple but well designed and nicely decorated. Convenient to a walking trail into town. We hope to return!

Great getaway in Belfast

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property and would definitely stay here again. Even though it rained the majority of the time, the cottage was cozy and well appointed so it didn’t really affect our stay. Now THAT is a good rental! Jon was an excellent host and very communicative too.

Cute cottage

Adorable cottage for a small group or couple. It’s in a nice location with access to a walking trail into town, and to a deep water dock on the river down some somewhat rickety stairs. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything one would need. Jon was easy to reach and quick to respond during our stay. He was a super nice guy, as well. We would stay here again, if we had the chance.

Thank you for a quiet relaxing get away

Lovely clean, comfortable cottage with everything you need. Jon came down to greet us and was very welcoming. The cottage is clean and comfortable for the both of us and our 2 small dogs. We enjoyed Belfast and the surrounding area. The bike path is a stones throw away and was a lovely easy ride into town and a nice path to walk your dogs. Thank you for a nice stay.

Nice place but not great

My husband, dog, and I stayed there for a few days in early May. The weather wasn’t that great but that’s not the host problem.The home though was not what we expected, nor was there any communication about check-in and checkout, and or where the proper appliances were and/or the garbage disposal. We discovered that all on our own.What I had read in the comments, it sounded great however there wasn’t sufficient paper products (I.e. Paper towel towels/toilet paper). I was smart enough to bring a roll of paper towels, and when we stopped at the local grocery store and picked up two rolls of toilet paper.On the website, it says that they were sufficient in the kitchen and had a lobster pot. Well guess what someone took their lobster pot because it’s wasn’t there. We went to Young’s Lobster pound and had them cook our lobster and brought it back with us.All in all the place wasn’t very clean and the couch was not comfortable whatsoever. I had to actually sit on a pillow for support.The home needs some updates. But it is a great location, but be aware of the pictures are deceiving.

Cute Cottage-just add a few items!

The cottage was clean and well maintained with a front deck with seating and a back patio with a table and 4 chairs, a grill, and a small fireplace. The view of the water is there, but distant. Its a short walk to the rail trail, which was very pleasant. The cottage is on a main road, so you do hear the cars going by, but it did quiet down at night. There is a loft, with a double bed and half bath. Its completely open to the downstairs, so there is very little privacy. Every footfall or turn in the bed upstairs, or use of the bathroom was heard in our bedroom downstairs. The stairway risers are all open and the stairs are a bit steep, so caution is recommended. The kitchen is great - all new appliances, etc. I suggest bringing a good knife and a frying pan, if you plan to cook in at all. I recommend to the owner to put a rubber safety mat in the shower - it is very slippery! Overall, we had a great time visiting Belfast and friends, and were comfortable in the cottage.

A lovely cabin but no real water view unless at dock. Dock is totally accessible for an able body! Harbor walk is behind home and just fabulous….right into town!! We had a bump in the road with wet, smelly towels but response was immediate to correct!!! Well equipped kitchen!! Would recommend this cabin but listing should be updated to present view which is blocked by foliage and explain dock is a small hike and not for those who may not have great mobility.

Loved the privacy and location of this house. It was perfect for us and our son who stayed with us for several days. The outdoor space was enjoyable for dining and lawn games. Loved early morning walks on the Rail Path and sunny afternoons on the dock. Only a short walk to downtown Belfast for shopping and eating. Enjoyed a day trip to Fort Knox and the Bridge tower and to Camden.

What a wonderful setting and place, just a little walk through a summer meadow from the rail trail and river, and a short walk or bike ride into Belfast. Jon's cottage (he built it!) is perfect - airy, comfortable and well equipped. We saw multiple eagles, a variety of songbirds, a loon and more. A perfect getaway any time of the year, and a lovely base to take in all the beauty of Maine.

It was a charming cottage in dreamy surroundings! We loved our week in the very comfy cabin with great kitchen, dock with kayaks, beautiful grounds and flowers, and trail into town to see the shipyard, sailboats, and quaint Main Street. It was also great fun to have our dog with us and throw the frisbee on the expansive lawn.
