Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful time staying @ this camp for a week. The owners are very responsive on any issue. And the check in & check out process is seamless. Just a beautiful spot and the camp is very clean and well maintained. We will defiantly rent again. It has the best view. Mark & Veronica Bouley

Paradise

Absolutely stunning views, the cottage sits on the rocks next to the beautiful green water. Watching the tide come and go is mesmerizing, very relaxing. It was also fun to watch the “lobstah” boats leave early each morning and wait for their return in the afternoon with their catch.

Happy people and happy pets!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Milbridge. We enjoy "staycations" where we can spend a week sitting by the ocean to read, craft, and enjoy nature. This was definitely that retreat for us. If you're looking for a place with all the newest gadgets and modern comforts, this probably isn't for you. If you're looking for a quiet place to relax and recharge, it's perfect! We especially loved that our pets were able to enjoy the salty breeze with us.

Awesome!

Quiet! Secluded! Beautiful! Spent a great week with entire family, and enjoyed every minute. Cabin had everything we needed and more. Groceries and restaurants nearby. Did I mention quiet? Just the low grumble of lobster boats picking up and resetting their pots. Serene and beautiful!

Charming and perfect!

LOVED our stay at this adorable waterfront cabin. We could not have asked for anything more perfect for us. The view of the ocean out that big window, sitting on the deck soaking in the morning sunrise while watching fishing boats; watching the Milky Way at night then falling asleep to the sounds of the waves lapping on the rocks right outside the window was a dream. Kayaking, shell hunting, nature watching, cruising the coastal towns - just the perfect spot. The cabin was funky and adorable and fit us just right. Plenty of room for us to spread out or be all together in the living room. So much room in that cabin and we really do plan on returning with maybe a couple more family members in tow! Two bathrooms and plenty of sleeping space. Yes, all beds are singles, but we've been married for years, so it wasn't a deal breaker for us! LOL! The owner was so very nice. I can't say enough about how communicative, thoughtful, and kind he was. It was perfectly clean. We did not see a mouse, but we live in the mountains and we are not stranger to mice - regardless of how fancy you think your house may be, where we live EVERYONE gets a visit from the little critters. This is a rustic, summer cabin. For any one who has had negative comments regarding seeing a mouse, I would say their expectations are not in line with reality. For us, it was the most perfect place, with the most perfect hosts, in the best time of the year and we could not have asked for more from our first visit to the east coast! Thank you for making it so great!

Magical Coastal Getaway!

The cabin is rustic and beautiful. It echoes with generations of the family's love for it, and we felt truly blessed to be given the opportunity to stay there. Penny and Reg welcomed us graciously and made us feel right at home. We spent our days watching lobstermen working their traps, drinking coffee in the cool morning sea fog, warming in the sunshine by late morning, climbing on the rocks and seeing the progression of the tides, walking the grounds glimpsing the local deer, and playing games by the fireplace in the evenings. The location and cabin is as Rustic and "DownEast" as they come, but with the comforts of home, and is truly magical. What a wonderful week!

Ralaxation pure

If you want to get away from all the hussle and bussle this is the place to stay. But Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor is still reachable in an hour. Overall we had a wonderful stay

Off the Grid

This is a cabin, it does not claim to be anything else! With that being said, this place was AMAZING! The views from the dinner table, the side porch, & even the kitchen sink were all beautiful & peaceful! Our visit was in late September, so with the cold nights, the fireplace was fantastic! 1/4 mile down the road (walking distance) is McCellan Park with the big rocks & big views. Up the road a bit is place to get lobsters right off the boat! We enjoyed a delicious dinner of steamers and lobster, which we prepared at the cabin. The small quaint little town of Milbridge has everything you need, but it's still close enough to Bar Harbor if this is one of your goals. We took a boat adventure with the Robertson Sea Tours, who even let us bring our dogs along. The location is private and serene. Watching the lobster boats head out daily, the beautiful sunrises, leisurely walks and the contrasting high and low tides made our days picture perfect. The house and kitchen were well stocked. There was plenty of room for our two teenage kids and two dogs. The owner's communication was great. We'll definitely be back!

Mildew and Mice / Not So Nice

My family of five stayed here -- two adults and three young children. We are fans of Downeast Maine and stayed in Machiasport the summer before at a lovely place off the grid. We wanted a shorter drive from our house so we picked Milbridge, and even though no reviews were available for this place we took a gamble. We knew the accommodations would be more cabin/cottage-y -- bunk beds and twin beds throughout, no A/C, no outdoor dining furniture. We've stayed at rustic places, so we actually appreciated some of the amenities here: working outdoor gas grill, WiFi, TV, and a washing machine. But not long after we arrived it seemed obvious the sheets weren't clean; the bedding smelled of body odor (Be aware there is no cleaning service pre check-in. The checkout instructions clearly indicate it's the previous renter's responsibility for cleaning and making beds for the next guests). Also, the sunroom wasn't swept and a general dampness was felt and smelt throughout. Mildew was noticeable on the beams of the "master" bedroom. We bought detergent at the local supermarket to wash the sheets and during the wash cycle water leaked on the floor. A few days later we noticed MICE -- two scurrying along the kitchen counters and droppings on the top of the refrigerator and on open shelving, including where the dishes and glassware are stored. We emailed the owner that night to let him know that we had enough and were leaving, halfway into our stay. His response can be characterized as more appalled by my description of the experience than sympathetic to us. After agreeing to refund half the stay he called me back a week later asking me to cover a repair to the washing machine. After I disagreed and he relented it was clear the check we received had some of this repair deducted from the total. This is a clear example of someone not very experienced at renting and unconcerned with ensuring a pleasant stay for guests. A lax approach to key maintenance and cleanliness concerns and an incredibly poor customer service approach would infuriate any renter, especially a family on vacation. I'm honestly surprised he didn't try to charge me with an exterminator bill. PLEASE PASS ON this place.

We are completely flumoxed by this review, as so much of it is unfounded. We were not informed of any issues until we saw Christie's review after she checked out. We received no emails or messages through the app. We brought in a pest control company who found no evidence of mice. Christie also complained of numerous issues that were 100% without merit. The one thing that is semi-correct is that she broke the washer by overloading it— and didn’t let us know. We actually had to have it repaired at our expense and the water cleaned up. We have had excellent reviews on other platforms and were seriously dismayed by this review. Over the winter I appealed to both Vrbo and Christie to remove it. She refused to answer us and Vrbo said they were powerless to do anything. Finally, we decided to skip Vrbo this season and move to another platform. However, we suddenly received numerous bookings and were now completely booked for the summer. The cabin is literally feet from the bay. While we can’t control the moisture in a screened-in porch (the “sunroom,” as she called it), the rest of the cabin has tight working windows and doors.

Magical spot in Milbridge Maine

The natural beauty and serenity of this spot cannot be overstated. The views are second to none. A true gem full of charm. A rustic “camp” with an extremely well equipped, modest kitchen. A working fire place kept us warm every night. Surrounded by books, games and puzzles along with the ever changing tides made for beautiful memories. The owner was extremely helpful. Communication was excellent and much appreciated.
