Pet Friendly Secluded Waterfront Home w/ Private Dock & Amazing View
MARR COTTAGE The 2Br / 2 Bath cottage is very clean & provides all the modern amenities Including a automatic generator. The 2nd Fl Master Suite w/ Loft has its own private bathroom & shower. The South / Southwest ocean breeze cools the cottage & the large ceiling fan circulates the ocean air throughout. Watch Bald Eagles & Osprey soar overhead from the elevated front deck. You may see fish jumping or seals swimming around the bay. It is a very Private location w/ No other homes visible. Hike, Bike, Kayak or Fish from the property or go to one of the beautiful parks like Reid State Park, which is minutes away. The Private Dock is a great place to start your adventure. It has a swim ladder that makes it very easy to get in & out. We provide a canoe you can use to explore the bay & islands. There are two state owned uninhabited islands just in front of the cottage. Experience the unique 9 foot tide change we have in Maine. At Low tide when the water recedes….you see the bottom of the bay and at high tide you’ll have up to 9 feet of water at the dock. Lobsters are available at Five Island wharf fresh from our fishing men/women or buy them at Plants seafood in Bath among other places. What would a vacation be without mans best friend? We say bring him or her with you :) We allow dogs and cats of responsible pet owners. We hope you will come enjoy Maine in our peaceful cottage..

This house is very well set up with great views. The dock is great at high tide and you are very close to Reid State Park which has a great beach. The pictures don't quite do it justice...it is even nicer than it looks. Owners are friendly, but they leave you fully to yourselves. Highly recommended.
My family enjoyed this cute cottage - we had a comfortable stay, our 2nd time in Georgetown. We like the proximity of this cottage to 5 islands and reid state park. Secluded yet close by to what you need. The views were exceptional. Easy check in and check out, too!
Our family of four and our pup had the best time in Georgetown. House is clean and as pictured. Location was perfect for our curious pup! Five stars all around.
This was our second stay at the property and everything was perfect! The owners are very responsive and available. The house is spotless and had everything we need, and the area is secluded and peaceful. We really enjoyed the Five Islands Lobster company and Reid State Park, and spent some time walking around the harbor in Bath. It was a relaxing and beautiful vacation, and we couldn’t have imagined a better week!
Beautiful location with a wonderful view of the Kennebec River. It is very private and tranquil with many amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed this cottage.
Could wish for a better vacation. The view was excellent and interesting. The shift in the tides made it exciting. The house was well equipped and clean. All necessities were available. Close to busy marinas.
The house was perfectly located in a quiet spot with great views that allowed us to unwind yet close enough to many activities. Everything we needed was supplied and the pool table and dart board made to a relaxing end to the day. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Jaana and Thomas,
We all had such a wonderful time. We kayaked every morning. We saw a bald eagle every day while we were there. The house was nice and clean and had a gorgeous view. The pool table and darts were a nice bonus. It was private, peaceful and beautiful.. We loved the Georgetown pottery and the Maine blueberries too!
Thank you for sharing your amazing home.
Best Regards,
Keith and Lori Neil
Property well stock with cleaning supplies and towels. Beds were made and very comfortable. Excellent views of the water and the mesmerizing incoming and out going tides. Perfect location for surrounding things to do. Will definitely consider returning
We had a fantastic week at Marr Cottage! It was so clean, spacious, and private! A great place to spend a week. Our dog and young daughter loved the large yard… Kayaking from the shore at high tide was a highlight of the week. The location is beautiful and very private. Close to Reid State Park and Five Islands. We can’t wait to return! Thanks for a wonderful week!
Property was marked well and easy to find. Communication with hosts was easy and they were very responsive. The home has everything you need to enjoy, coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher, hairdryer etc. it is an inviting home open and spacious and the view is Spectacular!
We enjoyed the property, the canoe, and time did not permit us to enjoy the fire pit, but we hope to next time. Reeds State Park is a short drive away and it’s always always enjoyable. We had a great time.
The property itself is very beautiful, with cloud like beds and linens. The kitchen has all of the amenities to enjoy utilizing daily. A great barbecue. Two full bathrooms up and down. Spacious rooms, spacious everything. An amazing downstairs, filled with a pool table, darts, a huge screen TV. Comfy leather couch.
The view. The view was amazing. Absolutely breathtaking. The property itself is set apart so you feel like you are private, even though there are neighbors, you don’t see their properties.
There is a spacious lawn, beautiful green lawn, blue blue water, coming in and out with the Tide. Gorgeous Dock.
A canoe to use, although we did not get a chance to do so. We were a little bit early in the season. But we did have a chance to put our feet in the water at one point off of the dock.
The view is readily available from the kitchen, dining room, as well as the living room area, couch. There is a little bit of the view with some of the water, and woods, from the lower level bedroom-If you’re laying on the bigger of the two beds.
I cannot even explain how much stress we’ve been under, a lot of family stuff, health issues, all kinds of stuff. This was absolutely the most relaxing place we’ve been in forever.
Absolutely 100% the best!
We had the best time during our week at this cottage. The location was perfect for us. It was secluded (there’s a house next to the cottage but you really don’t notice it). It was very relaxing, with unbelievably beautiful views from the property, the inside of the cottage, but especially the dock! We saw bald eagles, herons, and even a couple of seals! The house was so charming and VERY clean. The size was perfect for our family and dog. We were so grateful to find such a wonderful rental that allows us to bring our dog! Our three girls (ages 6, 7 and 9) were completely comfortable in the room on the main floor, with the two younger sharing the double bed and the oldest in the twin. The girls had a lot of fun using the basement area, playing darts, pool and watching TV on the large screen TV down there. We had so much fun using the fire pit and there was PLENTY of wood provided which was such a nice bonus! The girls thoroughly enjoyed jumping off the dock and swimming during high tide and it was so wild to see the differences between the high and low tide. Our dog was unfortunately not able to swim…she had an injury before coming and was not allowed to get wet 😢 but any dog would love it! We visited Five Islands for lobster (very close to the cottage), Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor and found lots of dog friendly things to do! The cottage was a great central location! The owners were very welcoming and available if we had questions. We loved this vacation!

All of the pictures on the app came to life!!! Words can't express the beauty & serenity of Marr Cottage!! Pristine, fully equipped, spacious, stunning views with windows thru out..the tide changes were beyond fascinating!! We and our adult children were blessed to have picked this gorgeous relaxing place for our very 1rst trip to MAINE!! Fall colors & weather were fantastic!! Daughter & Son canoed this bay to one if it's many islands!! We fished the dock area..watched eagles soar..& loved the openness of the wrap around porch over looking the yard and had wonderful campfires by moonlight on the waters edge!! LOCATION? The best!! Beautiful short drives to parks, beaches, massive rock formations, shipyards & of course fabulous eating, shops & more!! We were greeted with fresh flowers & a personal note welcoming us & & even a park pass for entry to the State Parks..we spent time with owners Tom & Yanna which was also a highlight of our vacation..charming hosts, fun & down to earth..doglovers.. who love their beautiful MAINE..and were thrilled that we did too!! Our family of 4 adults, have been immersed in the peaceful, amazing, breathtaking adventures of our vacation!! Our hearts will be forever connected to our experience here!!! ..This year was our 40th wedding anniversary..this vacation special with our adult children.. PRICELESS!!... MARR COTTAGE IS NOT JUST A RENTAL..BEING HERE NOT JUST A VACATION..TRULY A DESTINATION FOR ALL WHO COME HERE..to experience the BEST....."THE WAY LIFE WAS MEANT TO BE!!" Thank-you seems to be an inefficient word phrase.. TOM & YANNA...MAINE & MARR COTTAGE??? WE LOVED IT..Now we would love to return and this IS the cottage...PERFECTION!!
Clean as a hotel but better in all other regards. We had a wonderfully peaceful stay at the cottage! There was a surprise (to us) pool table in the basement which topped things off.
The home was the perfect size for 4 of us. The kitchen had everything we needed and was good size for the overall size of the home. No complaints at all! We loved the time we spent both in the home and sitting around the fire pit, which was very well stocked with good dry firewood to use. Overall a really nice experience.
Beautiful Maine shoreline setting. Big yard for the pup. Access to water for kayaking or using the provided canoe. House layout is perfect for hosting guests. Pool and darts in the basement or firepit for evening fun. Very clean, well equipped kitchen with comfortable beds. What more could you want?
Property was very nice. The setting was tranquil, serene and as private as the listing and other reviews boasted. The 8 mile trek to get on and off the property was different but natives likely adjust. Jaana was professional, efficient and very accessible if needed.
Not our first visit to this property but it never disappoints. Beautiful location and the house has all of the comforts of home. We traveled with 2 kids under 2 and they had a great time as well. We will be back! Tom and Jaana are wonderful hosts.
