Amazing

Upsate New Yorker Salem, NY
Review Submitted: October 21, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Best week we have had in years. Even though we had cool temps. and 3 days of rain it was wonderful. The layout of the house is perfect, beds comfortable, and when necessary the space heaters and fire place warmed the home perfectly. Played Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit and a jigsaw puzzle, lots of family time and relaxation. Late big breakfast a the cottage everyday - can't ask for more than that. Watching the lobsterman 20 feet from the deck was great. Even got to see a seal go by. We look forward to returning next year. We had lobster from the local co op $4 a pound, dinner at the Boathouse was amazing - try the spanish cheese plate for an apptizer and the seafood paella. Yum! Yum!

The descritption of the property was accurate, the owners were great, even gave us a bottle of wine as a welcome gift. I would recommend this to anyone.

Peace and Quiet!

NH Debbie North Sandwich, NH
Review Submitted: October 2, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Our time at this cottage on Wesport Island was just what the doctor ordered! It was quiet, relaxing, private and had views to die for! Right on the water! The accomodations were perfect...beds comfortable, internet fast, cable tv great and a fully equipped home away from home. Meg could not have been nicer! The location is excellent, a short drive to Route 1 and Wiscasset but also not that far from Rockport and Camden. We cannot wait to return!

A place you can belive in

H & L Tennessee
Review Submitted: November 3, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
If you are looking for the perfect spot , this is it. You can belive the photos and any description. We spent a wonderful week here in October. The cottage had all that we wanted ,ie books, movies, a good kitchen,a king size bed and a view to forever. We were lucky to have a full moon too.

I do want to return. The host made us welcome and even said she would cook our lobsters if we didn't know how!

How nice is that?...perfect I say. H & L.

Perfect Maine escape

AmyJ New Jersey
Review Submitted: October 7, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
My husband and I spent a week here at the beginning of September with close friends (another couple) and our dog. It was pure heaven. The view is one of the best on the Sheepscot, hands down. Sit on the dock in the morning and watch the lobstermen pull pots. Relax on the deck in the evening and see seals playing along Upper Mark Island across the way. This spot offers the exact kind of atmosphere that keeps us coming back to Maine when we need to get away.

The location is close to Wiscassett, where there's plenty of cute shopping and you cannot beat Red's for what really is the best lobster roll in Maine. A decent supermarket is within about a 15 minute drive if you're like us and realize you need a pint of ice cream at 9pm on a Wednesday night too. Another 15 minutes gets you to Boothbay Harbor or Damariscotta.

The owners couldn't be more gracious. They're next door and give the right amount of welcome and space. They were a pleasure to meet and get to know.

We were lucky to find this spot and won't hesitate to book this place again!

Superb Location and Hosts

Westport Jay Burlington, VT
Review Submitted: April 1, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2007
I have rented this cottage for many years from Meg and Carl. I now own a cottage nearby and will miss it. Nothing compares to the location and view of this cottage. You are perched just above the water with a dead-on view of the mouth of the Sheepscot River and open Atlanitc ocean with Hendricks Head Lighthouse in the cnetr of the view. Meg Carl, and Julia are unfailingly friendly and thoughtful. They have all the local knowledge for how to get cheap lobsters, day trips, and cool out of the way restaurants. There is a small Beach in easy walking distance also. Great place for a can't miss vacation.
