Westport Island holiday cottage

We needed a week away. Where to go? Downeast. To be alone..get away from everything. Watch the lobstermen from the porch..Watch the birds..The bald eagle was beautiful. The lobster co-op within walking distance. Why walk? just went down on the dock and bought Looey's right off the boat. It doesn't get any better than this. The moon shines on the river at night..the stars ..so many...so bright. The home ...the real deal. Jaw dropping.... When walking in ..the loft..the fireplace..state of the art appliances. The decor...Downeast....Gorgeous.. Just bring your loved one and a toothbrush and go. You will realize you have made one of the best decisions of your life. We will be back...Thank you so much Laurie and Dick for the time of our life.

Nice comfortable little house! The view is fantastic. We even got to see the seals a few times--once while kayaking. Very quiet and relaxing. Saw a bald eagle early one morning. Loved the fireplace on those chilly mornings.

One thing the house definitely needs is internet access. We had many brochures about the area---but quite a few of them only gave a short description of something and then had "see our website for more details". The local library is not convenient at 11pm when you are looking for your next day's adventures.

Also, a nice size flat screen tv would have been a great asset for those movie nights.

Cooked all our meals in--lobster 3 nights!!! Lobster Co-Op is great. Drove all over the place discovering the area.

Owners are very nice to deal with. Very accommodating.

Would stay here again and I have recommended it to friends.

My wife and I were looking to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary at a secluded, quiet retreat, where we could relax, read, enjoy the views and be comfortable ... BOY I thank GOD I found Laurie and her husband's place!
The location was perfect, and as I opened the door,I was floored! The only words I could muster was O.M.G.!!!
The Donovan's thought of everything, from the pots and pans, to the wine glasses, to the binoculars, anything we needed was there. I was amazed not only of the VIEW, but how clean and modern everything was! As my wife kept saying It is so tastefully decorated! Agreed! The shutters blew me away!! and so did the oar! Again, I can not say enough!
If you want to shop, FREEPORT, and BOOTH BAY, are a short drive away, not to mention WISSCASET. A little further if you are adventurous, is CAMDEN & ROCKPORT , not to be missed, and places to eat are everywhere in the towns I mentioned, There is Reds Eats ( Really Wicked Lobstah Roll) or for breakfast you can go to Marketplace Cafe across from Shaw's on RT 1. Best sausage links ever and the biscuits and gravy... Incredible. The majority of the time we did dine in, again everything you need is there. I was so inspired by the place, I did not screw up one meal, it all turned out perfect.
I do want to THANK Laurie and her husband again, for the 1000th time, they were gracious attentive and very caring hosts to our perfect week!! You guys are responsible for the beginning of another 30 years of wonderful memories!
To the cottage, We'll see you next year, Laurie keep in touch and YES, I would recommend it to all!!
