Quiet waterfront cottage

The cottage is lovely and we enjoyed sitting on the deck, watching the boats and the wildlife (cranes/herons, gulls, ducks, and geese). This is the most peaceful and quiet place we have ever stayed! It is well stocked and very comfortable. Thank you for a great vacation!

Don’t Pass This Place Up

Amazing property. Beautifully furnished, well appointed, perfectly clean, and best of all that fabulous covered porch with its fabulous view. We sat out there every morning and evening and enjoyed seeing bald eagles, ospreys, harbor seals, a mother loon teaching her little ones how to fish. Just amazing. If we are ever in this area again, we would definitely like to stay here rather then anywhere else.

A Little Piece of Paradise

Lovely relaxing stay! Beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces. We spent hours watching wildlife on the spacious comfy porch. Morse’s food truck, less than 5 minutes by car, was a nice surprise and provided many a takeout supper. Swimming off the dock, kayaking, star gazing and just “doing nothing” were the perfect entertainment for all of us!

Lovely in so many ways

This cottage truly wowed us. It is beautiful and well-made, clean and comfortable with some cozy features, The kitchen has absolutely everything you might need. The porch puts this cottage over the top. It is like another room in the house overlooking this lovely cove. It is well-covered and with comfortable furniture. Enjoy many morning coffees and evening drinks there! And the location is a plus. Easy trips to town or Portland or great areas to the north. Highly recommend.

Best cottage ever

The views, the location, the interior decor was all beyond our expectations. Manager was prompt and friendly with answers. Amenities perfect. We didn't want to leave. Actually, when we first walked in, I told my husband I wasn't leaving. In my mind.... I'm still there. Enjoy!

Peaceful

The place we stayed was very peaceful. We always got up early to catch a beautiful sunrise. A beautiful place to kayak, take walks and have cup of coffee on the back porch. The area was fun to explore - local college museum of art was fantastic and the small shops in the local area as well as Bath. We enjoyed our stay very much - and wished it could have been longer.

Absolutely Beautiful!

Words can’t describe the beautiful setting of Rose Cottage. Check-in was a breeze, too. The cottage is well appointed and comes equipped with everything needed for a wonderful stay. My family of four stayed here for one week and the kids loved the sleeping loft. The covered back deck is a real bonus and comes complete with fire pit, outdoor games and kayaks. We will definitely stay again!
