Lovely Cottage by the Sea

This is our 5th year staying at the cottage. Our first few visits were shared with a long-time friend but we have visited with our son, daughters and grandchild the last two years. It is just the right size for our family of 6.We love sitting on the porch and watching and listening to the waves as the tides come in and out. The sunrises are amazing and this years display of northern lights was magical. We also enjoy the nearby Farnsworth Museum, Langlaise Art Preserve and Finnish Heritage House.

Great Oceanfront Home

Very comfortable and well-equipped cottage. Comfortable bed in master bedroom and plenty of closet space. Washer & dryer an added bonus to the amenities. The hosts were very welcoming and very attentive to our inquiries. Views from the cottage were beautiful and ever changing with the tides. The whoopie pies at McCloons were phenomenal. We are returning next year.

We had a wonderful week. The view is spectacular! We enjoyed sitting on the porch after a long day to relax. The property is well maintained and very clean with a well equipped kitchen which we appreciate. It was great returning to this part of Maine after several years' absence. The hosts were great and attentive to our needs.

Little piece of Heaven

This is the perfect place to kick back. Cindi and Richard are great hosts. The house is clean and well stocked, beds are comfortable, screened in porch on a rocker and adirondacks on the pier with a million dollar view are the perfect places to peel away your stress. The beach is a perfect place to swim (cold water), launch kayaks or just explore. A short drive to Thomaston and Rockland for shopping and all the activities. Enjoyed the house, enjoyed the festivities and enjoyed the fresh seafood - Perfect Vacation! Thanks Cindi and Richard!!!

Maine 2024

We loved our stay at the cottage! Cindi and Richard were great hosts and had everything we could possibly need at the cottage. We absolutely loved the front screened in porch and would spend most morning and evenings on the porch listening to the waves hitting the shore. We really liked that the location was central to so many things. We made a fire in the fire pit one night sitting on the Adirondack chairs (Richard and Cindi even provided us wood for the fire). My 6 yr. old grandson really enjoyed going to the beach area at low tide and searching for "treasure" (sea glass). We can't wait to return next year!

We had a wonderful stay the last week of September. The cottage was great - peaceful and quiet, yet alive with the sky and water and geese! We enjoyed the views out the windows, the great screened in porch, and all the interesting points to visit in the area. It was outfitted with everything we might need. Richard and Cindi were great hosts, and fun to chat with.

Unforgettable Views!

Don't know where to start, it was a great 12 days including the weather which couldn't have been nicer if it were planned that way. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, the location and views were postcard perfect. Cindi & Richard were excellent host, very hometown friendly as were all the neighbors. My wife and 11-year-old granddaughter really enjoyed their time on the cottage owners lobster boat so much so they both wanted to go out again. This is definitely a place that deserves a return trip!

Quiet, Cozy and Spectacular Views

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin so much! The solitude and the views were exceptional. Yet, we were close enough to the Thomaston/Rockdland/Rockport/Camden area to take in all of the sights. The cabin itself is cozy and has all of the amenities you need. It's nothing fancy, but it met our needs perfectly. Our highlight was having Richard, the host, take us out on his lobster boat one day. We had a great time learning about the lobster business. In support of his business, we ate as much lobster as we could! We already booked the cabin for next year! Thank you to Richard and Cindi for being such gracious hosts.
