Our favorite place to stay in Maine! Family friendly, easy check in, attentive host, stunning views, comfortable beds, thoughtful accomodations. We love the Maine themed books and kids toys. Great location near a campground - we walked out to the point each night to collect shells and enjoy the sunset. Close enough to Jonesport but far enough away to feel secluded. We enjoyed the fire pit several times as well. We love it here!

Blissful Bungalow on the Bay!

This was the second time my family and I stayed in Jonesport at Cornelia 's property - if possible, the cottage only got better! We absolutely love the peaceful location with stunning views, the comfortable cottage stocked with everything you could need or want and the centrality of Jonesport to so many enjoyable destinations without the crowds or price hikes of other areas. We so appreciate the thoughtful touches at the cottage like children's books and adult books with themes of the sea and lobster villages (we've learned a lot staying and reading!), your well equipped kitchen and the toys including toys and games that are locally made and sourced. Staying at this cottage is one of the few vacation spots where our family truly rests, leaves refreshed and is sad to leave! Till the next time!!!

Sweet cottage

This was the second time we stayed at this property. It is a delightful cottage that sits at the head of a cove; we never tired of watching the action in the harbor. The cottage itself is well appointed and had everything we needed! We wanted for nothing ! The host had supplied the house with everything ( laundry detergent! Drinking water! ), down to the tiniest details ( books ! Playing cards!), that we might need. We loved our stay , and hope to return next year !

Five Stars!

This was our 2nd year staying here and it is such a comfortable, clean, well thought-out space to call our home away from home for a week. The house is the perfect amount of space, very functional, and has everything we could need. We enjoyed a few gorgeous sunsets from the deck and enjoyed watching the eagles, ducks, deer, and porcupines that we saw in the yard during the week.

A relaxing vacation in Jonesport, Maine.

This cottage is so charming. It is clean, bright, and tastefully decorated. Light streams in the many windows giving an airy feel. An eagle was seen at the top of an evergreen tree across the glistening water of the cove at dusk one evening. A hummingbird was fluttering around the wild rose bush behind the house at times. We enjoyed many beautiful day trips from this property, and loved coming back “home” to the cottage in the evenings for a peaceful sleep.

A lovely home base for our family of four

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Jonesport! If anything, we thought that this cottage looked better in person than in the photos online. It was immaculately clean, nicely decorated, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The cottage overlooks a small cove on the outer edge of the working waterfront, so there is little boat traffic and is much quieter than we anticipated. There was a lot of bird activity in the yard; we saw and photographed quite a few different species! The mosquitoes seemed to ignore us when we were on the deck, but the minute we stepped foot into the yard, all bets were off; bring your choice of bug repellent! From this home base, we made trips to hike/walk on Beals Island, Great Wass Island, and at Roque Bluffs State Park, all of which were gorgeous. We took a day trip to Quoddy Head State Park, where we hiked along the shoreline and marveled at the stunning views, then spent some time in Lubec’s quaint downtown. The only dining options in Jonesport are two or three pizza/takeout/diner-type places, so if you want something different, plan to cook or drive further afield. Also, the well water in the cottage did have a fairly strong sulfurous smell as others have noted, so we just drank bottled water while there. All told, our family of four (two adults and two teenagers) had a lovely time and would highly recommend this spot to others.

Pristine view from cottage, a cove with fishing boats moored.

We had one sunny day the rest were cloudy/rainy but we had lots of reading material in the cottage and we traveled the half hour to Machias. You can’t miss Columbia Falls pottery shop and Bold coast coffee made in Machias and purchased at The Crow’s Nest a gift and flower shop. It was a relaxingn stay.

Beautiful home, amazing location!

This was by far the cleanest, most well equipped and organized house I have ever rented. The house itself it beautiful and we enjoyed looking at all the different artwork through out. The location cannot be beat… Woke up to a Bald Eagle in a tree across the cove and two seals playing right out back. The location allowed us to explore from Campobello Island down to Hancock easily and at the end of the long day we had a comfortable place to return to. The sunsets from the back deck or windows did not disappoint either. The kitchen was well stocked with anything we could have needed. Really cannot say enough good things about our stay.

Peace

We were so relaxed at the cottage. So easy to find, incredibly peaceful setting. The cottage is very well laid out. Of all the VRBO places we have stayed, my hubby and I felt that this was one we could actually live in comfortably. What a kitchen. 13 drawers. I do not not have that many in my own kitchen and my kitchen is very large. The designer of this cottage utilized every inch of the space to it's advantage. The views were stunning, even when there was fog and rain. Centrally located to so many lovely spots to visit. Be prepared that places shut down early. There is no late evening snack runs. The water pressure for the shower could be better, but it worked fine for us. Be sure to read the book left by the owner on the history of the cottage and instructions. We hope to come again very soon. Be sure to bring mosquito coils, citronella candles and deep woods off. Love, love, love this spot. Thank you, Cornelia for sharing your lovely place with us. Sincerely, Karin and Lee Pike

Cottage on Sawyer's Cove Jonesport, Maine

Property was exceptionally clean and organized with ample guiding notes from the owner (Nina). Beautiful private location with sights and sounds of a working harbor in the background and natural areas up close (mixed forest, tidal mud flats). Abundant bird life including Bald Eagles , Great Blue Herons, various shore birds and Wood Warblers. The location is a great base to use while exploring the many natural areas and outdoor activities the Bold Coast of Down East Maine offers. The only detracting feature of the property is the well water supply which has a brackish odor. We used bottled water for drinking, ice and cooking and used the well water for washing only. This was easy to manage for us and would not stop us from renting the property again (which we would).

Killer views!

Nina's property in Jonesport was the perfect place to spend our first family vacation! Her photos on VRBO don't do the lovely property justice - it's open, spacious, bright, cheery and with a killer view. Things we loved: - Master bedroom with three huge windows and sliding glass doors to let in all those bay breezes - Washer and dryer in the en suite bathroom downstairs - Multiple rooms upstairs with a door to enclose the upstairs (perfect for our two year old to take naps - she slept better in Jonesport than she does at home!) - Delightful decorations and appointments (books, magazines, DVDs, kids toys, well stocked kitchen) - Sandy River Beach, a quick drive away. Hardly ever full or people, great spot to find shells or rocks. - Bad Little Brewing in Machias (homemade food and house brewed beer) - Floatsum & Jetsum, the local artisan shop in Jonesport Things you should know before you go: - The well water wasn't a huge issue for us (as mentioned in previous reviews). We used it to bathe, to wash our clothes and dishes and boil food. We got several jugs of water for drinking and making coffee at the local supermarket. - Nina is an amazing host, thoughtful, generous and prepared. She'll make you feel at home! - You won't want to leave.
