This is by far one of the best vacation spots my wife and I have experienced (having also visited Kauai and Costa Rica, this place ranks up there!). As the pictures show, it is on top of the water. We spent hours just sitting on the front porch listening to loons, gulls, song birds, reading books, grilling food, taking photos and basking in the midcoast environment. We spent some considerable time paddle boarding up and down the Muscongus Sound and explored nearby inlets and islands, all while interacting with seals! Sharon and Dick couldn't be nicer people and welcomed us graciously. They're very laid back and are just awesome hosts. We highly recommend this gem to anyone looking to have an intimate Maine coast experience in a quiet and relaxing setting. You're just down the road from good restaurants in Damariscotta. We highly suggest the Damariscotta Grill! The one thing to note is the space is small (one room and a bathroom)...but this is what make it a perfect space for couples or a single person. Don't hesitate...this spot is worth it. Thank you Sharon and Dick for your hospitality! We'll be back.

Our stay with Sharon and Dick was near perfect. Their cozy little cottage is truly a fantastic gem. Everything about it from the location and neighborhood, to the spectacular views, the deck, the ever-changing cove, the wildlife, to the cleanliness and tastefully appointed cabin. Our entire experience there and while out exploring the surrounding area was magical. In just a few days we were able to experience fantastic beaches, go on some great hikes, squeeze in a long bike ride around the peninsula and consume a lot of lobster (so much, in fact, that I almost got tired of eating it - almost)! Thanks folks!

What a wonderful cottage perched right on the water! Sharon and Dick thought of everything when they outfitted this cabin. A tiny kitchen has everything you would need to make a quick cup of coffee or an ambitious meal. A nice deck surrounding the cottage offers great views of the harbor – perfect for watching the boating life or just enjoying a good book. This private cottage offered a nice respite for the hustle and bustle of everyday life. And it was great fun to talk to Sharon and Dick about world travels while we vacationed in this little corner of Maine. Sharon and Dick were great hosts in every way. We hope to vacation with then again. Wonderful hosts, wonderful vacation, wonderful property.

Sharon and Dick were there to greet us and show us our rental. It was quiet, clean,comfortable and a beautiful setting. We were left to our own devices, which we appreciated. thanks for the pleasant stay!

We loved staying at Sharon and Dick's place. The location can't be beat - waking up to the water. They were friendly, gracious hosts. The space had everything we needed. It would be small if you weren't traveling with someone you are very comfortable with. We loved grilling on the deck in the evening and using the dock to jump into the water.

I had a delightful stay at this small and bright cottage. It was isolated and extremely quiet yet within reasonable driving distance to interesting places, restaurants, and shopping spots thus I was able to write and read when I wasn't a tourist. The water in the cove came right up to the deck at high tide (the photo on airbnb was taken at low tide). The lobster boats in the cove added to the lovely scenery that included wonderful sunsets. The bed was very comfortable and the Internet connection worked fine. The kitchenette was just that; microwave, electric skillet, toaster, and coffee pot (a grill was available on the deck) with little counter space so it provided some limitations for cooking meals. Sharon and Dick were close by in case they were needed. All in all it was a very positive experience.

Very quiet and peaceful as advertised. The hosts were gracious, friendly and helpful while allowing me to enjoy my privacy.

We could not have been more enchanted with our experience at Sharon and Dick's charming boat house! It was exactly as pictured: quaint, clean and secluded, with a lovely view and total peace and quiet. For a first trip to Maine, we felt like we hit the jackpot starting out in Bremen. The nearby towns were postcard-perfect (make sure to sign up for the Cabbage Island Lobster/Clam Bake out of Boothbay Harbor!) and the Audubon Park just down the road from the cabin had a wonderful wooded trail with secluded cove views. Sharon was extremely responsive and thorough and we were sad to not get to meet her, though her daughter Kendra made sure we had everything we needed. We're already missing it and would recommend this location to anyone looking to explore the area!

Lovely cottage. Kind hosts. Beautiful setting.

Hello Matthew, we spent a wonderful week. It was beautiful, quiet and fun. We loved going pic-nic on the island, kayak and boat and watch at the hummingbirds. Special thanks to Bonnie for her help and kindness. Mind the frog hidden in the red kayak;-) Clémentine, Lionel, Adèle and Jacques.

We much enjoyed our stay at the house of Ray and Lois. The house is located beautifully, and you can drink your morning coffee while looking at the water and forest. I much recommend this house!

Ray and Lois are so kind. When we arrived at the home there were some snacks in the fridge including local drinks. Very easy to find from their directions and Ray met us personally at the home to go over everything. Fully stocked kitchen for cooking, quiet, and amazing views especially around sunset and sunrise. Ray allowed us to use their kayaks and we enjoyed exploring the area. Great place to stay!

Such a cozy house with beautiful scenery! We had such a great stay. Will definitely be back to check it out this summer!

Ray & Lois were wonderful hosts . From the day we arrived they made us and our dog Molly feel so welcome . The house was comfortable and stocked with everything we needed for the week. We enjoyed the back deck for lovely sunrises and sunsets. Location was great ,centrally located between Camden and Boothbay Harbor and a nice quiet retreat to return to after a day of exploring the area. A trip to Monhegan Island and Reid State park are well worth the visit. we would certainly stay here again when we are in the area! Also only minutes from the house is the Olson House made famous by Andrew Wyeth's painting. Very interesting stop.

Lovely space to get away from it all. It's a great spot to really explore the area. Coffee on the deck, with this view makes all your troubles melt away.

Great location. Beautiful spot by the water. Ray and Lois were extremely accommodating. Would definitely stay up there again!

We have a lovely stay in Friendship. Ray and Lois were very helpful, and the views from the house were beautiful!

Lois and Ray were very welcoming and provided provisions for when we arrived. I can't recommend their hospitality high enough. We came for two days but wished we could have stayed for a week.

Annette made us feel very welcome: she had a lot of useful tips and tricks for us and on top of that, we've learned a lot more about Maine and the United States. The best airbnb host we've had, in a very homely and quiet setting. We loved it!

Rental is as described. Private location, yet central to Boothbay and surrounding areas. Check-in was quick and easy. Apartment was clean, tidy, and comfortable. Generally happy with our stay here.

A+++ We had the best time at Annette's! This apartment is inside Annette's personal home, so you get personal attention right from your host. Ask her anything, where to go, what to do, what not to do. She is a worldwide traveler, so has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. You even get one side of her garage, with opener. The night we got there she had dessert for us, thanks Annette!! I forgot to tell you how great it was with our coffee the next morning :) We spent our days exploring the coast. This is 10 miles off the beaten path, so expect to drive some back roads. We drove 30 min south to Pemaquid Point, and another 30 miles north to Camden. Plenty of sites to see along the coastal roads and LOTS of great food. One highlight was the Split Rock Distillery outside of Damariscotta. Quaint towns and plenty of friendly "Mainiacs" to be found! Our favorite night, was walking the path behind Annette's home to the local marina, Broad Cove Marine. You can walk about 3 city blocks to great, very simple, local, lobstah, clams, scallops. 1 lb lobster dinner for 2 was $24. It's BYOB and we took our own wine. Met fabulous locals who showed us how to clean and eat lobster and clams. Sit out on the deck overlooking the bay. Just make sure to walk back before it gets dark! Fabulous experience!

Annette's home was the perfect place for our brief stay in Midcoast Maine. The apartment is immaculate and pristine. The bathroom was like a spa with deep tub, large separate shower, beautiful towels; the kitchen is well stocked; the bedrooms are peaceful with nice linens and large closets. Todd Wildlife Sanctuary with beautiful walking trails around Hockamock Point is less than a mile from the house, and the town of Damariscotta with lots of restaurants and services is an easy 10 minute drive. Annette was helpful in sharing thoughts about best places to swim and eat. We highly recommend Annette's place!

Annette made us feel at home and was always available. She had a good sense of the level of interaction we desired and respected our privacy. We would have liked a microwave, but otherwise the kitchen was nicely equipped. The bath has a cool walk in shower as well as an extra deep tub for soaking. The bedroom is good sized, though we thought the mattress was a bit hard for our taste. There is a computer and printer for guest use. The den/second bedroom has a small television and futon. The house is isolated and very quiet. The view from the deck is lovely, overlooking a field of wildflowers and grasses sloping gently to the sea. It's about a 25 minute drive to Damariscotta where there are several good restaurants and shopping. Pemaquid, about a half hour drive away, offers a sand beach as well as a picturesque lighthouse. We would definitely go back and would recommend Annette's home to anyone looking for a tranquil and restful locale in coastal Maine.

Annette is a sheer treasure! We arrived late because we didn't follow the detailed directions she gave u,s and she welcomed us with warmth and enthusiasm. She welcomed us into a well stocked immaculate lovely home for our 2 nights stay and provided everything we needed including maps to help us get around. After arriving, I wished we had planned more time in her home. I woke up the next morning to a lovely view of the ocean cove. I give Annette and her Midcoast Maine Apartment 5+ Stars!

Annette made us feel very welcome. This was one of our favorite places we stayed while we were in Maine. After staying right in the center of Boothbay we were very excited to be out in the wood, a bit farther away from the crowds of people. Our favorite part was hiking from Annette's back yard to the Broad Cove Marina (5-10 min hike) where we took our own beer and salad and ordered a large lobster and a lb of steamers for less than $20! We were able to have dinner right on the water, it was awesome. Annette also offered for us to use her grill so we went grocery shopping and ate most of our meals right there at the apartment. The apartment is PRISTINE. Very very clean and tidy. She was so nice to offer us various supplies from bug spray to maps to kayaking shoes. We parked our car in the garage and it really felt like home, we would just move in if we could =) Thank you so much Annette for an amazing visit. We will definitely be back!

This apartment was all that we hoped it would be. It is situated on the water in a quiet area in mid-coast Maine. It is fully equipped for a great vacation. Annette is very friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure meeting her and we hope to come back again very soon.

Such an amazing house right near the water and away from the hustle of the city. We really enjoyed our time in the house. There's a great porch for meals and grill to bbq. Lots of fish stores in the area and the kitchen is fully equipped. Couldn't have asked for me! Thanks for sharing your house with us!

We loved our stay at Jessica's house in Friendship. It was a perfect house to get away for the weekend and relax. The house was confortable, the scenery was beautiful, and we left feeling refreshed and recharged. We would definitely return.

We had a wonderful couples' weekend at Jessica's place. It was perfect for a relaxing getaway. Beautiful cozy house, great deck, very nice yard, close to the sea and walking distance to a great little grocery/general store. Would definitely stay again!

wonderful spot on the Maine coast....front room has so many windows it is like being outside! Lots of space and privacy for each guests with the separate bedrooms. The kitchen had everything one could need. Interesting short walk down to the wharf and lobster boats. Would be perfect during the summer....if the weather is chilly (like in October) take note of the fact that there is no central heat, only 2 space heaters, which worked well for the front rooms. Would recommend this bit of paradise to everyone.

We loved staying in this house. For the 4 of us it was plenty of space, well-equipped, and very clean. Proximity to nearby bays and hiking destinations was great. It was a bit more rustic than we expected, but still very nice. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again sometime.

My family had a great time here. The house and yard is very quiet and welcoming. It is central in that is close to restaurants and shopping areas but still quiet. I would definitely come back!

Great place to relax, comfortable for my family of four. Lovely area to walk around and plenty of space both outside and in. Recommended for a longer stay as we unfortunately only had two days.

Easy to find. Great communications with the host. Location is great for day trips, even as far as Acadia. Bed was warm and comfortable. Lots of windows brought in cool air. Excellent spot! Coming again!

J is a wonderful host and the house is gorgeous but comfortable. The house sits in such a quiet spot in the woods you don't realize there are restaurants, gas stations, a supermarket and other shops within a mile or two. The house has all the amenities and we look forward to another stay in the future.

The lot number is on both sides of the street and then it is a quick right up a slight hill, be careful if you have a low riding car. The house is clean, neat and welcoming and has everything you would need. If you bring a dog who will bolt out a door you may want to consider a small safety gate for the entry way since the side door does not have a screen door. Nice back deck but not enclosed so again with pets you may need a long leash. Location is very convenient for the area. Close to supermarket and downtown as well as scenic recreation areas. Very quiet. Backyard is buggy at night. We hope to return.

This is a truly u ique spot and experience. Wonderful reconstructed barn, charming and fascinating furnishings. Penny Johnston is a terrific hostess -interesting/interested - though clearly prepared to completely respect guests' sensibilities for separateness, privacy. This is living space shared with her, but felt, for my wife, myself and our little dog very "well-balanced." The larger setting is Maine-bucolic-wooded, and Waldoboro is both out of the way, and well situated between Rockland and Damariscotta - both areas of particular interest. Highly recommended. And her dog Mac is a big gentle sweetheart !

This was a very unique stay for sure! Penny was a wonderful host and her place was fantastic. May not be for everyone as it is very rustic, remote, and the host stays in the house with you (in a downstairs bedroom)....but I will DEFINITELY return next time I am in midcoast Maine! Thanks Penny.

Penny and Mack were warm and welcoming hosts. Penny was generous with her time, giving us numerous recommendations to places we had never been in the area. Mack (a lab mix) was friendly, laid back, and appreciative of belly rubs. Despite only being in Maine for a long weekend, we visited antique shops, wooded paths, breakwaters, and enjoyed several great meals at area restaurants -- all at the advice of Penny. She also shared the history of her incredible home. The beds were very comfortable, and the house and surrounding land beautiful. We brought two pug mix dogs with us and Mack got along with them splendidly (even when they stole his treat!).

Penny was the most lovely, down to earth person we have ever come across during our travels. Her welcoming smile, her personality, her hard work to make you feel at home was refreshing & just down right amazing. To the wonderful bear/dog that greeted us at the door, to the charming barn house that made you cuttle up in a blanket & drink hot chocolate. You must definitely go & meet the one & only Penny whose story, home, & of course dog will put a smile on your face.

Penny is a wonderful host. We enjoyed staying at her unique home, hearing about her very cool business (Maine Float Rope Co.) and getting to know her and her very friendly dog Mack. This is one of the most interesting Airbnb's we've stayed in, and Penny is one of the best hosts we've met. Do yourself a favor and take the opportunity to meet Penny and Mack if you happen to be in the area!

It is exactly as described. Penny is a friendly and wonderful host. She went the extra mile to make our trip better by giving us fun local places to see that we never would have found on our own. She also provided things at the house for us to do like: a place to have a campfire and an outdoor space to eat. The house is absolutely beautiful and her dog is adorable. A must do.

We had a fantastic mini-vacation at Penny’s country home. She is a gracious and accommodating hostess, and we really enjoyed staying with her. She went out of her way to make us comfortable, going so far as to make daily itineraries for us each day as explored mid-coast Maine. Regarding the house: the pictures on AirBNB do not do the house justice. In a word, the house is phenomenal. It is far grander and more interesting in person than it appears in online pictures. Perhaps it is a limitation of photography, but the spaciousness and detail work that Penny has designed is much more than we were expecting. I was expecting “interesting”, instead what we got was interesting, beautiful, comforting, and fun. Penny designed and built this house using parts of a previously constructed barn. So -- while the walls are rough hewn wood and the accommodations rustic -- that is where the similarities end. She has put a tremendous amount of thought into the details; everything from the knick-knacks to the sight-lines has been consciously placed. We enjoyed the whimsy of the decorations (why, yes, there is a small alligator in the tub!) as well as the layout of the house. The windows are huge, yet the house still has a bit of a cozy feeling. The central fireplace was a great place to read in front of, and the third floor treehouse-loft was great for our 13-year old daughter. She enjoyed having her own space that was (for the most part) out of reach of her parents. I climbed up once, but I am far too lazy and out of shape to climb up and down repeatedly. I would say that space is perfect for kids and teenagers. We really enjoyed our time at Penny’s and we will probably make it an annual tradition.

We've had such a wonderful stay at Penny's house! It is a so special house. So originally designed! Houses like this you can find only in a journal - or - at Penny's!... Great experience. One, we'll never forget! The house is very comfortable, well-equipped and with lot of surprises! In addiion, we had such a pleasant evening with Penny. She is so warm and charming, original and funny. Dear Penny, hoping to be your guests again, next time we arrive to Maine!

Dani was available throughout our stay and offered assistance. She is very friendly and wants her guests to enjoy their visit.

The place is RIGHT on the water. The porch and rest of the house was beautiful. Just perfect. Loved taking the canoe for a moonlit paddle on the lake. Just magical. This is my first experience with AirBnb. Will do it again.

3 friends and I stayed at this sweet cottage for a wedding in Walpole, ME. Lorrie was very communicative in email, and we had no problem finding the place or getting settled. The lake is beautiful, stargazing was amazing, and the location was convenient to all the nearby towns where we had wedding plans. Lorrie left great instructions and recommendations, plus a cute history of their lovely property. The cottage was clean and cozy. We loved the vintage electric stove! You have to BYO towels and sheets, so if you left these at home, you'll have to find a Reny's in town. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would love to stay again or recommend to a friend. Thanks Lorrie!

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Delightful cottage in a terrific location. Clean, comfortable, great view from the screen porch. Very helpful and welcoming host. I highly recommend this wonderful getaway.

Clicket was very responsive and was there to answer any questions and make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Her house was also amazing! It was very clean, inviting and cozy. It was equipped with everything and more you could need.The house actually was better than the pictures depicted. It had an amazing screen porch overlooking the water and nothing could be better than walking out the back door to swim and watch bald eagles! We had a 1 years old with us too and it was perfect for her. I would recommend this place to anybody! Truly a wonderful weekend. Our host was great, the house was perfect, and what a location!

This truly is a home away from home. Modern newer quality-built home disguised as a cottage. Comfortable living with everything included. Quiet, secluded, romantic setting with ever changing water views. Close to the coastal towns and ocean. Close to shopping (Rockland) and services.

Our family of four had wonderful stay. We enjoyed the peaceful views. The owner's communication was excellent regarding directions, check-in and check-out instructions.

Charming cottage, lovely setting, quiet and private, in a great part of the Maine coast. Clicket called to check in the day before our departure, and we had everything we needed!

We had a fabulous stay in Friendship! The pictures hardly do the place justice—the house is lovely, the tidal Back River gorgeous, and the townsfolk delightful. We look forward to staying again next year! Thank you, Clicket!

We had a wonderful stay. Clicket was a very responsive and friendly host. The home was just as described and very cozy and clean. We loved observing the river at low tide and high tide, it seemed like a natural phenomenon was happening before our eyes. :) The location was relatively secluded and very quiet - a perfect retreat!

Check in was easy and the home was far greater then our expectations. We felt like we had arrived for a long weekend at our own Cabin. The house is set within the woods right on the edge of the Back River, which is an inlet from the nearby Friendship harbor. Watching the tide go in and out provided for a greater connection to the uniquely Maine environment. Coming from Arizona I was pleased to find that there were fireflies at dusk. Both of my girls had never seen them and were equally amazed. The kitchen is super well equipped. A large lobster pot made cooking our fresh lobsters we bought right off the Friendship docks for $5 per/lbs, a breeze. Three nights was not enough for us. Highly Recommended!

We loved the little cottage by the lake. Imagine a cottage with every amenity you could ever want, 20 feet from a pristine lake, and this is what you will find. I enjoyed the very comfortable chair by the gas stove (like a wood stove), on the evening it rained. The beds were very comfortable and the entire cottage was immaculate. Thank you for the extra special touches. The fresh flowers and breakfast goodies were a really nice treat and made us feel very welcomed and special. This cottage is very peaceful and quiet and has a great selection of DVDs and books. We spent several hours on the screened in porch reading and enjoying French pressed coffee, waiting for the rain to stop. We saw a couple loons and enjoyed paddling our canoes to the little islands in the lake. I would HIGHLY recommend this cottage to anyone who is looking for a quiet place to unwind and be inspired by both nature and the lovely interior and amenities of this cottage. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks again Blair.

This was our first airbnb experience and we have no hesitation recommending this property or these hosts. The property is a small house (it isn't fair to call it a cabin) on a good sized lake. The house is well shown in the images, consisting of a kitchen and living room, a bathroom, and two bedrooms. The bedrooms are small-ish - one with a twin sized bed in the front of the house, and the other with a full sized bed on the back of the house with a big sliding door/window overlooking the lake. I think it is appropriate that they have listed this as one bedroom meant for two people - the other room is small and wouldn't work for a couple - but would for one child. The house was clean. Truly immaculately clean. I can't over stress how nice the space was. The kitchen had everything we could want (plates, paper towels, salt and pepper), but wasn't stocked with "personal" stuff either. Honestly, it reminded us of how Disney stocks their rental condos - it was well thought out in every regard. (Truly, the only thing we could think of that they missed was a brush to clean the gas grill when we were done - but the grill looked brand new so I don't think anyone had run into that yet!) The bathroom was clean with a nice shower stall with a sliding door - an upgrade from what you might expect from a "cabin". Everything seemed to have a fresh coat of paint. The lake was quiet - we only saw kayaks over in the distance. We didn't see or hear any power boats or other noise makers. The dock looks brand new and they provided a canoe - we didn't use it, but it was nice that they left it for us! we brought our own camp chairs to sit out on the end of the dock and chill. This was complimented by the screened in porch that opens with double glass doors into the living room. There is another smaller sitting space outside the bedroom, but we didn't use it as it isn't screened. It was nice that we could park right in front of the kitchen door and unload without a fuss. There was great communication with our host, the house is easy to find - they left a key for us - we never met them in person which was fine. They certainly respected our privacy! We recommend these hosts and this property without hesitation!

Blair communicated all pertinent information about the accomodations, directions, etc. in a clear and timely manner. He was to the point but friendly, which we appreciated.

This is it! The quiet, restful place you have been seeking with the restorative gifts of ocean water, air and nature's bounty. It is exactly as you see it in this posting. Charming, simple, "shabby chic" and clean cottage make you never want to leave. The Cozy Cove Side Cottage IS your vacation! For those needing more action, there is plenty to visit and explore too. Fantastic hosts make you feel welcome and point you in the right direction based on your interests among the abundance of local offerings. If you fall in love with Maine (which you will) and want to settle more permanently, Carole can help you as well! A few tips for future guests: 1.Come prepared with a detailed map of the area (eg: (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) zoom printout): GPS is unreliable in some parts; 2.Expect to conserve water (short showers, selective flushing): the cottage is sourced by a well; 3.Bring layers: weather is unpredictable and shifts quickly; 4.We also suggest bringing your own bottled water: see #2.

My husband and I spent a wonderful week in Carole's cottage. The location is simply amazing and the living space is welcoming and has everything you need. Thank you Carole!

The owner and the house are FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!! Not enough exclamation marks to put in here:) The cottage and the surroundings have everything that you need to get away from busy city life! Cottage is well equipped and perfectly designed. Pet friendly. Thank you very much!

My partner Jim and i had a wonderful vacation at Carole's cozy cottage. The cottage was exactly as described and depicted. It was immaculately clean and thoughtfully furnished. Beds were comfortable and there were and The location was an A+++ for piece ,tranquility and beauty. Water views from almost all windows. Carole and Mark were excellent hosts. They were available but in no way intrusive. Carole was concerned that all our needs were being met ...and they were. We thank you and hope to return!

My partner and I can't say enough positive things about Carole and her cottage. We spent a week there and were missing it even before we left. It's quiet, peaceful and almost all windows look out onto the water. The surrounding area is scenic and there are a lot of possibilities around the area. We took day trips to Portland and Acadia, for instance, and if you're able, I recommend checking out Mohegan and Vinalhaven islands. As for Carole, she's a wonderful human being and truly went well above and far beyond in helping us out. Although I don't want any competition in renting Carole's place in the future, it's a must stay.

This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay. One couldn't ask for a lovelier Maine setting right on the coast. The home was cozy and a wonderful mixture of Maine and artistic decor. We so enjoyed our conversations with Carole and Mark.

Carole was warm and welcoming every step of the way. She met us on arrival to show us around the cottage, answer questions and help us get oriented to the property, neighborhood and local area. The cottage is exactly as pictured and then some. It is lovely, homey and in a spectacular location. We enjoyed every minute of our vacation and loved living in this cottage for two or rather three, we had our dog Gia with us. The cottage has other houses near by but feels absolutely private. It was sparkling clean, well equipped with all you'd need to just settle in and relax. Carole lives near and is available if needed. Jim and I highly recommend Carole and her cottage for a wonderful Airbnb experience.

Even though we were late arriving to the cottage, Carole had the place unlocked and all warmed up for us! She even stopped in to make sure there wasn't anything else that we needed. The cottage, itself, was very clean and ever so cozy, and was located in a very peaceful and beautiful part of Maine.

My wife, 2 year old daughter, and our dog stayed at Evan's place for a week. Evan was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay. The house has some great old quirky character and was comfortable for the three of us. The location is private with space between you and one other house nearby and the view is excellent. A nice mowed path leads you to the water. We did not spend much time swimming there since the access was a little tricky for a two year old but good for a quick dip at high tide. There is a nice little public access sand beach on a lake on nearby Biscay Rd that was great for kids. The hikes at Camden State Park were fairly easy if you're a hiker but nice views of the ocean. There are other short trail options nearby on Dutchneck Rd and others. Highly recommend the Muscongus Bay Lobster Co in Round Pond. They have all sorts of delicious seafood, it's BYOB, and the atmosphere is casual and fun. Looked like other people brought their own salads and appetizers which seemed like a good idea. Ice cream right down the road at Granite Hall Store. Damariscotta is a cute little town. We were pleased with the Riverside Butcher and the seafood store right next door for meals made at the house. Overall a great place to unwind.

This house is a romantic artist' retreat; situated in the middle of a field of wildflowers next to the sea... it's like stepping into an Andrew Wyeth Painting! Evan left personalized notes that made us feel like we were staying at a friends house. He has a really cool record collection that we enjoyed listening to throughout our stay, and great cookbooks to refer to in the kitchen. Another wonderful feature was the beautiful vegetable and herb garden adjacent to the house, overflowing in the early-fall... it was so lovely that we didn't want to pick from it! This was such a perfect place to stay to have an authentic Maine vacation. We hope to return again soon.

Evan was a very good host. The place is easy-going and picturesque. A lovely spot. Very cute little place.

Just lovely! One of a kind. The setting was gorgeous. Easy communication before arrival, close to many great places( hog island Audubon, Hardy's puffin tour, Rockland art galleries and Cafe Miranda, Pemaquid Beach) Hope to return!

First of all, the location - just a few yards away from a misty shore, surrounded by fields of wildflowers - is breathtaking. Second, the house itself is beautiful, like an old ramshackle farmhouse from an Edward Hopper painting. If you like sterile, perfect, corporate - this ain't for you. But if you want an artist's cottage with wood beams and old hardwood floors, a bathtub with feet, great views and all the creaks and character of a place with history - it's great. Evan is a lovely host - having the fridge stocked with staples and a great selection of cookbooks, and checking in without ever being obtrusive. The house belonged to his late father, a painter, and Evan has decorated it with affection. Great LP collection, too. The house can get hot in the summer, and in Maine in the summer, there are bugs. But if you want a place with character and quiet - yet within 30-40 minutes of Rockland and Camden - this is one of a kind. Not unlike a Northern California artist retreat.

Evan's place is beautiful. Situated on Broad Cove and very close to some of the best lobster and beaches in Maine. We loved eating straight from Evan's garden and listening to the fantastic records in his house. We loved the antique feel and the great views from the windows. We could not get enough of the lobster and Broad Cove Marine Services just down the road and the hiking at the Audubon Institute. Evan was so kind and generous--he shared his fantastic tea collection as well as his food. Cannot wait to come back, and hopefully be able to eat more round top ice cream and check out the farmer's market. Thank you Evan for a fantastic time!

Evan's home was beautiful. It was located in a picturesque and serene location away from the hustle and bustle of the normal, nine to five city life my boyfriend and I escaped from. The old time feel of the cottage with its pot belly stove and record player made it a pleasant step back to the past.The garden was in bloom and we were able to utilize it for our morning meals, the coast was an easy walk from the cottage and the idealistic town of Damariscotta, Muscongus Bay and many others, were only a short distance away.

Cottage is beautiful with an amazing view. We loved relaxing in the living room in the evening. Location was perfect for exploring Midcoast Maine including taking the Monhegan ferry from New Harbor. Highly recommend.
