Booked last minute, it was super cozy. Absolutely loved waking up to see the water. We enjoyed the quiet and it was such a peaceful time, highly recommend!
It was a great end to our Maine adventure and with the fogginess up in Acadia NP, we got to experience the blissfulness of nature we sought! Wonderful for a couple who enjoys nature, fishing and being on the water!

Beautiful location and property. Grateful the owners share this gem.
What a sweet cottage! Cozy had everything that we needed to enjoy our stay in Maine including the beautiful sunrise from the front porch. The cottage was well equipped - we didn't need anything during our stay. We saw and heard lots of wildlife including the bullfrogs that greeted me every morning for my run. It's close to several hiking trails, Orr's & Bailey's Island as well as Brunswick for essentials like groceries, etc. We also took advantage of the kayaks that you can use right off the dock. The hosts were wonderful. Thank you. We will definitely be back.
Mike end Connie, our wonderful hosts that couldn’t have more accurately described their super clean & cozy cabin by the water! Their cabin is very comfortable and well appointed for my wife and I with our small dog. We wanted for nothing and contacted them two book another stay sometime!
Quaint little cottage on the lake. We only stayed one night but it was very peaceful, quiet, and the sunrise was spectacular. Definitely would return if we’re in the area.
Clean tiny cabin overlooking the water. Easy access to the dock with kayaks. Great fire pit, overlooking the water. Perfect us and our two dogs.
A quick message letting us know the key would be in the door would have been helpful. But we managed to figure that out once we got to the door. We also read previous review which was helpful.
Connie’s place is winner! We’ll be back.
This property was just as shown. Very well appointed, we wanted for nothing! Great recommendations for eating out, too. Plus, our dog could travel with us. Thank you Mike and Connie!
Enjoyed our overnight, especially the morning sunrise. Had a great early kayak seeing bald eagles, a seal, fish jumping, boats going by the dock. Pretty area. Great little cottage.
Somewhat close to stores for necessities yet feels rural. Quite cozy with a wonderful view. Host is responsive if you need them. WE found the Harpswell area in general to be a good location for our needs on this trip. Good chance we would stay again if in the area.
Cottage as advertised. Amazing sunrise over the water! Convenient and relaxing location. Not a lot of stores, souvenir shops and honky tonk, but wonderful hidden gems for breakfasts and lunches, located near or on the water.
Cottage is clean and comfortable. Easy communication with owner.
I really loved our stay there. Furniture was comfy. Check in was quick. Clean. And they did a great job on stocking the place. My only pitfall was that there was no a/c. At night it was a bit sticky and even though the fan was on the ceiling it really needed another in the window in bedroom. Loved watching the sailboats and boats. Very quiet. Just what the doctor ordered. Close to everything. Thank you for making this trip exactly what we needed. Peace and quiet.
COZY was exactly what it's name implies. We loved our cottage in the water. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Fishing and kayaking in the early morning was fantastic as well as quiet afternoons and evenings watching the boats . We also took many side trips to see the sights and enjoy the local seafood restaurants.
Hope to get back there next year.
My first time, so I messaged to ask for check in details but that message wasn't answered. On arrival I assumed I needed to see owners so walked up the hill but knocked and no answer. Texted for instructions and got a code but it turned out the property was open and ready with key inside.
Connie and Mike’s cottage is neat as a pin and the location can’t be beat. Sit on the dock and look south toward Pole Island, the view is incredible and you are truly in Maine. Our trip was far too short and we scarcely scratched the surface of all there was to do. We did get a chance to swim and the genius ladder made water access very easy. We’ll be back!
We stayed here overnight while we were traveling and I was so sad that we only got to stay here one night. The location is stunning. It was so quiet and beautiful, but also you can easily drive to anything you need. We went down to dinner at Cook's Lobster and Ale House and it was so good. The cabin was clean and well stocked. I definitely hope to return for a longer stay at some point.
Waterfront cottage, perfect for two. Has everything you need. Off the beaten path. Great place to rejuvenate your soul!
