We’ve been vacationing in Maine for many years now, and I don’t think there is any place that would surpass our time at Amy’s cottage in Friendship. The cottage itself is fantastic: spotlessly clean, spacious, very comfortable, the kind of wood-paneled accommodation that invokes coziness and warmth, a wide deck, and of course the fantastic views over Muscongus Bay. The sunsets are truly amazing: brilliant skies, sunlight reflecting on the water, clouds lit over the horizon. The mornings too have their own charm, with the hushed, stilled water, and the quiet soaring seabirds. We spent most of our time at the cottage, kayaking, reading, watching, with occasional trips to Jameson’s for dinner, Wallace’s for supplies, Delano’s for seafood, Schooner Landing in Damariscotta, the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland. Amy is wonderful at communicating; it is very clearly that she wants her guests to fully enjoy her cottage, and she does everything possible to make that happen. We’ve found our perfect place, and we will be back as often as we can.
