About this property

Come experience all the Mid-Coast of Maine has to offer in beautiful Friendship. Centrally located between Portland and Bar Harbor, Friendship is just minutes away from many of Maine's finest attractions. Our cottage is directly on the water with a private dock. The Cottage is nicely appointed with three bedrooms including a Master Bedroom with a Queen-sized bed and a sleeping loft with twin beds that your kids will just love! There is also a lower level bedroom with a full sized futon. The mattress is very high quality to assure your comfort. This bedroom also has its own full bathroom for amazing privacy in the lower level. With high ceilings and a large deck the cottage feels spacious and airy even when you have a full house! Spend your days at the cottage reading on the deck as you take in the breathtaking view while listening to the lobster boats as they haul in their catch. Take long walks or go explore surrounding islands in a kayak or take a nap while listening to the harbor seals call to one another. On a foggy day you may want to curl up in front of the fireplace with your dog sleeping by your side. Wood is provided! The more adventurous may want to spend days golfing, shopping, touring lighthouses or taking harbor cruises. The tourist towns of Rockland, Camden and Damariscotta are all just a 30-40 minute drive. Even Acadia National Park is only a two hour drive. After a long day of sightseeing, you can return to Friendship for peace and serenity.

Note, Friendship is a small town with one general store that was just voted the best deli in Maine! . There is one restaurant in town. But you can visit the harbor when the lobster boats are coming in and buy lobster as fresh as it gets! It is a perfect little Mid-Coast Maine Village that you will fall in love with.

Our second year in Friendship

This was our second year staying at Amy's cottage in Friendship, and our time here was again as wonderful and magical as the first. The cottage itself is very comfortable and clean, and Amy is a great host: communicative and clearly caring that her guests enjoy their time here. And enjoy we did: mornings on the deck, overlooking Muscongus Bay and its always entertaining theater; kayaking and visiting with the seals offshore; incredible sunsets over the water, not to be missed. The neighbors are welcoming and helpful. The midcoast location offers much to do, and nearby restaurants, like Jameson's, are great opportunities to enjoy fresh seafood in a casual atmosphere. We will be returning again and again.

Lovely cottage with amazing views

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was rustic but had everything we needed. The views were gorgeous and we loved just sitting on the deck relaxing. My husband and son only took the kayaks out once but they had fun. Amy was very responsive to any issues we had in a timely manner. We visited Damarascotta,Boothbay Harbor,Rockland and Camden. All within a half hour to 45 minute drive. Thanks for a great vacation,Amy!

Amazing Rustic Cabin In Friendship

Such a great property! Nice quiet property and neighbors. All the essentials available for a relaxing stay on the bay! Saw eagles, osprey, herons and harbor seals. Kayaking off the property is amazing and the view is spectacular! Enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning and plenty of kitchen basics and pantry items available. Great selection of books and games for rainy days and plenty of propane and firewood for the gas grill and wood fire pit. Queen size bedroom on first floor, queen futon in living room, full size futon in basement with separate bathroom and two twins in the loft gave us ample space to spread our abs relax. Communication with Amy was great, she is very responsive and accommodating! Loved that we could bring the pups, they enjoyed the vacation too! Highly recommended and would stay here again for another relaxing and amazing vacation, thanks for sharing your home with us!!

Location

Cabin location plus private dock with kayaks & a canoe provided was wonderful! Pet-friendly- even better! Our grand-teens loved kayaks. We watched seals, lobster boats plus touring mid-coast towns. Only issue- LOOK CLOSELY at listing Notes! Renter must bring towels & bed linens- we had to go buy sheets for 5 beds plus towels. Kitchen well-stocked. Deck with view was terrific. Wouldn’t say “unsanitary” since sinks. Showers seemed clean but cabin Could use a good cleaning - if you drop something under a chair or bed you see dust that’s been accumulating quite a while and spider webs in loft that we cleaned before sleeping. We'd still go back again for all the other features.

Cozy waterfront cottage

We had a wonderful stay. Amy was terrific- gave us all the info we needed and kept in touch the entire trip. The house was cute and cozy and well stocked not only with essentials but also extras like games and kayaks and wood for the fire pit. The property was well maintained and the view was amazing. We will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Cottage beautiful location!

Enjoyed staying at this wonderful cottage located right on the ocean’s edge. Cottage is fully equipped with all you need to enjoy your stay. Best of all is the wonderful deck with 2 Adirondack rocking chairs overlooking the beautiful ocean’s edge. Also enjoyed reading the book on the history of Friendship. Cottage is close to many wonderful hikes that we took our dog on. Perfect in my book! Friendship is a very special town. Hope to return soon!

Peaceful Vacation

The views from the deck were absolutely stunning. The sunsets were vibrant and amazing over the ocean. We saw eagles, seals playing, and lots of wildlife. House was very cozy, and relaxing. If your trying to find a super relaxing, peaceful, getaway look no further this is the place for you! Owner was incredibly nice, upfront, and helpful. I would definitely rent from her again. The house has tons of information on places to visit, and sites to see.

Lovely view but desperately needs work

The location, sitting on a shady ridge overlooking the bay is superb, picturesque. Peaceful and extremely relaxing. Neighbors very friendly. The house has a wonderful balcony where we spent hours enjoying the tranquil views and cooking on the nice grill. The house was very well-equipped with home supplies and kayaks, although the lack of washer and dryer is a considerable drawback for a family summer vacation. The space is small and feels a bit dank. Our joy was greatly impacted by the leaking septic system in the middle of the backyard emitting a foul odor - the kids had no yard to play in. The house had a number of issues that need attention: back sliding door does not lock, picnic table seat on balcony rotting & unstable, bathroom window frame moldy and water leaks through to basement, leaky pipe in basement, the mattress needs to be replaced, several light bulbs were out, whole house wiring needs an upgrade as there are very few accessible outlets, etc. The futon was covered in doghair. Sadly, when we mentioned these issues to the owner, they were rude and aggressive. A lovely area with great potential but we do not recommend the property.

Total relaxation

From the moment we arrived we were able to just relax, most of our time was spent sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the deck which has the most amazing view, we watched ,seals, bald eagles, lobster boats, we used the kayaks, sat on the dock deep into the night, saw many meteors, the night sky is so beautiful, thank you for allowing us this amazing rental. We are hopeful to come again. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, we were able to bring our dog which was a huge bonus to us.

We've found our perfect place in Maine

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.

Great Location

The view is fabulous, and we spent most of our time on the deck. House was as listed and comfortable and the dog loved it. Amy was very attentive to any questions and an issue that we had. Convenient for day trips to lighthouses, and restaurants in the area are great. Wallace's store has everything you need and sandwiches are so good. Looking forward to a return trip!

Beautiful setting, wonderful canoe/kayaking & sunsets!

We really enjoyed our time at this well-stocked house. Went out on the water as much as possible. Also took lovely drives to pretty coastal towns as well as a day trip to Acadia. At the house, loved the record player, selection of games/puzzles, pine construction, outdoor deck and firepit. The tide clock was neat too- and helpful! Very cozy cottage!

Beautiful, peaceful location on Muscongus Bay

Beautiful, peaceful location on Muscongus Bay. It was a great central location between Camden/Rockport/Rockland and Boothbay/Pemiquid. House is a log cabin and well equipped for all your needs including games and puzzles, except laundry. It was a hot day when we arrived and the house was stuffy so I was pleased to see there were a couple fans as I forgot to pack some. We took full advantage of the kayaks (3) and canoe (1), the bay is a great place with lots of sea birds and seals. Take care of the tides though as they are extreme on the bay and you could get stuck at low tide if you go to to the left of the dock around the point. The sunset is beautiful. Not the greatest place for swimming unless you do not care about seaweed as there is a lot growing around the dock, but a fun place to look for snails and crabs at low tide. The Jameson Point Lobster and Narrows Tavern are close by if you want to eat out.

Classic Maine

This is a very well-kept, old style properrty - and easy to love. The house is pine, and yes, the floors creak. It is well-equipped (love the quality knives), clean and has three levels of view! The deck with the grill, the fire pit with the adirondack chairs and the dock. the suset needs to be seen from all locations! And the kayaks are in great condition. The host was helpful, straighforward and charming. We truly enjoyed our week.

Spectacular Location

There is no way to even describe the loveliness of this location. It is quiet, and the view out the front is breath taking. There are loons and seals right off the house. The kayaks and canoe were a highlight of the trip. And the house, while seemingly basic, is perfectly outfitted (with the exception of no laundry.) I highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Waldron

I own this home with my sisters and have been vacationing in Friendship since I was a small child. I can't imagine anywhere else I would rather own a vacation home.

Why they chose this property

This is the property my family rented when I was young. Years later my Father decided he wanted to purchase the property when it became available for sale. He spent many lovely weeks here before passing away. I love this home with its perfect view of the Bay and its cozy cabin feel.
