Great short stay for 2
Much as advertised, great basic lower priced place to base for intro to Islesboro. Stayed 3 nights. Only complaint were that the fancy stove top didn't work making preparing meals challenging between use of 'fryer', charcoal grill and our own camping

Beautiful Island Cabin
While me and husband tend to camp and have kayak camped on Warren Island, we wanted to kayak around Islesboro. We found this cabin to be very comfortable and it had everything we needed for our stay. Despite my worry that the bed would be too small, I found it to be quite comfortable. Great place to stay for a vacation.

Small camp by the ocean
We found the camp to be as advertised. The location is scenic and Islesboro is a nice community. It made for a quiet vacation. I might have missed it in the description, but there was no freezer in the small refrigerator.

Great Cabin
This small secluded cabin had everything we needed to cook, eat, relax and sleep comfortably, and it was bigger than I expected from the description. We didn't use the beach at the house, but we walked the short distance to see it. The cabin had a great view of the water, particularly nice in the moonlight. It was obvious that the host had thought of everything that would contribute to a enjoyable stay.

It was very peaceful and beautiful location. It would be nice to have a journal so that people could share tips and experiences. I was fortunate to have spoken to a sheriff who gave us tips on what to do that weren't publicized anywhere

Charming Cabin in the Woods
The cabin was well equipped and very clean and pretty. The family was very nice and the daughter was helpful. Since it is "pet friendly" I was able to bring my Boston Terrier with me. However, due to the foggy, rainy weather we were not able to enjoy it completely. Would be ideal for younger, hardier folks who like to hike, or a romantic getaway in the woods for a couple.

Quaint, romantic getaway cabin
This is our second stay at this cabin and won't be our last. The location is great, there's a beach just down the hill, there's a slight oceanview, bed is comfortable, fans are sufficient for warm days, there's a little heater for any damp nights, the cabin is clean. For the cost, it is as it should be. If someone is staying in the cottage below, the parking is a bit cramped and the situation is not as private as I prefer. To gain access to the path to the shore you have to walk onto the neighbor's porch which feels a little intrusive. Overall, it's a wonderful experience on an amazing island.

Idyllic spot
We had a fantastic time in this idyllic spot far from the hustle and bustle of our regular life. I think Juli is new to homeAway so I will leave a detailed review. The cabin is basic but is clean and has everything you need. There are comfortable chairs, a gorgeous sea view from inside, a little deck and a nice soft bed. The kitchen consists of an adequate but small fridge, 2 electric rings, an electric fry pan, a microwave, toaster and coffee pot. There is no oven, we made flatbread as "good" bread deliveries to the island are limited. Happy to share the recipe! There is a steep wooden stair down the cliff to a private beach. The fabulous thing about the beach is that there is NO mud at low tide, so swimming is great at any time (bring water shoes). This also means that it is pretty much bug free. And the water is clean and crisp, just delicious really. The island is a really special place. Folks are friendly and helpful. For example, when we were looking for boating options we got somebody's mother's phone number. We did find a kayak, but next time we will bring a boat of some kind, there are several public ramps. There is internet in the cabin, but if you need faster speeds the library has a good connection. If you want to watch movies (we did not) probably best to download before you arrive. All in all a fantastic spot for 2. Probably could have a non-mobile baby (wouldn't recommend the place for a toddler) or an 7+ year old. We hope to return.

Super location on Isleboro
Everything was just as described. Forgot how tight a double bed could be for 2 adults. For a few nights, it was doable. The access to the shore out front is quite a bonus for this price.

The cabin was very cute in the middle of the island. Like having a hotel room in the woods. Only thing I would change is the bed. It was small, a queen size would be better.

Cozy Cabin in the woods
The property worked out perfect for my wife and I. The shared parking was tight but made it work just fine. The cabin was just the right size for us and everything worked as needed. As others have said we did bring our own gas grill to cook on but the charcoal grill provided would have worked. Charcoal was left by previous tenants that we could have used. While no bed is perfect for everyone this one was soft which was fine for me but was too soft for my wife. We really enjoyed hanging out on the beach down the stairs . High tide was fine as we dipped our feet in as we sat on our beach chairs. I also dove in to cool off. Low tide we tended to walk further south on the beach and hung out down there. All in all we would gladly stay again. Thank you Juli Tim

Amazingly quaint cottage in excellent locale!
This property was above and beyond what was expected for the amount paid. Yes, it's rustic and yes it's dated but that is exactly what gives it it's charm. Everything was spotless, not a spec of dust! The bed was super comfortable. Juli was super responsive! The location is great, just a bit north of the middle of the island. Had an obstructed view of the water but this was necessary as there would have been very limited privacy between this cottage and the one in front if the trees hadn't been there. We will definitely bring bikes next time! We could've biked everywhere we wanted go. There's a steep decline to get to the private beach but the steps are sturdy so no worries. I would gladly pay three times the amount if the place was a bit more updated (not necessary, just pointing out that price reflects the accommodations appropriately) had a dock, some bikes/kayaks to use during the stay but these things will not deter me from visiting again as I've just booked it for next year!

Cabin in the Woods
First, the paperwork with vrbo should be shortened to a single printable page of information and omitting all the other unnecessary pages. Also, the info like wi-fi codes should be larger print. The cabin was pretty much what we expected in a convenient location. Our stay was pleasant. We were surprised the ladder system down to your cove was so death defying. Since your properties have been in the family for so many years; we would think a less dangerous access might be in order. Thank you. Leo & Penny

Juli was helpful and accommodating throughout. She was easy to work with, and the cabin is in an idyllic location. You can see the ocean from one side, and the other side sits in the trees. Juli was helpful and patient with my questions throughout the process. I want to go back!

This was our second time staying in this cabin and it was as great as the first. This is a good place to get away and relax. Two things we noticed is that the internet was improved since our stay last year and there is now a charcoal grill available. Both of these are improvements on an already great cabin! We had to leave a day early because of a family emergency but are already looking forwards to booking a trip for next year!

rustic cabin needs deep cleaning and a new mattress
the cabin is a perfect little cozy place, the location is ideal and the island is beautiful. We had a great time swimming and sunbathing and exploring the place. The cabin was only superficially cleaned. there was dust in the bathroom and the wooden floors, some of the dishes were not cleaned and the worse part was the bed. The mattress has zero support, your body sinked in. By the 2nd night I had to flip the mattress over-slept on the springs which provided a little more support. A good, deep cleaning and a new mattress will make this little cabin ideal. the location is fantastic.

Perfect spot for a Maine island vacation. Quaint cabin in the trees overlooking Penobscot bay and just a short walk to the water. Cabin has all that’s needed to enjoy a quiet and peaceful stay. Yes, WiFi is spotty, but who needs virtual experiences when you have the Maine coast just steps away.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in our family for generations and passed down. We have so many memories of exploring the woods and beaches, taking long walks, walking to Durkee's general store for a soda or ice cream bar, of sailing, and doing other water sports, including swimming (brrr!) It's a special place to build family time together away from all the distractions of daily life, enjoying the beauty and tranquility that is Maine coastal living.

What makes this property unique

Island living, especially being by the water, is very unique. By taking a ferry you're literally leaving behind the busy-ness of life. Things are slower on the island and you can't help but feel refreshed by the laid back quality of life here. Not having restaurants or other conveniences really gets people together during meal preparation and clean up. This is the time when we all have fun trying out recipes and enjoying the results! It's also wonderful not to be tied down to schedules for a short time. The other benefit of this area is that it's safe. You can explore many places all over the island without any worry.
