Cozy Cabin

This is a quiet and peaceful place to look out on the cove, read on the porch, and enjoy the beauty of coastal Maine. We stayed here and I ran the Lobster Festival 10K in Rockland with my son. Excellent spot and will definitely return here.

Wonderful

I've never used a vrbo-type service before, but Sarah was a wonderful host. She offered helpful suggestions of activities in the area and made us feel at ease. The cabin itself was quiet and cozy and perfect for taking time to relax. It was nice to see the changing tides outside and it was only a short drive to visit nearby sites while still getting to retreat back to peace at the end of the day. I hope to visit again, perhaps during the warmer season, but fall was lovely as well.

Amazing

The property was great, couldn’t ask for a better view. Sarah the owner was attentive to our needs and contacted us a couple of times during our stay to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. If I am ever in Maine again I will definitely stay here. The cabin is centrally located and it’s easy to drive to other parts of Maine and Canada.

Charming cottage by the sea

We enjoyed our stay in Sarah’s charming cottage. The cabin itself is spotless, with charming decor, and everything supplied for our two day stay. The bed was comfortable with plenty of extra linens and pillows. We enjoyed the fire pit and reading in the cozy sofa area. A bottle of wine and treats in the fridge were so appreciated! Ease of communication with Sarah also a bonus. This cottage is in the perfect location for exploring Acadia, Bar Harbor, Belfast and many other small towns of the midcoast. Eat at Delvinos in Belfast!

Little cabin in the woods--kind of.

The cabin was as described and very sweet, clean and comfortable. We used the cabin as a home base to explore parts of the coast and it served us well. Sarah was very communicative and even offered us to stay on since the weather was bad the day of our departure. There are neighbors nearby but it was quiet and no one bothered us. I would recommend if you're exploring the area.

Perfect peaceful getaway

The cottage and property were exactly as described, tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood. It was clean and decorated nicely. Sarah was great at communicating and had treats and other items stocked for us. Some of the more popular attractions in the area (Acadia, Bar Harbor, Camden) were a bit of a drive, but we were fine with that given the peaceful setting we had. We would definitely return to stay here and would recommend the cottage to friends!

Great retreat for a trip to Maine!

The cabin was BEAUTIFUL! My husband and I spent 3 days enjoying the coast of Maine from the cabin. It is close to SO many great sights and towns. The cabin was well stocked, and Sarah went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Her thoughtful and great communication was amazing. I was slightly worried about the train tracks prior to booking, but it was NOT an issue. We never hear a train in the time we were there. The peaceful setting was great to enjoy coffee on the porch, and the loft was cozy for napping and sleeping! HIGHLY recommend this property for a getaway!

Stay in Stockton Springs

This lovely cabin, at the end of a quiet road, combines privacy and coziness with plenty of light and air. We spent time on the large porch overlooking the water. The sleeping loft was comfortable and the spiral stairs were a charming touch. The sitting area downstairs offered an excellent view of the water during wet weather. We stayed for ten days and found plenty to do in the surrounding towns when we weren't hanging out in the cabin. There are plenty of hiking trails nearby. Don't miss visiting nearby Fort Knox and the observation tower on top of the Penobscot Narrows Bridge. Our host was very welcoming.

Paradise

We spent two weeks in Sarah’s little corner of paradise and it was ideal for relaxation and repose. It was also perfectly situated for going on adventure. Sarah was attentive and helpful, welcoming and friendly. Her home was creative and comfortable. The view was the best therapy after a crazy year. The personal touches were a thoughtful delight. We could not recommend her wee cottage by the sea enough to any who seek a true vacation. Thank you Sarah for a wonderful and memorable escape to the beautiful state of Maine!

70 somethings and a spiral staircase

The obstacle between bed and bathroom is a beautiful spiral staircase. At 70 we could not traverse the stairs twice a night and spent three nights on the pull out couch. Moved to a real bed for the final two nights of our vacation. Loved the view at high tide. Not so much at low tide. The train came by once and shook the place. Other than that, the cabin was clean, beautifully decorated and peaceful. Thank you Sarah for allowing us to stay.

Everything You Need

The owner, Sarah, does everything possible to make you feel like you're at a "home away from home" with food & beverages in the fridge, clean and neat cabin, with interesting decor...all with a great view of Stockton Harbor. It's a quiet town without the mobs and traffic you'll find elsewhere in Maine in August, yet you're only 10-15 mins from Belfast and maybe 20 to Ellsworth where there are some cool new food and beer places to enjoy. Cape Jellison (with Fort Point State Park) and Sandy Point Beach are very close and great for biking, paddling or swimming. We are told a dock will be in place at the property maybe next year.
