  • Bob White and Nancy White, Sept 29th--Oct 13th, 2007 Our two weeks in your special cottage by the sea gave us some history of your family, and your love of the area. I loved the sounds of the tides, the porch and its great vistas, and the wood stove! We had everything we needed while staying at your wonderful cottage and we hope to come back soon for other vacations. It is easy to fall in love with the Maine Coast while staying at the White's. Thank you for your hospitality! It was a great vacation. Sal from PA

  • The White's cottage at Hurricane Ridge is a great place to stay for R&R. We had a wonderful week in June...the place is beautifully situated on the water and comfortably furnished....quiet and picturesque.....we read books while looking at the beautiful views from the porches,walked along the beach,biked and grilled out....it's also a great place because it retains the charm of a time gone by.....Steve Fay,Lowell MA

  • Our short time at the cottage was the best vacation that we have ever had! The sounds of the waves was so peaceful and the views are breathtaking. We had days that were foggy but even the fog couldn't dampen our spirits, it was just an incredible place. We will cherish those memories forever and we hope to return there again in the future.

  • We spent a wonderful and peaceful week at the White cottage. The Dolphine Chowder House was a great place to eat and meet some of the local people. We did a lot of traveling up and down the southern coast taking in the breathtaking views of the ocean and poking around in many little shops along the way. We will be getting married in June of 2006 and plan on returning to this cozy little cottage to spend our honeymoon. What a way to begin a marriage!

  • My husband and I spent our summer vacation this year at Hurricane Ridge Cottage. What a beautiful spot. We love watching the lobster boats early in the morning and the charm and peacefulness of South Harpswell. It's a perfect place to spend a quiet and relaxing vacation. This is my first Maine summer vacation since moving from the state to New York state in 1980. Nothing beats the southern Maine coast, the sights, the smells and the wonderfulness of it all. To the Whites, thanks for opening your summer home to us.

  • Our weeklong stay at Hurricane Ridge was the highlight of our summer. On many vacations I've had "house envy", thinking that other houses on the street would be just a little bit better but not this time. The White's cottage is the best location on the best street on a terrific quiet neck in Maine. The beach (pebble-y) is right out the door and unlike many, this one is good swimming at low or high tide and perfectly suited for all ages. The neighbors are neighborly but not noisey. We walked, biked, and ran everyday with their being plenty of new places to explore. The nearest town for shopping is about 15 miles away but all the essentials are available within a 5-10 minute ride. If you are considering Hurricane Ridge Cottage be aware that it is old and that's part of its charm. If you like the antique look you will love living in this mini museum. The Whites have updated the kitchen appliances so the kitchen is fully functional. My only reservation would be for groups that include people who have limited mobility because the stairs to the top bedrooms are steep and narrow or with people who are large because the stall shower is quite modest in size. Lastly, the Whites are very helpful landlords and you will receive great tips on where to go and what to do from Bob.

  • 9/19/03 Week's end at Hurricane Ridge. Isabel's blowing winds and rain. Ok, great weather all week. Your home and the spectacular views are utter enchantment, a perfect refuge, an escape from the real world with all its noise and upheaval. Breakfasts on the sunporch, staring out at the sunglittered water. Candlelight dinners with favorite music (excellent cdplayer). Read books on the sundeck, but difficult to keep our eyes on the pages, easily distracted by nature's beauty or by that droopy feeling that overcomes a truly relaxed person. Bath, picturesque Boothbay Harbor, antiquing, lobster rolls-yum! Our daughter and friend from Baltimore joined us. She's an artist, awestruck and inspired by the scenes. His 1st trip to Maine, totally captivated! Kayaking. Gorgeous Popham Beach. Trekked thru Portland, shopped in Freeport. Beach glass, sunsets and stargazing. We did their birthdays at Çook's. "Home" for cake, icecrea

  • I had been 20 years since the last time I stayed at this cottage. Thankfully very little has changed. It was the same relaxing, enjoyable experience as before. I was able, this time, to share the experience with my 3 year old daughter. She loved it also. I couldn't keep her away from the beach and all it's adventures. I will difinately be coming back much sooner than another 20 years.

  • The Whites' cottage is situated so close to the water, that at high tide it feels akin to being on the bridge of a ship. It provides spectacular views of South Harpswell, Orrs, Bailey, Pinkham and Haskell islands, the famed Halfway Rock lighthouse and the shoreline leading to lovely Potts Point. The deck that lines the cottage is narrow, but a perfect perch for reading, sunning or just appreciating the view. Like all cottages in this part of Maine, it has rustic construction, but even though it is more than 100 years old, it is quite comfy and well-appointed with amenities that aren't always found in such rentals in this quiet area of coastal Maine. It also provides nice access to the "beach" out front, which though lacking in sand, is easily navigable with only small sea-washed rocks and shells underfoot. All in all, a highly recommended site to enjoy the charms of Harpswell!
