Our favorite place to stay in Maine! Family friendly, easy check in, attentive host, stunning views, comfortable beds, thoughtful accomodations. We love the Maine themed books and kids toys. Great location near a campground - we walked out to the point each night to collect shells and enjoy the sunset. Close enough to Jonesport but far enough away to feel secluded. We enjoyed the fire pit several times as well. We love it here!

Quintessential Maine

Lovely decorated and exceptionally cared-for cottage at marvelous location. Our family of six (four kids aged 2 - 11) had fabulous vacation. Many hiking opportunities in the area, kayaking on the cove (cottage is directly at the cove but with enough distance from the water to be comfortable with the toddler). Quiet location, great views.

Five Stars!

This was our 2nd year staying here and it is such a comfortable, clean, well thought-out space to call our home away from home for a week. The house is the perfect amount of space, very functional, and has everything we could need. We enjoyed a few gorgeous sunsets from the deck and enjoyed watching the eagles, ducks, deer, and porcupines that we saw in the yard during the week.

We stayed for ten days. What a wonderful time! The deck was right off the bedroom and the living room. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We have stayed everywhere in northern Maine and this will always be special. R&S

Pristine view from cottage, a cove with fishing boats moored.

We had one sunny day the rest were cloudy/rainy but we had lots of reading material in the cottage and we traveled the half hour to Machias. You can’t miss Columbia Falls pottery shop and Bold coast coffee made in Machias and purchased at The Crow’s Nest a gift and flower shop. It was a relaxingn stay.

A relaxing vacation in Jonesport, Maine.

This cottage is so charming. It is clean, bright, and tastefully decorated. Light streams in the many windows giving an airy feel. An eagle was seen at the top of an evergreen tree across the glistening water of the cove at dusk one evening. A hummingbird was fluttering around the wild rose bush behind the house at times. We enjoyed many beautiful day trips from this property, and loved coming back “home” to the cottage in the evenings for a peaceful sleep.

Sweet cottage

This was the second time we stayed at this property. It is a delightful cottage that sits at the head of a cove; we never tired of watching the action in the harbor. The cottage itself is well appointed and had everything we needed! We wanted for nothing ! The host had supplied the house with everything ( laundry detergent! Drinking water! ), down to the tiniest details ( books ! Playing cards!), that we might need. We loved our stay , and hope to return next year !

Blissful Bungalow on the Bay!

This was the second time my family and I stayed in Jonesport at Cornelia 's property - if possible, the cottage only got better! We absolutely love the peaceful location with stunning views, the comfortable cottage stocked with everything you could need or want and the centrality of Jonesport to so many enjoyable destinations without the crowds or price hikes of other areas. We so appreciate the thoughtful touches at the cottage like children's books and adult books with themes of the sea and lobster villages (we've learned a lot staying and reading!), your well equipped kitchen and the toys including toys and games that are locally made and sourced. Staying at this cottage is one of the few vacation spots where our family truly rests, leaves refreshed and is sad to leave! Till the next time!!!

Great location!

We were pleasantly surprised upon arriving. The cottage was larger than the pictures portray and it is a very private setting. We enjoyed seeing deer in the yard and watching a bald eagle perched nearby. The deck is relaxing and has a nice view of the water. We appreciated having access to a kayak but it can only be used during high tide unless you're comfortable mucking thru the mud flats at lower tides. Overall, we enjoyed our stay (it was mainly used as a base for day exploring the area between Lubec and Gouldsboro) but be forewarned that there is a VERY strong odor of sulfur when using water that lingers. We were not comfortable using the water for drinking or cooking - you should definitely consider buying water before you arrive and it would have been helpful if we knew this in advance.

Thank you for reporting on the sulfur odor. And the web page will reflect your concern. Yes, the Maine Gulf is know for its extraordinary tides. Glad you were able to explore the area.

Cottage on Sawyer's Cove Jonesport, Maine

Property was exceptionally clean and organized with ample guiding notes from the owner (Nina). Beautiful private location with sights and sounds of a working harbor in the background and natural areas up close (mixed forest, tidal mud flats). Abundant bird life including Bald Eagles , Great Blue Herons, various shore birds and Wood Warblers. The location is a great base to use while exploring the many natural areas and outdoor activities the Bold Coast of Down East Maine offers. The only detracting feature of the property is the well water supply which has a brackish odor. We used bottled water for drinking, ice and cooking and used the well water for washing only. This was easy to manage for us and would not stop us from renting the property again (which we would).

Thank you Anthony for your review of The Cottage and its immediate surroundings . I'm so glad you found the location a good base for your exploring and hope you enjoyed each one. I appreciate your acknowledgement of the water situation and the sulfur smell. This has been a work in progress especially this summer. The well was flushed and tests were sent. Also a different filter schedule is being installed. As suggested, your management was perfect and I am glad you and your family worked out the situation successfully. I do look forward to hearing from you again. Nina
