The harbor and lighthouse right across from the cottage were beautiful. There are no words to describe the sunrises. Liz with Coastal Maine was great to work with and very responsive to any questions we had.

Kay - So glad Lobster Cottage lived up to your New England dream. I agree it is charming and comfortable -- it is one of my very favorite homes. I hope you can come back!
Beautiful views to sit on porch having our coffee and watching the lobstermen go out in their boats.
Nice location and quite for relaxing after some long hiking trails in Acadia. The cottage and all the amenities (more than expected) suited this adult family of 3 with plenty of room.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was perfect for our needs, check in and check out were effortless! Loved the added touch of some essentials - shampoo and conditioner, a fresh sponge and dish soap!
I could look at that view all day - simply gorgeous spot!

Thank you Tom! I'm glad you enjoyed the cottage. The view from the front deck out to the harbor is the perfect spot for morning coffee -- and for watching lobster boats!
Loved this house, so clean and so well supplied. Nicely decorated, owners thought of everything.
Loved staying at this house, great view of the harbor. Owners thought of everything, from extra hooks in the bathrooms to all the supplies, detergents, shampoos, and paper towels. Truly deserves a five star rating.

Thank you Kari! I always like it when guests take time to sit on the porch and enjoy that view. It can be the best part of the vacation. Thanks for staying with us. Liz
All modern conveniences in a charming cottage! The location is great for exploring Acadia National Park at Schoodic. There are good places to eat in the area. Some of our favorites were the Pickled Wrinkle, Lunch on the Wharf, and J.. D. Gerrits. I would definitely stay at the Lobster Cottage again.
