Quaint cottage
Mills cottage is a quaint little cottage in a small fishing village. There are some very good hiking trails near the property and the town of Damariscotta is about a half hour away. There are kayak rentals and other activities there. South Bristol is good for relaxing and unplugging.

Cynthia,
You had an interesting program when you were here. You did well to attend all of your classes and still take in the sights of South Bristol and beyond. Maybe you can come back a little earlier and experience more of the pleasures of the mid-coast of Maine. It has many hidden treasures. Thank you for your visit!

Charming harborside cottage
The cottage was charming and the view of “the gut” and the working harbor was wonderful. I loved having to cross the drawbridge to get home. Christina’s flower gardens added another special touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here on Rutherford Island! Recommend the clam chowder at Coveside and the Pemaquid Seafood restaurant just 10 min away. Thanks for a great time in a special place!

South Bristol Charm
We really enjoyed our stay in South Bristol. The cottage was the perfect size for us and our dog. The deck on the back of the house was a great place to sit, relax, and look out at the water, boats, and the beautiful flower gardens. The driveway was a bit tricky since it’s hard to see when backing out into the street. One of us needed to be a guide out onto the road. We were able to cross the street and walk the dog along the water. The cottage had everything we needed. It was convenient to surrounding towns and restaurants. It felt very private and cozy.

Lovely spot, upgrades needed asap.
We absolutely loved the location of the Mills Cottage on Rutherford Island just past the drawbridge with views of the Marina from the deck. That was stellar.
We found the accommodations to be less so. The beds were not at all comfortable and there is not an inviting or comfortable chair to be found inside or outside the cottage.
The Adirondack chairs on the deck are very old, very low to the ground and very splintered, making it difficult to enjoy this marvelous spot. We took a trip to Dick's and bought ourselves a couple of patio chairs to take advantage of the spot without risk of injury.
The bed was not at all comfortable or 'giving' in any way and the couch sank to such a degree when one sat in it that the arm rests were at shoulder height and it took the cooperation of a willing partner to arise from a seated position.
All of this and more was shared with the owners who acknowledged that they are "working on it".
In spite of the accommodations, we enjoyed out time in South Bristol and nearby areas and do intend to return although not to the Mills Cottage.

We regret that our preference for Wooden Adirondack Chairs, Firm Mattresses, Cotton Sheets, and Classic Furniture was not the taste of these guests. We are pleased that our new box springs, firm mattresses and authentic chairs please most of our guests looking for a visit in a uniquely quaint environment. We are pleased that our reviews have been positive in the past. Our care, upkeep and cleanliness of the property is of upmost importance to us.

Wonderful Stay!
My husband and I spent a week in South Bristol and thoroughly enjoyed it. The bed was comfortable. And the sofa was a great seating area. I really enjoyed sitting in the rocking chair looking at the water as it rained several days and we were not able to use the deck as much as I would have like. Walking is fine along the road but you must be on the look out for cars going by. We walked to Osier's several times to eat. Many sites to visit in the area. Excellent experience.

Very well equipped. There were a lot of things we brought that we didn't need, as other years we needed sheets, blankets, etc. Heat worked well. Only problem was raccoons getting into garbage every night. We need a bungie cord to secure lid on can. Thank you for a happy week. Any chance for next June?

Enjoyed our stay. Beautiful location on the harbor. Cottage has everything you need. Good location for day trips. Our first day the television would not work. We contacted the owners. They immediately arranged to purchase a new one which we picked up. Have never experienced such quick response to an issue. Truly amazing. Would come back again.

A Breath of Old Time Maine
A working harbor of lobster boats, skiffs, & pleasure craft viewed over a riot of color- hydrangea, snowballs, pinks & purples & Black- eyed Susans leaning back in Adirondack chairs. Coffee on deck, in morning mist, hum of early traffic & drawbridge lifting for boats to pass. Small cottage tucked between two classic ME homes but private with trees, rocks, plantings. Lush green backyard delightful for reading, (good collection of books!) sketching, playing my banjo. Great hot shower, cool nights with comfy bed & crisp linens. Busy hummingbirds & a bold red squirrel kept us smiling. Easy location for daily trips to explore the area & sample food & views! Ice Pond Museum & pond a favorite.

Relaxing getaway
The cottage is in a great location overlooking a fishing harbor and a drawbridge with the caution light at the foot of the driveway. The cottage is quaint with an old time feel having a cute little deck with adirondack chairs and a lobster cage table. In the morning you can hear the boats leaving for the day from the bedroom window. We enjoyed getting lunch at Oisers Market and chatting with the fisherman. We had a great lobster dinner at the Fisherman's Co-Op with the freshest steamers ever! The cottage was convenient for us to take rides to the Botanical Gardens, Camden, Pemaquid Lighthouse, New Harbor and Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse. We recommend the cottage for a quaint rustic feel getaway.

Beautiful location
During our week stay, we enjoyed the deck view. The location and town were wonderful. Osiers and the Co-op met our lobster cravings! Communication was great with owners, lots of information about the Area. The cottage is as described. Our small children loved the walk to the drawbridge. Biggest drawback was the seating outside and inside the cottage weren't comfortable for us to wind down at the end of a long day of exploring and dining table wasn't family of 4 (2 small guys), friendly.
