Thank you, Nancy! We're thrilled you enjoyed the amazing views and found our home to reach your comfort and safety to enjoy with your fur baby. Your kind words mean a lot to us. We can't wait to welcome you back soon for another memorable stay in Maine!
You could NEVER find a more beautiful setting than this! The house is absolutely charming, although there is essentially only one bathroom for bathing because the other one has a tub with no shower head on tubing, or anything.

The property was very clean and well maintained. It was just as described in the listing. Everything you could need in the kitchen was provided. Enjoyed the water views and watching the lobstermen haul in their catch.

Cynthia,
Thank you so much for you time taken to write us a review regarding your stay at the Cottage!
We work hard to reach expectations, and are pleased to hear that we have reached them for your visit! Happy that you also got to take in some views of what Maine is all about, Lobstering! Have a wonderful rest of your summer.
It was a great place to base out of for Bar Harbor. The cabin, while rustic, is very cute and very clean and perfect for families. Thanks for hosting us!

The cottage couldn't be in a more beautiful location, we watched seals and otters every morning from the shore while drinking coffee. The cottage is dated but that only added to the charm. We loved our stay.

We had the best stay at this beautifully situated home. The house is even better than advertised, and we loved the quaint community of Hancock Point. The highlight of the trip was watching the sun set each night - great views!
The location, views and comfortability of the main house and cottage were absolutely amazing! This was wonderful experience, the home did not disappoint!

We had a very peaceful and soul-nourishing week. We did many of the usual vacation things, but I most treasure the happy hours spent just watching the sea and the sky. My whole family is looking forward to returning to this lovely, comfortable old house.

Yes, this is a family home, kind of a camp on the water with a great view and location. It has a lot of history and charm, but is clean. Its a great location for a family to spread out, and even rent the optional guest house for more room! Thank you for your stay!

The house is very charming and comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked. We were greeted by the Mr. Denny-Brown who showed us around. The view is spectacular. We cannot wait to return.

We really enjoyed the view of the sunrise and sunset on the bay. The otters and seals were an added bonus. Once we figured out the stove, life was good. Thank you, Susan, for staying in touch with us.

The location was ideal for us on the water. We enjoyed our daily strolls along the shore. We saw seals, porpoises, eagles, loons and ospreys. It was fun watching the lobstermen tend their traps right out back. The only drawback was the very rustic nature of the building.

It truly is a family camp, as listed. The photos of each room are also very recent! If you love the history and cozy accomodations this is a great place for larger families. The waterfront is second to none, with the wildlife as you mentioned and amazing sunsets. Thank you for your stay, we appreciate you!

What the house lacks in amenities is made up for by the location. This rustic property sits on the shore, blessed by the most beautiful scenery and sunsets. The house has everything you need, just very basic.
