About this property

Lovely Waterfront Cottage with Great Views, Sunsets

Yellow Dog Cottage is on a dead end road located in a sunny clearing right at the ocean’s edge. Out front is a cove that forms a network of tidal pools at low tide that are great for exploring. It's a comfortable, peaceful and relaxing place to spend your vacation.

The house has an open floor plan with a fireplace in the living room that opens onto an well-equipped, eat-in kitchen with everything you’ll need to feel at home. The sun porch off the kitchen has windows on 3 sides and 180-degree water views and is great for reading, eating, relaxing, and playing board games.

You can enjoy fresh-caught lobsters delivered to our dock by our neighbor who lobsters in the bay off the house.
Outside, we have a gas grill, picnic table, outdoor fireplace and Adirondack chairs down by the water’s edge. We have our own ramp and float, a deep-water mooring right in front of the house, and a natural boat launch that great for putting in kayaks and canoes.

We're located just off Muscongus Bay, which boasts some of the best kayaking, sailing, and motoring on the coast of Maine and is just minutes away by boat. Town, with local supermarkets, cafes, gas stations, and drugstores and the famous Moody's Diner, are about 20 minutes away by car.

We welcome your well-behaved dog with prior approval and an additional fee -- please inquire. Smoking is not permitted anywhere inside the house or on the porches.

**Additional photos available, please e-mail**

Conveniently located halfway between Friendship and Waldoboro, it's an easy day trip to all of coastal Maine's attractions. It's just 45 minutes to Boothbay Harbor, and the Camden, Rockland, and Rockport areas. It's 90 minutes to L.L. Bean, Freeport's outlet shopping, Popham Beach, and Reid State Park. And it's just two hours to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.

Serene getaway
Great property with multiple spaces for hangout; plenty of room for a large family. The house is right on the water, and the beauty of the surrounding area, as well as quiet and calm cannot be matched. Quick responses from the owner on any questions. Nearby handyman also catches and delivers lobsters right to your door. Excellent experience; would love to come back!

Nature Abounds
Cozy dog friendly waterfront cottage with excellent access for kayaking and fishing from convenient dock. Outdoor fire pit facing west provides ambiance all day especially sunsets. Only issue we had was that a new home was being constructed at the end of the peninsula and the tranquility of our experience was interrupted by the constant parade of huge dump trucks roaring past the house located 30 feet from the road. Otherwise we had a fantastic vacation. The owners of the property are excellent and very responsive.

Many times to mid-coast Maine - nicest location yet!
As a couple and then as a family, we have been coming to Maine for 30+ years. We love the mid-coast/Penobscot area. This house is lovely and a perfect location if you like quiet and privacy. Beds were comfortable. Communication with owner was above & beyond. Hope to return here.

Peaceful
Thank you for sharing your home with us. From the moment we drove into the home, the view was stunning. Everyday we spent hours sitting on the dock, fishing, kayaking, watching the eagles and listening to the all the birds. We ate dinner each night outside on the picnic table, played board games and did puzzles in the sun room. We truly need this reset and this home was the very retreat we needed. We are looking forward to booking with you again - this home had everything we needed and desired. Thank you a million times over for this experience. Looking forward to more future adventures at your home! Thank you kindly, The Oliver Family

Amazing stay
The property did not disappoint- from the view of the lobster fisherman tending their traps, to the fire pit overlooking the water and sunset and the fresh lobster meal, this was our favorite place we stayed in Maine. The house was spacious and the kitchen was well appointed. Do not hesitate to book this place! Harlen also made our experience special by making sure we had fresh lobster and prepared it correctly!

About the host

Hosted by Katharine

Host profile image
I spent my summers growing up in Maine and introduced my husband to it before we were married. He (happily!) loved it as much as I did and 15 years ago we decided to look for our own place on the coast. We love spending time at Yellow Dog Cottage whenever we get the chance and also love sharing it with our guests.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property before we even got out of the car. I remember stepping out of the car on a beautiful November day, instantly in love with the view and the remarkable quiet. We actually purchased the house without ever having been inside, relying just on our peeks through the windows and the photos my parents took on a walk through they generously did for us after we had to return home. We still love spending time there, excited to arrive and sad to leave.

What makes this property unique

We love our house and the area. Waldoboro is a bit sleepy, even in the summer, off the main tourist path but with just enough to do. Many people familiar with the coast of Maine haven't heard of it, which is just how we like it. It's a great central location for day trips to all the wonderful places Maine has to offer.
