The cabin is rustic. The furniture is vintage and not very comfortable. The beds were comfortable and plenty of linens on chilly nights. The "front" entrance was up moss covered rocks and would have been easier access up the few stairs, instead of rocks.

Amazing!

My sister and I stayed at Johanna's beautiful cabin, and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. It was so cozy and comfortable and we loved the soaring ceilings and beautiful views, even through the rain and fog of our short stay. We loved the whole feel/vibe of this special cabin. Johanna was easy to communicate with. Her cabin is a true gem.

Sweet Maine cottage—relaxing stay

We loved Johanna’s family cottage! It was very homey and old fashioned, and it obviously belonged to a family who love it! The porch was great for drinking coffee in the morning or wine at night. The kitchen was well equipped. Johanna was very helpful with great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

We enjoyed our stay. I like the vintage decor and the location. We really enjoyed Southport General Store for breakfast and lunch. It’s a long walk to get into the house but we didn’t mind it because our house has similar features. Also be prepared for mosquitoes. The only thing I would fix is to find a better place to store all the cardboard boxes above the closet in the bedroom.

This was our 3rd time staying here and we can’t wait to be back. It’s very quiet and peaceful with a lovely water view. We love to take our coffee out on the deck each morning and listen to the birds while watching the water. The cottage has everything we need including a great kitchen with plenty of pot, pots, mixing bowls, etc for cooking which is not what we find often in rental homes. You do need to be mobile enough to climb steps to get to the house but it’s well worth it if you can.

Southport revisited

We’ve always loved the BoothBay area, but haven’t visited since Covid. What a relief to see that the area is still downright lovely. The early fall weather suited us as were escaping Florida perpetual summer heat. The cottage supplied with everything we could want save lobster served each night. The bed was cozy, the water hot, the views outstanding and the steps helped work off our treats. Our hosts answered our moving in day concerns promptly. Hope to return again.

Quaint cottage in Maine; would stay again

This cottage in Southport Maine was perfect for a weekend away from the city with friends. We used it as a basecamp to explore Boothbay Harbor. Pros: Kitchen had everything we needed to make big meals together, gorgeous view of the water from porch, beds were comfy (at least mine was), showers were hot, and the house was clean. Also loved the marine themed decoration and family feel. Tips: Finding the parking and cottage up the hill was confusing so be sure to get directions. Also we couldn't get the wifi to work.

I appreciate the review and I will make sure my signs are put back in place to show directions to our parking lot and the path to the cottage. I have had the wifi issue corrected. Hope you will visit us again. Thank you.

Serene Southport Cottage

What a fabulous time we had at this beautiful cottage! Johanna was very communicative, her directions to find the path were detailed and we had no issue finding our way. We immediately fell in love with this charming cottage as soon as we stepped inside. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with all the cook and serveware we could ever need. The beds have high quality mattresses and we slept very soundly each night. The deck looking out at Capitol island was large with plenty of seating for our friends to visit. The view is absolutely stunning. We cannot wait to return. It was perfect in every way.

Johanna was an excellent host

My family came up for a 3 night stay in Maine. Johanna was a super host. She was attentive, provided great communication and was very hospitable. The cabin is charming and has a great view of the water. The layout is different with all bedrooms on one floor and the bathroom on the main floor. Everything she says in the description is accurate. Our only issue with our stay was the heat. It was very hot during our stay (90+ degrees) - so it took the cabin a bit of time to cool down. We opened all the windows and The fans in the room helped too. Overall, this is a good place.

Rustic coastal cabin

The house was clean, comfortable, and was everything we needed for our long weekend. The pathway to the cabin could be marked better and needs lighting, which we were made aware of prior to our stay. We enjoyed our time with our grandkids as we were in the island for a wedding.

A Charming Old Cottage in a Beautiful Setting

We loved everything about the well equipped and comfortable cottage. Minutes from Boothbay afforded us a great jumping off spot for the exploration of surrounding areas. The feel and smell of an old cottage brought back rich memories of the past. The sunsets on the point of the island were lovely. We would highly recommend this property.

This is not a waterfront property - it is a water view only.

This cottage is quaint, and cozy. The location is nice, but there is no water access. The pictures are not quite accurate. The stairs leading down to the waterfront lead to a roped off dead end trail. Unfortunately the view from the deck is blocked quite a bit by overgrown trees. If you know this going in, it's a nice place to stay.
