Loved it so much 1st time we came back a 2nd time!!
Once again we had an incredible time at Paul’s Cottage! The cottage is located in great area; pretty much in the middle of everywhere we like to explore. Accommodations were everything we have come to expect…comfy and cozy. We love staying at the cottage in Tenants Harbor and hope to come back ASAP.

Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at my cottage again. The cottage is open for rentals until November 15.2026.
Have a great weekend!
My week long stay in early October was a joy from the moment I walked into Paul’s Cottage. Though there was no stove, I hadn’t planned on cooking there since the grocery store, bakery and local restaurants have everything anyone needs. The one room cottage had plenty of heat and I could open windows for a breeze. Chairs were very straight backed but there were plenty pillows. Walking around Tenants Harbor is beautiful, especially around the high color autumn season. And a trip into Port Clyde, Rockland or further is always worth it. Would love to return.
Paul's Cottage was perfect: I stayed there with my dog for 5 days. The cottage itself is a gem - just perfectly sized and beautifully comfortable. The bed and the bathroom were lovely, and I really enjoyed sitting out on the porch. Owner couldn't have been more helpful. Tenant's Harbor is a beautiful spot: small, quiet but with a working harbour and a buzzy General Store and Wharfside Cafe. It is also a short drive from the beach and from towns like Camden if you want to explore farther afield. I wholly recommend Paul's Cottage!

We're so glad you and your dog enjoyed your stay at Paul's Cottage! It's wonderful to hear the bed, bathroom, and porch made for such a comfortable visit, and that you got to enjoy everything Tenant's Harbor has to offer, from the working harbor to the General Store and Wharfside Cafe, plus easy access to the beach and Camden. Thank you for the kind words and the recommendation!
Wonderful cottage & in a perfect location if you want to stay in the village of Tenants Harbor. We were traveling with our 2 well behaved pooches & wonderful neighborhood to take walks with them. Highly recommend & would not hesitate to stay here again. Very welcoming owner of the property.
My sister and I had a truly wonderful time at Paul's Cottage and hope others in the family will experience it some day too!

Kay the owner of the property is wonderful 👍 😍 and the Cottage was exactly as we pictured it! By far the best vacation we ever had! We will surely be back for a longer stay next time! One week was not enough!
We really enjoyed our stay at Paul's cottage. It's a beautiful space with lots of natural light and a comfy bed. We hope to return sometime and stay again.
Exactly as advertised - super cute space, very comfy bed and couch. Plenty of blankets and pillows. Loved staying here.

Paul’s Cottage is Awesome!
We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Paul’s Cottage! The cottage was cute, cozy and immaculate. The bed was comfortable and everything we needed was right there. The location was ideal. The cottage is in the middle of so many cool places that we wanted to check out. We are hoping to return next summer. Highly recommend.

Paul's Cottage
The cottage was as advertised mostly. The view of the water was a tiny little slice between two houses, you could just see a little water at high tide.The cottage was clean and comfortable . The house manager was very helpful and always available. The owner was not very helpful and not particularly pleasant. We had constant issues with the internet.Couldn't stream movies without a lot of buffering., trying to be on a computer for work purposes was almost impossible and very inconvenient. When we reached out to the owner, he told us no-one had ever had a problem. That was his response whenever there was an issue about anything. This was not a welcome exchange or a helpful one. Hopefully a booster will be added to the internet situation before the next guest arrives. The router and modem are in the owners house. The hot water tank is small so you need to stagger bathing if you want it hot and are more than 1 person.Other than that, the cottage is as advertised, nicely decorated and conveniently located. The lack of air conditioner was not a problem as there are very efficient ceiling fans.

We’re glad you found the cottage clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, and conveniently located, and that the house manager was helpful throughout your stay. We’re sorry for the frustration you experienced with the internet and communication. The internet concern was addressed within the first few days of your stay. The cottage also has a 40-gallon electric water heater, so hot water may need time to replenish after heavier use. We appreciate your feedback and are glad the ceiling fans kept the cottage comfortable.

Wonderful Stay
A lovely studio cabin, appointed with all the necessities. It was a great base for us to explore the beauty of the rugged Maine mid coastal area. The neighborhood was quiet and the Tenant’s Harbor General Store is a 5 minute walk to meet a variety of needs.

Comfortable and private. Steps always from the water and charming local grocer.
Paul's Cottage was the perfect place to unwind. The cottage is delightfully appointed. The location is idyllic -- perfect Maine summer house -- and Tenants Harbor is a serene village. I hope to return to Paul's Cottage soon for some more blissful rest. Thank you!
Cute little private cottage close to everything! Just a few miles you can hop on the ferry and head to Mohegan Island a must see! Head in the opposite direction and head to Camden another beautiful spot! The covered porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening conversation and cocktails
Defiantly will return to Pauls Cottage!
The cottage is tucked away in a safe beautiful neighborhood. Walking distance to water and dining. Found so many wonderful local things to do. Would return and recommend. Quiet & comfortable.
Nice, quaint property adjacent to a main residence. Nice location. Short walk to the Happy Clam - great atmosphere and food! One drawback was no TV despite being advertised. So head to the Clam!....
The cottage was perfect for us and our pup. Simple layout, with some antiques and artwork, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and relaxing. The kitchenette had everything we needed to prepare simple meals, including coffee maker, toaster oven and microwave.The area is quiet with friendly folks wherever we went. Walking distance to the harbor, general store (to pick up simple groceries, prepared sandwiches and a deli counter) bakery and a couple restaurants. The cottage is not far from Rockland and Owls Head, with plenty of beautiful spots to explore, hike and enjoy Maine. We enjoyed meeting our friendly host and would love to go back again some day.
Everything was as expected or better. Great directions made it easy to find. Place was well stocked, super clean, very comfortable. Neighborhood is great. And when I needed something, the property manager jumped to help at record speed. Will definitely go back. :-)

Cute cottage.
This was our first stay in a vacation rental and it did not disappoint. It had everything we needed and was in a quiet area. The bed was not my favorite as it was not firm at all and dipped in the middle.
We very much enjoyed this well-located and appointed cottage and appreciated the responsiveness of the owner to a request for grilling materials and the Guest Contact for her responsiveness. Two minor concerns: a stove with oven would have expanded our food prep options, and finding the address on GPS was impossible - only after calling her did Contact email a special map to show us how to get to the cottage.

Tenant’s Harbor stay
What a delightful cottage! The decor was perfectly light and airy. The cottage was just the right size for the two of us. It was a joy to return to the cottage after a day exploring the coast of Maine. The porch gave us the opportunity to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful evening.
