Wonderful location on Penobscot Bay

Property was very clean and had everything we needed to a week long stay. It is on the small side but the location and the price more than make up for that.

Rosemary and Al are wonderful hosts. The property is beautiful. We spent most of our “home” time on the deck. Sunrises are spectacular. The cottage is well equipped with everything we needed to make meals. The bed is comfortable. The shower stall is a bit tight, but that wasn’t a concern for us. We enjoyed exploring Owls Head, hiking, beaches, The Transportation Museum. Also the Sail and Steam Museum in Rockland. If you're looking for a cottage rental with great hosts, a fantastic view and a relaxing visit, Rosie's cottage is the place to be.

We very much enjoyed staying at the cottage. The deck is wonderful, overlooking the water and all the activity in the harbor. We brought kayaks hoping to launch from the property (as we did a couple of years ago) but found that seaweed has covered much of the shoreline around that part of the harbor, which made it too slippery. We went to the public launch, which is close by. The Dobrics are great hosts and easy to get in touch with as far as any questions or requests. The grill is exceptionally clean (unlike other rentals we've had). Overall, a very nice experience.

Lovely Little Cottage

This little cottage was perfect for a quiet week on the water. Although nothing fancy, it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

This cottage is in a beautiful location! The view of Penobscot Bay is wonderful. The local seafood restaurants are excellent! Every morning we got up to see the sunrise over the harbor and went into town for breakfast or a lobster roll at Claws or McLoons (both outstanding!!).The owners are sweet, they came to greet us. Overall it is clean, the decor is older, but it made us feel like we were at our gramma's house for a visit!THE VIEW is outstanding!

Cottage on the bay

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful week in Maine on Penobscot Bay. The cottage was perfect- clean, comfortable, ideal location, and a terrific view of the bay. Perfect for relaxing and taking trips to surrounding towns, hiking, restaurants, and beaches. Al and Rosie were super friendly and helpful and we hope to return to the cottage in the future.

Rosemary’s property is in a beautiful location close to Rockland. We enjoyed being able to take short drives to nature preserves, lighthouses and historic sites. The view from the deck is gorgeous. We were very fortunate to have a week of mostly dry weather to enjoy some relaxing time on the deck. We cooked all our fresh seafood meals in-house and the kitchen was well stocked for that purpose.

Great sunrises and views of the harbor

Great location to all the sites and activities surrounding the area. The cottage is perfect for 2 people. If you don't want a lot of excitement this place is for you. Enjoyed the daily feeding of the seagulls from the owner next door! Wonderful time.

We loved this cottage. So light and easy. The view over the water made it feel like being on a boat. The sunrise and sunset and the moonrise were all so beautiful. Sweet spot.
