We loved the Topsider. It’s a beautiful place to stay. One of us even enjoyed all the exercise from going up and down the many stairs. The thing that would prevent us from returning is how much time we had to spend traveling to restaurants, shopping, grocery store, and laundromat, Carrie and Paul are excellent hosts and have a lovely vacation spot.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at Topsider! The cottage was incredibly well-equipped, clean, and comfortable; we enjoyed family game time, cooking our own lobsters and fish on the grill, and enjoying beautiful sunsets and views from the deck. We loved the beach we could walk to, and great location to enjoy our Georgetown favorites and other nearby activities. We look forward to returning and creating more family memories at Topsider!

We had a wonderful 5th visit to Topsider. Terrific view and cozy interior makes it on our short list of favorite places ever. This trip we especially enjoyed the Maritime Museum in Bath and first visit to Pemaquid peninsula and lighthouse . We also discovered Maine’s own Gifford ice cream enjoyed on Tooside deck with sunset.
