My wife and I really enjoyed the coziness of the cottage and the view of the water. The changing tides always made for an adventure of what we'd find next along the shore. Everything about the cottage and property was as advertised. We definitely would recommend and come again. Brunswick is a good base location for a week touring up and down the coast.

Mini Vacation at Driftwood Cottage

We stayed at this cute cabin for a short weekend trip to the coast of Maine for a family memorial. We were pleased to find provisions already in the cabin - coffee, all the things you need to get started, even a bottle of wine. Super cute, cozy & quiet. Close to all the things we wanted to explore. Only regret - we did not have MORE TIME to stay! We WILL BE BACK!

Perfect place for watching eagles and ospreys and terns--with the peaceful lapping of waves. The kitchen is very well equipped; bed and seating are comfortable. The water pressure is iffy but mostly OK. I did buy bottled water for drinking. These are minor problems more than made up for by the location.

Amazing location

We had an amazing time celebrating our 25th anniversary! We arrived after dark because of another event that ran late. Locating the cabin was a bit difficult in the dark, but once we figured out to go on down the hill, we found it on. We were welcomed with flowers and a bottle of wine for our anniversary! The cabin is only steps f on the water and I spent my mornings on the back deck or on the lake shore rocks enjoying the peace and quiet! We used the cabin as our home base for visiting many locations along the Maine coast. I would definitely come back and stay here again. Take warning that the "Main Birds" aka mosquitos are incredibly annoying. Whether outside or elsewhere in Maine, we got eaten alive, even with bug spray.
