The first impression upon entering the cottage is how clean and well maintained the property is then you see the view - awesome! We enjoy the peacefulness of sitting in the Adirondack chairs and looking over the water. It is the perfect spot to relax.

lovely spot in Maine

The three bedroom cabin was perfect for us--all on one level, well supplied with bedding and kitchen essentials, spacious deck, and water views. Not on ocean, but lots of birds and woods on three sides.

The location is considered ocean front because the tide comes in and out and it is deep water. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay.

This was our second visit to Hawkweed Cottage and it was as perfect as our first stay! Both the inside and outside are clean and well maintained. The beds are comfortable and the furniture is cozy. That view is beautiful and we spent most of our time outside. Our dog loved watching the birds in the water and being in the peaceful yard. We have already reserved our next visit!

The cottage has a wonderful view and we appreciated all the little things like having dish and hand soap when we got there. The bedding and towels were all clean and new looking. We enjoyed exploring the area and coming back to relax on the deck listening to the birds and watching the boats. This was a perfect cottage for our family with lots to do in the area.

Great Maine Cottage

Hawkweed Cottage is the perfect place for a September vacation. The view from the deck is beautiful! We slept in the “Maine Room” so we fell asleep looking at the stars and moon reflecting in the water, and awoke to pink and lavender skies each morning. The trees were just starting to change colors so I bet late September will be beautiful! We have already booked our return for next year.

Our pleasure to have you stay. You mention all the beautiful aspects that I too enjoy. Before we began having guests, I took a week vacation in October. The first week was always amazing too, and some years I got a sunburn out on the deck! Every season is a blessing. See you in 2025.

Super nice house. Very clean, has all that I needed. The setting was postcard perfect. I loved waking to the beautiful scene just outside of my window. So peaceful and quiet. Just a short drive to everything. The owners were great. Friendly and available. I can’t wait to come back.
