Excellent location

The property is located perfectly for a Maine vacation - centrally located between major tourist areas to east and west. The property itself is remote and the perfect get away.

Lovely! This is a very relaxing property and would stay again for sure if we return. My only suggestion to add is that it was missing a microwave for a quick reheat of coffee or food or popcorn. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Perfect get away!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful house on Harrington Cove! The home is spotless, filled with tasteful, homey touches that made for an exceptionally fun time. Our family enjoyed watching the grey herons and sand pipers from the Adirondack chairs in the cove, riding bikes on the quiet, nearby back roads, and some incredible star gazing.

Beautiful Cottage on a Cove

Beautiful cottage, excellent location. My family and I had no concerns or complaints. The cottage is close to an array of coastal activities, and charming village's. My wife and I enjoyed coffee by the cove in the morning's. The cottage had plenty of room for three teens. The location is private and provided us with a quiet place to relax. Would recommend, and would stay again.

Peaceful

Beautiful, lovely and many upgrades to this home. We loved the solitude and quiet this provided for our family to unplug. Close enough to many day hikes and fishing. We fell in love with Maine!! :)

My family and I live on the east coast and enjoy time in mid-coast Maine throughout the year. I am in the media industry, have children and two lovely dogs.

Why they chose this property

This property is a hidden gem, tucked away on a quiet cove but with great proximity to restaurants, towns and fantastic outdoor activities. The property has everything we looked for in a vacation home - waterfront, privacy, beautiful woody acreage, open layout with great flow and close to town/stores.

We could not be happier with the location, the water front setup and the house layout.
