Rustic hidden secret

Great place to stay! The owners were wonderful to work with, accommodating our request for a longer stay. Cottage was clean with all comforts of home. Almost don’t want to recommend because we want to keep this place all to ourselves.

Mainestay

The house was bigger than I thought it would be. It was very clean and had everything we could need for a maine vacation. We loved the back porch view, and the short walk to the beach.

A wonderful week at McFarlands Cove in Maine

The property was charming as we drove up it’s driveway. The fun color red welcomed us as we noticed an abundance of windows. Tons of natural light beaming in throughout the day. Many trees surround the property making the site very private. Just a short walk to the water and shore. Great sand beach for shelling and sea glass hunting. With 4 bedrooms up and 1 bedroom on the main it presented itself with many options for sleeping. The deck was well cared for and relaxing. Furniture was comfortable with a mix of modern and antiques. The kitchen was fully stocked and easy to cook in. We found it easy to entertain in the space but found it cozy for a couple alone. Pleasant owners with quick response time from beginning to end of our experience. We will remember our stay there fondly and hope to return.

Delightful weeks

The wood paneled cabin is even more spacious and appealing than the photos suggested. A quiet, secluded country setting very close to the village of So Bristol. The owner was immediately responsive and helpful, came quickly to connect a heating unit and make a small repair. Very enjoyable weeks.

Great House

We loved our week here. The house offers plenty of space and modern conveniences while providing easy access to the water. The fact that they also make yak boards and a canoe available to guest use is a wonderful bonus. It’s a wonderful place to stay, and our hosts made sure we were comfortable. Highly recommended.

Wonderful vacation spot!

My family had the most wonderful time staying at the house and enjoying the surrounding towns. The house was very comfortable and had everything you may need (less internet and cable tv). We would definitely recommend this listing! Thank you Margaret and Diane!
