Katie is wonderful - very responsive and friendly! The view is beautiful, the location made it easy to get to Bath, and the park pass for Popham Beach and Reid State Park was a big money saver. The screened-in porch and sunset views were lovely! But we were disappointed about a few things:
mosquitoes: Maine is notorious for its mosquitoes, and there were plenty around the cottage. Having to sprint from car to cottage is not an exaggeration! Do not expect to hang out outside unless you are covered in bug spray.
kitchen: not what I would have called "fully stocked" - if you have a good knife at home or a large serving spoon, or cup measures, bring them!
shower: If you are over 5'8", or if you are fairly chubby (like me), you will find it hard to turn around or bend down to wash your legs. If you want luxurious bathing, this is not it. If you are obese, look elsewhere.
beds: very uncomfortable, saggy and lumpy mattresses, including the pull out couch. Investing in new mattresses would really help.
cleanliness: on the surface, it's very clean - spotless fridge and stove, counters, etc. But the cleaners don't seem to look up - at all the cobwebs decorating every corner and down the walls.
spiders: I stayed in the queen bedroom and had no issue, but my daughter in the twin bedroom lost a lot of sleep and killed spiders every night we were there. Arachnophobia? This is not the place for you.
Admittedly, I didn't complain about these things to Katie because I figured there was nothing she could do about most of them once we had arrived - but I hope some improvements are made for the future. It is a cute place, and it served our purposes.
