Wawenock Cottage is exactly what we look for in a Maine vacation: access to the water, a great view, dark skies (great for stargazing), super location, and quiet--both atmospheric and electronic. The history of Wawenock Cottage is also a selling point for us. We love the shelves and shelves of books and magazines from the 1800s to the present! The rustic cabin is perfect for late June trips--the weather is cool and breezy, and no air conditioner is necessary. As a matter of fact, a few evening fires in the terrific fireplace are the norm!
The short drive to Blue Hill (and even shorter drive to the Brooklin "town center") means that great food, shopping, and entertainment are nearby.
Wawenock is not fancy, but that's what makes it perfect. The creaking wicker chairs, tiny (but amazingly well-stocked) kitchen, cozy wool blankets, and family art and artifacts make it feel like home every time we visit. We just returned from a visit, and we're already looking forward to another!
Oh, and let's not forget the owner, caretaker, and cleaner. They are all great! Cheryl is an amazing owner who is a great communicator and easily accessible--she even checked in on us while she was overseas! The local caretaker is just next door, and he's very kind and helpful, and the cleaner does a great job of making the place feel great upon arrival.
