I cannot say enough good things! The cottage was SPOTLESSLY CLEAN when we got there, and anything we might have needed or forgot was there. If you forget your toothbrush or toothpaste, it's there. Bandaids. Peroxide. Want to make an omelet? Fully stocked kitchen. Dinner? A grill outside or use the full oven and stove. Full ice cube trays in the freezer. Dog bed. Cookie jar with dog biscuits. All awesome! Oh, and there was a SLIGHT problem with the TV remote, and Jamie actually gave us a little refund, which was COMPLETELY unnecessary, but very much appreciated!
There are 3 cottages on a private lane. One of the other families had 2 dogs and our dog was thrilled to make friends and play. And because it's a private road, there's no traffic except for the 3 cottages, so the dogs could safely play in the yards together. The beach was a short walk down the stairs and we took her there as well to play. Two hiking areas right down the road, walking distance.
The area is very low key and quiet. We didn't see a traffic light all week! I was there to do a puffin tour in Cutler (Bold Coast Charter, totally recommend!), and we also went into Canada twice and up to Eastport. All very quiet, which was what we wanted from our trip.
If I have a reason to go back to that part of Maine again, I would run, not walk, to rent this cottage again. It was so cozy and comfortable and just great to be in the middle of the woods for several days, hiking, hanging out, walking on the beach, etc.
