Wonderful location on Penobscot Bay

Property was very clean and had everything we needed to a week long stay. It is on the small side but the location and the price more than make up for that.

Quiet in the water

Nice home-like stay with amazing views. Great sunrise, especially with the Coast Gaurd Eagle clipper ship visiting in the harbor. The bed was really comfortable.

Cottage on the bay

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful week in Maine on Penobscot Bay. The cottage was perfect- clean, comfortable, ideal location, and a terrific view of the bay. Perfect for relaxing and taking trips to surrounding towns, hiking, restaurants, and beaches. Al and Rosie were super friendly and helpful and we hope to return to the cottage in the future.

Lovely cottage close to all the Mid-Coast has to offer.

The cottage was perfect for the two of us. Very clean and the owners are extremely friendly and care about your experience. Loved sitting on the deck watching the birds and tides come and go. Close to shopping and good restaurants. Couldn’t ask for a better stay.

Great sunrises and views of the harbor

Great location to all the sites and activities surrounding the area. The cottage is perfect for 2 people. If you don't want a lot of excitement this place is for you. Enjoyed the daily feeding of the seagulls from the owner next door! Wonderful time.

We loved this cottage. So light and easy. The view over the water made it feel like being on a boat. The sunrise and sunset and the moonrise were all so beautiful. Sweet spot.

Great Cabin With An Even Better View!

The cottage was a great place to spend a quiet week exploring the mid-coast area of Maine. It provided all that my wife and I needed to serve as base camp for our stay, from linens to lobster pots, it was all there. The view of Penobscot Bay and Owls Head was incredible! Coupled with the ability to dine outside each evening while watching the ships go by in the harbor; priceless. The nearby attractions kept us plenty busy and we got to see many of the nearby quant villages and shops. Great for that romantic escape to quintessential Maine!

Week by the harbor

Great location for views of the harbor. Quiet dead end street. Our hosts were very nice and helpful. For guests who bring kayaks, be aware that you have to carry them down some rocky shoreline to get to the water.

Vacation in Rockland

We were overwhelmed by the gorgeous view from the deck. The cottage is right on the water! The deck furniture is perfect. The kitchen has all you need including a coffee pot and coffee! The TV is in fine working order. Because my husband is so tall, he had to adjust to the double bed. We have a queen size. bed at home! The owners are cordial and helpful. We had a great week!

Relaxing week

Terri and I really enjoyed our week in Owl's Head. Rosemary and Al were nearby and available but respected our privacy. The cottage is wonderfully located and comfortable. Everything we needed for the week was furnished. We enjoyed being able to bicycle to the lighthouse as well as on a relatively close by rail trail. Thanks for a relaxing week.

We so enjoyed our week here in Owls Head. Beautiful weather, views, serenity. Thank you Rosie and AL for sharing your little cottage. Your kindness and hospitality were greatly appreciated. Small, but comfortable, the listing is accurate. Sure going to miss those sunrises drinking coffee on the deck! The cottage and the area help create a truly peaceful atmosphere. Thanks again!

Million Dollar View!

Spectacular view of Rockland Harbor and the breakwater/lighthouse from the deck and kitchen area. Every day we were greeted to a beautiful sunrise. Kitchen is well stocked with everything one needs to prepare meals. The bedroom and bathroom were on the smaller side, but it's a cottage so that was ok with us. All linens and towels were provided which is a nice touch. Oh, and there's a washer and clothesline, so don't overpack. The location is convenient to Port Clyde, Thomaston, Rockland, Rockport and Camden. Rosie and Al were perfect hosts. And so to end, we plan to return!

Wonderful Location!

Rosemary and Al were wonderful hosts.They quickly responded to any requests we had. The cottage was fully outfitted and comfortable. The location couldn’t have been better, very quiet neighborhood, and the view of the harbor right off the deck was incomparable. The town of Rockland was minutes away. We had a very restful vacation, which is just what we needed. I would love to come back next summer.
