Wonderful private escape
We went kayaking and biking in Acadia National Park, but we enjoyed staying away from the tourist crowds on this property. It was a super cute house, on a gorgeous setting on a hill. And the town of Belfast has many options to eat and shop. Definitely coming back!!

Blissful few days
This property was perfect for us. We like to head up to Maine from NYS a couple of times a year for a short break. The cottage is very comfortable and well appointed. The decor is charming and there was everything we needed to cook for ourselves which is rare. We loved it! Thank you Jonathan.

I was looking for suitable accommodations for two adults and found it. This place has a great walking path right in the back, which takes you directly into town if you are a walker this is a perfect place for you. Subfloor heating was unbelievable and keeping us nice and warm during chilly nights.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property and would definitely stay here again. Even though it rained the majority of the time, the cottage was cozy and well appointed so it didn’t really affect our stay. Now THAT is a good rental!

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Jonathan’s cottage. We were lucky to have great weather for four days and spent time outside from morning coffee on the eastern patio to evening sunset, dinner and fire pit on the west side of the house. The home is nicely decorated with local art, pottery, etc and has everything one can need. The walk into town is easy along a well manicured rail trail, leading right from the dooryard. Jonathan is welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. We recommend this stay without reservation.

Awesome Belfast Cottage
We have been vacationing in Belfast, Maine for years and Jon's cottage was definitely a "must-go-back-to"! The photos and description gave an accurate representation of this most comfortable and convenient cottage. The kitchen appliances were awesome and the privacy of the yard made vacationing with our pooch a breeze! Having the Belfast Rail Trail at our doorstep made morning walks a must along with its proximity to downtown! Also, some great photo opps...Thanks much....we WILL be back!

Book this cottage!
This cottage, Forepeak, is just about perfect – love the location – Belfast is an amazing small town - if you like, the town is a short walk from the cottage on a lovely trail. The cottage is also an easy drive of much of the mid-coast (we went to Acadia, Bar Harbor, Camden, Rockland, Boothbay Harbor, and Freeport). The cottage itself is so lovely – love that there is a king-size bed, a well-equipped kitchen, and laundry. The upstairs loft has a double bed and powder room. The back deck is wonderful and has a grill and chiminea. The dock is a short walk down the lawn – it’s such a peaceful place to just relax. Jon is a wonderful host! Can’t wait to go back.

Perfect Belfast Stay
We loved staying here and will certainly be back! It's the perfect location with direct access to the trail, which we took to town several times. We took the kayaks out on the water and enjoyed sitting on our porch. The host, Jon, was very helpful and generous in suggesting activities and places to eat. I loved watching the blue jays, bumblebees, and even a gopher in the yard with the water view in the distance. The cottage had everything we needed. If we had stayed longer the well-appointed kitchen would have been put to use. We were here during an unusually hot week so it was warm in the house despite opening windows and using a fan. Fantastic place to stay we would recommend it without reservation!
