Unfortunately the cottage was sold this year so I opted for a Thompson House cottage. I loved it!

My husband and I have been spending a week at one of the Thompson cottages the past few years, and…read moreeven stretched it to two weeks last summer. We find it a time of profound relaxation, if we choose it so, with limited internet access and much time watching the ocean. We also spend a lot of time reading and walking, and learning more each year about Maine. We use the library built by the Thompsons, with a focus on books by Maine authors, or set in Maine, plus the latest bestsellers. We use the books on local trails and sites to explore the area. Karen and Merle and the staff are always helpful, and have really helped us get to know the area. We'll be back in years to come, and are considering adding a May visit. After all, we want to get to know Maine in the springtime, as well as at the height of summer. And we know a wonderful place to serve as our home base.

I found Harborfields on AirBnB for Memorial Day Weekend. We chose the Shore Cottage out of the many…read morethat were available, mainly because this specific cottage is literally right on the water. The cottage sleeps up to 6 people and has an fully equipped kitchen with basic essentials. I was surprised to see there were coffee filters, garbage bags, dish soap, and basic kitchen appliances. The bathroom comes with toilet paper, hand soap, and a blow dryer. The beds were comfortable (we weren't expecting that considering we've slept on stiff beds many times during our travels). The biggest surprise of all was that the fireplace comes with firewood! You can also use one of their rowboats or kayak for free during your stay. We are very happy with the cottages and would love to come again. It really is a great getaway.

The cabin I rented was perfect for me and a very large dog; we sat on the deck and watched the boats come and go. There was a dock with boats to use and Adirondack chairs scattered throughout so you could just watch the harbor. All the cabins are off the main road and tucked back towards the water. Was able to walk my dog just fine. Will def be back

We used their kayaks and paddled around the little island and also across the bay to a small stony beach on a bigger island. We ate seafood almost every day, going to "Jameson Point Lobster" in Friendship or to Rockland to eat. We also cooked in the cabin, and found if we prepared food on the 10" bar we could also look out the window at the water. The people at the cove were all very warm and friendly.

Seanook, with three bedrooms upstairs, is built on the beach; the tide comes in under and around it. It is like being on a boat, but it doesn’t rock! Full kitchen, two baths, four decks, and a dock. Paradise Cottage is across the street from the water with bay views in two directions. It is nestled between woods and gardens and has a small kitchen, two bedrooms, and two baths all on one floor and a shaded deck that wraps two sides with a door from each room. Relax as the tide comes in and out, watch eagles, osprey, and seagulls soar, and listen to the twittering of birdsong around you.

With easy access our Maine cottage rentals encompass all that is offered by a stay on the rockbound coast.

Sea Salt is the absolute best, and it's all because of its amazing host Ammi!…read moreWe have returned to Sea Salt four times since we found this wonderful place, and look forward to our stay every year. We feel very relaxed when we are there, and actually hate having to stay in hotels on our drive up or when going back home. The cottage is very relaxing, cozy, and comfortable. There is a lovely selection of teas and coffees available to have with Ammi's absolutely delicious homemade blueberry muffins! The porch and garden are beautifully tended and there are multiple places to sit outdoors and relax. Ammi is a talented artist and she has a small gallery of work on the premises where you can view and purchase her vibrant work. Her artwork is also on display in the cottages. Ammi's attention to detail, her keen eye for decorating, her wonderful personality, and her genuine care for her guests is what has made this place extra special. We will return again and again!!

SF is a great, little campground. I truly believe that the greatness of the campground starts…read morewith its five miles per hour speed limit. Since guests were asked to respect the speed limit, it afforded people the opportunity to slow down in the campground, and be respectful of other guests. It has to start somewhere. Our site was next to the bathrooms which were very well kept. The trash was never overflowing, the toilets were clean, and the showers were in a decent state. I also enjoyed the constant music which flowed pleasantly into the bathrooms as well. I enjoyed the access to the little store as well. It had most, if not all of one's camping needs provided. Access to ice, firewood, and s'mores supplies, proved quite convenient. One evening, a woman who ran the campground, came over from her camper to take care of me in the store. She did so quite happily, and we shared a few laughs. In all, SF is in a good location, it had all of the necessary amenities, and was well kept. I'd stay again, but I might be getting too old to sleep on an air mattress in a tent. Its location to Camden, Freeport, Boothbay, and obviously Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, were advantageous too. Keep up the good work!

Apparently that site was supposed to be chained off & not reserved, & we were woken up to a bit of the older man's temper, as he thought we took the chain down to enter. Later on, after we decided to just leave & was packing up, he realized the construction crew had failed to replace the chain, thus leaving us to think it was available. He came & apologized, & let us stay on the site, just asked us to move the car to avoid a flat tire, which we actually ended up in the place he asked us to park. We rated 4 stars for the inappropriate assumption & temper but aside from that, they had showers (which you need quarters for by the way), & all the amenities you might expect, & the mama of the property was an absolute sweetheart but we didn't get to actually meet her, unfortunately. There's also a general store with everything's out might need & grocery store with all food pickin' needs just about 5-10 minutes down the road from the entrance. It's also within walking distance to the beach (that's not pet friendly btw) but pets are welcome within a reasonable driving distance to other parts of the beach.

In June 2019, our family booked High Head cottage near Boothbay…read more We were pleased that it was nice, great views, secluded yet close to our activities. 1.We specifically selected this house because it had 3 full baths to accommodate our group. However, only upon arrival, we were told, the 3rd shower was broken(for the season) so we had to share showers. No compensation has been offered since we did not get what we paid for. Even as a small goodwill gesture. 2. One downstairs bathroom door was clear pane glass with no curtain. The door faced out toward the front porch's bedroom windows. No privacy from the bedroom and especially with the onsite caretaker on the porch. 3. I expect 1-2 extra toilet paper rolls in each bathroom. No, we had to search and finally found only 2 extra rolls in 1 bathroom. On their website, under History, they state "pride in attention to detail" and "no surprises." This is far from the truth from our stay at High Head. High Head has several good points, but just be prepared.
