Great getaway spot
Loved staying in the cottages. The location is incredibly beautiful and serene. We rented kayaks and went out multiple times per day and even spotted dolphins a couple of times. The cottages are rustic, but had everything we needed. Easy access to groceries, restaurants, etc in Blue Hill and not a far drive to Bar Harbor/Acadia.
A group of us rented this property to stay for a local wedding. The owner, Michael, was very responsive and accommodating and we had a comfortable, enjoyable stay. Highly recommend.
Michael was so helpful with ideas and suggestions on what to see in the area and where to eat, he really made our trip perfect and saved me a ton of research. The cottages were perfect! We had plenty of room for our family of 7. Being right on the water was a huge plus for us. We kayaked right from the front yard and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Acadia National Park was about an hour from the cottages. It was an easy drive and we hit lots of little towns and shops along the way. It's quite busy in Bar Harbor and it was nice to not be staying there with tons of people. I would highly recommend the cottages!
Great Experience of Maine -- Well-Equipped Rustic Cottages
We loved the double cottages for our July vacation with kids and grandkids. They have a traditional rustic style and are well equipped for cookouts on a gas grill as well as campfires looking out over the water. The lawn was spacious for bocce and frisbee and the access to the rocky waterfront was enjoyed by all. We found wonderful hikes nearby and swam in fresh water at Walker Pond. We enjoyed learning the pattern of the tides, and access to the stony beach was great for the kids.
Thoroughly enjoyed our time in the two cabins, sharing one with good friends of ours. Delicious cookouts every evening by the glowing fire pit with amazing Maine skies as a backdrop. The waterfront was a safe and fun place for our ten year old children to explore. Cannot wait to return next summer. Thank you Michael.
We were blown away by the incredible water views just behind the two cottages that make up the listing. The cottages were basic (no TV but we didn't miss it at all) yet quite charming. Everything we wanted/needed was provided. The location was excellent with great local seafood places and grocery nearby. No crowds in Blue Hill like there are in Bar Harbor (about an hour's drive). Lots of hiking options nearby. We'll be back!

The owner had a series of unfortunate events on the property during our stay. He responded to my emails in a timely fashion and did his best to correct the problems. He provided fair compensation for the the issues we encountered.

Wonderful Maine oceanfront vacation home
We visited the Blue Hill area to attend a local high school graduation and spend time with military friends in the area. Other than the graduation we did not have an agenda. We spent one day visiting nearby Acadia National Park and it's amazing views. The other days we spent at the cabins! The view of the ocean is the perfect backdrop to sit on the deck and read a book or watch for local wildlife. We spent lots of time combing the shore during low tide for shells, sea glass, and sea "creatures" as the kids would say. At night the view of the stars was the best I've ever seen. Tried some local delicious lobster cooked in the lobster pot over the fire. It had everything to escape the hustle and bustle of evryday life. A wonderful family vacation surrounded by all that Maine nature has to offer. The owners always answered any questions I had prior to arrival in a timely manner. They were also very helpful with suggestions of nearby attraction/facilities while staying at their amazing property. Was a great experience all around. Hope to return again in the future
I'm almost reluctant to write a review, as this property is a secret gem and we'd like to keep it that way! But, in the spirit of sharing... Our family of four (with two young boys) and another couple, after meeting Maine's reasonably rigorous testing requirements, shared a wonderful seven days at these Blue Hill cottages. Right off, it must be noted that being able to rent two cottages, for a single price, on a large and secluded property with 200' of private beachfront, is itself a singular opportunity. Our children loved beach-combing and kayaking (boats are available for delivery from a nearby livery) and nightly fires in the outdoor pit. The view of the bay and Long Island is lovely, the water pristine. The cabins themselves are exactly as described: rustic, on the small side, and unadorned, but exceptionally clean, cozy, and well stocked. We had everything we needed for lobster feasts, grilling, and big breakfasts. The beds are comfortable and there's plenty of clever storage. Absolutely essential was the excellent wifi, which worked seamlessly for those of us who needed to put in some work hours via web conference. The location, between the charming towns of Blue Hill and Brooklin, and only about 30 mins to Acadia, allowed us to fill our days with both planed adventures and spur-of-the-moment excursions. Our kids loved seeing porpoises, seals, and even a porcupine! Last, but not least, communicating with the owner and property manager was a stress free (even fun) experience. Michael was very generous with his local knowledge and made sure everything was acceptable throughout our stay. We look forward to visiting again.
Having access to both cabins as part of the booking makes for a really special experience, especially for when it’s multiple members of an extended family staying there (as was our case). There was some outdated info on the vrbo listing, such as the wifi and the contact info, so one day when we weren’t sure if we’d turned the coffee pot off it was difficult to figure out who to contact - though this was mostly our fault for not writing down the phone number posted inside the cabin itself. (And we ended up driving back to check the coffee pot.) The cabins were definitely on the rustic side, but everything was pretty much as expected.
Overall a fun stay! Beautiful view, great cabins, perfect summer vibes. Just don’t forget bug spray!
Our stay was fantastic. The property was as listed, great views, charming cottages and an excellent host. I had reservations about booking thru an app like VRBO, as I have always booked through an agency but after this trip I feel confident in doing so. Michael, your place is a slice of heaven, we enjoyed our time immensely. If you ever want to sell, I'd be willing to listen😊
We loved our stay in Blue Hill! The views of the water were outstanding! It was an easy day trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia. The cottages had everything we needed for a relaxing week to reconnect as a family. We traveled with two teens, a ten year old and two dogs. This two cottage property was prefect for us. We all loved their Maine vacation. We already can’t wait to go back.
Cabins are rustic but fully stocked and functional. Pretty setting. Easy working with property manager. Location is quiet and remote, but easy drive to Blue Hill for meals, etc.
This place was perfect for our group of 2 small families with little kids. The cabins were definitely rustic but we settled in to that and were very comfortable for our week. The location is incredible being right on the water. We found starfish! We ate extremely well in the area and discovered tons of cute places to go. Thanks to Michael for this wonderful spot!

The perfect place to stay in Maine!
Our visit was the last week of September/first week of October – pretty much the end of the season! This was a great home-base for us as we explored the mid-coast during the day, and then came home and relaxed in the evening. Our one-year-old dog loved the grounds and was able to run off a lot of her puppy energy in the yard, without us having to worry about traffic or neighbors. Even though the cabins are not insulated, we were plenty comfortable with the space heaters and electric blankets (all provided)! Great location! Comfortable space! “Extremely” attentive hosts! We highly recommend this place for your next stay in Maine!

Perfect cozy weekend getaway
View from porch was breathtaking. The house was very well equipped and organized and was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. We appreciated the backyard set up with the outdoor fire pit as well as all the cooking tools. Michael was extremely responsive and helpful.

Beautiful, quiet location for families
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at these two cozy, rustic (but well equipped) cabins on the water. They are great for close families. We enjoyed fishing, cooking over the campfire, eating at the picnic tables, kayaking, and beachcombing at low tide. We saw porpoises, a bald eagle, a deer, a turkey and her chicks, and loons. We hope to return before too long!

Lovely cottage setting on Blue Hill Bay
This worked out very nicely for us, especially with the separate cottages for our family. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed being on the water.
Hope to stay again!
