Perfect small cottage with all the comforts of home. Quiet, peaceful setting with nice porch overlooking pond and nature. Host was exceptional and very attentive. Very reasonably priced. Looking forward to go back next year.
I had very high expectations for this stay and they were all exceeds. Lovely place. Beautifully decorated. Beautiful view of the lake and meadow from the porch. I highly recommend!
Pamela and her family are just wonderful, and their cabins 100% reflect that! Pamela checked in on us and was so very helpful. She was quick to assist with anything we needed. The cabin was amazing and had anything we could have needed. Thank you, Pamela and family, for a wonderful week during a really stressful time.
Beautiful, snug little cabin in a great location!it’s tiny but fits almost everything you need, and has ingenious devices like an induction cooktop and a smart tv. A little too snug for four adults though — and the kitchen wasnt really for cooking. Luckily Muscongus Lobster Pound is 5 min away!
We spent 6 happy days in this lovely little hideaway. The cabin was immaculate, very well-equipped, comfortable and cozy. Unfortunately, we did not have an opportunity to meet the owners during our stay; however, the TLC they have poured into this place is evident. The property and pond are smaller than expected, but it’s such a peaceful and relaxing setting. We will definitely stay there again when we return to that area of Maine.
We had a lovely stay at The Heron Cove cabin… beautiful and peaceful view. Nice amenities and Pamela was very responsive to our few questions.
We had our two pups with us and the trail around their pond was a great loop to walk.
We did have to use extra caution with our 4.5 year old on the steep stairs to the loft, but she quickly got used to them and had fun up there with her kiddo activities.
Thanks again for a great stay, Pamela and Family!
This rental was just great. Located in such a peaceful setting, with a private deck was just amazing. Well built and appointed, with pretty much anything you might need. The inside was very clean, and accurate to the photos taken. We met Joe & Pam, and had a nice conversation with them, getting some recommendations. I have no hesitations in giving an excellent rating 😀
Everything was perfect. It was quiet. It was close to everything we were doing on Pemaquid Peninsula. < 5 minutes to coffee shop, ice cream, and lobster in Round Pond. 13 minutes to the beach. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning. Mosquitoes unfortunately came out at night. We didn’t use the grill or hot plate for cooking as we were out and about. Really nice place, great host!
Four generations of our family enjoyed the three cabins as we celebrated a wedding weekend at nearby Pemaquid Point. Cabins were well stocked and very clean, despite being fully dog friendly. Our two dogs enjoyed the quieter weekend of resting in the cabin while we traveled to-and-fro for various wedding activities. The grounds at the cabins are perfect for extended families. We wished we had more time to enjoy the large firepit area and the corn hole boards. There are two picnic tables on the grounds that are not shown in the listing, and we enjoyed a family breakfast there. Beds in the cabins were super comfortable, and our hosts were very responsive to all our calls and messages. I can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for a place to stay in this gorgeous area.
The cottage was clean, organized and very comfortable. We have been visiting the Pemaquid/Boothbay area for years and this was one of the best places that we’ve stayed. Pamela was a great host, we will definitely be back in the future!
We feel so lucky to have found this cottage in such a beautiful location. It is just like the pictures.
So clean and well appointed and the owners were very accommodating.
Thanks for sharing! Would definitely stay here again

A charming cabin in the woods near the Maine coast
On recommendation of friends living in the area, we rented one of three new cabins offered by this host. The cabin was spotless, had excellent beds, and was well-appointed for visitors interested in cooking. The cabin was easy to find with the detailed guidance provided by the hosts. The hosts were very pleasant and responsive.
Great experience from start to finish. The cabin was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Our family of 5 cooked, lounged and played games very comfortably. We enjoyed exploring the pond and property. The owner offered great suggestions to enjoy nature, beautiful views, and delicious food. We look forward to another stay!
Woodsy MidCoast getaway for kayaking & hiking & puffins
Beautiful cabins in Bristol personalized by Pamela & Joe. Cabins were very spacious with thoughtful touches & a private porch overlooking a small pond. Comfy living room & beds, full kitchen (BYO cooking oils/ herbs). Check in & communication was easy, they were very flexible & gracious hosts- even helped us with kayaking. Bristol is small but beautiful with so many delicious food stops, trails, swimming spots. Next main town for late night eats, pharmacy is an easy 20mins away.
This was a wonderful place to stay - the peaceful surroundings, the beautiful cabin with a number of thoughtful amenities, and great communication with the host. It doesn't get much better than morning coffee with the windows open listening to the birds and frogs sing. There's some great hiking nearby and some good places to eat within a 5-15 minute drive. Highly recommend...and I hope to return!
The cottage was very adorably decorated and in a great location for exploring the area. Post this hurry, dating and available. We were three adults and a dog, so the space was a bit crowded for us. I would caution chefs about doing a lot of cooking, as there’s a two burner induction cooktop that lives in a closet and very little counter space. I’d stay there again, but not haul so much food to cook with me.
These lovely new cabins are located in a private but easily accessible area. If you happen to be a birder, you will find this property especially appealing. I was there during fall migration and picked up many species during my morning walks with my dog. The property is very welcoming to dogs, and having a porch that was accessible from inside but not the outside gave us a spot where she could be outside and safe while I was doing things like cooking or making the bed. The hosts are wonderful, and go out of their way to solve any problems and make you feel welcome. All of midcoast Maine is easily accessible from here, making a variety of day trips available. But you can also easily spend a day just relaxing right at the cabin. This was a wonderful experience!
We had a wonderful time. We rented three cabins for and it was a perfect spot from which to explore the peninsula. Such great hosts too. It was an amazing time.
