Photos and Description of the Friendship vacation cottage rental
2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 4

This airy and open 1940's cottage sits on 200 ft. of spectacular rocky coastline. The kitchen is separated from the living and dining areas by a large fieldstone fireplace. Two sets of sliding glass doors open onto the deck, where you can breakfast watching one of the busiest lobstering areas on the coast, and enjoy evening sunsets over Muscongus Bay. One bedroom has a double bed, and the second has twin beds. The modern bathroom has a full shower/bath. Pets are negotiable and we limit the number each season; cats are not allowed.

The house is a five minute walk to a sandy beach, which is shallow enough that the water warms nicely for swimming, a rarity along this coast. Hardy swimmers can dive from our rocks (as our dog does!). There is good walking, biking and kayaking in the Martin Point and Friendship area, and you can rent kayaks in Friendship. Walk out the door to paths through the woods in the center of Martin Point, or use the available trail maps and book to explore many hikes in the Medomak Land Trust area and surrounding peninsulas. This cottage is a quiet retreat, but lobsters are five minutes away, restaurants are 20, and Camden/Rockport area attractions are a 30 minute drive.

Other Activities: kayaking

Lobster Boats and Sunsets

5 of 5
Submitted: October 23, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
My wife and I have stayed at Westview two years in a row now in the month of October and we just love the place! It is perfect for one or two couples. We love the sights and sounds of lobster boats early in the morning, and the spectacular sunsets over the Medomak River. It is very cozy without being cramped, and is very private. The cottage is well-equipped with every cooking tool we could imagine, including a lobster pot. The beds are comfortable and all linens are supplied. The stone fireplace is absolutely beautiful and very welcome on fall evenings coupled with a glass of wine, a good book, and good company. Being located a pleasant 20 minute drive from Rockland, it does not take long to find the Farnsworth Museum of Art (Wyeth family paintings), the Owls Head Transportation Museum, galleries, great shops and cafes. Camden is only another ten minutes farther up Rt 1 and Mount Battie just beyond is a must see for spectacular views. The Sweetgrass Farm Winery and Morse's Restaurant are culinary treats north of Waldoboro. Pat maintains an information binder with plenty of suggestions for things to see and do. Walking a trail of the Medomak Valley Land Trust is essential, particularly the Clarry Hill trail through the blueberry fields, which has become our favorite. And of course, the lobster is fresh as fresh can be. It's very easy to wind down here, enjoying life as it was meant to be. Pat is always very accommodating and helpful making the rental process very seamless. I'd rate Westview as one of the best cottages we've ever rented, and we rent at least two or three each year.

Perfect Cottage;Perfect Setting

Westview is the perfect Maine cottage in the perfect setting. Why the perfect cottage? It achieves a balance of comfort, authenticity, and charm. Some Maine rentals are too rustic, or too suburban, or too fancy -- Westview feels like it belongs in its setting. And what a setting -- the bay, lobster boats, osprey, sunsets and dawns that take your breath away, Every room has a view, and the deck is wonderful. On the practical side: it is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is stocked with all the necessary tools for cooking. The town of Friendship is away from the tourist fray but within an easy drive of restaurants and attractions is you want to venture out. The owner is helpful and caring. I felt lucky to have spent 2 weeks there.

Peaceful !

My husband and I really enjoyed our time at your cottage by the bay. It was comfortable and well stocked, dishes, linens, etc. The bird watching was awesome, especially the osprey diving for fish. Waking to the hum of the lobster boats and watching them thru out the day and walking to the local beach were our main entertainment. So much better than television. The location on the water, the quiet ( no traffic noise) and the beautiful sunsets definitely make it a wonderful get away. Thank you , Pat, the customer service was great ! I would definitly recommend to others.

This was our second trip to Westview. Our first trip we brought another couple with us. This time it was a relaxing week for just the two of us.
If you are looking for a place away from the tourist, a deck you can sit on any time of the day and watch the lobster boats harvesting their catch, and seeing one of the most beautiful sunsets at the end of the day. Or falling asleep at night listening to the soft sounds of the waves rolling up on the rocks as the tide comes in then Westview might be just what your looking for.
