Photos and Description of the Friendship vacation studio rental

'The Studio' is a large room attached to our home, Old Comfortable. It is a private place approached by its own stairway. It has its own key so it can be locked. It offers an L-shaped space, which includes a sitting area with a view of the ocean, cable TV, a queen-size bed and an eating area. The eating area includes an under-the-counter refrigerator. It is outfitted with dishes and linens. There is no stove or kitchen sink. The bathroom is generous in size with a fiberglass shower. This space is best suited for someone looking for accommodations with more personality than a motel room but short of a full-size house. In the summer a local fish store will steam lobsters for you, which you can bring back to eat in the studio or you can use the outdoor charcoal grill. We used this space while our year-round house was being constructed. It is suitable for one or two people. There is a public beach within walking distance and a public landing for launching a boat/kayak nearby.

Kayaks may be rented in Friendship village just five minutes away. Following a day of being on the salt water, arrangements can be made to wash off your equipment. If your group has more than two people, please inquire about our Guest House across the street.

Old Comfortable Redux

5 of 5
Submitted: August 17, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
As is always the case, our pleasant, peaceful memories of Old Comfortable and the Martin Point/Hatchett Cove environs remain with us like a favorite film playing back frame by frame in the mind's eye. Bill and Lynn are thoughtful, generous whirling dervishes, who are very amenable to any request that would lend to the further enjoyment and enhancement of your stay. The Siren's Song (if only the ancient mariners had GPS) keeps beckoning us to mid-coast Maine and Old Comfortable where one truly enters a destination right out of the pages of "The Country of the Pointed Firs."
Owner's Response: We feel blessed to have found Friendship and love sharing our piece of Heaven with folks who also appreciate what God has created.

The location was even more amazing than we expected. The owners are great people and very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing. The Studio was very cozy and relaxing. We enjoyed sitting by the water and letting life go by. I would give it Five Stars.

We felt like pampered guests

My husband and I stayed the weekend of Friendship Day and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The studio was perfect for our needs, with lovely views of Hatchet Cove, comfy chairs in the living area, and a bed in which we slept like babies, lulled to sleep by the clean air and sea sounds. Lynn and Bill were gracious hosts who extended themselves to help us get the most from our once-in-a-lifetime trip to Friendship. Everyone in town was so nice. Friendship is a very special place and Hatchet Cove a calming refuge from big-city hustle. Be sure to stop in at Wallace's Market and, of course, the harbor.
Owner's Response: We enjoyed having folks from the other coast visit with us. The Studio at Old Comfortable is just that, big enough to suit your needs and small enough to be cozy. Wallace's Market does a fine job catering to your meal needs if you don't want to drive a distance for a fancy restaurant.

10th Anniversary

Submitted: August 1, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We had a wonderful time here peaceful and quiet. Just a short drive to many activities, but away from the crowds. Loved sitting by the water having dinner and watching the tide go in and out. It was great for my wife and I to get away and relax and enjoy nature and each other. I would highly recommend staying here!!!

Comfy accommodations in a perfect setting

5 of 5
Submitted: July 24, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We stayed a week in July while one of us attended a nearby photo workshop. What a special spot - loved the “Crow’s Nest” deck overlooking the water, the well-tended gardens, the sea breezes at night, the lobster rolls from the nearby market – but especially the warmth and hospitality of the owners, Lynn and Bill. They have thoughtfully provided everything you could need for an extended stay in the studio apartment. Extra benefits: a public beach and wooded paths within walking distance. We found it to be a great spot for exploring the popular (and more crowded) mid-coast towns; it was so nice to come back to the peace and quiet of Martin’s Point at the end of the day. Also, it’s a great location for photography, as Lynn’s own beautiful photo books can attest to.
Owner's Response: It is always fun to meet new people, share our little piece of God's Country with them, and be able to share experiences in beautiful Maine, especially if photography is involved.
