A wonderful place to be

Review Submitted: February 19, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2009
We stayed six weeks in this lovely, wonderful cottage, that has everything you need. Taking a -time out- and looking for a quiet place with a one million dollar view, we found this place. The wonderful garden with vegetables and flowers was lovely planted and we cooked everyday our meals with fresh vegetables from the garden.
The cottage was very clean, and well-equipped. There are so many wonderful places around South Addison its a pleasure to explore and find them.
To get there, Brenda takes care of everything.
If you look for a quiet and gorgeous place: this is it!

Owner's Response: "We were so pleased that Esther and Manuela enjoyed their stay. We have produced an hour long DVD which we provide visitors before they arrive (there's also a copy in the cottage) to help them find local sites of interest and it seems as though this was a help to them - especially arriving from another country. It's also a place where visitors easily may discover their own favorite places. This spot is very special to us (I spent summers here as a kid and bought the cottage in 1986 while living in London and working as a film maker) and so we try to make it as welcoming and accommodating as possible, so that our guests will enjoy it as much as we do. We have had many visitors from Europe - Sweden, England, France and now Switzerland, and it is always fun to hear about their experiences. "

Great time downeast...

Review Submitted: November 2, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010
My husband and I took a "mini" vacation in October and chose Maine as a destination we had never visited. We were afraid we were going to miss the Fall color, but the scenery was absolutely beautiful. We explored the coast during the day, and retired to this wonderful little cottage in the evening where we were able to relax in front of the cozy pellet stove. The cottage is homey and well-equipped, the view is amazing. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets over the bay; the peace and quiet of the area, the authentic feel of the neighborhood. I would love to visit again and experience Maine during a different season.

Review Submitted: July 21, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
Our stay at Brenda's was excellent. The area, South Addison, was very private and the few people we did see were friendly. The house itself was a good size for the two of us, and everything was clean and in good working order. We spent most of our time in the back room, which had high ceilings and huge windows facing the water. There was also a computer which was helpful in planning our day trips. Brenda was extremely responsive to any questions we had about local activities, and she found answers when she didn't know them off-hand. She directed us to bike rentals in Machias, and a beautiful old converted railway trail nearby. Also, we found a small restaurant in Jonesport, Tall Barney's, with a pleasant owner and delicious homemade food. I would absolutely recommend this property to a friend, or rent again if we get the time off in the future.

A very lovely place

Review Submitted: February 22, 2010 Date of Stay: May 2009
We spent a week in this cozy little cottage and enjoyed every minute of it. It is very well equipped and the owners have made it very welcoming. The view from the bow window in the living room is beautiful and we much enjoyed our breakfasts in the garden (although May still seems to be the very beginning of spring here). We much recommend it to anybody looking for a quiet but very comfortable getaway.

Clean, Cozy and Quiet

Review Submitted: February 3, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2008
We had a great stay. We got lobsters from wharf and cooked them at the cottage. They were the best. Burnie's beach is beautiful. McClellan Park is lovely for a picnic. The ride with Captain Paul is a must. Watch out for the slippery rocks at low tide in front of the cottage. When making coffee, close the filter carrier tight. Can't wait to get back.
Thanks Alan and Brenda. Sorry we stole your tablespoon measure.
