Beautiful Home on Bay

Fairfielders Fairfield, CT
Review Submitted: August 22, 2007 Date of Stay: August 2007
Excellent home with wonderful location approx half hour to Bar Harbor; 15 min to Ellsworth; Blue Hill peninsula nearby. All owner info as stated and home was in perfect condition. View from deck is great! Our college aged children enjoyed the pool table downstairs, too. Take the Cat to Nova Scotia for the day; it's a nice treat.

Total Relaxation

Review Submitted: September 27, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We just returned from our 2nd visit to Cat's Cradle and as usual Lisa and Andy made sure all the basics and the little luxuries were completely taken care of. We chose to return for our 31st Anniversary and had the most relaxing trip ever. We can't wait to book another visit as soon as our schedule will allow. Thanks again Lisa and Andy...you guys are the best!
Owner's Response: We are so glad you returned to the Cat's Cradle this year for your vacation, and we're thrilled that you had such a restful time. We try to make our cottage as comfortable as possible because we truly want people to enjoy their vacations. Thank you for staying at our cottage and for posting a review. We would love to have you come back again. Lisa & Andy

You'll fall in love with Maine...

JACVS Millville, NJ
Review Submitted: January 19, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
My family and I loved this home and vacation. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bedrooms were big, and the beds were super-comfortable. The livingroom was also big and comfortable, and the bathrooms were very clean. It was lovely to sit at the kitchen table and be able to look out over the water. Also, waking up and having breakfast on the deck, soaking up the sunshine and watching the tide go in or out-that was great. This house was immaculate. The yard is big. My 2 year old son had fun running around it. Our nightly ritual was playing pool in the basement. The jacuzzi was a definite bonus. The home was in a great location for us. We visited Acadia and Bar Harbor a few times. On the way home from Bar Harbor we picked up seafood from Lunts Lobster Pound, which was very tasty! We also took a day trip to Canada and visited Bangor among other local places in the area. The property seems to be secluded, away from it all. Yet, jump in the car and a few miles down the road you've got a couple of grocery stores, I believe there is a McDonald's, Friendly's and a Wal-Mart, just to name a few. I highly recommend this property. The owners really did think of everything. Everything I seemed to have needed could be found in the house. All you need to bring is your clothes and a few groceries and you're good for the week. Anyone that wants a quiet, private spot to spend time with family or friends, this is your home. I honestly did not want to leave. I definitely want to stay here again. Next time I'll bring a canoe or kayak. I really wish I had one while I was there.

wonderful place to stay

Review Submitted: October 23, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
We had the pleasure of staying at the "cats cradle"for a week in oct.of 2008. The property is every bit as nice as the owners say. It was squeeky clean and very inviting. Everything you would need to feel at home was here,good knives in the kitchen,nice cookware,good plates and silverware,the appliances are new and very nice. The beds were wonderful as was the great view of the bay from the deck and dining room. It was so cool to use the binoculors and watch the lobstermen work in the bay. the property is close to Ellworth but feels like your deep in the woods. You wont go wrong with this one!

Peace and Harmony on the Bay

Sharon, Rich & Jake Norristown Pa
Review Submitted: July 31, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
The owners of this property have made every attempt to make this a perfect vacation property. The veiw of the bay from every room in the house is a constant pleasure. There are loons and seals that can be seen in the bay from the deck and we recommend bringing a canoe or kayak or renting one to venture out in the bay to view closer. The kitchen is completely stocked with everything you could possibly need if cooking on vacation is your thing. The pool table in the basement was a popular spot for our guys and plenty of games, full cable tv and movies help make rainy days and evening a good time. The beds are the most comfortable we have ever experience in a vacation home and the the bedrooms are large. The owners have supplied beautiful lotions, soaps, linens and plenty of towels as well as teas, coffees and spices, which made our packing for our trip a breeze.
We made the 35 minute drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia everyday for outdoor adventures and shopping. There is a beach at Lamoine State Park and Point that is lovely and about a 15 to 20 minute drive.
Whether the days are cloudy and rainy or sunny and bright you will find this home a wonderful vacation home. We would return.
