Spruce Head Island Cottage

Lobster girl Arvada, Colorado
Review Submitted: October 27, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Our stay at Spruce Head Island cottage was fabulous. The owners provided everything we needed for a wonderful week in Maine. The house was very well maintained and well stocked with supplies. The barbeque grill and lobster pot were put to good use during our stay. The bed linens and towels were of excellent quality. Having the washing machine and dryer kept us from having to bring so many clothes. There were many magazines and travel brochures suggesting interesting activities and restaurants, many we tried out and were satisfied. The cookbooks provided offered many suggestions for ideas for dinner as well. We wished we could have stayed longer. Not only would we recommend this property to a friend, we will also try to spend more time there in the future!

The Quintessential Mid-Coast Maine Experience

Review Submitted: October 30, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
from the moment lauren, our dog nikki and i crossed over the causeway leading to spruce island, we knew we were about to have a unique vacation experience. the property was lovely, with the house on a wooded knoll overlooking a well maintained backyard, with an inviting deck open to abundant stargazing at night. once we entered Cresthouse we found everything to our liking, a large living/family room with fireplace, a kitchen/dining area with all amenities plus a woodstove, comfortable bedrooms downstairs and well kept bathrooms. Upstairs, although not used by us was equally impressive, quite capable of easily handling all the kids and pets with room to spare. per the owner's recommendations and some friendly neighbors we were able to 'walk to the water' everyday to two outstanding rocky maine beaches. We were fortunate to have clear warm days and could see the outlying islands offshore and the Camden Hills in the distance everyday. Overall, the description of the property is quite accurate and the vacation exceeded our expectations. naturally, you are on an island, away from it all, but close enough to have access to many beautiful towns along the midcoast, allowing you a choice of either enjoying that privacy on spruce island, or having a terrific home base, by which you can explore and appreciate all that the midcoast has to offer. this was our third trip to the area and by far the most enjoyable, of course Cresthouse and Spruce Island played a big part in this vacation's success....and we plan to return in 2009.

Many thanks for the Smiths for thinking of everything~
joe, lauren and nikki

The Perfect Maine Cottage in an Ideal Location!

Karen & John East Sandwich, MA USA
Review Submitted: October 10, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
This was the best cottage rental experience that we have ever had because the thoughtful owners considered every detail for the comfort of their guests.

This spotless cottage is beautifully decorated and maintained, has a wonderfully outfitted kitchen, a fireplace and woodstove, gas grille, washer/dryer and comfortable beds with cozy linens. Oh, and there are so many wonderful books about the region to guide you to explore the beautiful area.

Just a short drive away is the most amazing lobster pound (we know because we ate lobster three of the seven nights we were at the cottage) and the cottage is located in a lovely quiet part of the Maine coast where everyone smiles and waves.

Rockland and Camden are a short drive away with excellent hiking, shopping and dining. Our only regret is that we didn't stay two full weeks.

Thanks Karen and Brian for sharing your piece of Maine Coast heaven with us!"
