About this property

Dorsey Cottage - On a quiet cove

Dorsey Cottage is situated on a quiet cove that is just off the popular sailing lanes of Eggemoggin Reach (a mile wide body of water separating Deer Isle from the mainland). This picturesque cove wraps around two sides of the home, and provides for more expanded views northeast looking out across the cove and out to the reach. The home is set back from Reach Road, with a large pasture fronting the home, providing for a fully tranquil setting. Simply furnished, the interior provides for a somewhat modest and relaxed atmosphere. The kitchen, living and dining area are open, light and airy, and all gaze upon the surrounding natural beauty. The home has two bedrooms, one downstairs (queen) and one up (double), each with their own bathrooms. There is also a fold down futon in the living room for added sleeping. An open deck runs along the entire back of the home, and includes patio furniture. Both the living room and downstairs bedroom have sliding glass doors leading out to the deck. There is a covered deck on the front of the home overlooking the pasture. The setting is a kids paradise for exploration, but also a serene backdrop for adults to unwind and relax. Washer, dryer, TV will have a cable or satellite connection, VCR, DVD.

Stellar location - house needs work
Location is fabulous and the house has potential to be charming but issues need to be dealt with: - strong mold/mildew odor in house - moldy and torn curtains in bedroom - windows that have screens need new screens so gnats don't take over - windows that don't have screens need screens so there is airflow in the house - sliding screen door needs new screen (current one is torn and therefore unusable) - provide satellite/cable TV as represented in the listing. Currently only subscription service by the renter is available and if you don't have a subscription service (we did not) then the TV is unusable for standard 'free' channels such as ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS. This needs to be resolved. - home could use refreshed or new linens as the current ones are threadbare. - home needs a thorough cleaning, shows signs of neglect right now.

My husband and I stayed for a week and it was so nice! Beautiful views from just about every room. The place had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We would definitely return.

Great spot
A charming cottage on a tidal cove. Quiet, cozy, and relaxing. A great place to stay and explore Deer Isle, and environs, or just hang out and enjoy the view.

Stunning and cosy on Deer Isle
Lovely location. House has everything you need though could use a plastic wash basin for dishes, grate for fireplace. and some attention to both bathtubs. These are minor. Would be eager to come back, as would my dogs who loved every minute.
