We LOVED this cottage! We travel extensively in/out of country and rent houses whereever we go. This cottage and the gardens have been lovingly restored by gracious owners and the view from inside and on the decks is serene and quintessential Maine, just like you've dreamed of! The pictures ARE accurate as is the house and area descriptions. It really is a peaceful lane with owners walking their dogs, bikeriders and neighbors calling out a "good morning" and waving! The owners are GREAT and very interesting as are the neighbors, they will answer any questions you might have! The home is very comfy with well-supplied kitchen, nice livingroom furniture and firm beds and excellent outside furniture! The only thing missing is a radio/CD (if you like music). The lobster is reasonable and very easy to get to either by walking to the lobster pound, going to the docks or right at the nearby grocery, "Seastore" .There is a wonderful, packed bookstore a few minutes walk over the bridge where we bought Maine cookbooks for very cheap $. They are a nice memento! We enjoyed an Irish nite out at Billy's tavern in Thomaston (10 mins. away) and had good food and fun, Thomaston Cafe is good for breakfast and lunch, Takeaway food from Deb's Diner was THE best Haddock and chips, Moody's Diner for 4 berry pie, so delicious, there is an excellent bakery across from Moody's on Rt.1 for fresh baked breads,etc. and try to get to Morse Sauerkraut Specialty Store (North Waldoboro) for all kinds of meats, pickles, cheeses,candies,pastries and much more! We also enjoyed the Anchor restaurant,on the water, near Friendship. We bought lots of lively fresh Lobsta,mussels,shrimp, crabmeat and scallops from Creamers (near Waldoboro on Rt.1) and on SpruceHead, to cook back at our lovely Maine cottage because we couldn't get enough of the view! We also LOVE the excellent drives in/out of coves and antiquing. Their is sooo much to do here or nothing....... but gaze at the view, if you prefer! There are nice beaches nearby, lighthouses and state parks. Great to have washer?dryer! Don't miss this cottage! We will be back to Mid-Coast as soon as we can! Thanks John & Kate
