Guest Book Comments: 'Thanks for all the little extras that made daily living easy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Your beautiful garden was a special treat. Our girls really enjoyed your selection of Maine childrens' books.' [MD] ~~~ 'From the moment we entered the door of your lovely Garden Cottage, we knew we had made the right choice. We enjoyed every moment here, because there were books, puzzles, and games for the few rainy days and your lovely garden and deck for sunny days. The fresh clean rooms and appliances, cook wear, and dishes met our every need (even used the cookbooks), and the egg-beater gook us back to our childhood. We enjoyed the decor: the ships models, carvings, and paintings. Ideal location for walking, touring, and shopping. We love the harbor, the library, and most of all the beautiful blue sky and your friendly hospitality. Thanks heaps!' [VA]

[W VA] ~~~ 'Thanks for a great summer! We love your place!' [ME] ~~~ 'Thanks for such a great summer home for our family.' [ME] ~~~ 'This is a wonderful location to stay and explore Camden and the surrounding areas from. The cottage is beautiful, well maintained, and great for families and children. It's easy to see that you want visitors to have an enjoyable, memorable stay, and we certainly did!' [MA] ~~~ 'Thanks for all the little extras that made daily living easy.

Garden Cottage more that met our expectations

5 of 5
Submitted: June 19, 2012 Stayed: September 2011
This was our first trip to the New England area and the Garden Cottage provided the perfect setting. Everything met our expectations and beyond. The pictures do not due it justice. What can we say; peaceful, relaxing, beautiful, and very clean. It was a great place to stay to be close to Highway 1, the ocean, and the charming village of Camden. It was a "post card" vacation. You will certainly not go wrong in choosing this home for your vacation. The owner was so helpful by providing directions and highlights of the area. Even recommended restaurants that were great! Overall a wonderful experience for us and my parents. Great place to make memories! We did a lot of sightseeing - Acadia National Park, Boothbay Harbor, Coastal Botanical Gardens, toured historic homes in Wiscasset, and took a boat ride out from Camden. Only a mile walk to Camden harbor area, We'd hope to come back!
Owner's Response: Thank you, Bev. Perhaps we'll see you again sometime. So glad your stay was so satisfying!

Just Perfect

Submitted: April 26, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
Thank you for the use of your clean, comfortable, cozy cottage and lovely garden. It was so quiet, and we enjoyed ourselves every day doing different and fun things nearby. Our stay was just perfect. Denise.
Denise said it right. I don't have much to add. Garden-wise, your purple azelias came out real bright after the 2-day Northeaster. It is great to see you like Patric O'Brien sea stories. I read your copy of "The Golden Ocean" during the storm. Frank

Fantastic Stay for National Toboggan Championships

Submitted: March 8, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
We had a fantastic stay at your cottage during the 2012 National Toboggan Championships. 9.47 first run, and hoping to be on the podium today. Your cottage was toasty and the perfect place to come home to after standing on the ice all day. We just returned to pack up. We finished as the highest seeded rookies, finishing in the top 40 out of 208 sleds. Your accommodations were great!

We had such a great time in Camden! The Garden Cottage was a perfect place for our family to spend Thanksgiving together. We had such a great time exploring your beautiful coast. Everything was perfect in the cottage -- turkey to lobster, we had everything we needed [to cook]! Hope your holidays are wonderful.

Always a Pleasure

Submitted: March 8, 2012 Stayed: October 2011
We enjoyed our stay here; cozy & comfortable. It is always a pleasure to come to Maine--the weather wasn't as cooperative as previous years -- but we still got to all our favorite places and found some new ones, too.
