About this property

Mill Dam Cottage - a beauty on the York River

Sitting on the spacious porch, enjoying the view on the passing Lobster Boats, cooling of while kayaking on the York River or swimming in your own private pool - that's what you experience while staying at Mill Dam Cottage. Just a 15 minutes walk - crossing the famous Wiggly Bridge - to the York Harbor beach, there is more than enough to experience.

The best of Maine

Beautiful, perfectly maintained and comfortable property; just as represented on the VRBO site. Wonderful communications with owner and caretaker although these were courtesies as there were no issues with anything. As our visiting friends and family observed, it is hard to imagine what could improve upon our stay. Highly recommend; a very unique and wonderful property!

Everything was perfect!

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe our time at Mill Dam Cottage. We were in York, ME, for our daughter's wedding and wanted a place as a home base that would be comfortable, easily accommodate our family, and have space to enjoy drop in guests. The Cottage exceeded our expectations and admirably served as our home away from home. Our hosts made us feel welcome from our first exchange as they entrusted us with their beautiful traditional Maine home. Personal touches throughout only reinforced that feeling as we discovered inviting and warmly decorated spaces. The highlight for us was the back porch. Our memories of the week will forever include morning coffee overlooking the York River at sunrise with its parade of water birds looking for their morning meal – including a bald eagle; and of hearty laughter from family and friends getting reacquainted after too much time apart. On a more practical note, the amenities were exactly as described – plenty of space both inside and out, abundant parking, easy to access, and a beautiful and reinvigorating setting with tall trees and an expansive lawn all sitting on the river. And the heated pool and pool house are fabulous. Everything was in perfect order and thoroughly cleaned. The location was convenient for our needs with easy access to Kittery and Portsmouth to the south. Abundant amenities are nearby including a food market, delis, and breakfast places. Our host was consistently generous and accommodating with a bottle of champagne to celebrate the occasion. We cannot recommend our hosts and their home more highly! Mill Dam Cottage made our special week celebrating our daughter’s wedding all the better. We are sure that it and our hosts will be part of our fondest memories for many, many years to come.

About the host

Hosted by Axel von Wiedersperg

We are a German family of 6 who have lived in the US, love the people, the country and especially Maine. We use Mill Dam Cottage as our family summer retreat and rent it out since the very beginning - but this year the first time with VRBO.
Mill Dam Cottage and the York River is a miraculous place. Once you have been there, you will never forget it.
