11 Reviews of Property 169272 in Belfast, Maine

Homesick for Belfast! – that’s us. We just returned from a 2 month stay in this lovely cottage and can’t wait to return!

This precious cottage is comfortable and the owners and local representatives are extra extra special. Any question or need is quickly addressed including directions to the best Lobster Pound - Young's - in mid-coast Maine! AND it is WALKING distance from the Cottage.

Neat as a pin, well maintained and beautifully decorated by a well-known local designer, everything one could want to make a pleasant vacation is here. The kitchen is very well equipped so we were able to take advantage of the best of the local produce and seafood. The dining room is surrounded by windows looking across the deck toward the harbor and town. Beautiful.

The entertainment center (TV, DVD collection, etc) are great and the seating is comfy and well suited for the space.

The wrap-around & upstairs deck give a peaceful and beautiful view of town & harbor activity. The footbridge at the end of the street goes right over to Belfast so it is easy to explore the town on foot. We hardly used the car at all, certainly not around town – just stowed it in the garage most of the time.

There is a farmers’ co-op store in town where you can buy spices, honey, maple syrup, etc by bulk – as little or as much as you need. Also fresh dairy & eggs. The store is great. There is a good restaurant on the property and quite a few locals are there for coffee in the mornings.

The outdoors Farmers’ Market starts the first of May and is fun. Good fresh food locally grown.

There is another store in town – Chase’s Daily that also supplies seasonal fresh produce from local farms. Chase’s Daily also has very good baked goods and meals. Darby’s Restaurant is yummy, and we really couldn’t decide on our favorite places to eat in town between these and others we visited.

In June the boaters start community sails and rowing outings on the harbor. There are other harbor boat tours and more great things to do near-by Belfast. We found a good Mexican food place just down the road & in another direction a definite go-to barbeque joint. Lots of good exploring to do from the vantage point of this mid-coast location.

And there seems to be something happening all the time in Belfast. We are truly homesick for this place and the lovely cottage there. The photos of the cottage here are great, but being there is best, of course!

We’re booked for next year! Can’t wait.
