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]

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!

Perfect Place for Family for Thanksgiving Together

Submitted: March 8, 2012 Stayed: November 2011
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.

Your Friendly Hospitality

Submitted: March 8, 2012 Stayed: September 2011
David and Paula,
Our stay here at the Garden Cottage was exactly what we hoped it would be. We thought the cottage was very comfortable and homey. The town of Camden was so quaint and pretty. We filled up our days sightseeing from Bar harbor to Boothbay Harbor and all stops in between. You have made our stay more than other homes we've rented at other locations by your very friendly hospitality. Thank you for all the tips on the local coastal areas. All the recommendations turned out great!

Restful Days

Submitted: March 8, 2012 Stayed: July 2011
Dear Paula and Dave,
Many thanks for the restful days in "our" cottage--it's just what the doctor ordered! We have enjoyed our stay and plan to return in the Autumn...not sure just which one...but hopefully sooner than later. We've enjoyed your garden as well--cricket and all. Many thanks-fondly,

Garden Cottage

Submitted: October 14, 2011 Stayed: October 2011
The cottage is cozy and homey and has everything you need for every day life.
Being in Camden makes it convenient to all the wonderful attractions up & down
the rocky coast. It is quiet and peaceful and the gardens were lovely inspite of
the time of year and the cold rain we had. If you're a walker - everything in Camden is either up hill or down, great exercise. Lots of nice places to eat & shop. Go to Acadia NP via route 1 and be sure to stop at the Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observation Tower - amazing view on a clear day. You really can see "forward".

Beautiful and Peaceful. Best Location.

Submitted: July 3, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
Thank you for opening your "garden cottage" to us. The pictures online don't do it justice; it is so beautiful and peaceful. This was the perfect place for us since we went on many day trips. From Acadia to Old Orchard Beach, we were only a hop, skip, and a jump from everything. You really are in the best location.
I can't wait to plant the seeds you gave me and I'll be sure to send pictures when they bloom. My parents are also excited to locate and plant some of the same plants you have. Your gardens are so colorful and inviting. I hope I can grow some flowers as beautiful as yours.
Thank you again for everything. Your recommendations were great, and we hope to be able to return in a year! Take care, and David, keep up the wonderful job oil painting!
