6 Reviews of Property 987387 in Milbridge, Maine

Very nice owners and really clean comfortable house. Highly recommend it.

We would give Jim and Sue's cottage 10 stars if we could! The descriptions and pictures pale in comparison to the actual cottage and location. We (2 adults and 4 kids) found the cottage to be everything we hoped for in a Maine vacation. Well decorated, clean, fully stocked with necessities, and small enough to be cozy yet big enough to give us all space. We enjoyed several days of just exploring the beaches and rocks on the property. The tidal changes were amazing. Morning coffee on the edge of the water was picture perfect for us. Jim and Sue are fabulous hosts and Jim's recommendations were spot on for great days - the beach at Petit Menan as well as his secluded beach across the road - take time for both of these. Our kids fell in love with the ocean. The boat ride to see the light houses, wildlife, and lobster traps was also a highlight. Good location for day trips to Bar Harbor, Machias, and Cherryfield. Milbridge is a very friendly, quiet village with everything you need right there. Lobsters are available at several places on the way to Petit Menan - and they were superb! Perfect for a family get away or a romantic retreat - this cottage cannot be beat! Thanks Jim and Sue!

Who knew paradise was only 60 miles from home?! My husband, myself and a very spoiled dog spent a week in Milbridge during the first week of September 2010. The cottage was charming and very comfortable with every amenity you could need (even a crockpot to make garden fresh tomato sauce). Jim and Sue (the owners) make you feel like it is your home away from home and had very good ideas of things to do, Mclellan Park, or a hiking trail that you have to be a local to find, even a lobster boat trip with Jim captaining his own boat. (those lobsters couldn't have gotten any fresher!!) We had such a great time we are glad we did a "staycation" this year and are thinking of how gorgeous it must be in the fall with the changing leaves.
This cottage is a fabulous place to either use as home base to explore Downeast Maine, Acadia region or even Mt Katahdin (about 1half hours away). I highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy Maine the way it should be. I know we will be going back!!

My husband, 2 dogs, and I spent a week at this cottage and loved it. The house is very clean, cheerful, and comfortable while the yard is large, private, well-tended, and overlooks a gorgeous bay. We spent several hours on the beach each day with our dogs
who were able to run and explore to their hearts' content. The owners live in the house next door and were very friendly and helpful, but not at all intrusive.

Within an hour's drive, the town of Ellsworth has a very nice natural food store (John Edwards Market) and several nice restaurants, including Cleonice, where we ate and found the food outstanding. Also within an hour's drive is Acadia National Park, which is an absolutely beautiful place for driving, hiking, or camping.
