Great sunrises and views of the harbor
Great location to all the sites and activities surrounding the area. The cottage is perfect for 2 people. If you don't want a lot of excitement this place is for you. Enjoyed the daily feeding of the seagulls from the owner next door! Wonderful time.

Cottage on the bay
My husband and I just returned from a wonderful week in Maine on Penobscot Bay. The cottage was perfect- clean, comfortable, ideal location, and a terrific view of the bay. Perfect for relaxing and taking trips to surrounding towns, hiking, restaurants, and beaches. Al and Rosie were super friendly and helpful and we hope to return to the cottage in the future.

Week by the harbor
Great location for views of the harbor. Quiet dead end street. Our hosts were very nice and helpful. For guests who bring kayaks, be aware that you have to carry them down some rocky shoreline to get to the water.

Vacation in Rockland
We were overwhelmed by the gorgeous view from the deck. The cottage is right on the water! The deck furniture is perfect. The kitchen has all you need including a coffee pot and coffee! The TV is in fine working order. Because my husband is so tall, he had to adjust to the double bed. We have a queen size. bed at home! The owners are cordial and helpful. We had a great week!

Relaxing week
Terri and I really enjoyed our week in Owl's Head. Rosemary and Al were nearby and available but respected our privacy. The cottage is wonderfully located and comfortable. Everything we needed for the week was furnished. We enjoyed being able to bicycle to the lighthouse as well as on a relatively close by rail trail. Thanks for a relaxing week.

We so enjoyed our week here in Owls Head. Beautiful weather, views, serenity. Thank you Rosie and AL for sharing your little cottage. Your kindness and hospitality were greatly appreciated. Small, but comfortable, the listing is accurate. Sure going to miss those sunrises drinking coffee on the deck! The cottage and the area help create a truly peaceful atmosphere. Thanks again!

Fabulous deck!!
The deck and view are outstanding. The kitchen is updated and has everything you need. The living area needs an update - old furniture of the garage sale variety. The hosts were gracious and proximity to Rockland was great

Million Dollar View!
Spectacular view of Rockland Harbor and the breakwater/lighthouse from the deck and kitchen area. Every day we were greeted to a beautiful sunrise. Kitchen is well stocked with everything one needs to prepare meals. The bedroom and bathroom were on the smaller side, but it's a cottage so that was ok with us. All linens and towels were provided which is a nice touch. Oh, and there's a washer and clothesline, so don't overpack. The location is convenient to Port Clyde, Thomaston, Rockland, Rockport and Camden. Rosie and Al were perfect hosts. And so to end, we plan to return!

Wonderful Location!
Rosemary and Al were wonderful hosts.They quickly responded to any requests we had. The cottage was fully outfitted and comfortable. The location couldn’t have been better, very quiet neighborhood, and the view of the harbor right off the deck was incomparable. The town of Rockland was minutes away. We had a very restful vacation, which is just what we needed. I would love to come back next summer.

What a view!
Thank you Rosie! We had a great time! The cottage was very nice and well equipped. The shower is small but useable, it's a vacation not a full time home. The rest of the cottage makes up for it. Oh what a view! The owners were close by if you needed anything but left us alone to enjoy our stay. It is a great place to start your Mid Coast adventure from! We would come again!
