Our Stay
I reserved it for 3 adults. There was no bedding for the hide-a-bed. The matteress seemed stained. The mosquitos were quite thick. Some spray repellent would have been helpfull. A Kerig is nice, but not having any pods was not. We had brought coffee with us for a real coffee pot.

Beautiful open waterfront stay
Very intimate setting but with plenty of outdoor waterfront pleasures. A massive shared lawn area that leads to a wonderful dock on the water. Plenary off water time amenities; fishing, kayaking, swimming… Mike (owner) was right there to make it all happen.

We loved it here. Very cute little house, perfect for a couple wanting to explore Casco Bay. Wonderful views of the water. We got to kayak and lay out on the dock and saw the Milky Way. Mike and Connie were very helpful, highly recommend!

Forever Camp great little place to stay
Cottage was neat and clean, but could use some sprucing up. Hosts are great people, interested in you enjoying your stay and extremely accommodating. Whatever we needed during our stay was just a request away. Owner’s live on property and have four rental units so always available, but unless you need them you wouldn’t know it. Views are fantastic, elevated, directly over a working harbor so lobster boats going by. Very cool. There was an eagle living in the area so comes flying by regularly. Quite as can be with no road noise and while we were there 17 nights, no noise from the other rentals. Very peaceful sitting by the fire at night, but beware of the bugs. Lots of mosquitoes. Speak to Mike and he’ll give you some Yard Guard to help. There is a local place right down the road to buy fresh lobster (you need to cook it yourself, but cottage is equipped to do so) at the best price around. All in all, we had a very nice stay. Lot’s of preserves in the area with hiking opportunities with varying difficulty. Harpswell is a great place to spend some time.

Tranquil view of ocean
Loved the tranquilty of the views and cleanliness! The bed was comfortable but the rest of furniture was NOT comfortable. Great to have the ceiling fans! Kitchen was bare minimal; no tea pot, broiler pan, cookie sheet, baking pan, aluminum foil or plastic wrap provided. Oven was not clean and using burner on stove top to heat water set off smoke alarm. Had 2 melamine lobster plates with butter dishes, nut crackers and lobster pot. "Sofa bed" is a pull out loveseat that provides a single twin size bed . I do not think more than 2 people would be comfortable staying at this cottage without trippong over each other. My Husband and I barely could prepare meals together due to lack of work surface and minimal counter space and bumping into each other. Microwave fits a single dinner plate; it was too small to accomandate a Copco travel mug. Walking space to bathroom was barely the width of a person. OUTSIDE requires you to walk through next door cottage's backyard to access dock. No ladder provided to reach water. Lawn was not mowed and double glider shown in pictures does not have any cushions and we were afraid it would break if used. Owners never responded to inquiry for glider cushions. The owners were very prompt in responding to our report that the tv was not working. It was fixed in less than 24 hours! We could hear neighbors conversations as their vehicle is within 10' of our cottage. The property description is inaccurate. The cottage is located ALONG the way to the dead end of the road NOT at the end of a dead end road. There is NO bathtub as stated in the description. Please note there is no dishwasher and no kitchen linens were provided to dry hand washed dishes with. The property needs some maintenance done- side entrance stairs and landing were peeling and unattractive. Location usually required 30-45 min drive to reach most points of interest. Highly recommend Mae's Cafe in Bath, The Hardy Boat Puffin Cruise, The Maine State Prison Showroom and the Maine Botanical Gardens!!!

We were just there for a night, so we didn't get to take full advantage of all the outdoor amenities, but this is a great little cottage with a fantastic location looking out over the ocean and across to nearby islands. Great all around.
