Hidden Gem Cottage' Near Blue Hill Peninsula

Reviews

• 5/5

  It was such a perfect cottage in the woods. Everything was clean and cozy. It was beautifully decorated and very quiet. We felt so welcome and there was even a gift basket for us when we arrived. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

  Stay was ok, the cottage was very clean, with lots of fresh towels and several fans, which we appreciated. However, the plug in fragrances and lack of an extra set of sheets were a drawback.

  The homeowners were surprised to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and would like to share the following:
  - We supply fresh linens and towels for every stay, and we also keep an additional set of sheets stored in the couch compartment for guest use.
  - We place plug-in fragrances in the home as a courtesy, but we understand scent is a matter of personal preference, and they can easily be unplugged if not desired.
  - We encourage guests to reach out to the Guest Contact should they have any questions or concerns during their stay. We're always happy to help.
  - As part of our hospitality, we enjoy providing thoughtful touches like a guest gift basket and fresh flowers to create a warm and inviting experience.
  We appreciate your comments so we can continue to refine the guest experience and ensure future travelers enjoy a 5-star stay.

  We had a quiet and peaceful week in this secluded and beautifully appointed cottage.The rooms were spotlessly clean. Everything is provided for a comfortable stay. We brought some food and cooked freshly caught steamers from Johnson’s Shellfish in Blue Hill. The General Store and The Morning Moon Cafe are great for breakfast and lunch. We took the Mail Boat out of Stonington to Isle au Haut for a lovely view of the islands off of Deer Isle. Cliff was a great host, left us to our seclusion and was there only when needed. We truly enjoyed every day of our stay.

  We had a lovely and relaxing stay at this Hidden Gem. Exactly what we needed. The location was perfect for us, close to so many things we wanted to do on the Blue Hill Peninsula and Deer Isle. Secluded, but not lonely. I'm glad I read the other reviews so that I understood this is an "in-law" suite attached to a larger house. Everything was wonderful except the pull-out bed from the loveseat in the living room. This was too uncomfortable to sleep on (I was traveling with my college-aged son, and he tried--to no avail). This place is perfect for a couple who can share a bed. I look forward to coming back someday. I really needed this relaxing stay.

  The property was outstanding! Each room was beautifully decorated with interesting touches throughout. And the owner could not be more gracious. He offered tips for Acadia and shared his favorite restaurants. We loved our stay here and wished we could have stayed longer. We would definitely return! Thank you for making our stay special!
