Unfortunately the cottage was sold this year so I opted for a Thompson House cottage. I loved it!

We find it a time of profound relaxation, if we choose it so, with limited internet access and much time watching the ocean. We also spend a lot of time reading and walking, and learning more each year about Maine. We use the library built by the Thompsons, with a focus on books by Maine authors, or set in Maine, plus the latest bestsellers. We use the books on local trails and sites to explore the area. Karen and Merle and the staff are always helpful, and have really helped us get to know the area. We'll be back in years to come, and are considering adding a May visit. After all, we want to get to know Maine in the springtime, as well as at the height of summer. And we know a wonderful place to serve as our home base.

Seanook, with three bedrooms upstairs, is built on the beach; the tide comes in under and around it. It is like being on a boat, but it doesn’t rock! Full kitchen, two baths, four decks, and a dock. Paradise Cottage is across the street from the water with bay views in two directions. It is nestled between woods and gardens and has a small kitchen, two bedrooms, and two baths all on one floor and a shaded deck that wraps two sides with a door from each room. Relax as the tide comes in and out, watch eagles, osprey, and seagulls soar, and listen to the twittering of birdsong around you. Or drive the three miles to Boothbay Harbor for unique shopping, gourmet restaurants, and boat excursions. With easy access our Maine cottage rentals encompass all that is offered by a stay on the rockbound coast.

Loved this little retro place. Simple, small, spotlessly clean. We rented a cabin for a week and…read moreI was afraid it would be claustrophobic, but it was not. The cabins are bright inside, lace covered windows and have a sweet little porch to sit on. You can be sociable with the other guests, otherwise most people will respect your need for quiet. Sunsets are beautiful there, right on John's Bay. Shared Cook House was well equipped. Shared shower spick and span clean. Perfect location near the classic Pemaquid Lighthouse and all things classic Maine. The prices were very reasonable for such a lovely area. We will return.

The sweet cabins are simple, but complete with everything you need to get away from it all. Never slept better! The manager was very helpful in answering questions and helping us find the kind of adventures we wanted. The location is great, because it feels very private and remote, yet a short drive gets you to any number of attractions, if that's what you want. Bring the kids, bring the dog! We already booked our next visit!

Since guests were asked to respect the speed limit, it afforded people the opportunity to slow down in the campground, and be respectful of other guests. It has to start somewhere. Our site was next to the bathrooms which were very well kept. The trash was never overflowing, the toilets were clean, and the showers were in a decent state. I also enjoyed the constant music which flowed pleasantly into the bathrooms as well. I enjoyed the access to the little store as well. It had most, if not all of one's camping needs provided. Access to ice, firewood, and s'mores supplies, proved quite convenient. One evening, a woman who ran the campground, came over from her camper to take care of me in the store. She did so quite happily, and we shared a few laughs. In all, SF is in a good location, it had all of the necessary amenities, and was well kept. I'd stay again, but I might be getting too old to sleep on an air mattress in a tent. Its location to Camden, Freeport, Boothbay, and obviously Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, were advantageous too. Keep up the good work!

Apparently that site was supposed to be chained off & not reserved, & we were woken up to a bit of the older man's temper, as he thought we took the chain down to enter. Later on, after we decided to just leave & was packing up, he realized the construction crew had failed to replace the chain, thus leaving us to think it was available. He came & apologized, & let us stay on the site, just asked us to move the car to avoid a flat tire, which we actually ended up in the place he asked us to park. We rated 4 stars for the inappropriate assumption & temper but aside from that, they had showers (which you need quarters for by the way), & all the amenities you might expect, & the mama of the property was an absolute sweetheart but we didn't get to actually meet her, unfortunately. There's also a general store with everything's out might need & grocery store with all food pickin' needs just about 5-10 minutes down the road from the entrance. It's also within walking distance to the beach (that's not pet friendly btw) but pets are welcome within a reasonable driving distance to other parts of the beach.
