Our family had an absolutely fabulous time staying
at Mussel Cove. We have two boys, eight and three,
and having plenty of room for them to play helped
make our visit a real success.
Most mornings we would let the boys run around
outside while we had coffee and tea. They blew
bubbles on the deck, played on the swings, and
otherwise entertained themselves while we relaxed.
We'd then head off to Reid State Park (only a couple
of miles down the road, and the park pass comes
with the cottage). The beaches are beautiful in this
part of Maine, one of the reasons we chose this
cottage.
In the afternoon while our younger boy napped we
would fish off the dock, or play games in the living
room; there was a good selection of board games,
including Scrabble, which our eight-year-old loved.
In the evenings we would cook in the well-
organized kitchen, and then sit out by the deck and
cook marshmallows over the firepit; or we would go
out for seafood and an ice cream dessert.
All in all, we had a great time! We'll certainly be
back again someday.

| My family and I had a wonderful time staying at the cottage and vacationing in Maine. Every morning we sat on the porch, took pictures, watched the lobstermen come and go, and enjoyed that wonderful clean air. The cottage was nicely furnished and had every thing we needed for a wonderful laid back vacation! I would deffinately rent this cottage again! |

| We had a wonderful week in Georgetown at your cottage! Lost the first day to rain, but the rest of the week made up for it with abundant sunshine & comfortable temperatures. The cove was perfect - lobster boats, passing sailboats, and beautiful sunrises. Even a morning fog was breathtaking. Thanks for the use of your kayaks and the great dock for our boat. The fishing was challenging, but rewarding - the Five Islands Lobster Co. was delicious - lobsters were sweet. Only complaint was the green head flies, but they are to be expected at the end of July. The bed was ultra comfortable!! Thanks again!! |

"We so enjoyed our brief stay here - didn't want to go! The view (framed by the sliders, nice touch!) is just gourgeous. so peaceful. Just what we needed!....The card for Reid is nice to have - and the added touch of your sand chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys was ideal...you've thought of everything. Thanks for a great stay."

"Thank you so much for the cottage. We had a great time at the Cove. We all experienced kayaking for the first time and the grown-ups are hooked. We saw great birds: osprey, hummingbirds. Reid State Park has a great beach. The views from the deci are great at all hours.
We hope to return some day."

"Enjoyed the peacefulness of the ocean. Enjoyed Reid State Park, Mama D's, Five Island Lobster Co. The girls especially enjoyed Cold Stone Creamery. Walked the shops in Historical Bath (get there by 5pm everything closes at that time). Fished - best time as tide is coming in. Crabbed - catch n' release. Enjoyed the dock & decks & the many deer! Thanks."

"We had a very restful time at this lovely cottage. We enjoyed watching the lobster boats, sail boats, and water taxi going about their daily tasks. Kayaking was fun and gave us a different view of the cottage and the cove. A red squirrel romped in the trees, and a chipmunk came upon the porch, looking for scraps to eat. The raspberries were ripe and delicious. Thank you for a wonderful vacation."
Owner's note: The chipmunk seems to enjoy the raspberries as much as we do! Pick them quickly...

We had been travelling with 2 children and my father for 6 weeks when we arrived at this little peace of paradise. We had a wonderful time, not only was the place spotless and beautifully decorated but the ambience ensured a very relaxing stay. We paddled the kyacks up and spent time with the seals, purchased lobsters from the locals and cooked them up with the pot provided and spent money in Freeport!! I would recommend this place to anyway who wants to relax and enjoy the company of friends and family. Thankyou.
Also we booked this accommodation via the internet from Australia - we had no problems with both the accommodation and our hosts. |

Thanks for equipping the house so well with all the kitchen facilities and basic foods. And we loved the comfortable living area where we could all sit and read or eat or whatever."

"The week in Maine was very rainy but very enjoyable none the less. The Lobsta was sweet, the antique shops were filled with great things, your place was very relaxing, Maritime Museum in Bath was extremely interesting, Robinhood Free Meetinghouse was tasty, Boothbay Harbor was charming, had the best Reuben of my life at the German restaurant in Brunswick, people were friendly, Reid State Park was beautiful, etc...
I'd like to rent your place another time and take out the kayaks, have dinner on your dock and enjoy the scenery when it's not rainy and wet"

A perfect vacation spot! Clean, comfortable cottage, very well equipt for preparing meals of all types. Beautiful views from the living room, both decks and the dock. Great kayaking and exploring White's Cove and beyond.
This vacation was one of my favorites of all time.

"Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at your home in Georgetown. Must admit it was fun trying to find it a 10.00pm at night, but we got there in the end. We had a very enjoyable stay and visited a few places locally, Bar Harbor, Freeport, Boothsbay and of course Reid State Park amongst others. even managed to get my wife into one of the canoes, which was fun...."
Note from owner: we advise you arrive during daylight as the area is quite dark at night:)

"Thanks again for the opportunity to rent your cabin - we had a great time. We saw lots of deer this year, which is the first time I've ever seen a deer in Maine - and I've been going up my whole life! My husband and 5-year old son also saw the raccoons - one of them came right up to the sliding glass door and watched my son watching him!"
