A Historic Storybook Maine Cottage

Very relaxing and tranquil stay.

My wife and I had the most relaxing week at the cottage. Tom and Laurie were so kind and welcoming. We enjoyed our daily walks along the water, trips into Round Pond and Damariscotta, and finding new trails to walk with our dog. Coming home each evening to such a comfortable space made it even better. We will definitely be back!

The Laughing Gull Cottage was so relaxing, quaint and everything we needed was there. So quiet, and a million dollar view from the front porch. Our daughter loved the small beaches within walking distance. We will definitely be back!

Great area, local to many things in Bristol.

Great location and once in Pemaquid Comms with the owners was easy. We missed the note on the extra cost for 3rd person, but as our daughter was 17 she qualified as free, but worth noting if you have a 3rd adult. Also linen and towels not supplied which was only on our email the week prior to staying so also worth adding to the information. Great location and beautiful area,so we would definitely stay again!

We love the look and feel of rustic Maine cottages. This place met all of our expectations. Beautifully maintained. Loved the front porch. Every morning I sat on the porch with my coffee and looked out at the water. The beach is a 10 minute drive away if that. Beautiful beach. A small local grocery store is 10 minutes away in the opposite direction. A couple of nice seafood places are nearby. We love Shaw’s. It was a great vacation. Would love to return next and maybe stay a little longer. Thomas was a great host which made the stay that much better.

Great location!!!

What a great traditional Maine cottage. Just as described, and one of best equipped we've ever stayed at. No need to bring pans, sharp knives, working coffee pot...you know what I mean. The view to the bay is perfect and the privacy unheard of in an ocean view. Laurie's Picks were spot on, and you're close enough to town to try some of the restaurants if you feel the need to branch out from the nearby lobster coops -- but who would? The dogs never left the best porch in Maine. Would definitely return.

This was a very cozy cabin. The porches were a great add on to enjoy. The view of the ocean can be seen from the front porch while rocking. The stone fireplace was very enjoyable. A complimentary fire is laid for you which was very nice. Due to the rainy nights, we purchased wood elsewhere to use. The wood you paid for at the house was pretty damp, and we didn’t want to potentially smoke up the house. There are two beautiful trails to be taken on Pemaquid Trail rd., one to the rocky shore, and another, before the campground, to the far end of Pemaquid beach. Both great finds. Reilly’s, a great store in town, is a great place for sandwiches and drinks. So many hiking trails to choose from. The location is a great place to explore.

It is a lovely, classic, well cared for Maine cottage. Quiet and tucked back from Pemaquid Trail, a neighborhood of assorted homes and cottages. Host and hostess there for check in and check out, responsive to questions and needs. Pemaquid Beach right around the corner. Quiet and restful, enjoyed the front porch and lawn area.
