Charming Woodsy Cottage - Ocean View with Monhegan Island

Stayed for two weeks and loved it. The sweeping ocean view, combined with the constant sound of the surf crashing onto the shore, was mesmerizing. The cottage is really homey and comfortable, The kitchen, though tiny, is well equipped and we prepared several meals with ease. The location is perfect, with lots of great destinations within 30 minutes drive. We liked the proprietors, Pam and Bennet Brooks, so well we had them over for dinner! There are a few things that could use sprucing up. The bathroom is downstairs and the bedrooms are upstairs, so if you’re like me and need to make a few overnight calls of nature, that part is a little challenging. But we all agreed we would stay here again in a heartbeat. This place is special.

My family and I stayed at Pam’s cottage for a week in July. The cottage is very cute and well maintained. The sunroom was great to relax in at night. The deck was my favorite place to relax. There are ocean views from the deck and you can hear the waves crashing. All of the bedrooms were very comfortable. The front upstairs bedroom has the same ocean view that the deck has. The kitchen is small but we were able to make it work. There is a tiny shower in the bathroom and that’s the only thing that could use an improvement. The location is very nice. There is a very steep driveway to get to the cottage. So be aware. It is not paved. We loved the ice cream stand in town. There is a nice grocery store in town as well. Highly recommend Pemaquid Seafood. It’s about 5-10 minutes from the cottage. Pemaquid beach was crowded but nice that it was 5 minutes away. Pam is very easy to communicate with and very responsive. I would definitely recommend a stay at her cottage!

Beautiful view! Listened to the waves at night. Peaceful retreat, lovely spacious cottage.

We have stayed at this cozy cottage a number of years. It is comfortable clean and very relaxing. View of ocean and you can hear the waves and seagull along with the bouy bell in the distance. The pictures need to be updated as Pam has made some nice improvements. The beds are comfortable quite neighbors. Thers is also a great country market very close where you can get almost anything you need. Hardy boat tours within walking distance too. Pemiquid lighthouse a few miles down the road never disappoints . Cute cozy restaurant and gift shop next door with a great view of the crashing waves and lighthouse. It is our favorite place to getaway and relax and regroup. There is plenty of activities close by Monhegan island, Pemaquid, state beach, kayaking, and shopping. In the quaint town of Darimascotta .Enjoy!

We just returned from a wonderful stay at Pam and Bennett’s beautiful property! They were such gratious hosts with a well appointed cabin. It was the cleanest rental we have ever been in with special attention to detail. The kitchen was well stocked and we just loved all the different seating areas! There were so many comfy choice locations from the outside with a “woodsy” feel and amazing ocean views, inside living area and a huge screened in porch! We are a family of five adults and there was plenty of space and beds were veey comfortable. We enjoyed the local eateries and surrounding area as this cabin house is in a great location to the beach, restaurants, lobster docks, grocery store, ferry to outer island and hiking. Thank you so much for an amazing week!

Great location!

We loved our stay in Pam & Bennett’s cottage! The sound of the ocean and sea breezes made it so relaxing. Beautiful views from the enclosed front of the cottage allowed a nice view of the woods and ocean at all hours. Close drive to Pemaquid Beach and lighthouse. Check out the Laverne trail and Hardy Boat cruises, all close by. Beautiful area of Maine!

The property was good as a place to home base from on longer trips, but it's at the point where it needs some maintenance and the kitchen is old enough to pose some challenges for the home cook. If you're eating out every night and spending most days on the beach/road, it's perfect.

Another wonderful week in our favorite cottage. It is the most relaxing time the we anticipate all year. If you are thinking about staying here you wont regret it simply wonderful. We love the new queen size bed that was a nice addition. Pam and Bennett were so friendly and accommodating and thanks for the suggestion on hiking the LaVerna preserve it was so pretty.

This rental was relaxing with a great view of the ocean and lots of wildlife. If you stay, be sure to check out Pam's binder on the area - lots of spot-on recommendations for things to do and places to eat.
