Stayed Aug 23, 2022MacMahan island is lovely. The people on the island could not be any nicer. The house was a disaster. There was black mold on most of the walls and windows. Fiberglass installation had been removed above beds with pieces left hanging down. Spiderwebs and dirt everywhere. We drove 10 hours to get there. Stayed 1/2 hour. Left and drove home

Stayed Aug 6, 2017Staying at Bird's Nest is like stepping back in time 50 years to a simpler life. Beautiful views from almost every window and wonderful island trails to explore. We loved watching the lobster boats every morning as well as the seals playing in the river. This is a wonderful place to enjoy time with family and relax in peaceful quiet.

Stayed Jul 16, 2017We had a great vacation at this place! The rustic cottage served as a perfect home-base for lots of walks and fun on the water, and the views were beautiful. Seeing/hearing porpoises and seals from the living room and deck was a unique treat. The paths on the island are speckled with mica and while we were there were lined with fascinating looking mushrooms. Our family ended up walking through the woods for many hours a day exploring the island, and had a great time doing it. The island has an interesting history and there is no shortage of surprises to be discovered while exploring. I would recommend this cottage and Macmahan in general to anyone looking to really get away from the real world for a while.

Stayed Jul 31, 2016Birdsnest is a big, beautiful house right on the water. It's clean and comfortable, but keeps a real vacation-house feel. It's a great place to walk, kayak, or just do nothing for a while. The air smells good. We spent many hours just sitting and watching the clouds, the lobster boats, and the stars at night, on some folding outdoor recliners. We saw porpoises most evenings. If your kids get tired of playing cards, MacMahon is a safe place to let them roam free--nice people, no cars. It is quite isolated, and some (especially some kids) might find it boring, though that wasn't a problem for us. Getting yourself and your stuff on and off the island is a bit of an operation, so make your grocery list carefully and don't plan on a lot of side trips. Owner Elizabeth responded quickly to emails and took good care of us.
