Cozy, private cottage on the water.

The Bi-Valve is quintessential Maine cabin. We had a wonderful stay on peaceful Herrick Bay. The kayaking was fantastic - our favorite paddle was around Naskeag Point for a picnic on Hog Island. We really enjoyed the lookout deck - love being able to see the Milky Way and shooting stars at night!

Rustic but very clean and comfortable with a very well supplied kitchen.

Beautiful place and great views. We loved it!

We loved the location, the screened-in porch, proximity to the water and the cozy, comfortable cabin. Weather even permitted two or more swims! Kitchen was well appointed, beds were comfortable and we particularly appreciated the heat on cool mornings. Great stay and we would like to come again.

The screened in porch, view, and ability to go mucking right out the door were just delightful. Thank you for warning ahead to bring old sneakers to muck. We went out twice, the second time even finding large crabs. The bathroom was small and the cabin a bit remote, but it was a beautiful view. the screened in porch makes up for alot. We also like the viewing deck.

We love Bivalve. It was our third stay there. The cottage is well-equipped and has a classic rustic feel. Spending time on the porch or observation deck is good for the soul. We discovered the bar at Brooklin Inn and had an excellent dinner at The Lookout Inn.

Amazing! A wonderful cabin in the woods on the water close to Brooklin and Blue Hill but far away from everything.

Walks, birding, kayaking, and absolutely great weather -- what's not to like?

We had a fantastic time spending almost a week at the Bivalve. It was not too long of a drive to Acadia and other beautiful places to explore. It was the perfect spot for the five of us to enjoy our first family vacation in almost a decade!

Our second visit. Quiet location, easy distances for daytrips and screened-in porch when not day tripping. We are senior citizens, and we discovered last summer that it's difficult to maneuver the canoe in and out of the water (although the owner has now built a launch deck). We rented kayaks from the Activity Shop--they deliver and retrieve them--and enjoyed using the deck for sipping wine and reading. If you like the Maine woods, water, etc., it's a five-star location.

The Bivalve, a rustic cabin on a quiet cove, is the perfect place to get away but still be close to good restaurants (Brooklin Inn, Tinder Hearth, Aragosta) and great hiking (Acadia and Great Pond Mountain). The kitchen is well stocked and the screened-in porch, right on the water, is idyllic. Saw seals and eagles daily. We hope to return.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this adorable cabin! The rustic vibe perfectly complemented the beautiful surroundings, yet it was equipped with all the modern amenities one could wish for. The privacy was unparalleled, allowing us to truly relax and unwind. The views were stunning, and the sunsets were breathtaking! One of our favorite features was the screened porch, which was perfect for enjoying dinners and morning coffee while taking in the serene atmosphere. The location was ideal for exploring the area. We were just a short drive away from Blue Hill, Deer Isle, and Stonington, which offered plenty of outdoor activities, charming shops and restaurants. Acadia National Park was also within a reasonable driving distance, making it a great day trip option. Overall, this cabin exceeded our expectations and provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable getaway. We highly recommend!

The description of the cabin was exactly as advertised. The pictures were accurate. We gathered mussels and dug clams, a true mollusk gathering cornucopia. The cabin is well located to the tiny, but charming town of Brooklin, the upscale town of Blue Hill, and is in striking distance to Deer Isle and Barr Harbor. Visiting the Wooden Boat property is a must and an easy walk from the cabin! Despite the petit scale of the building, it’s lovingly appointed with all modern conveniences. The outdoor shower is a delight. The beach is great for beach combing and the inlet is easy to access via Terry’s canoe.

We stayed for 6 nights in June 2024 (family of 3, with our teenage daughter). The house is exactly as described on the website. It is really directly at the water in a beautiful and quiet and peaceful setting. It is wonderfully suited to relax and wind down and enjoy nature at its best. The cabin is beautifully appointed and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. A big plus is the screened in porch with the view on the water and ample space for meals al fresco. Another highlight is the provided canoe which allows for fun and memorable moments on the water, such as sunset cruises. The tide recedes far enough to muck around and collect mussels and clams for your dinner fresh from the sea. Another plus is the outside shower. The kitchen is completely equipped to cook sea food, including fresh lobsters. The location close to Blue Hill is just a 20 minute drive to excellent fish market and wine store and supermarket. Also the quaint little fisher village Stonington where one can get fresh lobsters right off the boat is just a 40 minute scenic drive away. Even to Acadia it is only a bit more than an hour and the drive is beautiful. The cottage is big enough for a small family and a really cozy place. One cannot go wrong with this place. The owner is super easy to communicate with and the check in and check out were super easy and straight forward. We give this a complete 5 star rating and can highly recommend to anyone seeking to spend some quality time close to nature.
