    This place is ideal! The location is amazing! We've stayed here before and look forward to returning. The cottage is comfortable and clean, and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Communication with host Doreen is quick and easy. An ideal place to sit back and soak in the beauty of mid-coast Maine!

    This was our 3rd year at Doreen's place and we just love it. Peacefulness, views, and location is the 'Maine' attraction for us. As always, very clean, very cozy. Love the separate upstairs accessed by outdoor stairs. Very well supplied. Comfy beds and furniture. Nice and bright. Great kayak launch from 2 small private beaches. The pretty, gas heater works great. Gulls, diving ducks, a nightly Great Blue Heron visitor....and a deer swimming across from the Island!!! As hikers, we took advantage of Acadia park a good drive away, but we agreed that our best time was just sitting on the fabulous deck and staying put at the cottage. Doreen is only a text away. Rebooked already!

    This is an exceptional place.. It is a perfect location for enjoying kayaking, paddle boarding and just endless hours on the private beach. We love to cook and the kitchen is well equipped which was so appreciated. The views from the deck are amazing.I can't say enough good things about this cottage and will be back next year.Also.. our host was so helpful in every way and always got back to us with any questions we had about the cottage.

    This was my second time staying at this house and it was just as wonderful this summer as it was last summer! It’s the perfect cottage directly on the water and owl’s head, which is convenient too Rockland and Camden as well as Acadia and Bar Harbor. The cottage contains everything you could possibly need in the kitchen as well as a comfortable double bed downstairs and upstairs with the view of the water. Doreen is so easy to work with and. I hope I will be able to spend some more time at her cottage next summer!

    Loved our stay just as much as last year. Very peaceful and private property right on the water. Great to launch kayaks from the back yard down some stairs to the beach. This year we chose hiking in Acadia 2 1/2 hours away. If you want to recharge and just relax, the only sound heard from the house and deck is the water lapping and birds. So quiet you can hear the wings of geese taking off from the water from a distance. Both the upstairs and downstairs are cozy, charming, neat and very clean. Great if you want your own space upstairs. The deck furniture is awesome. The beds and all furniture are comfortable. The living room wall is all windows so you can take in the lovely view. The cottage is incredibly and thoughtfully supplied. The gas fireplace works great and pretty with the 'flames'. There's a little space heater for a quick warm up if needed on the upstairs level. Fans in the supply closet, leashes for fido...pretty much anything to make for a comfortable and an easy stay. There are a zillion books if you're staying in. Too many good things to list. Doreen is a very responsive host should you need anything or have a question. Great area near Rockland and Camden. My one tidbit is that a 2nd set of keys would be convenient. I stayed upstairs and made sure I kept the set with me so that I could access the first floor's outside door in the morning

    Loved the cottage and most of all, the location. It felt like we had our own private cove. Perhaps the owners could include info on renting kayaks in the listing. It could have been included and I didn’t see it.

    The Mills Cottage is in a location where we could just sit and enjoy the view if that’s what we wanted. We did but also traveled the area. The house was perfect. Very Clean and comfortable with obvious consideration for guests. We loved the decorations and personal family photos that shows history of love for the area. We’ll be back !!
