    We loved our stay at this cozy cabin! The house is somewhat rustic, but with modern amenities and is incredibly charming. Bed in the master was super comfy. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch, walking on the beach, and exploring the area. Lots of bird and deer activity. We used the fireplace at night because it got pretty chilly and really enjoyed that. They supplied the wood and also pretty much everything else you’d need (towels, flashlights, beach chairs, cookware, etc.). Had a couple small hiccups, but Colin was fast to respond. Would absolutely come back!

    Perfect place to spend a quiet week. Star gazing, sunrise, moonrise, close to lots of little towns. Definitely worth the 12 hour drive.

    Wonderful stay! Cozy and snug, love the screen porch. We spent hours watching the cove and the sailboats. Furniture is comfy as is the bed. We parked our kayaks right by the beach stairs and went swimming to cool off. Great book collection as well. This place is great.

    We were absolutely smitten with this true, quintessential Maine cottage. As Mainers ourselves, we believe that this is what a little cottage by the sea should be. We loved its old school charm and simplicity. It's a cottage that honors what we seek in the perfect vacation - a place that affords you the proximity to fresh salty air, surrounded by open fields, sandy shorelines, and the quiet of the surrounding woods. It was absolutely bliss and we ache to return next year.

    Snug Cottage was incredible! My husband and I have always wanted to go to Maine and finally got there. The cottage was exactly what we hoped it would be. Relaxing and refreshing, we spent so much time walking the shore. The hosts were fantastic! We cannot wait to go back!!

    The minute we arrived, we knew Colin and Lizzie had read our minds. We walked into a classic Maine cottage, perfect for two. We fell in love with Snug Cottage, the view, the road, the remoteness yet close enough to town to walk (if we wanted to), close to the Boat School, a perfect beach to walk on and collect shells and sea glass. The furniture and bed(s) were cozy and comfortable. The first few days it was unseasonably warm for Maine, but they had thought ahead and put out the attic fan (as well as heaters), and a wood stove came in handy toward the end of our stay. The kitchen was well-equipped and perfect to use and easy to tidy-up. Books galore, places to snuggle up and read. My favorite place was on the screen porch, looking onto Herrick Bay. The gardens were blooming with fall flowers, and there were outdoor chairs aplenty, including a hammock. The quiet was magical, as were the sunrises and sunsets. Delicious places to eat and/or buy groceries close by. We loved adding to the trove of mementos inside. We loved every moment and were sad to say farewell. Until next year? Thank you both so much.

    This house was absolutely perfect for our young family of 4. We spent our days on the beach and screened-in porch, enjoying the peace and perfect setting of the house. We had everything we needed for cooking and grilling each night. We loved our stay and will plan to come back!

    Another wonderful week and snug cottage, the location is amazing. The ability to walk out to the shore and go for long strolls at low tide is a plus. The view and the quietness are the highlights of the trip. Highly recommend.
