    “The Nugget” truly lives up to its charming name. This delightful cottage was an absolute gem—spotlessly clean, beautifully appointed, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need to feel at home. From the top-quality bedding and luxurious mattress to the elegant bathroom and fully stocked kitchen, every detail speaks of care and comfort. The cozy living room was the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. Cindy and Warren have spared nothing in creating a haven for their guests. We can’t wait for our next stay in this picture-perfect cottage nestled in one of the most beautiful corners of the world.

    This is a lovely place. Beautiful location. Great view. Place is in excellent condition, very comfortable. Owners were very accommodating, offering their help if needed. They added extra touches, like providing pastries and coffee from the local farmer’s market. We would go back there. Bailey Island is a beautiful place.

    Had an opportunity to visit the island during a tuna tournament. What a wonderful cottage! Perfect in every way imaginable. Warren and Cindy couldn’t have been more welcoming. Loved the beautiful flowers, awesome coffee and fresh fruits and vegies they provided for me upon my arrival. Seamless check in/out. Def plan to return next year.

    Such a charming cottage and great hosts! We used The Nugget as our home base to explore the coast and eat amazing seafood. We definitely fell in love with Maine! Warren and Cindy paid great attention to detail in designing and decorating the cottage. I’d go back in a second!
