Lovely Waterfront Cottage, Dog friendly, 4 miles from Town and Ocean

Fabulously well appointed cottage on a tranquil Maine pond. Highly recommend!

Amazing place and great host.

We could not have asked for a better location for our vacation! Heather’s lovely house is located on a beautiful property, every possible amenity we needed was available and in good condition. Heather was responsive, friendly and helpful when we had questions. Proximity to Camden, Rockport, Rockland was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks and fire pit. We will be back!

Heather’s Bluebell Cottage was an awesome find. It was very comfortable, cozy with everything you’d need or want. Gorgeous view of the pond. We spent a lot of time on the deck relaxing and enjoying the view. Loved watching and listening to the loons. Beds were very comfortable. It is a 7 minute drive to Camden. Would definitely return.

This was our second summer at Bluebell Cottage, and it was a wonderful week again. The weather, the loons, the ambiance—all couldn’t have been better! Heather’s love for her cottage — from the interior to the beautiful flowers across the grounds — made our visit truly memorable. We certainly hope to return next summer!

This was my family’s second annual stay at Bluebell Cottage. Every bit as special as the first. We love the coziness and personal touches all around the cottage, as well as the beautiful view of Hosmer Pond. The hospitality of Heather is unparalleled! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. Our whole family was able to relax and unwind, including the family dog :) We look forward to returning next year!

Comfortable, relaxed environment to be enjoying the serenity of the pond, and amenities of home like environment. Enjoyed time with family, proximity to points of interest, and great seafood. A great way to experience this part of the country.

We had a super time at Heather’s home. She went above and beyond to make us (and our pups) feel comfortable and enjoy our vacation. Beautiful setting with a cozy home that offers many options to relax and appreciate the outdoors! We would love to go again.

Our family had a nice stay on Hosmer Pond. The house was clean and very well appointed. It was refreshing not to have to run to store for every spice or first aid need. And having the canoe, kayaks and paddle boards on property is a huge bonus. Heather was very responsive to our questions and offered helpful suggestions. Other than some cars passing on other side of pond, it’s very quiet. Not criticisms but just some notes for prospective renters: there is a drop off from property to pond of a couple feet. This really only mattered to our 11 year old hound who could not find access to wade or swim (he’s too old to jump off dock). Also, if you like sun, the dock only catches it from sunrise to 8 AM-ish (at least in late August). The property gets its share of sunshine, it’s just the dock that is shady, which may be preferable to some. Also, certainly a seasonal issue, but watch out for aggressive bees. My 23 year old got stung our 2nd day there (and on his birthday no less!). Not allergic but his leg stayed pretty swollen for a few days. All of us had our encounters to the point where a couple of us avoided hanging out on the deck. We would definitely love to stay there again in the future.

Bluebell Cottage lived up to its description and more. Unfortunately, we didn’t meet Heather in person but texted her some questions which she promptly replied to. Although an unusually rainy season for Maine, our weather was mainly good (with only a few showers). We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the cottage…swimming, kayaking and fishing (I landed a good-sized largemouth bass on my first cast from the dock!). But above all, we enjoyed the quiet and serenity, occasionally pleasantly broken by cries of a pair of beautiful loons, which traveled closely past the cottage with their young chick. The cottage was super clean and Heather offered all the amenities plus some, like a heat pump with a/c on warm days and heat when it became quite cool, as is typical in Maine. Nice touches throughout, with Heather’s interior design and beautiful flowers outside. In the woods on a small, quiet lake but very close to Camden/Rockport, with all that those coastal villages offer - - including delicious lobster! Definitely hope to return!
