Yellow Dog Cottage is on a dead end road located in a sunny clearing right at the ocean’s edge. Out front is a cove that forms a network of tidal pools at low tide that are great for exploring. It's a comfortable, peaceful and relaxing place to spend your vacation.

The house has an open floor plan with a fireplace in the living room that opens onto an well-equipped, eat-in kitchen with everything you’ll need to feel at home. The sun porch off the kitchen has windows on 3 sides and 180-degree water views and is great for reading, eating, relaxing, and playing cards, board games and doing puzzles.

You can enjoy fresh-caught lobsters delivered to our dock by our caretaker who lobsters in the bay off the house.
Outside, we have a gas grill, picnic table, outdoor fireplace and Adirondack chairs down by the water’s edge. We have our own ramp and float, a deep-water mooring in front of the house, and a natural boat launch that great for putting in kayaks and canoes.

We're located just off Muscongus Bay, which boasts some of the best kayaking, sailing, and motoring on the coast of Maine and is just minutes away by boat. Town, with local supermarkets, cafes, gas stations, and drugstores and the famous Moody's Diner, are about 20 minutes away by car.

We welcome your well-behaved dog with prior approval and an additional fee -- please inquire. Smoking is not permitted anywhere inside the house or on the porches.

Conveniently located halfway between Friendship and Waldoboro, it's an easy day trip to all of coastal Maine's attractions. It's just 45 minutes to Boothbay Harbor, and the Camden, Rockland, and Rockport areas. It's 90 minutes to L.L. Bean, Freeport's outlet shopping, Popham Beach, and Reid State Park, and just two hours to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.

    The Yellow Dog Cottage is a peaceful, relaxing rental that feels more like home. This is our second year and as expected the house was spotless and the views are amazing! Harlan the caretaker and lobsterman is always friendly and provides the most delicious bounty from the sea fresh off his boat. The neighbors are friendly and are always there with a .We highly recommend staying at the Yellow Dog Cottage.

    We spent 2 weeks relaxing at Yellow Dog Cottage watching the tide ebb and flow, lobster fishermen and their dog going about their days work and amazing sunsets. The house is equipped with all the conveniences and comforts of home and we felt very much at home there. Beautiful flowers were blooming in the yard. We really didn't want to leave.

    This was the perfect place to unwind. The photos are a great representation of Yellow Dog Cottage. We loved the quietness of the location (early summer). It was close to town for when we needed to go. The owners are kind.

    Lovely cottage with a great kitchen and a glorious spot to watch sunsets over the ocean with 11 foot tides adding drama to the view! I look forward to staying again! And God bless Harlan - the world’s finest lobsterman and his gorgeous dog Angel!

    This property outdid our expectations. The house was immaculate and the overall ambiance was homey. The view was spectacular. Watching the wildlife and the lobster men plus the tide’s ebbing was so relaxing. Sitting outside and not hearing anything but birds was a respite from the world’s chaos. Truthfully this place is a piece of heaven.
