The best part about this cottage was the great view of the bay from the screened in porch! It was a quiet and peaceful location, but also close enough to Belfast to easily access restaurants and groceries. It was a perfect home base for exploring the mid coast of Maine. Check in was simple and Pamela provided not only necessary, but many extra amenities.
Spent a week with my family and we had the best time. The cottage was thoughtfully set up with everything we would need including firewood. My kids loved running through the lawn and walking down to the beach. We also enjoyed going into Belfast to explore the shops and food scene. And it was an easy day trip to Acadia! We want to come back next summer.
This place has it all! Every amenity. It is clean. Centrally located to all major tourist areas. Is peaceful. Clean. Modern with the cozy cabin feel. I would recommend this to anyone! Thank you
We loved our stay at this property! It was so clean and comfortable and felt very homey! The view of Belfast Bay from the screened porch was the icing on the cake. We prepared a lot of our own meals, and the kitchen was well-equipped for our needs. The home was in the just-right location for our explorations of Midcoast and Down East Maine.
Cottage was exactly as described and more. Beautifully decorated, clean and peaceful with a view. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent here. Would definitely stay again.
This is a lovely little cottage which sits at the top of a slope on a beautiful bay. The only issue we had was a short lived loss of water pressure due to a water main break up the street. The owner was quick to find out where the issue was and let us know the city was working to have it restored. They had it repaired within an hour or so & we were back in business!! The cottage was very welcoming and provided us with all the comfort we needed during our stay. I would highly recommend this owner & this cottage for anyone visiting this area!!
We really enjoyed the views from the deck . The screened in porch is wonderful too. Just the perfect size for the two of us. Belfast is a lovely town and easy to drive around in. We are from a small town so we really appreciate the slower traffic.
We found this cottage to be perfect for 2 couples to share. We had a clean, comfortable, conveniently- located âhome baseâ as we explored charming coastal towns nearby. We enjoyed morning walks on the beach and evenings on the screened porch. We would love to stay here in the future.
The cottage was perfect for our visit. Nicely decorated and ever so clean. The cottage has a great view of the water and it is an easy stroll to the beach. Also, located very close to the downtown area. Enjoyed walking by the harbor and exploring Belfast. The Friday outdoor market and the Saturday indoor market are not to be missed. Last, but not least was the prompt response of the owner for any questions. Would definitely stay there again.
This cottage is so nice. So close to everything that we wanted to do. Loved the screen in porch, we sat there most nights and ate breakfast there. Would definitely recommend.
Wonderfully clean and comfortable ( even in the heat). Our grandchildren look forward to staying with us in this lovely cottage. The view from the porch and deck is spectacular.
Everything was as advertised. Well appointed- clean and with a beautiful view and porch. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Only thing I would recommend is bigger fans for each bed room. There is no air conditioning in bedrooms when doors are closed but is fine with windows open and a good fan.
Overlook Cottage is quaint & cozy, but very modernized. Loved the filtered water option for sustainability and use of our water bottles. Favorite for our family: utilizing the screened in porch & deck and waking up to each morning to a gorgeous centered view of Penobscot Bay, meandering the rocky shore, or ending the night with a view of a million stars.
Pamela & family provide many staple amenities and easy access to a local farmers coop or grocery store in Belfast. Our local contact, Donna, was wonderful and efficient to help with a small tech issue.
We hope to return to Overlook Cottage time and time again. Great base camp for all adventures in any direction!
Thank you for sharing this lovely cottage for our summer family holiday!
First trip to Maine (visiting from Atlanta). Home was as described, clean and modern and had everything we needed. Quick walk right down to the beach where the kids could walk every night, swim, look for crabs, seals, etc. About a 8 min drive to downtown Belfast, and 90 min ride to Acadia national park. Definitely was relaxing and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time staying in this exceptional home. Property had all of the things we needed for the week, and even the things we didnât know we needed! We traveled with our young kids and this home with accommodating. Pamela was a welcoming and responsive host. 10/10 and we will look forward to coming back to this home in years to come!!
This was our second year here and we will go back next year. The property is immaculate and well sized. The location is perfect. The view of the bay from the screened porch and open deck is worth the price of admission.
