Our family loves Canns Beach Cottage! Our favorite part is the incredible lovely view, and a short walk to sandy Crockett's Beach. This is the 2nd year that we have stayed for our family reunion. The new furniture in the basement is comfy and the additional sofas and chairs in the main living area are too and really a plus for gatherings or so we can just spread out and relax. The open spaces on the floor and the extra table let the cousins play boardgames and we are always mesmerized by looking out the windows at the view. We had a fire down by the rocks a couple of nights, cooked marshmallows and sang our sing-alongs. Your house is a treasure filled with warmth and love! We hope it is available for our next reunion. A brighter light at the bottom of the deck steps would help us older folks. Thank you so much!

We loved the open design of the home, with views of the lake on all sides. The screened in porch was also a favorite hangout of ours, where we could sit at night (to avoid the mosquitoes), or in the morning watching the lake. The property itself was lovely - right off the dirt road, you found yourself in this clearing surrounded by trees, with a pathway leading down to your own semi-private lake. With very little boat traffic while we were there, our swims were heavenly on the glassy smooth water. We liked the fact that the house was modern but rustic at the same time, and the same went for the property. Just enough was cleared, but there was still a forest feeling to it. We have been coming up to Maine for years. Initially, we stayed in cottages in the Naples, Long Lake area, but once our daughters finished their overnight camping days, we decided to explore more of Maine. We've been trying to find an area that has both the great lake experience (not too large, for swimming purposes, but large enough for small boating and fishing) and access to golf, good restaurants and shops, walking trails and the ocean (for my daily lobster needs -haha!). We loved this area, with its closeness to Belfast, Camden and Rockport.

On the Water in Maine was helpful in getting a hot water situation worked out. We loved the great location on the water with great views. Can put in kayaks right from the beach, can build fire on the beach in the evening. The main bathroom is large, which is nice for larger groups.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Wiley Neck House and hope we were good neighbors. My children and older grandkids loved the dock and float and were in the water almost every day. The needlework and quilting are beautiful. The arrangement of the rooms (some bedrooms up and some down) gave everyone plenty of space. The dock and float were great for water sports.

You got a good team at On the Water in Maine. A pleasure working with you all. The yard was nice for volleyball and backyard fun. Good time.

Thank you very much for a good time. Apparently the cleanup crew found two cracked tiles upon our departure. I did not notice the broken tiles while there. Please forgive me if this happened during my stay. If anything needs to be taken care of, please contact me directly. I respect you & your home immensely, thank you for the opportunity.

Emily at On the Water in Maine was so sweet and very helpful. The outside shower at the main house is FANTASTIC! The lower deck with the chairs was a great place for coffee in the morning and cocktails in the afternoon. The house is very private despite having neighbors on both sides. The dock/view were really great. The floors needed to be better swept, and there were cobwebs around drapes and between furniture and the walls. "On the Water" was very receptive of our concerns about this though, and we appreciated that very much. They offered to have the cleaners come back (we declined) but they did give us a nice restaurant gift card (Thank you)! This house had everything we needed(except for kayaks) and we had a WONDERFUL TIME! We would definitely return to this location again. It would be a great place to have a large family gathering with the beautiful barn right across the street. We did not use the barn, but it looked lovely too.We also rented kayaks through Tidal Transit- and that was great too.

Thank you for allowing us to use your home. We had a wonderful time.

Thanks again for letting us stay. Loved the new additions. This is our 2nd summer at the house and with On the Water in Maine - we plan to come back! It really has everything you need for a relaxing and perfect Maine vacation - the screened in porch and the large float out on the pond were great additions!

This was our second year renting from On the Water in Maine. Both experiences were very positive. Ease and convenience are important, and you provide both.

Lovely home thank you for sharing! The view was spectacular. The close proximity to Rockland was a bonus that we were not expecting. The house was well appointed even for those of us who cook on vacation.

Love your house - one of the best places I have ever stayed. Thanks for opening your home to tourists. It was a wonderful experience. Your property managers at On The Water in Maine are great. Great location; upstairs deck is great. The accomodations are very comfortable. Love the 2 great restaurants (Shephards Pie and Salt Water Farm) right across the street as well as the Rockport Harbor. While Camden is close it is still a bit of a walk. We took cabs. It might be nice to have 2 old bikes available. I would definitely rent here again.

Mike/Jenn, Thanks for all your help and for taking the time to chat. It was a pleasure and hopefully the Luv Cottage will be around next year to rent! Very homey cottage. Great views down to the bay and wonderful proximity to the pier (just a few steps down the hill) Great neighbors who own are around us - they were very friendly. The cottage has an old time feel, lots of character. We would, and hope to, rent her again. The owner is nice and helpful.

I appreciate the thoroughness of the rental information from the rental agreement to the "Things to do" listing at the cottage. The Guest Book had more than enough information to answer any questions that we had during our stay and it was comforting to know that these answers were at our fingertips, when needed.

Rosehill Cottage is fabulous!! It was clean when we arrived and I could move right in! This is first time I have ever rented and been able to do so! The kitchen has everything you would need with all the "comforts of home". The beds were comfortable for a couple of people who usually don't sleep the first night anywhere! The decor was soothing and hours on the porch with the gentle breeze will be missed. We appreciate the care that went into preparing the home for our visit. We appreciate you opening your home to us. The thought and care that you put into furnishing every room did not go unnoticed. We have never had such a comfortable and enjoyable stay! Thank you for your hospitality.
