I love this property (my grandfather built it and I grew up there). Our stay, which is an annual event, was great, even though the weather wasn't spectacular. My favorite feature is the view from the front porch!

I love the Jones Cottage. I think this was our 5th summer there. The best part is the view and then the warmth of the cottage.
I would buy this cottage in a second if the owner ever wanted to sell!

I have found On the Water in Maine to be very responsive the very few times we had minor issues. I think they run a tight ship, with the result that problems are few and far between.
Property
This is my 4th visit to the Jones cottage and it is always a delight , particularly since I grew up there. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, although I think the bed in the small pink room could use a foam topper or something similar - that bed is extremely hard. As a cook I especially appreciate how well the house is supplied with all manner of implements and pots and pans.

My favorite feature is sitting on the porch looking at all the boat traffic and the glorious view. During our stay, we had a full moon leaving a reflective trail over the water - just spectacular! On an administrative level, as a renter and as a cook, I really appreciate the extraordinarily well equipped kitchen, which has just about any pan or implement one could wish for.

We are hardly typical, having once owned the property, but we had an absolutely wonderful time! All the changes the Owner has made are definitely for the better. We had as guests 3 old college friends who had been there 52 years ago, just before we graduated, and they too truly enjoyed seeing it again. Favorite features: the new stairs and the comfy armchairs - not to mention the wonderful shower!
