A Retreat in the Woods of Maine
We stayed at this property for the month of July and wanted to be located in Harpswell. It was a great location and home for our family of 4. The teenagers where back and forth and did not stay the whole time which helped given it is a one bathroom house but we made it work when they were there. The house is a super convenient location to get to the town of Brunswick and to explore the rest of Harpswell. Being in Cundy's Harbor it is 5 minute drive from Hollbrooks where they server lobster and seafood on the wharf. The yard was heaven for our 2 dogs and we enjoyed the daily visits from the turkeys and all the birds at the feeders. Thanks for sharing your house with us!

Relaxing, in the woods, short distance to coves, ocean, trails
We stayed off-season so it was very quiet and not crowded. This is definitely a different side of much of Harpswell; very wooded. Frequent visitors of wild turkeys and ducks, many birds. Dark skies to view the stars. Small, cozy cabin.

Wonderful Historic Home
This home is absolutely wonderful! It is an older historic home that has been well-maintained and lovingly cared for by the owners, Nat & Holly, both of whom are lovely, charming folks. The living room and kitchen spaces inside are spacious and comfortable. Wood burning fireplace was great during our stay as it was the autumn months when nights can get chilly. Owners provide plenty of wood which is very generous of them. The property grounds are spectacular! Much larger and more expansive than the photos indicate. Plenty of space to walk with my dog. The home is peaceful and private but yet only 20 minutes from downtown Brunswick & Bath and all the shopping areas when you need supplies. I am an experienced vacation home renter and this is definitely one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. I’d give it 10 stars if I could!

The beauty of Harpswell in a lovely setting
So enjoyed our stay at Holly's house, and meeting the owner herself. Can't say enough.

About the host

Hosted by Holly Pulsifer

Host profile image
Our family has been summering in this part of Maine since 1900 and feel so fortunate to be able to spend time in such an authentic, unspoilt and accessible part of the coast. We hope you will come and enjoy it too!

Why they chose this property

This cottage has been in the family for decades and three generations have memories of eating whoopie pies in the kitchen. Hoover the harbor seal even lived in the pond one summer while he was being rehabilitated before moving to the Boston Aquarium.

What makes this property unique

The cottage has a long history and rooms are traditionally small with the exception of the spacious living room. Exposed beams in the second floor bedrooms could be a challenge for tall guests. This is a great house for a family, but may feel tight for adults who intend to stay inside all day (who would want to do that anyway?).
We prepare the cottage for short term rental in the summer, but please inquire if you would like to discuss a longer term rental off season.
