Stunning

This girls trip was fantastic! Mills cottage is in a central location for everything we wanted to visit. The view out into the bay was awesome, each mornings sunrise was breath taking. One thing to keep in mind if you plan to visit Maine is that they do not have plastic or paper bags at stores without a fee, so bring in you own! Thank you Doreen for offering up such a wonderful and beautiful place.

Peaceful and comfortable stay

A very quiet location early October-nature and views. Not too many folks around in surrounding cottages, just here and there. Fantastic! Doreen responded to our texts. The cottage was spotless. My 4th VRBO and the cleanest. Nice and bright. Comfy furniture throughout including deck. loved the gas heater downstairs. Also small one upstairs if needed. Very well equipped. Even the outlets were in easily accessible places. Many practical things throughout cottage. Nice ocean views from everywhere but front bedroom (small and adorable). The upstairs was ideal. We didn't have pets but saw doggie supplies. My first time kayaking (bucket list) but the local kayak fella was closed for the season. So grateful that Mitch from Midcoast Kayak supplied us for the week with kayaks/vests/whistles including delivery from Damariscotta! Gave us tips and demos and had us demo back for safety. Very appreciative. There are 2 sets of stairs to little sandy beach areas when tide is out. Very manageable for 2 people to bring kayaks down the steps and set out from the cottage into Very nice place to stay and hope to return. Thank you
