Charming South Bristol Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Cozy, private, and beautifully situated near the banks of the Damariscotta River, the Charming South Bristol Cottage offers the quintessential Maine experience in one of the Midcoast's loveliest towns. In the same family since 1947, this home is a wonderful place to make memories, whether you're curled up by the fire in the mornings and evenings, watching the waves crash at Pemaquid Point, walking in South Bristol and Christmas Cove, or picking up lobster fresh from the boats in town. It's the way life should be!

What's nearby:
South Bristol is a classic Maine town - an active lobstering village with friendly, welcoming people and stunning vistas. You'll experience the relaxing intimacy of a small town with access to plenty of tourist sites and activities, including kayaking, hiking, fishing, charter boat tours, shopping, and dining close by. You can pick up incredibly fresh lobster at the South Bristol Fisherman's Co-op half a mile east, take a dip in the brisk waters of Pemaquid Beach 11 miles east, or enjoy a beautiful day trip to Camden, Boothbay Harbor, or Monhegan Island.

Nice cabin, but...
The River View house/ cabin is spacious and has many nice features. When we arrived the inside of the cabin was very clean but the two older bedrooms with the twin beds and especially the bunk bed room smelled musty. Even with opening all the windows that didn't go away especially in the bunk room. The sheets were clean but wonder if the bedding/quilts had been washed in a while?? Same with the master bedroom bedding. The wrap around porch had not been swept at all. It is a great space but I had to wipe down all the furniture and sweep everything. It is a great space and should have been part of the cleaning process. (I didn't sweep the side deck.) The wifi does not work. The instruction's seem old and the network does not come up even when you put it in. The most frustrating thing is that the communication with rental agency is basically nonexistent...it is through Vacassa a rental agency not an owner and was although they said they would get their "local people" on the wifi no one reached out even when I spoke with the Vacassa a number of times. I should have known when I first asked a couple questions right after renting it. We had a great grandmother and a toddler with us so I asked f there were fans in the house and access to beach chairs. I never got a response. (When I got there I found there plenty of fans, but had brought a bulky one with m as I never got and answer, but it looked like beach equipment was locked up in the shed.

Charming Maine Cottage
This property is quintessentially Maine. Beautifully maintained, great South Bristol location. Spacious and loaded with charm. It is evident that the owners are proud to share their cottage and family history. Books line the shelves and everywhere you look there is Maine inspired Knick knack.

Lovely home in a lovely spot!
We had a great time at the sweet, clean home. The kitchen is very well stocked, we cooked several nights. We spent our days walking around town and exploring the surrounding peninsulas. It was a fantastic family vacation and we loved the house! I didn’t notice that the listing didn’t mention a washer and dryer. We definitely needed one but the laundromat was pretty close and inexpensive!

Great stay
We had a lovely couple of days at this home. It was spacious and interesting, clean and in a good location although a short drive to any attractions. There were lots of fun decorations and pieces of history in the house which created a lovely ambiance but were not particularly kid friendly.
