Very Walkable
Great place to stay in Brunswick. Quiet neighborhood. Easily walk to Bowdoin College, restaurants, grocery store, and the train station. Owners are very friendly and had good suggestions of things to see and do. Brunswick is a wonderful town as it offers plenty of things to do and places to eat without feeling "touristy". Bowdoin campus is beautiful with an incredible art museum.

My favorite Brunswick home away from home!
I loved this space! Beautiful, clean, artsy-hippie vibe (in the best possible way), cultured space filled with a piano, comfy furnishings and bed, beautiful artwork, quality touches in the kitchen and all throughout. All of this and a kind, communicative host made for a lovely stay ☺️

Quiet Getaway
This quiet getaway was exactly what my spouse and I needed after a few busy days working our way up the coast of Maine. The community is lovely, the cottage was delightful. Loved that there was a tv but it wasn’t setup, it really allowed us to unplug and relax!

fabulous sunlight- filled retreat
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the quiet suite with newly remodeled, well-appointed kitchen and bath. Who would have guessed this private oasis with its sky lights, vaulted ceiling, & wood- beams that compliment the clean white decor, could exist tucked on a tree-lined stret a couple blocks from Bowdin campus?!? We highly recomend with a 5-star rating from seasoned world travelers!

Sweet serenity
This was such a quick but beautiful trip. The atmosphere was stunning. Very cool decor. My boyfriend and I loved the piano and enjoyed creating some tunes. The location is so close to downtown which made it ideal for shopping. Susan is such a sweet person and made me feel at home. I will definitely come again!

Cutest garage apartment ever
This was some of the best-used space of any rental-by-owner studio/apartment we've stayed at. Very nicely furnished and decorated, super clean. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was handy. The bed was comfortable and the sheets and pillows were nicer than we often encounter. I feel lucky to have found this place and would be happy to stay again any time. Highly recommend!

A Hidden Gem
What a lovely cottage. Close to everything, but tucked away from the busy streets. Lovely landscaping around the property. Beautifully furnished. Comfy bed is always important & that it was. Nice facing sofas for chatting and chilling after a long day of hiking. Bookcase holds fascinating books. Kitchenette has all you need to make your stay comfortable. This was a Mother, Daughter trip and I was so pleased with the accommodations. Owner is super friendly, and helpful. Very kind and just a genuine soul. We hope to visit again in the future.

Relaxation In Brunswick Maine - 2023
Our stay was wonderful. The cottage is very easy to get to. The host was friendly and accommodating. The cottage has just about every thing you could want. It was clean, the furniture was very comfortable. It is very convenient to the great little downtown area, where you'll find good choices of eateries, really nice gift stores. They have market days on the green, where you'll find all kinds of fresh vegetables, flower and much more. The town itself has a lot of culture. We found that people were very friendly and were happy to help with direction and such. Also, you have the public transportation to get around to other locations rather quickly...like Portland, Freeport, Bath, etc. If you are looking for a place to relax, sight see, enjoy a nice selection of restaurants and some really great cafes', then this location is prime. Oh and you can also visit Bowdoin Collage where you'll find music, art, theater and just a nice campus to stroll. This cottage is within walking distance of all the places I mentioned. Again, I want to say how much we loved the cottage, especially after a full day of touring and site seeing. If you do go, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. We will visit there again as we love Maine and we just fell in love with Brunswick. S & J Knauss

Wonderful everything!
Even before we arrived, Susan made us feel welcome. She made checking in very low pressure and simple...we just walked in. At first glance, the cottage seemed quaint and peaceful. Inside, every item is attentively appointed and very tidy. Cleanliness is very important to us and the cottage was absolutely impeccable. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area and I highly recommend it as a comfortable, clean, peaceful, and beautiful rental property.
