It is a nice quiet location. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evening porch having dinner. The area around the quarry for swimming was great to have. The space is tight, but has lots of sunlight and with the orientation of the house, the bedroom gets morning sun and the sunset can be seen at night.

Small but comfortable

Lovely location - quarry is very cool and peaceful. Cottage well made and though small, all that we really required. Bed was comfortable, shower commodious. Could easily have walked to town, but great location - near town but quiet.

Cute & Clean

Nothing but great things to say about this property. It’s basically a super cute, tiny house with a great layout. The property was very clean, stocked with the basics you need and not far from town. Also had great communication with the owner/manager along the way. Will definitely stay again!

The house is in like-new condition and the location is quiet but still near Carver's Harbor. Bodwell is not at the edge of the quarry, but a short walk away.

It was wonderful to return to Vinalhaven and see very old friends. The location was perfect, a short bike ride from downtown. The story of the cabins and the family is very touching. We stayed in Bodwell and it was perfect: a little kitchen, a little living room, very nice bathroom and a bedroom. We couldn't have been happier with the accommodations. And our friends who ave a place on Vinal haven said they were going to tell their friends about it.
