We had a great week in this rental. It was a little hard to find because no house number was visible. Once you turn into Sixth Ave. it is the last cabin on the right. There are a few other cabins nearby; the neighbors we met were friendly and helpful, and it still felt private. The cabin itself was great - beautiful and roomy deck, large and fully stocked kitchen with a dishwasher :) and even a bluetooth speaker we could use. The bed was very comfortable and the shower fine. We brought our Firestick for the TV and it worked, but were too busy or exhausted after a day of hiking or kayaking to use it. Mike asked that we vacuum and wash/fold sheets and towels (W&D in the cabin worked well) before leaving, which was easy and quick. Renters are also asked to take the trash and recycling to the dump station, which was also easy once we found it. The facility is called MidCoast Solid Waste in Rockport (not Rockland) and it's amazingly well organized. Keep your recyclables separated into cans, glass, paper etc.. We used paper bags from buying stuff at the local supermarket, Hannafords. Trash should be put into the yellow prepaid trash bag (easily fits one week's worth) in the kitchen drawer.
The cabin was in a great location. Pitcher Pond is just beautiful - we heard/saw loons morning and evening, and plenty of ospreys when we were there. There is a put-in you can use at the end of the gravel road the cabin is on - it was about a 100 yard walk from the cabin, easy for transporting our kayaks. Camden and Belfast are each only about 15-20 minutes away and fun for walking around. Camden Hills State Park had great hikes and views. Hannaford supermarkets are in both towns and not too far. There's a small convenience store in Lincolnville. The best discovery is at the end of N. Cobbtown Rd, where it intersects with Rt. 52 there's an 'honor system' farm stand you can walk into, not staffed, with amazing organic produce, baked goods and meats, where you can pay with a credit card or cash.
Our dogs had a great time, too. Sixth Ave is basically a short gravel cul de sac, opening onto N. Cobbtown Rd with is also a dead end road, so there were great options for quiet dog walks in either direction (there's a tree farm at the "dead" end of the road with rare trucks, so I recommend keeping dogs on lead).
Mike is a great landlord, easy to reach, and there is also a property manager close by. We would definitely return to this rental.
