Birchwood Cottage est parfait comme une base pour explorer tout ce que le littoral du Maine a Ă offrir ou comme un endroit pour s'asseoir et profiter des couchers de soleil spectaculaires sur la baie de Casco.
The hosts could not have been nicer! Always got right back to me w/ any questions I had. This was such a charming place to stay and it had everthing we needed. Such a quiet and peaceful street and we enjoyed sitting on the deck looking out at Castco Bay! We even used the BBQ twice! I would love to stay here again! T
What a happy and welcoming place to stay. The decor and colors were a perfect compliment to the seaside setting. The town of Yarmouth wss so beautiful and our stay was vey peaceful. Nearby Ft. William park was magnificent and we had fun in Portland. We definitely want to return.

Great property and location!
Perfect location with easy drives to Portland and Freeport. Lovely views and the cottage had everything you needed. Amy, the owner, was great to communicate with and when the GPS told us the property was on the left side of the road, vs the right, I quickly was able to get a hold of her. (It was dark so we couldn't see the numbers clearly!) Would recommend staying, especially during the warmer months when you can take full advantage of the beautiful deck.
We were in town for a trade show which was cancelled. We decided to get away any way. The cottage is bright and cheerful, very clean and new. It was just the ticket for these trying times with Covid 19 . We were able to read and relax. Thanl you for sharing oyur cottage with us. Be well and healthy!
This lovely cottage is in a perfect setting for a retreat! Pristine location, very clean and nicely appointed, well stocked with nice supplies, comfortable bed with great linens, thick towels.... all was great. Amy was always quick to respond to questions and even offered extra time to check out. She even left a few lights on for us since we were arriving after dark. Close to many fun and interesting sights and activities. We would definitely stay here again if we are back in Maine.
This was the perfect rental to take walks with our daughter and dog, go sight seeing, enjoy the water views and just a short commute to Portland. The home was sparkling clean, stocked with everything we needed and has the most beautiful views of the water.
My husband and I loved the solitude and sunsets! We walked the beach with family and slept like babies in the quiet, comfortable rooms after full shopping days in Freeport and Portland.
The few times we had questions, we got answers immediately. Would stay here again without hesitation.
We loved Birchwood Cottage the moment we walked in. It was warm and welcoming and just wonderful being able to see the water from the front windows. We were concerned that the property might be too small for 3 adults and a dog but we were pleasantly surprised. We had plenty of room for all of us and never felt cramped. Weâve been renting various cottages in Maine over the years and, for its size, this one rates at the top. Amy was wonderful to work with both before, during and after. The location on Cousins Island was great. We were able to easily travel to Kennebunkport, Portland, Freeport and Brunswick. Wish we could have stayed longer than 2 weeks!!
Visited Yarmouth for a week with my husband, one year old and golden. Amy was extremely communicative. The property is clean and everything was provided. Very quiet and secluded but close to town. Amazing sunsets off the porch. Would love to come back.
Very well maintained, charming Maine cottage with views of Casco Bay. Appropriate for a couple, or young family with small kids. All systems are up to date, including kitchen with D/W; washer/dryer, and heat.
The cottage is cute and practical. It was perfect for the two nights that we were in Maine for a wedding. I didnât give 5 stars for the location because I really canât speak to the qualities of Cousins Island as we had no time to explore, but the view from the cottage to the bay is very pretty. The owner went out of her way to be helpful, managing to get an ironing board for me to use, which we greatly appreciated. She also made it possible for a friend to drop food off for us as we were arriving very late at night after everything g was closed. So all in all, a great stay and great host.
Four adults stayed here for memorial weekend. It was perfect. I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting this area. It was in a great location too, outside of the city but plenty close enough to get to where we wanted to visit in Portland, Freeport and Reid state park.
My husband and I visited this cottage and had a wonderful stay. We loved how updated the place was and so cozy. The decorating style is very nice and the exterior surroundings were well taken care of. The location is perfect to many retail and outdoor adventures! The view is outstanding. Communication with Amy was super and made the renting process a breeze! I highly recommend this cottage.
We stayed at Birchwood Cottage for a week! It is very warm and welcoming! Great views off of the deck. Maine weather not so welcoming...WiFi and Netflix a plus for being indoors! Amy, our hostess, is GREAT! Flexible and very Helpful, especially with things to do in the area and locally! Thank You for Everything :D
We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The cozy house had everything we needed and was very visually appealing. We also enjoyed the sun and sunsets through the big windows!
We loved our short stay at Birchwood Cottage. Comfy, cozy, clean and welcoming. Great location for beaches, trails , shopping, and restaurants. Would love to visit during a warmer season. Thank you Amy! Paul & Kim
We stayed here for a few days over the Thanksgiving holiday while we visited family in the area. The pictures do not do it justice! This cottage is spacious and perfect! It was extremely clean, everything worked perfectly, convenient, and an absolutely amazing view. I wish I could have stayed longer! The hosts were wonderful and extremely easy to work with. I loved it! Don't hesitate and book it now!

Perfect location
The cottage was clean and well stocked. The water view was wonderful. The area was perfect for a quite and peaceful vacation.
We stayed at Birchwood Cottage for a long weekend. It was clean, comfortable, and quiet. It was a perfect size for the two of us. The views of the water were outstanding; we saw two gorgeous sunsets! Unfortunately, it was quite cold so we didn't get to sit on the beautiful deck overlooking the water. Amy was very accommodating of our early arrival, and was very responsive when we had a question or two.
The location was good in that it was outside of the town of Yarmouth, yet it only took 5 or so minutes to drive there. We loved the causeway between "our" island and the mainland.
If you need a recommendation for breakfast, the bagels at Maples bakery were FABulous!
Great property and pretty water views. It was clean and had everything we needed to make it a comfortable stay. My husband and I were visiting the area for an anniversary trip. Amy was quick to respond to all my questions. Although we didn't spend a lot of time at the cottage, it was a good central location to come back to. Will definitely have to visit in the warmer months to enjoy the outside deck.
My 3 friends and I stayed in the cottage for a long weekend and had the best time. Everything was well done, tidy and so cute! We had a lot of fun sitting on the porch and enjoying the view as well as sitting around the table playing games. Anything we needed was available to us and the place left us wanting nothing. Overall it was a really awesome experience. Thank you to Amy for being such a great host!
My husband Pete and I live in Yarmouth with our 2 kids. Pete is a local builder and I own a bookstore on Main Street in Yarmouth called Royal River Books.
We have always dreamed of having a cottage on the water. Pete had his eye on this property for years and finally had the opportunity to purchase it in early 2017. We spent most of the year renovating and furnishing the cottage. We use it for special occasions and visiting family and friends.
We live right over the bridge if guests have any problems with the property. Pete did the renovations and has been a builder for over 20 years. Pete and I are both from the area and are happy to help with any suggestions or questions about southern Maine.
