Magnifique chalet donnant sur Belfast Harbor.

What an unexpected surprise! Although the owner provided a very accurate description of the house, his words didn’t describe how clean, cozy and convenient his home-away-from-home is. The place was absolutely spotless. Everyone in our party of 4 seniors felt comfortable immediately.

Belfast is a beautiful little village with a lot of things to do. My personal favorite was to take a brisk morning walk over the footbridge that crosses the area where the Penobscot River meets the bay. We would then walk along the waterfront filled with lovely sailboats and wind up at a great little downtown diner for breakfast.

The village has a wide variety of restaurants, but to be honest, if you want to get the true taste of Maine, call Young’s Lobster Pound, (just 4 minutes away from the rental) order your lobster, (they cook them for you) bring them back to the house, lay out the nice dining table there, and along with some great bread and a glass or two of local wine, enjoy a wonderful dining experience.

We have stayed in many well-stocked VRBO units over the years, but never before have we been provided band-aids, dental floss, shaving cream, makeup remover, and huge plush towels, along with the usual shampoos and body gels. This is just one example of the attention the owners pay to the comfort of their guests.

Although we never met the owner, he phoned to see that we got settled in on our arrival and followed up with some short calls to see how we were doing. Thanks, Dennis, for a great stay in your home. Only one thing - you need a couple more tools to crack the lobster claws!

This is a great central location to everything up and down the coast. The house is well equipped and super clean. Sheets/beds/pillows very comfy. Loved the walk over the water into town. The ONLY drawback is that it is right on Route 1 and you can hear a lot of cars/trucks/traffic on the weekdays. It would not prevent me from booking again though- was super easy access to get to everything, including grocery store, etc. Dennis was super easy to work with and flexible on our arrival/departure time as well. Was a great trip.

We had a terrific visit. The Kelleher's beautiful cottage was the perfect central location and comfortable home-base for our exploration of Maine's mid-coast. The house is spacious yet cozy with two decks to relax on and enjoy the harbor views. Every attention to detail shows around the house. It's tastefully decorated and well stocked from the living areas to the kitchen to the bathrooms. As my sister commented, "They must be readers because the bedside lamps are actually tall enough to read by!"

Belfast is a charming town with a beautiful harbor - not so touristy as other towns along the coast. We had a really delicious vegetarian meal at Chase's Daily and afterward bought the fixings for a wonderful dinner salad at their produce market located right in the restaurant! At the opposite end of the spectrum we enjoyed a great burger at Rollie's one night.

Thanks for helping make our first visit to Maine special!

We stayed 4 nights in September 2018. The house was spotless and well furnished with dining and kitchen utensils. Location is conveniently located about a half mile walk across a footbridge to Belfast, where there are several excellent restaurants. This property was perfect for our visits to Camden and Rockland to the south and Acadia and Bar Harbor to the north. I highly recommend.

We (myself, my wife, and 2 kids) enjoyed a wonderful stay at Dennis' cottage overlooking Belfast Harbor. The cottage's location, although near the main road, made for easy access up and down mid-coast Maine. We ranged as far south as Owl's Head and as far north as Bucksport, and were able to enjoy a number of the attractions in the area, including Fort Knox, the Penobscot Narrows Observatory, Belfast Harbor, Camden, Rockport, Rockland, and Birches Point State Park. Also, who can forget being able to walk across the footbridge, which we took advantage of almost daily to enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Dennis and Jim made our stay comfortable and quickly remedied the few issues we faced. Dennis also provided helpful suggestions for area dining venues which we took advantage of (e.g., Camden Deli and great view on 2nd floor deck). The kids didn't want to leave towards the end of the week and we would definitely look forward to returning again!
