Guest Testimonials

 "Wow, what a wonderful time we had! This beautiful cottage was exactly what we needed.  The views are incredible and the amenities are so convenient. We stayed here at Bright View Cottage for  a couple of weeks in September. The weather was lovely and the surrounding  environment was peaceful. We spent a lot of our time lounging on the main deck,  observing the ocean and the wildlife. At nighttime the second level deck is an  incredible place to view the stars. We played sports on the surrounding lawn and  took walks (and swam!) at the nearby beaches. Great place for bike riding and  jogging as there is little to no traffic. We were able to cook every meal at the  cottage with a very well equipped kitchen. We especially loved having access to  the extensive library both up and downstairs-lots of classics! Overall a  fantastic place to reset and take it slow."

  Bright View Cottage is a great scenic spot for a relaxing family weekend away. Pictures do not do this location justice!

  A Hidden Gem
Red Head Retreat is remote enough to make you feel as though you "got away" and close enough to historic attractions and pristine beaches to guarantee a terrific stay rain or shine. I chose this cottage for my ability to bring my pets and for its proximity to the shore line. I would come back in a heart beat. The open concept and decor are modern and homey. The beds and furniture are comfortable. There are snowshoe hares, deer and even porcupines to keep you entertained. I was warned about ticks which are many this year. I simply made sure my cats had the proper treatments and kept an eye on their fur. We had no mishaps. Minor thoughts of improvement would be a fan in the master bedroom, additional outdoor chairs and a supply of fresh chopped wood. Everything else was wonderful. Thank you to Sandy Lane for your attention to detail and to the owner for sharing their cottage.

Our week at the cottage was a wonderful peaceful experience, with an abundance of wildlife, fabulous views.  Deer wandering into the garden being a highlight for all.
