Perfect week at Drift Inn Cottage! Our only regret is that the days passed much too quickly- and that there were not enough of them.
The thoughtful and delightful décor, very comfortable furnishings, attractive architecture, the beautiful gardens, the private location yet with easy access to a lovely beach, and the spectacular views – this property was more than a dream come true for our first stay in Maine. From our travels in Scandinavia, this property recalled a blend of Nordic and nautical elements that we greatly admire. The hosts are remarkably generous with the many amenities they’ve entrusted to temporary travelers. Previous reviews have summarized Drift Inn Cottage accurately and better than I can!
Fantastic views right from the beautiful back porch, beverage in hand, watching the sparkling, ever-changing waters, blue or moody skies, even a double rainbow our last evening. Lobster boats in the distance. Lobster buoys bobbing colorfully and brilliant in the late afternoon sun. Hypnotic sounds of the waves on shore, backyard and shore birds doing their thing, a wonderful breeze rustling through the trees. It’s all here! Incredibly relaxing and restorative. Exactly what we needed!
Loved spending time on the rocks and the clean sands of Drift Inn Beach, exploring picturesque Port Clyde Harbor, postcard-perfect Marshall Point lighthouse, enjoying Port Clyde Bakery’s strawberry-rhubarb pie, lunch at wonderful McLoon’s Lobster Shack, and maritime exploration with the Puffin and Nature Cruise out of Port Clyde.
So many more activities to experience and places to see that we just didn’t have time for. I hope we can return in the future to pick up where we left off!! To our hosts, The Deans, -Thanks for the magic!!
With great memories and deep gratitude,
Athena, Tracy, Ingrid and Paula
