Warm and comfortable, kitchen has everything you'll need, conveniently located, easy walks to downtown and the beautiful harbor, quiet neighborhood, beds were comfortable, porch was an extra bonus especially in the afternoon.
Everything in the cottage was pristine and tastefully appointed. What a great tiny kitchen! And the neighborhood was quiet, yet walkable to the beach and to the great shops and restaurants in downtown Camden. I was sad to leave at the end of our stay but hope to return again soon. Catherine was quite responsive and answered any questions I had very quickly.
Cathy's cottage is absolutely charming. My husband and I spent the week exploring the area and had a wonderful time walking all over town. The location is convenient to shopping, restaurants and parks. We would definitely book again.
Clean and well maintained. Nicely decorated. Very comfortable. Well stocked, modern kitchen. Quiet, convenient location. Short walk to town. Hope to visit again.
My husband and I spent two weeks in this lovely home! Everything was even better than anticipated, SO clean, cozy, amenities galore, the attention to details in the home did not go unnoticed by us, nice neighborhood, and the walk to delightful downtown Camden was quick and beautiful, we will certainly stay here again!
This house was immaculate and very well equipped. Everything you can think of. We had a really cozy comfortable week. Great location, did a lot of walking. Owner was always very responsive.
Had a great stay in Camden for Chrismas. House was located close to everything and in a very quite neighborhood. Dogs had plenty of room out back and enjoyed walking the neighborhood. House is very clean and well maintained. Thank you.
My husband and I stayed in this charming cottage for 16 nights while the floors in our home were being refinished.
The cottage is located in a quiet and friendly neighborhood, within walking distance to downtown Camden. The house is bright, cozy and nicely decorated, with a modern kitchen that is well equipped with anything you could possibly need.
Catherine, the owner, is an exceptional host - very responsive, kind and a joy to work with!! We highly recommend Jacob's Cottage!!
I wanted to take one of my adult kids on a Maine Coastal Vacation with lots of hiking. The Camden state park has lots of great trails and we were willing to make the drive up to Arcadia too. That is about 80 Miles north. The house was fantastic. It is extremely well maintained and vary inviting. It is walking distance from down town which was very handy. The town was quite busy because we were likely peak or near peak "peeper season". It was nice to be able to walk to restaurants and shops. We got lucky, the color was amazing, and we even happened to see the northern lights. If the Camden area is your destination, I would definitely recommend this place.
I stayed solo for about a week and also had my artist mates for a 3 day weekend. The house is small and quaint, bright sunny rooms, and just enough beachy kitsch to make it fun. Just how it should be in Maine. The kitchen works with 2 cooks, but no more. The porch bed is delightful even in April if you like sleeping in cool temps. This house has everything you could possibly need. Laundry machines are incredible and looked brand new. Towels and linens were very nice. Even the magazines and books were things I would read. Only faults were that the beds are memory foam mattresses (which is not my favorite), bedrooms are tiny without drawers for unpacking and some dog hairs stuck in rugs and upholstery. I would 100% stay here again.
This home was more than what we could have asked for! It is a very home feeling VRBO and had everything we needed! Perfect location as it was walking distance to the beach and shops downtown. Would stay here again!
Great winter stay in this lovely cottage! Communication from host was very clear and it had everything we needed. The kitchen especially was really well stocked with spices and condiments, etc. The house was super cozy and warm and had a back yard for our dog. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed our stay in Jacob’s cottage! It was clean, comfortable and close to everything we wanted to do! The neighborhood is so quiet and welcoming. Even in February, we enjoyed walks to the park/beach. Being close to the snow bowl was a perk. My teens lived like locals around Camden since we were close to Zoot coffee, the library and the yarn store. They even joined in the knitting group and got a weekly pass at the YMCA. We enjoyed candlepin bowling nearby and also the billiards were a fun first! I highly recommend this location and this cottage! Catherine was very helpful and quick to answer any questions I had which weren’t many since everything was laid out well in the home and there were easy to follow instructions given at check in.
This cottage fit my needs perfectly. It was well decorated, clean, and very comfortable. It's within walking distance to lovely downtown Camden. The neighbors were quite welcoming.
Very nice well maintained house in a quiet neighborhood just a 10 minute walk to the town center. Very well stocked with supplies and includes a washer and dryer. Lots to do in the area both outside (hiking) and inside (museums). The best restaurant we went to was Archers on the Pier in Rockland; the best pub was Seadog in Camden town center.
We had a fantastic stay. The house, amenities and supplies were wonderful. Location is perfect and easily walkable to shops, restaurants , parks and beaches. Really nice quite neighborhood and the neighbors are quite friendly. Everything is ready to go for a great stay with no trouble finding anything we needed. Kitchen is well equipped. Catherine is an excellent host, was very responsive and always helpful. Couldn’t be better!!!
We enjoyed a three week stay whilst our home was being remodeled. The cottage is set up with all the comforts of home. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need and we loved a hot bath at the end of our winter day. Catherine is very responsive and kind. We also loved getting to know the neighbors, all very friendly. Mornings and evenings we loved walking our doggie around town and down to the waterfront park. Gorgeous! We would definitely return to this lovely home in the future and recommend it to visitors. Only a short two blocks to shopping, harbor restaurants and the waterfront. Cheers!
My family and I stayed in this lovely little house for the month of December. I grew up in Camden, but live in Nashville with my wife and kids. I was excited to have a winter adventure with the family...and we did! The house was very comfortable for the four of us. I grew up in a house with radiator heat, but the heat in this house is next level, or maybe it's the insulation, either way this house is COZY on the coldest days. Everyone was very comfortable.
Our boys slept in the upstairs room and loved it. There are two queen beds both very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of linens (as well as a washer/ dryer) on site.
The neighborhood is perfectly situated for walks into town and the neighbors themselves are lovely and very welcoming.
Catherine was a delight to deal with we hope to stay here again in the future! I can't say enough good things about this place!
We love Camden and we have loved staying at this house. Easy walk to town and the house was exactly as advertised. I love to cook and the kitchen has everything we needed to prepare meals at home. The owner was responsive to any need we had. I would definitely recommend this property!!!

A cozy cold weather bungalow
I stayed here for three months while attending the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship. It was the perfect choice. It's on a quiet side street near the village that is always plowed. The neighbors are amazing. One day they noticed my car was still in the driveway on a weekday and they checked on me. (Really bad cold that day) I felt very welcome and even decorated for Halloween and Christmas. Cathy, the owner, is very responsive and easy to work with.
The house itself is charming, bright and decorated nicely. The couch, where I spent a lot of my time was very comfortable. I never had a bad night's sleep in the master bedroom. (All the quiet took a little getting used to for this city boy)
One thing that stands out is that I was never ever cold. Radiant heat throughout the house and not a draft to be found. Cozy.
I know no one believes a review without at least one nit pick. Honestly the only one that I can come up with is that I wish the sink faucet had a spray attachment. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and was surprised how much I missed it.
This is a property I would definately return to.

Perfect Camden Cottage
My family stayed in this quaint little house for a month and it was the perfect spot. The neighbors are incredibly friendly, the house is well kept and clean, and the location is central to downtown camden, the harbor and the beach. We hope to stay here again in the future. Thank you, Cathy, for sharing your lovely home with us. It’s a month we will never forget.
