Robinson's Cottages

We have stayed here twice now in Sept 2022 and Oct 2024 and we love it. We stayed in cottage 2 both times and it feels more remote than it actually is. So peaceful and quiet, however while you might feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, in reality there is plenty of civilisation nearby. Kind of a perfect balance of quiet and convenience really. The cottage is clean and well maintained. There was plenty of firewood even in early Oct when it was barely needed. I'd like to say we'll be back for a third visit, but it is a very long way from home! Here's hoping. Thanks Teresa and Bill.

Cozy and clean!! Very welcoming people, look forward to returning when I'm in the area! secluded in a wooded area, yet close to most everything you need, restaurants and stores and the scenery is absolutely beautiful!! next time I'm brining the fishing pole !!

Weit zurück liegend von der Straße im Wald an einem Bach gelegen liegen die einzelnen, wahrscheinlich selbst gebauten Blockhütten. Es gab ein riesiges Wohnzimmer mit Kamin und Sofas, eine voll eingerichtete, gut ausgestattete Küche, Kaffee, Tee, Zucker vorhanden. Große von Fliegengitter geschützte Terrasse zum Fluss hin. 2 Schlafzimmer, eins mit Doppelbett, 1 mit zwei Einzelbetten. Im Mai war es noch sehr frisch nachts. Neben dem Kamin gibt es auch eine Gasheizung die sehr schnell Wärme erzeugt. Bad mit Dusche. Überall Elektrizität und, entgegen den Ankündigungen stabiles super WIFI. Eine traumhafte Unterkunft. Hier kann man gut zu mehreren Zeit verbringen. Wir waren viel zu kurz hier. Mit 100 Dollar mehr als fairer Preis. Gastgeber haben wir nur kurz gesehen, sehr freundlich.

We camped for the weekend at the tent site and it could not have been any better. Lovely spot, plenty of space and fit our huge tent, had everything we needed. You are right between the river and the pond and may use the canoes and kayaks to explore both, which is really what made our weekend so much fun. We woke up each morning listening to a pileated woodpecker which was really cool, even got to see him flying over us. There is a fire pit with a grate you can put over top to cook on and plenty of firewood. Swimming and fishing were great, the people were nice, and everywhere you look is beautiful.

The cabin was rustic, atmospheric with nice vistas all about. alternately, we found it a little dark and musty, but that’s the price for something of such historic character, and thus somewhat neutralized. A fall season's considerable negative is that the only source of heat was not well planned. We were cold! The firewood was inadequately seasoned including starter wood. To leave us so little paper and no starter boosts made the task too difficult and we gave up. (I’d cut 11 cords annually for many years, and am very used to firewood.) We found the wife a bit disengaging, to a point where we learned after the fact that the husband we saw twice (but never met) had helped other folks with fire starter material, etc. Another time of year or more attentive preparation would probably have worked a little better, but there is much to like despite these oddities.

The location was quiet and the cabin was clean and comfortable. It is within 30 minutes to some of our favorite Downeast spots like Eastport, Quoddy Head Lighthouse, and Jasper Beach. We will definitely stay again.
