It was a wonderful stay at the artist retreat cottage. Three couples gathered to enjoy the coast of Maine - Tamson's home was a comfortable, cozy and great location! It was a steamy, humid start to our week and required all fans going strong (plenty of fans, no a/c). Cousins Island is dreamy in the summertime and we hope to be back.

Maine has been our "go-to" fall vacation, and especially as we've stayed here on Cousin's Island for about 4-5 times. Not only is the property amazing (cozy & charming house with breathtaking views, privacy, close to an incredible town, Yarmouth, and 30" from Portland) but the owner, Tamson, has been so incredibly generous and hospitable we've developed a friendship over our love for Maine, New-England in general, and travels/more. We can't speak more highly of our stay!

A magical cottage close enough to Portland and surrounding areas so that everything is convenient. But you won’t want to leave. The view from the house is enchanting. Cousins Island is beautiful with water every way you turn. The night sky and general quiet of the area are amazing. Plus, one could spend days just looking at all the artwork in the house.
Tamson is a wonderful host, friendly and energetic. She made sure we knew about events going on in Yarmouth during our visit, provided restaurant recommendations, and made us feel at home. Plus, she’s right next door and so always available.
Note: Some of the furniture in the current set of photos has been moved to different rooms, and there is much more outdoor furniture than shown. With so many places to sit outside, it’s easy to spend the day moving from sun to shade and back again a few of times without sitting in the same place.

If you are open to being in a home next door to a construction project, than this is the right spot for you. In spite of requests dating back to November of 2021 to confirm that construction would be completed by the time of our visit, there was a stone mason (with noise cancelling headphones), a tractor, painting, and wood clearning all happening during our stay. We have video footage. Tamson was accomodating in that we left early as is this was not the retreat we expected though we would have expected a full refund for the days that we were onsite with construction (which did not occur). Also note that the artist cottage is actually the "post office" for the neighbors so if your vision is to work in the space, you will be overlooking a port-a-potty and not in a private location. We were also told that there was a community event being hosted by a "neighbor" which was actually an event hosted by Tamson which resulted in a full-day event next-door, followed by an estate sale.

We were at the Artist Cottage for a week in early September. The cottage itself is charming and decorated perfectly with original art and practical antiques. The beds were very comfortable. The location is beautiful with inspiring views of Costco Bay. Our host was friendly and thoughtful. A perfect week to relax!

Tamsin is a gracious and responsive host with a well appointed cottage. The proximity to Portland, Brunswick, and Bath gave us ample touring options. Hiking and kayaking from the property are easy and fun. You will enjoy your stay.

Perfect stay for our annual fall trip. The accommodations were spectacular. Right on the water and extremely quiet. Tamson was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Will be back again!
