My family of 5 – (3 teenagers) has been coming to Seanook for the past 9 summers!
This we all look forward to every year. It is the simple things that combine to make big things. The location is perfect. Waking up in the morning to the sounds of the water all around is a treat. You can kayak, fish, and swim right off the dock. Linekin Bay sunsets are breathtaking! It is a peaceful place and has become our happy place. It will soon be yours too.
Paradise Cottage is aptly named. We just returned from a week there and had a wonderful time. Mary Ellen has curated an excellent vacation home. The gardens and natural elements surrounding the cottage are spectacular. Unlike many places, the pictures you see on the website are exactly what you find in Paradise Cottage. Mary Ellen is a great host and can provide recommendations on things to do, see, and where to eat. We will be back.
Read moreImagine a cottage perched atop perennial gardens surrounded by woods, with a view of Linekin Bay from the deck….that is Paradise Cottage! My husband and I enjoyed a week of beautiful July weather, sunrise and sunset on the deck, cooking in the small but very well equipped kitchen and listening to birds sing and water lap the rocks. Cozy and comfortable with all of the creature comforts, the cottage is on a very quiet street and sits above the road with views of the water and privacy. Floor to ceiling windows and doors throughout the cottage bring the outside in, and provide easy access to the generously sized deck. Close to surrounding towns and attractions, our “home base” fit our lifestyle perfectly. Thank you Mary Ellen for the great suggestions! We highly recommend Paradise Cottage and can’t wait to return!
Read moreWe stayed at Seanook for a week in late August/early September. It was just what we needed to calm our frayed nerves from months of hibernation. We could feel the stress melt away from the moment we sat on the porch overlooking the water that first evening, An added bonus was a gorgeous sunset from that spot – actually over several evenings. Coffee in the sunroom each morning was a charming way to start the day as we watched the fishing boats depart.
The kitchen is well equipped to handle meals cooked there or take in. I enjoyed meals from the grill that I didn’t have to prepare😋
We enjoyed our chats with Ron and Mary Ellen as we learned of good hikes and sightseeing spots and the best places to get “lobstah.” Truly a delightful stay. We look forward to a repeat visit.

Read moreA very welcomed time of renewal and nurturing of our souls this November as we spent several days at Seanook. The home was spotless with very creative touches throughout to include a sense of bringing nature inside with many different plants.
The ebb and flow of the bay was mesmerizing ; it was easy to get lost in ones thoughts sitting on one of the many porches or the sunroom sipping a cup of morning coffee.
Beautiful hikes are so accessible; each day we explored several of the nearby preserves.
A very special place indeed!
Seanook is pure bliss. There is nowhere like it in the world. We visited in the midst of the cold Maine winter and it was utterly magical. It is clean, cozy, peaceful and breathtakingly beautiful. Mary Ellen and Ron are so welcoming and warm. If you get the chance to book Seanook, don’t miss it.
Read moreThank you for your hospitality. We have felt very welcome and comfortable here and have tried to enjoy as many different vistas as possible! This is a relaxing and tranquil venue which all can appreciate. Excellent walks locally!
Read moreThe three musketeers arrived at 5:30pm after driving through heavy rain and hail from NH. We ate a wonderful dinner with champagne, then to the hot tub. One of us forgot a bathing suit so we all went in our underwear under lightening-filled skies. Friday we had a wine tasting then went to Boothbay Harbor – great buys. Came back and had a scotch tasting. Saturday we went to Ocean Point for a picnic. Incredible! Excellent! Thank you, Ron and Mary Ellen.
Read moreWhen I get out of the car from my three hour drive to Seanook from NH, it is truly like coming home. There is everything here one needs for rest, peace, and true downtime. Ron and Mary Ellen are the model hosts who have made every one of my stays rich, warm, memorable, and worth all the effort to get here. By the end of 2013, I will have been here 5 times. Can’t think of anywhere else I would rather be!
Read moreWe’ve just spent our 3rd weekend at Seanook, the second one in 2013. Once again we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It now feels to us like we’re “coming home” to Seanook. Ron and Mary Ellen add so much to that experience. The weather was a little non-cooperative this time, but despite the blustery winds and occasional rain, we had a lot of sunshine, stunning sunsets, and crisp, clear nights with amazing stars! We were blown away by the number of flowers still in full bloom along with the vivid colors of fall foliage. We love it here and we will be back.
