Summary: The Forge was everything we'd hoped for — comfortable and quiet with beautiful views of the Camden hills. We shared the fields with deer and a hunting hawk, an expanse of glowing goldenrod and milkweed. Schooners and sailboats crisscrossed the water, sunsets were amazing and the fireplace was welcome on cool evenings. Stars down to the horizon. Just perfect.

Summary: The entire island experience was a beautiful one- from the ferry ride in, to getting ourselves oriented at the lovely Waterman's community center downtown, to finally arriving at the cottage. I highly recommend getting the map they provide at Waterman's. It allowed us to find our way around the island with ease. The cottage was as described and very comfortable. It offered easy access to the beach- across the road and down over the bank.The store is close by and well stocked. We will make sure we use that more next time we visit instead of dragging everything over with us on the ferry. Overall, it was a great location with stunning views. The owners are right next door and other family are nearby to assist with getting around. We appreciated having a washer and dryer with two little ones who often found themselves covered in something. Cleaning ourselves was easy and saved us some money. I would be careful if you have pet allergies. We don't have any animals, but often found ourselves covered in pet hair from previous visitors. I will bring a lint roller for pet hair removal upon a future visit. We were grateful for the experience and the very reasonable rates.

Summary: We had a terrific experience at The Forge, a cottage and setting with a timeless feel. Our host was very responsive and flexible and there was nothing we lacked for cooking, housekeeping and general enjoyment of the lovely, expansive property. It was easy to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the island and a simpler life than the one we left behind.

Summary: As promised, a rustic setting, that's quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful views and unforgettable sunsets overlooking Penobscot Bay and the mainland can take your breath away.

Summary: Maine in early June is a bit of a gamble due to the weather. House was exactly as promised (we've stayed there before). But it isn't the warmest house in could weather. We enjoyed our stay.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at The Forge! The little cottage was the perfect escape from the city in the summer and we are very grateful to Bouzha for having us and being very communicative. Our favorite aspect of the cabin was the east and west porches which were perfect for chasing the shade (or sun!). From foggy mornings to bluebird afternoons, we felt really close to nature with windows open the whole time except for the occasional downpour. The private beach is just a short hike and you have a view to the north unlike any other. And, when things got chilly, we cozied up by the fire. Since we were unable to take time off, we were grateful the wifi was strong enough to power us 9-5. Across the island, our cell service was spotty, but overall we felt totally connected even though we were in a rustic setting. Other notes about staying on North Haven that do not necessarily relate to this property but may be helpful when preparing to get there (just in case I'm not the only one who struggles with planning head): - Book your ferry trip as soon as you can! Since check-in to The Forge is at 2, the midday ferry out of Rockland is your best bet. On the other side of the trip, checkout at 10am so the second ferry out of North Haven was also good timing. We killed time reading on the beach in between (check out the various Nature preserves and also Mullen Head Park). If you do not book your ferry trip to the island, be sure to show up early to the ferry terminal in Rockland. People park their cars overnight in line so there's really no such thing as being there "too early." - Join the private North Haven Facebook group before you go to the island as it may take several days for you to be accepted by a moderator. People regularly post things from hours of operation to extra ferry tickets and it's a very reliable hub of information. - Hours and days of operation of farms, restaurants, and businesses are all over the place, especially coming out of the pandemic so do as much planning ahead as possible. - Kitchen gear is eclectic but mostly stocked and we were pleasantly surprised with the offerings on the Island's one grocery. We marketed in Rockland but wished we'd done more of our food shopping on island given all farmstands. - North Haven was our puppy's idea of paradise but the ticks are no joke so be prepared to do regular checks!

Summary: Bouzha's place is definitely a gem. The view is spectacular. The house was just the right size for our family of 2 adults, an 11-month old and our dog. Beautiful morning light and gorgeous sunsets in the evening. The house was somewhat rustic but comfortable and equipped with just about everything we could need. We thoroughly enjoyed the beach. Our little one loved playing with the smooth stones and high tide made for perfect swimming conditions. As others have mentioned, ticks are increasingly an issue on the island, so be aware. Overall we had a great time and would love to come back!
