What our guests are saying about Oar Island

"Wonderful vacation. We started a tradition of breakfast on the rocks outside the Cottage with cold Maine lobster and chardonnay… it was a little early for wine but it made us feel like royalty!"​
Tom, Michigan
​

Such a magical place - and what a beautiful setting for a family vacation. The weather was perfect all week and we couldn't wait to get outside every morning. We also seem to have made friends with the seals - they kept popping up to say hi every time we went out fishing."
Ann, Toronto 
​

"An absolutely fantastic stay on Oar Island. Thanks again for having kept this great place the way it is. We are already discussing plans to rent it out again, with a few friends, and take both houses."
John, New York
​

"It was so relieving to bask, wander, swim, cook, think, read, and laugh - just like the vacations of my childhood. The kids had fun picking mussels from the shore and digging up clams, and we loved the fairy houses. Absolutely perfect."
Giselle, Pennsylvania
