  • "It was the perfect place for us to relax and enjoy Maine and our family. The cottage was really nice. We liked the simplicity of it. It wasn't super close to a main city which we liked, but it was close enough to make visiting cities and other sites easy. There is also a few corner stores nearby if you need anything."

Rooted in the Working Waterfront of Midcoast Maine

Hannah and Douglas’s story began where tides, craftsmanship, and care naturally meet. A lifelong lobsterman from Friendship and a Maine-born nurse with a deep love for the ocean, they built their life together alongside Douglas’s wooden lobster boat and fell equally in love with the quiet beauty of Hatchet Cove.
