The house is in like-new condition and the location is quiet but still near Carver's Harbor. Bodwell is not at the edge of the quarry, but a short walk away.

Small but comfortable

Lovely location - quarry is very cool and peaceful. Cottage well made and though small, all that we really required. Bed was comfortable, shower commodious. Could easily have walked to town, but great location - near town but quiet.

Cute & Clean

Nothing but great things to say about this property. It’s basically a super cute, tiny house with a great layout. The property was very clean, stocked with the basics you need and not far from town. Also had great communication with the owner/manager along the way. Will definitely stay again!
