Brand new charming cottage next to the pristine sandy beaches of Biddeford Pool

Unwind at this brand new, unique and tranquil getaway! Want to feel like you’re in the woods when you’re actually only a mile from the beach? Thistle Pond Cottage is for you. Nestled amongst the pines off route 9 and close to both Fortunes Rocks and Goose Rocks Beach, Thistle Pond is a little slice of heaven on the southern Maine Coastline. A cozy two bedroom overlooking a pond and beautiful gardens, this is the perfect destination to immerse yourself in nature, relax and feel right at home.************Escape to a wonderful 2-bedroom cottage in Biddeford. This adorable retreat features a cozy king bed and two twin beds, perfect for a small group of guests. With 3 bathrooms equipped with all the essentials, you'll feel right at home. Enjoy the convenience of WiFi, a washing machine, and AC during your stay. Make your holiday one for the books with a stay at our place.*******************Here is what some of our guests are saying after a stay with us:*****************"Thistle Pond cottage exceeded all our expectations. We truly felt at home during our Christmas holiday. Upon entering, we were greeted by a delightful aroma that complemented the pristine setting, and the welcoming basket with a lovely bottle of wine made us feel instantly at ease. Every detail in the cottage created a warm, inviting atmosphere that made it hard to venture out into the cold. I was pleasantly surprised to find a small Christmas tree in the living room, which was a lovely touch I had hoped for—thank you so much, Alexis! Even though Alexis and Hamish live just behind the cottage, we never felt observed or restricted like we have with other hosts. Our stay was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip to Maine, and if I return to this beautiful state, Thistle Pond cottage will be my first choice! I wholeheartedly recommend it—don’t hesitate!"*******************"Home away from home is an understatement. Alexis was flexible with check in and met us upon arrival. She left a basket with local goodies, wine & homemade sourdough bread. So impressed. We also had a pack n’ play delivered before we arrived and she and her husband set it up for us. The home was updated, stocked to perfection and immaculate. There was a giant chalkboard in the kitchen with recommendations on what to do and see while in the area. We can’t recommend this property enough!"************
*********"Thistle Pond Cottage is more than just a home away from home; it’s the kind of home you will want to call your own, & Alexis is the kind of host who feels like family. Nestled in a peaceful & private setting, the property overlooks beautiful gardens, a firepit, & a serene pond, yet remains conveniently close to nearby towns. The cottage itself is absolutely stunning - boasting a gorgeous layout, high-end finishes, & every amenity you could possibly need. The kids loved playing games, exploring the pond & grounds, & perusing the collection of books. We enjoyed cooking in the expansive kitchen, watching the snow fall outside the large windows, & cozying up by the fire to watch Christmas movies together. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the bathrooms spacious & luxurious, & the entire home is immaculate. Our family originally came to Maine to experience Christmas Prelude but ended up spending most of our time at the cottage - and not one of us regrets it. We can’t wait to return!"****************"This place is.. MAGIC. My wife and I needed a weekend away to unplug and recenter, and this was the perfect place to do that. The space is so carefully and intentionally curated. The chalkboard with personalized sunrise/ sunset times, local beaches, shops and restaurants, paired with the homemade sourdough bread (amazing, btw) and local treats was such a warm and welcoming treat. The most unique and wonderful piece is the fact that they have included a vegetable garden specifically where you can enjoy picking your own produce and cooking it right there. We’ve never experienced anything like this space. It was clean, gorgeous and peaceful- We slept like babies. The hosts were responsive, warm and SO helpful. If you want a truly unique and special experience and not just a place to stay; Book this place and don’t think twice!! We genuinely can’t wait to come back. Thank you, Alexis and Hamish!!!"*******
