Belle of Maine Cottage 33: A Private Two-Bedroom Retreat in Wells

Why Stay

Why Belle of Maine Cottage 33

Belle of Maine Cottage 33 sits in Piper's Landing, a quiet corner of Wells where cottage living means actual space - a full kitchen, a living room, a private entrance, and the kind of setup that lets a family or small group live like locals, not tourists passing through. The property wraps amenities around a saltwater pool and hot tub, with hiking trails and Wells Beach within reasonable distance. Perfect for families who want their own base camp rather than a hotel room.

You get a full kitchen and real living space, not a hotel room. The cottage includes a dining area, sitting area, and a layout that lets you spread out. Cook breakfast in the kitchen, eat at the dining table, relax on the sofa between beach days. You're not eating every meal out or crammed into a single room.

The saltwater pool and hot tub are right on the property. No pool passes, no driving. Open the door and jump in. The hot tub is ideal for cooling off after hiking or a long day exploring the Maine coast.

Wells Beach and Mount Agamenticus are close by. The beach sits 1.4 miles away - a short drive or even a bike ride. Mount Agamenticus, a 692-foot peak with views across three states, is 4.3 miles out. Both are breakfast-and-go accessible.

The cottage appeals to solo travelers, couples, and small families alike. Guests consistently praise the cleanliness and the "comforts of home" feel. You're not sacrificing comfort to save money; you're gaining space and independence.

Seasons

When to visit

Summer (June–August)
Peak season. Wells Beach is packed, Mount Agamenticus trails are busy, and the saltwater pool is at its most refreshing. Funtown Splashtown USA is fully open. Expect higher rates and book early. This cottage is ideal for July stays - all three reviews came from July and August.

Shoulder Season (May & September)
Fewer crowds, comfortable water and air temperatures. The pool is available, though not heated. Great for hiking and beach walks without summer traffic. Many local restaurants stay open.

Fall (October)
Leaf-peeping season brings hikers to Mount Agamenticus. Days are crisp, nights cool. The pool closes by late September. Funtown Splashtown is closed. Reserve well in advance if you're targeting foliage weekends.

Winter (November–April)
Off-season. Many local attractions close or reduce hours. The pool and hot tub are not available. Best for travelers seeking solitude and lower rates. Check with the property on heating availability before booking.

Reviews

What guests say

The cottage was absolutely adorable and very clean. It had all of the comforts of home.

  • Amanda, United States · Solo traveler · 10/10

An amazing stay!

  • Dina, United States · Solo traveler · 10/10

Perfect for our Maine getaway.

  • Guylaine, Canada · Couple · 10/10

All three reviews gave perfect scores, citing cleanliness and the home-like comfort as standouts. Minor observations: the digital door code is long (helpful if you write it down), and parking can be tight for larger vehicles - neither issue detracts from the experience for most guests.
