Cozy Cottage Mid-coast Guidebook
Food scene
Very close to the cottage. Great for food and beverage. Kid friendly with a small playground and picnic tables. Indoor and outdoor seating. Down the hill is the “Saloon” which offers appetizers and sometimes live music. The “saloon” is more of an adult scene. Chicken Alfredo is delicious!
