Guest Testimonials

This location is exceptional and the cottage itself was immaculate!

The morning coffee in the dining room or the back yard has to be enjoyed in person to fully understand the exceptional scenery and peace of the location.

Absolutely no regrets on this stay and will be looking forward to another trip to Rising Sun

This property is amazing. It is private and secluded but near to amenities in Barrington Passage. The house was very comfortable and fully equipped. We hated to leave and will be back again in the future!

Hurricane Bill - worth the price of admission, swirling wins and waves and the cottage stood like a glass fortress.

What a fabulous week we've had!!! Wonderful water - such a lovely spacious cozy home. Castaway Ocean Lodge has a view to die for. We loved Shelburne and Lockeport too; very quaint with lovely old house and so quiet and unspoiled.
