Beautiful location for all ages
Eight of us stayed here for two nights in late August. We all live in Maine and we ranged in age from 5 to 75. The house was perfect. Plenty of room for everybody and there is even a game room, much to everyone's delight. We chose this location so we could be near the water and also to Funtown.
We love to cook and the kitchen is very well equipped.
Ian was the perfect host and responded immediately to any questions I had. Highly recommended!

Booked this property for a get together with college friends and couldn't be happier with my choice! Very clean and very functional for any type of stay. Great location- 30 mins to Portland and not far from downtown Biddeford. Would stay here again!
