Sheri is great to work with. It was nice to have laundry on sight and two levels with two bathrooms. (That’s what made me choose The Hideaway.) lots of pluses…and on the flip side for the benefit of the owners and future guests please know….The main level bedrooms mattress set needs replacing asap as do all of the pillows. I gave up and took a blanket and slept on the family room sofa the last 4 nights. Also my friend took a bad fall off the slippery back steps. Non-skid mats are needed.

Perfect Place For A Family Reunion!

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay! The house is clean, comfortable, and fully furnished with everything we needed, and the yard is spacious and beautiful. Our host, Sheri Blackstone, went out of her way to accommodate us and to make sure that we enjoyed our visit. We could not have had a better time and look forward to returning. Five stars all around and most highly recommended to others!

Harpswell was Swell

Nice vintage cape home with plenty of dining space and a nice living room. Close to lovely hikes. We were here for a wedding which was close by, so this location was very convenient. Kitchen equipment could use some updating but things were clean and all appliances worked. Great communication with the host also.

Quiet Maine Retreat

There were a couple hiccups at the beginning of our stay, but Sheri, the property manager, helped us along the way. The house was cozier than what the pictures showed and the property is beautiful and secluded. It's about a 20 minute drive from Brunswick for supplies and eateries. And there is a secluded beach within a 10 minute walk to see the seashore. If you're looking for a quiet getaway in Maine with several people, this is a good choice.

Very large house with large yard and lots of trees and gardens. Spent lots of time in the yard. Can't see the ocean but you can feel that it is there. There is a short walk to a nature preserve e that is beautiful at all times of the day. Harpswell is a lovely peninsula. The house was well equipped and we had a very nice time..

We were a group of 5 women ocean kayakers and spent from 9-4pm on the ocean. The house was in a great neighborhood, very well appointed with everything we needed.

The perfect house for us

The renting process was very easy!!! Sheri was great with handling all of my questions. The house fit all of our needs. It had a first floor bed room which was great for my mom and was very spacious. The adults could be in the kitchen while the children played in the family room. The location was excellent. It was a short drive to the beach and restaurants. I would definitely rent this property again!!!

Very nice accommodations for family in a beautiful setting and in a great location. Roomy and comfortable with adequate amenities.
