Enjoyed our stay here immensely
I love this house! It was very clean, the location is beautiful, the decor and the rugs are amazing. The rooms and the furniture are so accommodating for a comfortable stay. In the evenings after sightseeing all day, we had so much fun playing games in the basement or cards at the kitchen table. We greatly appreciate that there were ample supplies of all the necessities. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Nice home base for Acadia park region
Nice quiet north woods property within an hours drive of Acadia national park and surroundings. Comfortable family rooms, kitchens and beds. No wifi or live tv if you need that but cell service was adequate for most needs. Good place to disconnect from the grid for awhile and enjoy this part of Maine.

Great adventure
Wonderful stay in rural Maine. The home was perfect in every way for our group. We hope to visit again from Idaho!
Clean, Cozy, and Comfortable! The ping-pong table, dartboard, and downstairs area was a great place to hang out!

The place was spacious and clean. Overall it was a wonderful stay. The only concern was that the beds were a little lumpy, however, for the most part, we were able to sleep.
