Relaxing Stay at the Homestead
Our family had a great stay at the homestead. The host was very responsive, and from the looks of the inside you can tell they take care of the place very well. The location is only 10-15 minutes from Machias, so we were close to town and the beautiful Jasper beach. We would definitely stay here again.
