Good location

Good location, clean, updated remodel with a good bathroom and great AC. Hui and Richard could not have been nicer and more helpful...left a welcome gift of honey from their hives. Even helped with a difficult outboard engine! Would definitely stay there again!

Convenient & Comfortable

We chose this rental because it was close to all that Blue Hill has to offer. We visited Castine, Blue Hill and Stonington, all a short drive from this rental. It was well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed the location next to an old Mill Pond as well.

Nice stay

The apartment was just as described. Completely comfortable, cute and quirky. I would have loved for some outdoor space to enjoy, as the apartment was directly on the road. Our stay was during a heatwave and the bedrooms were incredibly hot. With only one a/c in the living room it was very tough keeping the furthest bedroom a reasonable temperature. Children’s toys and a smart tv were great for the kids. Checking in&out was easy and we and had no problems with our host.

Peaceful hideaway

I needed a quiet respite from a busy life and this space provided that! Not only was it clean, artfully designed/decorated, but it had a beautiful view of a pond and stream with the relaxing & meditative sound of the water heard at all times! Close to hiking trails & other beautiful scenery as well! Will recommend to others!

Great spot!

The location is perfect. So many adventures in every direction! The apartment was very clean and cozy. Our kids loved checking out the fish in the backyard. That was a huge bonus. All in all, it was the perfect spot for our family of four!
