Squeaky clean..

Spotless home with central location to southern points and an interesting history. Fit our party of (4) adults, (1) couple and (2) singles. Rooms are well spaced out, as well as layout of the homes bathrooms. If mobility is of concern, this would be a challenge, as the first floor bedroom requires steps down and the remaining upstairs bedrooms, require a very steep ascent and grip on the railing. AC in all bedrooms is a plus. Overall, a very cute home and layout. If you want surfaces you could eat off of, this is the home for you.

A nice surprise

We were so pleased with everything about our stay. When you rent a house there is often worn furniture and although it may be clean it has that 'lived in worn out look.' That was not the case in this historic well cared for gem. Everything was fresh and clean and the house has such personality. There was plenty of room for the six of us to sit together at the kitchen table and share a meal. The beds are so comfortable; it was hard to get up in the morning except the beauty of Maine beckoned us! There is a small deck outside that is perfect to sit and sip your morning coffee, or sit and relax with a cold drink after a day of exploring. The house was also comfortable enough to just sit relax and play games on a rainy day. The owner went out of her way to accommodate us and is easily accessible. I'm sure we will be back!

Lovely Stay In Maine

The home was nice and clean. Our family enjoyed our visit to Maine and the rental accommodations. The house was to our surprise conveniently located not far from one of the few grocery stores in Waldoboro. It is a historic home so therefore it does have a antiquated charm. The stairs leading up to the second floor are quite steep. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of plates, glassware and a wonderfully quiet newer dishwasher. We did have a issue with "sugar" ants the first two days but with some investigating we located a open box of sugar packets placed them in the refrigerator and no longer had a ant issue. There is only one shower in the home on the lower level but it was very clean and had a good amount of water pressure. The full size washer and dryer were wonderful. The parking is limited and the online photo of the outside of the home makes the home look like it sits back a distance from the road. The home actually sits very close to a major road. The road you have to back out onto is heavily travelled and has a major blind spot when pulling out. The small deck in the rear of the home has a nice picnic table and gas grill on it. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the neighbors chickens it made me feel at home. The check out instructions were very concise and well within reason. I would highly recommend this home for rental and I would definitely stay again on future visits.

Midcoast long weekend

Very nice antique farmhouse.. slightly closer to the road than we expected, so there was some traffic noise, but not enough to keep us awake. We were there in the middle of a heat wave, so really appreciated the bedroom air conditioning units. With the unusually warm weather, an additional fan / air conditioning unit/ shades on the upper part of the living room windows would have helped keep it more comfortable. It was definitely better when we moved the fan from the smaller upstairs bedroom to the hallway to circulate the air into the living room. Wonderful location..we went to light houses in Rockland, played a round of golf, and went sea kayaking. Also enjoyed our hosts' recommended restaurants, both Claws in Rockland and Moody's diner..

Excellent stay - highly recommend to couples and families!

We had an absolutely lovely stay at this property! It looked exactly as described on the page. The house had just been cleaned and you could tell; it smelled lovely and looked pristine, which was especially comforting in the midst of the pandemic. The house was spacious and certainly has room for a whole family to visit. The property owner and the local caretaker were incredibly helpful and checked on us throughout our stay. There was a slight delay in checking in and they made it up to us by allowing for a later check out. While there isn't a ton going on in the area, it is very quaint and adorable with lots of charm. We stopped by a local dairy farm and it was well worth it. Very close to many other areas of Maine as well, particularly Portland and Freeport. Overall excellent stay in a unique, historic home. Highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in staying in the area!
