We had a wonderful stay. The house was super clean and spacious. The bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked so we were able to easily make breakfast each morning. I would definite stay there again. It was just a short drive to many of the places in the area that we wanted to see.

This property feels like visiting a friend’s home. It is very clean, well maintained and has the incidentals you wouldn’t think to pack. If we needed something it was easily found: life jackets, trash bags and recycling. We enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle boards on the river only wishing we hadn't waited until the last day. Do visit the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden in Boothbay and enjoy the native gardens around this property.

Serenity

It was a wonderful home. It was warm and welcoming, very clean, easy to find, had a lot of things available to read and also if you wanted to stay in and cook. Easy to travel to local farmers markets and also a short drive to Boothbay Harbor. Plan to stay at least four days in order to see everything in the area including the nearby State Park and the little village nearby. The host was very accommodating with making some suggestions and replies quickly to the emails

Wedding weekend

This was a perfect location and setting for our family stay to attend our nephews wedding. The home has so much character with antique furnishings and a beautiful country setting overlooking the river. The hosts were very accommodating, responsive and a pleasure to deal with.
