Scattered, then congregated for a Maine week.

We all loved the house and yards! The photographer found much to be photographed. The chefs concocted some delicious food in the large kitchen! The large bathtub was a hit for one (I think she used it daily). I love rural or country life, so having a bit of a drive any where is perfect especially when the country side is unspoiled, has such beautiful plants, gardens and flowers , and the homes are colorful. We all agreed we had a wonderful week of family time and the house was perfect! One issue was resolved in a timely fashion and we didn’t miss a beat!

Fantastic home and host!

The home and property are just lovely - I wish we had enough time to fully utilize it all! We visited for a wedding at French’s Point and it happened in the midst of a storm which knocked out power in the entire area for half a day. The host was so helpful and supportive in making sure we were well informed and in case we needed anything. If we are ever back in this beautiful area, we would definitely stay here again! Thank you!!

Perfect accommodations for family

We were 3 adults and 4 children, ages 11 - 5. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out if necessary. There were plenty of books and toys for all. A nice selection of books about the local communities. The kitchen was well appointed. There is nothing missing... The trundle beds, upstairs, were a big hit with the kids. The master bedroom with an ensuite, is lovely. Sandy Point Beach is a short distance from the house. It is an inlet for the Penobscot River. No big waves and shallow, at low tide, for the younger swimmers. The beach is not sandy, so bring your water shoes. You can see the Penobscot Narrows bridge from the beach. It is an impressive sight. Be sure to visit Fort Knox and the Observatory. Warren's restaurant was delicious. Highly recommended. On a personal note, be sure to visit a couple of stores; Reny's in Belfast and Marden's in Ellsworth. Two of my very favorites' Overall, it was a wonderful vacation and one we will remember years to come!

Best VRBO ever

It was the best Vrbo we have ever stayed in. The layout was good for us as the sleeping room were not all on top of each other. The host gave wonderful info about local things to see, where shopping was located, and distances to places. The amenities were great and we didn't need anything that wasn't provided. We enjoyed the week and had a wonderful time. The beach was great for kids.

Wedding weekend

We had a family wedding at The French's Point which was like 3 minutes by car from this rental. The house was perfect for my family. I love the outside. Also we had a problem with one of the bathrooms and the owner was able to take care of it within an hour. Highly recommend this rental

Perfect location and beautiful home

We came to Maine to experience the life along Maine’s coast- we picked this VRBO because of price, location, and the beauty of the home - the owner responded to our text’s quickly - we had no big issues with the property- and the handbook and email’s explained everything we needed to know. Was a wonderful trip- we went to Bucksport, Belfast, Camden and Acadia National Park.

First Maine Trip

Cottage was perfect for a family of 6 adults. Plenty of room for sleeping and eating dinners together. It was nice to have three bathrooms also. The cottage is in a very quiet peaceful location. There are many things to do close by and not too far from Bar Harbor. We enjoyed our stay!

Vacation

Very nice property, very well stocked and clean. We really didn`t have to buy a thing except for our food. My 5 year old grandson loved playing with all the toys provided. Loved the wild gardens in the front. Didn't sit outside too much due to the mosquitos, but I read something about an outdoor screened in area being built. We had someone in a wheelchair with us and after pulling her up the 4 wooden front stairs she was able to access the entire downstairs which is appreciated as it is very difficult to find a house able to somewhat accommodate someone in a wheelchair even though this property is not listed as handicapped accessible, we`ve learned to make due with what is available. The bathroom in the downstairs bedroom was very large and she was also able to access that which is extremely appreciated. From this house we were able to visit Bangor, Belfast, Bar Harbor, Acadia, Bucksport and Sandy Point beach.

This is a beautiful, well maintained house with an updated an FULLY stocked kitchen and plenty of room for our group of 8 people. The hosts were also incredible thoughtful and welcoming. The house is full of toys, games, and items you might need, like bug spray.

Charming home with lots of room and beds

We had 4 generations of family members and 2 friends that stayed here, so the 4 bed rooms and 3 baths came in handy. The home owners was very accommodating and even purchased-supplied a 'pack-n-play' when we inquired if they had access to one, so that we didn't have to include it in all of the other items we needed for a toddler. The toys came in handy to occupy our toddler and even if we had older children it would have been a perfect fit. Was centrally located to all of the Maine towns that we planned on visiting. Sandy beach would have been a great place to play if it was warmer during our stay and would have been very secluded with little to no beach goers.

Antique/Historic feel to the home

Former post office of the area/village and was spacious with more than enough sleeping arrangements for our 4. 6 beds went unused! There is no AC except in 1 room upstairs but several fans help move air. The kitchen has more than enough of everything imaginable. Communication with the host was quick and helpful. A few items need attention, water pressure in upstairs sink (shower was fine) and the kitchen faucet was just a trickle due to broken aerator. Probably will be fixed soon. Checkout is 10 AM even though it says 11 at 1 space on the description. Didn't matter to us. The location is, 45-60 minutes from Arcadia and that nearby peninsula so not close but again, quite manageable. Quiet and serene; we enjoyed the property.

Annual visit to Maine

We’ve been coming to Maine annually for about 10 years to visit with extended family and to explore. We’ve stayed in a number of different rental homes, and found this property to be ideally located between many of our favorite points such as Acadia, Bangor, and Belfast, and each year we discover new mini trips to take. This year we added Deer Isle to our list. We enjoy this quiet location, off the main roads, and have felt comfortable returning here each night. Our children enjoy playing in the loft bedroom with all the toys, and the well provisioned kitchen allows us to minimize our dining out all the time. As we plan ahead for next year’s trip, we will be keeping this location on our short list.

Wonderful Family Getaway

We had a terrific time staying at this idylllic home in the Stockton Springs area. It’s location was great for getting down the coast in either direction for exploring or going just down the road for fun at sandy beach. The home was wonderful and had everything we could need and more and the hosts were kind and easy to communicate with.
