Wonderful Stay

Judy and Skip are delightful and welcoming hosts and the apartment has everything one could need including a lobster pot. The property is magical in itself and we enjoyed our time there as much as the accessibility to many beautiful spots along the coast.

Maine Woods Getaway

Our family had a wonderful week at Judy and Skip’s place in the Maine woods. The VRBO pictures don’t do the property justice. Our family of four was very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed the extremely clean, well appointed apartment. Our extremely gracious hosts were the icing on the cake. We have stayed at several VRBO locations over the years and Judy and Skip were the best hosts we've encountered. I highly recommend this property for your next visit to mid-coast Maine.

Getaway with my boys 💙

I’ve decided to take my 3 boys back to Maine since it has been 10 years since they last visited. And this property was the perfect fit for my guys and I. It was near everything with a lot of things to do and see. We hiked Camden Hills State Park, sailed a schooner during sunset, checked out downtown Camden, walked Belfast, visited a beautiful church, stopped by 7 lighthouses and visited Bar Harbor when we went to Acadia. We ate a lot of lobster rolls! All this even though the weather wasn’t the most ideal some days. Judy & Skip were great hosts & responded immediately. We enjoyed the blueberry muffins and mint chocolate brownies during our stay baked by Judy. My boys and I fit comfortably in the very well stocked apartment. I have never stayed at a place where I only needed to bring my clothes because everything else is already there. I have 3 teenagers and they all said how much they enjoyed their long weekend. They even asked if we could come back to the same place soon. Wonderful retreat !

Cozy cabin perfect for family of 3

We had a relax stay It's house above the garage, but it's really a cabin inside. Judy and Skip are just so wonderful. Judy had everything for us, it's really a turn-key vacation that we didn't have to bring anything. We got good reference for restaurants nd local favorites. I ended going to Glen Elis falls Skip recommended in Mt Washington area for the next week. It was quite a pleasant surprise!

COOL TEMPS IN AUGUST

My husband and I have enjoyed many trips to this part of the Maine coast over the past 20 years. Our earlier selections from VRBO were based on "in town" locations so that we could park the car upon arrival and then walk to shops and restaurants. However after discovering Skip and Judy's 'cabin in the woods', we are totally hooked. We loved sitting on the deck, listening to the creek while enjoying a cup of coffee and one of Judy's delcious fresh blueberry muffins. She and Skip spoiled us rotten while we were there! We felt like members of the family. Definitely coming back next year!!

Senior week getaway

A group of myself and four other people stayed here as a post-graduation celebration and I couldn't recommend it more! Its position right beside the creek provides a beautiful view from the deck and is very calming. However, the best part about this rental are the hosts- Skip and Judy were very kind and it was wonderful to stay with them (For anyone out there who's food motivated, they were kind enough to leave brownies for when we arrived and provided delicious blueberry muffins for our first morning in Maine). The space is small and cozy, but we found that it worked perfectly for our party of five. There's also a grocery store & gas station right down the road so that's super convenient as well. It's just a calm and lovely place to stay; we were there for a week but I would've been happy to spend a couple extra days there. Hopefully we'll be back again someday!

Wonderful place!

This peaceful, immaculately clean, well-appointed two bedroom, beautiful pine-walled apartment and our caring hosts, Judy and Skip, made a wonderful home away from home. The deck overlooks a babbling stream and there are sunlit forest views from every room, yet the apartment is close to the ocean, groceries, shops, and all this special part of Maine offers. The kitchen is large with a dinette perfect for puzzles and meals, and a welcoming living room has a big TV with streaming and DVDs. A minisplit provides plenty of heat and air conditioning, and there's another A/C in the bedroom. We enjoyed a wonderful vacation in this beautiful place and thank Skip and Judy for their thoughtfulness.

Maine Getaway

Our hosts were kind, gracious and very hospitable We loved the apartment. It was very cozy. The kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen I've used since visiting Maine for the last 4 years. Our host, Judy brought us blueberry muffins, which were delicious. She invited us to her home for homemade blueberry pie one night. Skip and Judy taught us the game Racko. It was fun. The location was beautiful. We could hear the stream from our back patio.

Beautiful space living up with the trees

Judy and Skip have created a wonderful relaxing space - the kitchen is well appointed and they have very comfortable furniture. The property is full of gorgeous trees and this place makes you feel like you're living in the tree canopy. It's also very easy to get to some great places in mid-coast Maine - Belfast, Acadia.

Judy & Skip are such attentive hosts. This was the best little place to be our base from which to explore the Penobscot coastal towns. We bought lobster off the boat and were able to bring it back to the cabin and cook it ourselves because Judy & Skip had all the kitchen and table necessities - everything! Thanks Judy & Skip!

Everything you could need!

We had such a great time at Skip & Judy’s apartment in the woods! Every morning we had turkeys out the window, red squirrels jumping in the trees and the sound of the little stream flowing through the rocks down the hill from the home! Communication with Judy was spectacular, she even asked us about our kids ages to make sure she had toys all prepped and ready in the shed for them to use! Full washer and drier were super handy, fridge had butter, eggs and other necessities for us when we got there! Place was very clean and we had no problems! There was a huge list of places to go & places to eat. If a quiet little place in the woods is what you’re looking for than this is it! Perfectly placed between Belfast & Lincolnville!

Babbling brook

The place was very clean and had everything I needed. It was great to here the running water in the creek all day. The internet was good and reliable which I needed because I was working remotely. I enjoyed going into Belfast and Camden, and also found it very east to grab the ferry over to Islesboro. As city person, I found this a bit remote but getting to a town was easy enough.

Magical little wooded retreat!

We were so thrilled to have happened upon this wonderful apartment while browsing VRBO! Judy & Skip are the absolute ideal couple & made our entire stay so comfortable & welcoming without being intrusive. The apartment had everything we needed. In fact, we have rented many other places & would say, they had the apartment stocked better then any other we have ever experienced. The baked treats that were left for us(baked by Judy) were delicious & a wonderful surprise that we so appreciated! There were even butter & eggs in the refrigerator upon our arrival! We can’t say enough about the fabulous stay we had here! Can’t wait to return to enjoy more chats with Judy & Skip & explore more of our favorite area of Maine!
