Spruce Head - Exceptional rental and host

Our host went above and beyond to provide us with everything needed to make our vacation exceptional. Lobsters delivered to the door were a highlight!!! The busy wharf provided an insight into the fishing industry today. Our host was exceedingly helpful in suggesting areas of interest, local dining and sightseeing options.

Wonderful November Get-a-way

We normally never go back to a place for vacation as we want to explore other places. However, this is the perfect place to enjoy a view of a bay and the ocean, watch the comings and goings of the lobster-men, enjoying lobster every day, quiet as the pier is empty during the day, full sunrise and sunsets, clean and modern house, and great host just a phone call away. We will be returning for another get-a-way.

Wonderful home base

The view of the Maine coast from the house is simply beautiful, and the working lobster wharf was an added bonus. I loved the location and really enjoyed visiting mid-coast Maine again. Gail was always responsive to any questions and very easy to work with. The place was very clean and had all the necessities. I recommend this rental house.

Experience authentic Maine!

My husband, 2 kids (ages 9 & 10), and I had a very lovely stay at this home. It overlooks a lobster wharf, and we had an excellent view of the tides and lobster boats coming in and out. Hungry for lobster? The owners' restaurant is just steps away on the wharf! It's in an excellent location and convenient to Tenant's Harbor, Owl's Head, Camden, Rockland, etc.

A Slice of Heaven

We cannot say enough! This beautiful home, the location, and the surrounding area was everything we hoped it would be. Regardless of the (fabulous) working lobster wharf (my husband sat on the deck all morning to view these men)...you would never think that it would be so quiet and peaceful. We never heard the lobster men coming in to work. Go figure! Thank you Gail and Mark for sharing your home. And, Gail, for your help with the TV and streaming services! We wouldn't have been able to watch our NFL football without your knowledge! You went way above, of above and beyond! Best vacation ever!

The Perfect Place

Gail is a great host. As a lifelong resident of area she was very helpful providing information about the area. The host is as described and better. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Actually it is the best stocked vacation home we have ever rented. Great view of the harbor with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Don’t miss the Keag store, great little place.

The Quarry House on Wheeler Bay was Wonderful!

We loved everything about our stay at the Quarry House on Wheeler Bay. The location just can’t be beat. Hands down the best view we’ve ever had! Gail and Mark were great hosts, anticipating our every need and responding to any questions we had so quickly. The house and kitchen were clean, spacious and well equipped, and we enjoyed cooking most of our meals “at home.” Gail even gave us perfect instructions for our first lobster cooking experience, and we enjoyed the delicious Miller Lobster on several occasions. We loved exploring the area around Spruce Head and beyond, but our favorite activity was relaxing on the deck enjoying sunrises, sunsets the comings & goings of the lobster fishermen and their boats, and the peaceful stillness in between. Thank you, Gail and Mark, for a truly unique & beautiful Maine experience. We’ll be back!

The Greatest

The house is perfect. Perfect location on the water watching the tide change and the lobstermen work. The kitchen is so well stocked that there was nothing I desired that wasn't there. It is also big and has a lovely wood floor, as does the entire house. Both beds were super comfortable (and I am picky). Everything was clean. The hostess was very helpful - quick to answer her phone/messages. I almost don't want to tell how nice it is because there probably won't be a vacancy when I want it!

Wharf is always relaxing.

We have stayed at this property multiple times. We love the activity and scenery of the little wharf and enjoy watching the tide from the deck. The location is secluded, but close enough to many towns and activities. We had a wonderful stay, as always!! Thanks, Gail!!

Lobster Lovers

The cottage was spotless! We have never stayed in a cleaner vacation rental. The cottage was well-stocked with cooking pots and dishes, and there were paper products to get us through our first day until we had time to go shopping. Our hostess, Gail Miller, communicated by text and made social distancing easy. This site, on a hill above a lobster wharf, gave us a fascinating view of working lobster boats. Fortunately, there was no smell from the wharf. Gail brought us lobsters to cook upon request. Very quiet location, and we slept with the windows open at night. Great vacation.

Would return in a heartbeat

Easy place to stay, pictures of house are accurate, view is great, the deck is like having a big screen TV in front of you all day with watching the activity on the wharf. Owners are friendly and available. Don't waste your time/money with the chowders in Boothbay Harbor, New Harbor or Rockport.... Gail's beats them out by miles. Hope to return.
