Big and rustic, good for large informal family gatherings
The strength of this home is its size. Beyond all the bedrooms, there is a large living room, large dining room, and a good sized kitchen and the rear deck overlooks the water.
The kitchen and living room both had operating wood stoves which were used to take the chill off in the early morning and evenings. Plenty of wood was provided and this greatly enhanced the ambience of the home.
The kitchen/panty areas are well equipped. The washer and dryer worked well as did the dishwasher and ample soap was provided.
The house was clean when we arrived but it is rustic so it may not feel clean to some. It is an old house with sticky doors, uneven floors, etc. There are 4 baths but two only have clawfoot tubs (no shower) so you only have 2 showers available, one connected to a tub and one tiled shower as part of the first floor master suite. We had a large party so there was occasionally a wait after we went biking/hiking. On the plus, there seemed to be plenty of hot water.
The hosts were very responsive to the few questions we had.
The only other item to note is that when the sun went down the mosquitoes came out. Having been to Maine many times, that is normal but I would certainly factor that into your plans.
Overall, my family would stay here again. It’s size puts it in a class itself and having folks spread out while still having large hang out spaces is very valuable to us.
