Our cozy stay

The entire property, including the brook and river, was beautiful. It was a very relaxing setting and I love that there were porches to sit out on to enjoy the view even more!

Family reunion

We rented all three cabins and everything was great and a good value. Entire family in town for an ash burial ceremony and family reunion. Campsite was great and property owner/manager did a great job. Highly recommend this property.

The Best Experience!

My son and I, with our 2 dogs, had the best time! We couldn’t have anything better to say about our experience. The cabin was perfect, and the owners were awesome, going out of their way to make our stay even better. We canoed, kayaked, swam, played horseshoes and cornhole, and had an amazing campfire. We had such a wonderful time. Thank you so much John and Diane!

Maine in Howland

This was our first trip to Maine. We had a great time going to the coast. Only negative was the tv was too small. We would have liked one larger bed but for the size of the bedroom it worked out. We had to travel more than I wanted to go places but being close to 95 is a plus.

We will keep coming back

We have been coming here since the summer of 2019 and absolutely love it. I am fortunate to take my 15 year old twins here on individual trips and the time spent with them in such a great place is irreplaceable. John and Diane are fantastic hosts. They are friendly and attentive and the cabins have everything needed for a comfortable stay. We are already looking forward to next year! Best, Charlie, Jack, and Mia

Basic, Not Well Maintained

TV had to be 30 years old. No WiFi. Didn't understand baskets of seriously old magazines around the house especially when property is so small and space is at a premium. We had booked two nights but left after one.

stayed for a weakend

The location was great, you could do fishing, boating, etc..The cleanliness of the property was not good, the 1st bath towel I used had strong musty smell, the cabin had sort of crawl space smells as well.

Not a good couple days...

The Google directions took me to the owners residence which had rude political signs in the windows & a Confederate flag on their barn. There was a big hole in the kitchen door curtain. There we're exposed plastic pipes in the quasi finished bathroom. The back/side door only opened from outside! There was no lampshade on one lamp, the other lamp & the heater had to be plugged into a closet. Under the kitchen sink smelled strongly of mold. There was a message about no open fires on the listing saying you had to use the fire ring, but it wasn't a normal camp fire ring. It was a huge ring so far away with no area for a cozy fire . It was so huge, it looked like it was meant for a story high bonfire. No romantic fires in the evening which is half the fun of camping for my guys.

rustic, charming and peaceful

Lovely, comfy and rustic cabins at the intersection of Merrill Brook and the Penobscot River. The cabins are right at the end of a quiet residential area, with lovely waterways and woods in one direction, yet easy access to Route 95. You feel like you are mostly in the woods, with a peaceful boat launch across the road. We loved sitting by the brook and by the river. Great place for a campfire, for quiet walks and for boating. The cabins are rustic, which was more than fine for us. They were well insulated as the nights got colder and comfortable on the warmer days. The owners were always available and helpful. We had a wonderful time and will go back for sure.
