Fantastic and peaceful location. This house has a great layout and was super comfortable for the 2 other couples we shared with. Well appointed, linens were all above average. Not a single complaint. Would stay here again in a second!

The house and location were perfect for us. Peaceful and relaxing while not too far from things to do! Kitchen was fully stocked with the anything you could need, including a large lobster pot. We enjoyed relaxing in the different seating areas, watching the beautiful scenery. We were able to see seals playing in the water during low tide. I would recommend this house to anyone visiting Maine.

We had an amazing week in this gorgeous cabin. We wanted a quiet place, off the beaten path, for a relaxing vacation and this was the perfect house for that. The young adults used this as a jumping off point to explore the area, while my husband and I had some much needed R&R on the property. The stunning view and ocean breeze made the deck my favorite place to be - I spent hours watching the bald eagles soar by, and the seals popping their heads out of the water. The house had everything we needed for meals and entertainment at home, and we also hit some excellent local restaurants. I highly recommend this beautiful spot!

This cabin was so peaceful and relaxing. The views of the water were spectacular, the sunset was beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked and had my first whole lobster dinner there. Lots of places to get away and just relax by yourself. Just what I needed, Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with my family.
