We had a VERY relaxed vacation in surroundings filled with an interesting mix of old time living, with modern conveniences. The owner was accessible and informative and there was an easy walk to an inlet...highly recommend this property.

You will be staying in a very comfortable converted barn-home, far from the tourist traps and congestion, surrounded by quiet farms, and a short walk to a beautiful pebbled cove. This is a place for renewal, rest, and a taste of genuine rural coastal Maine living - $10 lobster procured at a nearby marina. The hosts are generous and gracious, available but not hovering. The kitchen is well-equipped and the bedrooms and bathrooms superb. I hesitate to recommend it too much because I don't want it to get so popular that it's not available in the future.

Everything was great, looking forward to a return visit!

My family of 8 (2 adults, 6 kids ages 2-10yo) fit more than comfortably in this charming home! The lovely owners are just across the street and generously made themselves available if anything was needed. The main floor layout is open with lots of space to eat meals. The 2nd floor bedrooms are large (we easily fit three pack n plays set up in one of the rooms), and the loft is perfect for older kids. The home has a charming authentic farmhouse feel, with antiques and thoughtful touches. With so many young children we did not want to be on the water, but were glad to be in a location with many harbors, towns, and activities a relatively short drive away.

What a wonderful week. The location is great (close to water, nice grounds, many awesome adventures within 30 min drive). The house itself was outstanding. It was by far the nicest rental we've had. All of us wanted to move in permanently or recreate the exact same home in our year-round locations. The artwork and furniture were shockingly nice for a rental but also totally approachable. We didn't worry about breaking stuff (we were careful of course) but felt treated to rustic luxury accommodations. It was a treat. We'd certainly stay here again when traveling with a group. The place was spacious and comfy. Well done.

This ox barn conversion is quite unique and has everything you need. Hosts were friendly and available across the street. The open kitchen,dining, living space with a cathedral ceiling towards the front of the house makes it very comfortable for a group up to 8 adults and there are plenty of bathrooms. The decor is quite creative yet simple. A screened in porch was relaxing in the mornings while having a first cup of coffee—nice comfortable beds, sheets and pillows. Kitchen was well stocked. Lots of books everywhere too. The only less attractive aspects were the lack of shades to block the sun and no option for air conditioning which made the house extremely hot and humid on many days. More fans were brought in to mitigate the heat, and the nights were cooler, but a/c s for backup were necessary during this particular week Also the water pressure upstairs was minimal, and it was only possible to really shower in one bathroom. The impression given on the property description was that swimming was excellent and easily accessible, but this proved to be an exaggeration, as there was no pebble beach but a very rocky inhospitable area that was at least a 15 minute strenuous walk, which was not possible for some family members. We drove to the very lovely Pemaquid Beach about 30 minutes away and swam there, took a boat ride to see seals in their natural habitat, had good lobster and delicious ice cream at Round Top Farm—so many flavors!
