Great location! Enjoyed our stay. Understand home is very old but some items in disrepair and lights not all working. Downstairs bathroom with lots of dirt on baseboards. However, would stay again since location was central to the places we were visiting.

Nice property to rent for a large family get away with plenty of room for everyone!!

This house was perfect for our Maine Adventure! Clean, comfortable, plenty of room to enjoy meals yet have our own bedroom and centrally located to our many adventures.

We stayed at this home as our "home base" for a wedding. Eight of us enjoyed the proximity and ease of travel to Belfast and other intriguing places to eat and drink. Suited our needs for the trip well. Hosts communicated in a timely fashion and provided us with all relevant information we needed.

Property as described, great amenities, close to shopping. A detailed summary of dining and attractions was also provided at check-in. Overall it was perfect for our group of four senior male adults. Many thanks!

Historic house well appointed, tastefully decorated - some small negatives completely excused with 100+ yr old property. Great location to visit the many small towns along coastal Maine. Hot tub a great bonus.

My husband and I, two friends and two small dogs had a lovely stay at this special home. It's very large, comfortable, and we all had plenty of room. There are two bedrooms and one bathroom on the first floor (both queen beds) and three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs (king bed upstairs). The home is a lovely old farmhouse with traditional decor, but is nicely updated. The kitchen is spacious had everything we needed. Brenda was very responsive when we had questions. As some have mentioned, the house is on a main road and there is no fence. This did not bother us at all, but if you have small children or dogs that run off, just be aware. There is also a rental on the opposite side of the house where another couple was staying, but we only ran into them once. The home is in a perfect location for exploring Belfast (which we loved) and further north. We also did some beautiful hikes at Moose Point State Park and Sears Island. We really enjoyed midcoast Maine and hope to return next year!

The description of the Farmhouse was very accurate, but we were happily surprised by both the size of the house and the luxuriousness of the property. Our family group consisted of three apartment-dwelling households and we really enjoyed the number of rooms and the comfortable furnishings. We had plenty of space to read, work (wifi was great) and just relax. The hot tub was a highlight, and it got plenty of use, as did the gas grill. The house was completely furnished with everything we needed, and the local shops recommended by the owners had everything we wanted. The communication with the owners leading up to our arrival was terrific and very helpful. We had a wonderful day at Moose Point State Park which allowed "in and out" privileges. We particularly enjoyed the shops and restaurants of Belfast. A great place to just unwind.

My family and I had a great time staying at the farmhouse. The space is big, well appointed, and close to the sweet coastal town of Belfast, which had a great Coop, bakery, and wine store for us to stock up on everything we needed. We were a bit surprised that the property was so close to busy HWY 1. But we got used to hearing the highway traffic and keeping a close eye on our 3 year old and dog when they left the house, we adapted and felt that ultimately, we had found a great home base for our coastal Maine adventures.

Very nice old farm house. Comfy and complete with hot tub!

Loved it

Spacious, comfortable and well-equipped, good location. Would definitely stay there again. While I didn't give 5 stars for each category I think the overall rating could be at least 4.5 stars.

Great time with family

The house was very accommodating for all of us. We were very surprised by all of the items available for use in the kitchen and plenty of towels. The hot tub and outdoor patio very an added bonus. We would definitely stay there again and recommend to others

The house was nice. It's about an hour drive to most places. I would stay there again.

Family of 6 had a great stay. We were able to reach our destinations in the area, using the house as a starting point. The house is nicely decorated and we had plenty of room. We were very pleased with the accommodations.

Brenda and Mike's historic sea captain's home was a superb vacation rental for our family. This charming place was very comfortable, had a warm, welcoming feeling, and had ample space for all five of us. There were a few times when we almost didn't explore the area because we each liked staying in different rooms so much. Brenda and Mike were great at communicating with me, and even recommended an activity (taking a guided family tour of the Penobscot Marine Museum) that was a scavenger hunt-bingo game that our 9 & 10 year olds really had fun with. The property manager, Kathy, was extremely helpful, and our kids enjoyed talking with her about her horses. The town of Searsport was the perfect location for our excursions both to Acadia National park and to midcoast towns further 'south' like Damariscotta, and we almost caught a mackerel while fishing at the Searsport public pier (down Steamboat Ave). Also, the town of Belfast is lovely and is only a short 10-minute drive from Brenda and Mike's place. Overall, one of the best VRBO experiences I've ever had.

We had a blast in Maine and our stay at this lovely little farmhouse was everything we hoped for. We look forward to returning and staying again, soon!

Brenda was very nice and her communication was good given how often we did need to communicate. I understand that given the COVID circumstances Brenda and Mike were unable to visit the place prior to our arrival, but I will say there are some areas that could use some maintenance. Quite a few lights were not functioning, the propane tank was empty (which we filled, and Brenda subsequently reimbursed us for) and our entrance did not lock properly. As part of the instructions we were supposed to leave the property in broom swept conditions, but I do not think the property had been swept for our arrival as there was a lot of debris (and lady bugs) on the ground. Overall, Brenda was very nice and accommodating; the house provided the basics of our needs (plus the hot tub, which is a nice perk), but some of the other aspects were not as I expected.

The house was centrally located and had all the basics covered. The hot tub was great. The kitchen was also well equipped. Plenty of towels for the bathrooms and hot tub. Lots of space and seating outside. It does sit on route 1 so you will hear traffic. There is another unit (or maybe two?) on the other side of the property but we had no interaction and so it was not a privacy or other issue at all. Bedrooms nicely appointed. Lobster pound nearby! My only note would be that the property is over 100 years old (I think) so don’t expect it to feel brand new. There’s a little bit of a musty smell that’s not surprising, but opening the windows and turning on the vents gets it aired out. That said, the place is well cared for and the owners were very responsive to a few small issues. Recommended, especially for large groups!

Our stay at this Searsport house was just great! The house is well-maintained, with everything set up just to work as expected the second you come in! It is well stocked with everything you may need. However, the main thing about the house is its character. Every space - from living room, to multiple bedrooms, to laundry room - is decorated with the details that make this house warm and welcoming. I wish I could spend the hours it deserves in the living room/library with its great selection of books and table games, on the soft sofa. Each of the bedrooms has its theme and decorated accordingly. One if my sons had a hard time choosing between Yankees and airplanes room - both being his passion, my daughter named the master bedroom "Princess Room" and pretty much grabbed it to herself. The kitchen with the period details was a delight for me. In fact, we forgo a couple of planned excursions in order to enjoy the house more. The Jacuzzi was a nightly treat for the kids and us.The house is well situated, with many activities, parks and towns to explore nearby, and about 1.5 hours scenic drive to Acadia. We hope to come back again to experience the place more!
