We had a nice visit in this beautiful farm house in a beautiful setting. The host communicated all the necessary details ahead of time. The house was clean and spacious with a well stocked kitchen. There were bikes available for the kids to use in the barn and a wonderful dirt road that served as a long, quiet trail for a walk/bike. We were able to see a seal from the picnic table that is down by the water's edge! WiFi in the house worked great and there are dozens of books and DVDs to choose from for entertainment. We enjoyed our time. This is an old farmhouse, so if you are sensitive to the smell of mold, you might have some trouble. Many of the windows can't be opened because of age (which the host communicated to us). We had a heavy rain storm during our visit and there was a leak around the chimney upstairs in one room, but it wasn't a bedroom. There was also one mouse spotting. These things aren't atypical for an old farmhouse, but worth knowing if you are sensitive.

My friends and I checked out of this place nearly in tears, we so desperately did not want to leave! I simply cannot rave enough about how cool this property is: a historic farmhouse right by the water with many of its original historical features, with eclectic decorations (including fisherman lamps and several old paintings of sailing ships) that just make you feel like you’re in a movie. You sort of get the feeling like the house is filled with friendly ghosts. My friends and I rented this as a place to host our book club meeting and it was absolutely dreamy. Additionally, the hosts were super accommodating and easing to communicate with. They had the kitchen fully stocked with coffee, tea, various cooking supplies and ingredients— it really felt like we were at home. All the beds were comfy and with a kitchen, dining room, lounge, and library, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to cosy places to hang out. Long story short: we are already making plans for when we can come back next year!

Elizabeth takes such pride in her property. We were greeted with a call from Elizabeth on the final miles to the quiet retreat from the world’s noise. Every last detail was covered. Approaching the property was a step back in time to a more simpler life. Everything is on the property. We especially enjoyed observing wild life in its natural environment. As we kayaked the bay we were surrounded by seals and birds of prey, happily showing off their catch. If you’re looking for a place that’s peaceful, clean, spacious and charming with easy access to nature, then this is it!!

FYI- Addison is all the way at the top of Maine close to Canada! We chose this property because of the beautiful old house and close waterfront. We forgot how big Maine is! The house is large and had more space than we needed but it was nice to spread out since we live in a dense and busy city. This property is wonderful for children, half of the books in the library are children's books and the kids took over the exercise room on the second floor as their living room while we were there. Our favorite part was the large rock ledge just across the (rarely used) road. The kids roasted hot dogs and marshmallows for s'mores over the fire. In the morning we watched seals fishing in the bay right in front of us! Elizabeth, the owner of the property called right before the stay to tell us where everything is, how to get in, and to answer any questions. She is great! We enjoyed our stay very much. Oh, and bring bug spray! Though, if you forget, Elizabeth has that ready for you too ;-)

This was our second time staying at the farmhouse. The house is kept in excellent condition, amenities are numerous, and the location is just perfect. We love that the kitchen is well stocked so we really didn't need to bring anything but food. The kayaks, canoe, bikes, and tubes were bonuses and put to good use. It is peaceful and a lovely place to stay.

Our whole experience was fantastic! The house is amazing! The kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking items you might need. There is a dishwasher! That was a game-changer for this vacation. And speaking of game changers, there is also a washer and dryer! That was a wonderful addition to the ease of traveling with kiddos. The property owners were great! Very communicative and sent us a very helpful list of things to know about the area. They also went above and beyond and made sure that some food staples were stocked, a stick of butter, salt, pepper, and lots of spices. It was so nice to know that we didn't need to pack or buy those items. There was also a great library, that also made for less packing as we didn't need to bring a stack of kids' books! The area was great! We kayaked right in the cove across the street and biked down the road, it's a nice 2 mile out and back mostly dirt road. The kids loved Sandy River Beach a 15-minute drive from the house. My one heads up would be if you are traveling with little kiddos the house has a set of stairs that might be problematic/hard to block off if needed. We were so sad to leave! And will definitely be back!

The house is old but has been modernized enough to be very comfortable while retaining the charm of an old house. The kitchen is totally modern--nice to have the dishwasher! The living room is lovely, as are the bedrooms. We didn't take advantage of all the amenities on offer, such as kayaking or swimming, but a younger group would love them. It's a great base for exploring Down East Maine. I loved hiking on Great Wass Island and Ingersoll Point, both recommended in the materials that came with the house. Liz, the property manager, called me the day before our stay to go over details and that worked very well. I had a chance to ask questions, and she also gave me her number in case we needed to reach her.
