old & rustic
the property was okay - the floors were very uneven and rugs/transitions between rooms were trip hazards. The kitchen was minimally stocked. Also, there were bugs (dead & alive) in the bathrooms. We rented this property for the 3 bathrooms. Property Mgr was good and responsive.

Lovely stay
We had a great stay. Host is a wonderful guy, super responsive and helpful. House was mostly clean, couch and ottoman could use a cleaning, and somehow mosquitos and moths get in upstairs bathroom. And for sleeping a large group there isn't much dining table space, but we should've looked closer at the pictures. Outlets aren't particularly close to bed so pack an extension cord. But the beds were comfortable and the area is nice.

Perfect Spot!
Our family found this property to be the perfect spot for us. It was very clean and had all the accessories we needed for a pleasant stay. We were close to Acadia National Park which had many fun things to do. We would highly recommend this home.

Great Place!
My family enjoyed the stay and it was centrally located to all the places we visited.
The stay was amazing! I took a large group of people to Acadia and the workers were very accommodating and friendly. Make sure to bring your own firewood for the pits outback! Lol

Quick Graduation Trip
It was a quick overnight graduation trip to Orono and of course I waited too late to book. This was about 45 minutes from UMaine but that was better than a 3 1/2 hour trip from home! The location was right of Rte 1 and close to everything we might need, including Walmart. The house was huge and very clean, just like the pictures. A few things to consider when staying - the stairs going to the second floor were steep, so watch young kids and older parents (this is an old house with lots of character that was renovated); there are some transition strips or door sashes that are not flat so make sure you step up. It is like this in many homes but better to mention it than to stub a toe! Our trip was super short so we did not get to enjoy the backyard or surrounding area very much. The owner was fantastic when my son and his girlfriend decided to spend the night before graduation with us rather than at UMaine. I contacted him and he immediately responded with a "no problem!". I would recommend this location to anyone, especially if you have a large group!

Great Vacation Getaway In Maine
This property was a lot of fun to stay at. It’s a charming, rustic two story cottage with plenty of room for the 10 of us traveling together. It’s 5-10 minutes from Ellsworth and 45 minutes from Acadia. We really enjoyed our time there. Our host, Jon, was great. Each time I contacted him, he responded almost immediately and was very helpful. All towels and linens are provided and there’s plenty of pans and dishes for cooking. We had a little trouble watching a movie (it kept buffering and quitting on us) because the Wi-Fi was overwhelmed, but everything else was great. I would highly recommend this property!
