Lovely stay at this home. So many local hikes and easy drives to places like Portland and Portsmouth. Beautiful part of the coast to explore and a well equipped house to come home to
The place was really great. While not “in-town” the location was ideal as it’s across the street from a grocery store and a few restaurants to make life easy.Beds were really comfortable and the place was really clean. Would highly recommend this home for families, it made for a great long weekend stay
