Another great vacation!

Again, my family and I had a wonderful time in Tenants Harbor. The house is very comfortable, plenty of bedrooms and 2 full baths is a plus! Weather was a mix of rain/fog and sunshine. Water was great for swimming. Hope to do it again next year for our third year at 50 Spruce Lane!

Serene and private with a fantastic location on the mid-coast

I rented this very property 41 years ago from Linda's parents and I have been coming here off and on throughout the years. It feels like a home away from home. The setting is delightful: quiet, private and serene. The home has had beneficial improvements through the years, with all the conveniences one could want. I look forward to getting my "Maine Fix" while staying in this most enjoyable place.

Good family place close to beach

The house was well stocked with kitchen implements. The heat pump was great for the 90 degree days. Beds were old and hard. The was the only disappointment for this property. Most VRBO properties I have stayed at have this problem. VRBO SHOULD HAVE A STANDARD FOR BEDS AND BEDDING.

Thank you for your review. Every year we try to make one or 2 improvements, i.e., the the stairs outside, the heat pump for cooling and the new couches. The next improvement will be new mattresses. Thank you for pointing out this need to me. We appreciate you letting us know about the mattresses and the issue will be addressed. Our aim to alway to provide a comfortable place to rest and relax on your vacation.

Lovely house is a beautiful location

My parents, friends, and me enjoyed loved the location of the house. We will love to come back again, hopefully for most relaxed trip. I'd definitely recommend this house to my friends and other network. I have only one suggestion, the top floor of the house gets really really hot in summer. So it would be great if there are additional heavy duty fans in the house. Thanks Preeti
Response from VrboOwner on 27 March 2020
Dear Preeti: Thank you so much for your lovely review! The Spruce Lane Cottage will be delighted to host your friends and family in the future. Also, thank you for the information on the fans, I will address the fan situation immediately. Sincerely, Linda Eller, Owner

Quiet and secluded Maine Getaway

I have stayed at the Spruce Lane Cottage with my family and friends for many years now and look forward to my return. The cottage is on hill in a clearing that offers stargazing at night and wonderful sunshine during the day. Every year an upgrade is made to the cottage making it comfortable, updated and clean. The wrap around porch presents and ideal setting for coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. The upstairs allows the teenagers to have their own area for play, sleep and late night activity while the adults can have time on their own downstairs. Great location in Maine for jumping off on day trips and far enough from southern Maine to give you a real feel of the coast of Maine. Two nice small villages are nearby as well as some fantastic dinning.

Well-Equipped And Comfortable

My husband and I, along with our parents, thoroughly enjoyed our four-night stay at this Spruce Lane Cottage. We found the cottage to be well-equipped and very comfortable for the six of us. I loved that the cottage had two full bathrooms and four bedrooms, with three of the bedrooms containing queen-sized beds. We also enjoyed having our coffee on the deck each morning -- what a beautiful way to wake up! Being familiar with the area, we chose this cottage for its quiet St. George Peninsula location in the beautiful town of Tenants Harbor. In addition, it provided us with easy access to Port Clyde, Owls Head, and the larger communities of Rockland, Rockport, and Camden all just short drives away. We were extremely pleased with our stay at the lovely Spruce Lane Cottage, and I am looking forward to a return visit!

Perfect little house in a perfect little town

We chose spruce lane cottage because it was in a small quiet town but not too far from the larger city with the tourists attractions and a short drive to few beaches. We really enjoy small town vibes and tenants harbor was just what we were looking for. The cottage was a stones throw away from the water which was a nice walk to and watch the boats come and go. We went to drift inn beach just down the road a few times, the kids really enjoyed exploring during low tide. We bought live lobsters from the general store and cooked them at the cottage which was a neat experience for us midwestern folk. Overall we had a wonderful time. The cottage was the perfect size and had everything we could have needed. The bedrooms were good sized and having two bathrooms was so nice! We absolutely fell in love with Tenants Harbor and we’re so glad we stayed at spruce lane cottage. 10/10 would recommend and would definitely stay again!

Quiet and serene

Was exactly what we needed for our stay with our pups. It was a quiet area and sunrises over the ocean were beautiful. The road leading to the property was a little tricky for our car but once we learned how to maneuver on it, it was fine. We had a very enjoyable stay 😁

Thank you so much for your kind review!. I am delighted that the quiet environment at the cottage's location that is also near the ocean and harbor was just what you needed. We have endeavored to provide a comfortable and restful place to return to after enjoying either a walk with your dogs around the block or into the village or exploration of mid coast Maine.

This is a very nice property in a quiet neighborhood. While there is no direct view of the ocean you are steps away from an ocean vista so this is a great spot to use as a convenient base.

Perfect location in Tenants Harbor

Very clean and functional home, very quiet, lovely grounds, short walk to the general store, and owners were accommodating about bringing our 4 month old puppy and about an unplanned slightly late check out. Kitchen and baths serviceable but nothing fancy. Would stay again!

A cozy secluded cottage on the coast of Maine.

Just as described. Nothing fancy but all the basics are there. Close to boating opportunities. Large private backyard. Beautiful scenery and beach nearby. Note: Road is a seasonal gravel road that would be difficult to navigate in car with limited ground clearance.

6/10 Okay

Not what I expected.

i will not return to house. It wasn't in a convenient location, no washer dryer unit for doing clothes, and you can't see harbor from house because trees block your view. We cleaned up pretty nicely, but was still charge a crazy amount from our deposit. This house was not what I expected.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 March 2020
It is unfortunate that you were not pleased with the Cottage, however, nowhere in our online description is there mention of a water view from the property, nor is a washer and dryer mentioned in our list of amenities. We ask our guests to leave the Cottage in the same clean condition that it was upon their arrival. We sincerely regret that we had to deduct from your deposit, however, what usually takes one housekeeper 2 to 3 hours to clean took 2 housekeepers 4 ½ hours each to clean and delayed our next guests from taking occupancy for 1 ½ hours. We want to return our guests' damage/extra cleaning deposits in full and it is in our best interests to do so. In this case, we had to deduct the cost of additional cleaning.
