The property was clean, and our host was beyond excellent in her communication. She was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The home has a lot of older-home character, and it was a bit more rustic than we anticipated: the stairs are quite narrow, and the floors and beds are on the squeaky side. That’s understandable in an older home, but it’s worth knowing ahead of time, especially for anyone with mobility concerns or light sleepers. Overall, a clean, well-cared-for stay with a wonderful host.

I love this Searsport house!

Our small family gathering was enhanced with our stay at Heroncrest. The parlors and dining room were comfortable and well appointed; the bedrooms had character and we all slept well. Lovely gardens and great proximity to food and recreation up and down highway 1. Our two weeks zoomed by and I’m already dreaming of returning next year!

Beautiful property, host is incredibly responsive and helpful. There isn’t a/c in the bedrooms, so might feel warm for those who are use to it. Went for the 4th of July, the town of Searsport had fun activities, and Belfast has fun restaurants and shops.

This property exceeded our expectations. It was a delightful older New England rambling house with wonderful art, furniture, and a fully set up kitchen. It was not far from route 1, but far enough back to not be a problem. Cobb Rd dead-ended at a nature reserve of 170 acres, all wooded. The flower and herb gardens around the house were lovely, and we made pies from the rhubarb. We were delighted to find a brand new supercharger in Searsport to charge our EV only 5 miles away. The beds were comfortable and the linens plentiful, and the laundry machines were up to date. Communication with the owner was excellent. We went kayaking, puffin watching, ate lobster at Young's.

Perfect Spot

This was the perfect spot to stay with my husband, our four year old son, my parents, and our two dogs. The house was clean and very spacious with more than enough room for us all. The yard is beautiful and peaceful. We were lucky enough that our stay fell while the lupins, peonies, and roses were all in bloom all over the property. There were fireflies in the evening over the field. We had easy day trips all over the midcoast: Boothbay and the botanical gardens, Camden, Belfast, Castine, Stonington, and Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows Bridge Observatory. My son's favorite was the Solstice Festival in Sears Island. So much to see and do nearby but the home was private and quiet. Check in and out could not have been easier. Can't wait to come back to the area!

Lovely Home and Beautiful Perennial Gardens

My husband and I had a wonderful extended stay at this lovely home. Carolyn’s photographs and details of Heroncrest really appealed to me and the home and property exceeded my expectations. I felt peacefulness and tranquility both inside the home and sitting outside surrounded by all the fragrant and colorful perennial gardens. The kitchen offered everything you might need or want, including a collection of cookbooks, a variety of spices, and every kitchen tool you would need. Each and every room is beautifully appointed and inviting. The home is located in a great location near restaurants and so many activities. We visited the Botanical Gardens in Booth Bay and Acadia National Park during our stay. Heroncrest is a treasure, and Carolyn is an excellent and lovely host. We stayed at this wonderful home while we awaited our new granddaughter’s birth and her arrival and Heroncrest will always be interwoven in my heart.

A Nostalgic Getaway

I grew up in a small village in the remote hinterlands of the St. Lawrence River Valley in northern New York. Many of my paternal antecedents were French Canadien dairy farmers. This Searsport farm felt like a trip back to the bygone days of my youthful past, a visit to home. The building and property were delightful, the kitchen was commodious, the beds fine, the decor very homey and interesting. Although we ended up with six adults and one two-year old child, there was room to accommodate several more. Even with 90-degree days the nights were cool enough to sleep well. I mention the following to advise Carolyn for future guests. The ground fault outlet to the right of the sink has seen better days and popped off. Rather than play with circuit breakers in the cellar we plugged the coffee pot in elsewhere. And the split A/C unit was not working until someone came and fixed it. I mention this not in complaint, these items were too minor for worry or concern, but merely as information for your maintenance people. We have a son in Portland and relatives on Branch Lake near Ellsworth so hope to return to this Searsport farm again. I was a licensed Professional Engineer but in retirement give poetry tours and lectures at the farm/estate of Edna St. Vincent Millay in Austerlitz, New York. So we have an abiding interest in the Camden/Belfast area and would definitely return to this Searsport farm and recommend it to others. It's not the same old type of place one sees everywhere.

This property was a great place for our extended family of 6 adults a 7 year old and an 11 month old. Plenty of space indoor and outside and many amenities.Beautiful scenery, adorable house and a host who was accommodating and on top of things. Close to quaint towns and shops but privately situated on beautiful property. We felt right at home and all plan to return to this lovely home.

"Home Sweet Home"

Dawn's Review: My husband Gerard and I had the privilege of staying at Heroncrest the first week of October. From our first conversation with the property owner, Carolyn Hearne several days before our trip we had the feeling we were talking to a long time friend. The moment we arrived we could feel the peace and beauty of our surroundings (inside and outside the house). It was like stepping into the home of a cherished relative from the past as we explored the ramblings rooms which included a large kitchen, dining room and living room and many bedrooms all decorated with exquisite antiques which perfectly complimented this 1840's home that was built by a Sea Captain. Every room was a reflection of the love and beauty of Carolyn's personal touch. We were surprised and pleased to discover 2 cozy sitting rooms (where we would spend the evenings). During the day we enjoyed spending time on the back deck and in the charming weathered gazebo out front. October was a perfect time of year to visit with the colorful leaves, warm days and cool evenings. Carolyn's home was a piece of heaven. She is an amazing hostess and was available throughout our stay by text and phone to answer any questions we had. Gerard's Review: Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen of the VRBO Audience, My name is Gerard, husband of my wife Dawn. When inquiring about the house rental with the home owner Carolyn Hearne, Immediately SERENITY filled my Spirit with her Mannerism that was RESPECTFUL and Extremely PROFESSIONAL with a Strong ALLEGIENCE to EMBRACING her Relationship with HONESTY and WARMTH in her dealings with my wife and I. Every room in her home was a REFLECTION of Carolyn Hearne's CREATIVITY and PASSION, COMPLEMENTING and INFLUENCING the overall SPIRIT of the home Summary: Gerard and I felt like we were home and hated to leave. Possibly taking us one step closer to becoming "Mainiacs" I

Disappointing

There were many wonderful things about our family trip to Maine and part of which included where we stayed. The house was in a good location with easy access to multiple towns and places to explore, but out of the busyness and traffic of other areas. Acquire a piece of landWith turkeys and deer and other wildlife. The homeowner was very responsive. The difficulties were about structural issues of the house that caused several hassles, inconveniences and frustrations that interfered with our stay. The cleanliness and outdated and overused stay in kitchen towels also were disappointing.

Searsport vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed this house. It was much bigger than we expected, loaded with nice extras and so comfortable for our family reunion in Maine. We hired a local photographer to take family pics in the beautiful yard. Thank you, Carolyn. We loved it!

Loved This Charming, Sprawling Home

Six members of our family gathered here from Seattle and Shepherdstown WV. Such a lovely, homey and soulful place. And amazingly well equipped-especially the kitchen. Plenty of room to gather, or to find a quiet spot to nap. Lovely meadows and an old apple orchard to roam as well. Great home base to explore Belfast to the south, and the Blue Hill Peninsula (LOVED Castine) and Acadia. Thank you, Carolyn, for all of your suggestions and for sharing your charming home with us.

Perfect house for a Brady Bunch Vacation

Clean, well kept up, looks like pictures, roomy 2 bathroom, great assistance from the owner if an issue arose and she was very prompt in getting back to me. Definitely worth the investment and I will be keeping it in mind of future events.

Enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed our three nights here. Carolyn was very easy to communicate with and she made the house very accommodating for our 8 year old and 3 month old. The house was well equipped with everything we needed to grill a couple meals. My family also enjoyed seeing several wild turkeys walking through the backyard. I would definitely stay here again.
