Couldn’t have been better!

We loved everything about our multi-week stay here. Beautiful, cozy home with stunning views from every room. And Will was incredibly accessible (by phone/text), helpful, and hospitable. Would 100% recommend and stay here again.

Great view. Great location.

This place worked well for us. We spent 3 weeks in the fall here. We found the location to be really convenient -- on the water and close to Brunswick. The view of the water was excellent. The owner was great at responding to our questions. We brought some kayaks and could paddle from right in front of the house (using the stairs down to the water). Good wifi coverage that we needed to stay in touch with work. Convenient to a couple of nearby restaurants, trails, and a nice little wine shop.

Cozy

Enjoyed the quiet and solitude of the waterside location. Renters should be aware that the living room can only accommodate four people comfortably. Since we were a group of five one of us had to sit in the dining area which had no view of the TV. In addition the bathrooms are dated and could benefit from an upgrade.

Ideal set up for our family!

This property met my family’s needs on so many levels! It was charming, cozy and comfortable! We had a rainy week, but it didn’t dampen our vacation! Just light the fire and enjoy!
