Lovely location
The house was spacious but not luxurious by any stretch. The bed linens were sub par and offering 1 towel per adult for a 3 night stay was bad. Yes, there was a washer dryer but we didn’t go on vacation to do laundry. The location was quiet.

Much needed Family time and we could bring our dogs
This beautiful old farmhouse is just amazing so much space welcoming a really beautiful piece of property we truly enjoyed sitting on the front porch for coffee and on the back porch later in the day to watch the sunset. The bonus room was and awesome space for the two dogs to frolic together and we would not have to worry about them being in the main house it reminded all of us of what it must have been like to live in that era a really great place to spend time

Fantastic
What a wonderful stay. Just what we were hoping for! The hosts were super responsive even when a problem arose from the previous guests. The location and setting are wonderful. The house is comfortable and has everything we needed for two weeks. Love it. Thank you!

Authentic rural farmhouse exceeded our expectations and made everyone happy in our large group.
The farmhouse was absolutely perfect for us: spacious private bedrooms with lovely rural views accommodated three couples; plus separate sleeping quarters for two families' kids in two rooms downstairs in a pull-out sofa and a day bed. The wonderful huge dining table accommodated 12 people easily, and on occasion 15 when we had visitors join us for meals. The kitchen was exceptionally well provided with cooking and serving ware for a crowd. (We didn't realize that the broiler was under the main oven at first :) All the bedrooms had ceiling fans and two window ventilation, so we did not suffer from heat.The game room was just separate enough that we could monitor the happily engaged kids without being intruded upon. There is a great outdoor play area for young kids, and table games perfect for kids and adults. The front porch was a delight: we sat out there rain or shine, singing and playing music. The flower beds were lovely, including an herb garden! It's on a low-traffic country road, with easy access to Megunticook Lake and wonderful lake swimming and kayaking. We picked plentiful wild blueberries up nearby Maiden's Cliff Rd. right off Youngtown Rd, on a ridge with beautiful views. Fantastic! There are two bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, so for the large number of people we had, it took a bit of thoughtful cooperation, but it was fine. The special charm of this house, which felt informal, authentic and at home with the country setting, made us all happy.

Beautiful farm house in a year location
We loved our stay and had a great time. The property has a great well stocked kitchen, nice yard and just overall a lot of room to relax. The location is near several nice towns. Would love to stay again in the future.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

Located adjacent to Camden Hills State Park we love to hike the trails. Walk over to the Cellar Door Winery for wine tasting and scenery. The farmhouse is located just about midway between 4 of our favorites activities. Short drives will take you swimming at Barretts Cove in Megunticook Lake, building sand castles at Lincolnville Beach, feeding the ducks and looking a the windjammers in Camden Harbor, or skipping stones and watching the tides at Ducktrap .
