This was our second time staying here and was even more enjoyable as we took the time to enjoy the outside spaces. Loved having breakfast on the sunny patio and walking around the grounds. Sarah is an awesome and generous host! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook a couple yummy lobster dinners. Bed is comfy. Love the shower room mosaic. Location is convenient to our favorite places to visit. All in all a very relaxing stay! Thank you Sarah!

This is a unique and truly amazing space! So much color, sunlight and beauty. Peaceful ambiance. Spacious Well equipped and comfortable. Pictures do not do it justice. Sarah is a wonderful host! We enjoyed the art and the outside space as well. Location provides plenty of privacy yet close to our favorite places in Maine. Thank you for hosting us Sarah

This house is cute with lots of area outside to explore. It's kept fairly clean, but we noticed lots of hair in the shower room and dirt under the rugs. The hosts had great communication which we appreciated. Some challenges we encountered was the lack of an actual stove/oven, no washer/dryer, and the shower being a completely separate room (which had no lock) from the rest of the bathroom. We had one towel each for the 5 days we stayed, which isn't something we are used to. I couldn't recommend this property to families with small children, as there are lots of ceramic pieces throughout which could be broken, and paper mache art for sale that could entice small hands. There is also no bathtub, so that would pose a challenge for bathtime with kids. We were a little disappointed that this property was not as secluded as we hoped. The road is a short distance from the house and clearly visible (and audible). The sunrises here are gorgeous, though. Unfortunately, the sacred circle was overgrown, and the pond was filled with algae. Our son thoroughly enjoyed looking for frogs in there! We appreciate the opportunity to stay, but our next visit will probably be either on the coast or closer to Acadia. Something that we didn't expect, being from the midwest, was the lack of "towns" here. We are used to every town having a center with businesses, shops, and restaurants. That is nonexistent here. Unless you're on the coast...which made the lack of laundry facilities a major issue.

WOW, didn't expect this review. I do apologize that you didn't enjoy your stay, but as stated in my listing I do not have a W/D and we are a very eco friendly space, hence the solar panels and working organic gardens. There were always extra linens and towels in the closets if needed which is mentioned in the welcome book. Unfortunately you stayed during a terrible drought/heatwave and our area was in some of the worst of it causing algae blooms in our frog pond as well as the entire East coast. No fighting mother nature. Kids are always welcome if there is broken pottery that's what mosaics are made of, that's why I always have art supplies at the ready. Hope you find a place more accommodating for your next stay.
