Very unique, fun place to stay

The Brookside house was a very unique and fun place for us to stay, the record collection was a plus! It was easy to find and a great spot to get to Sunday River for skiers and walking trails for others. Lots of unique rooms and plenty of room for people to stay and hang out.

Family stay

We had a great few days. The house is large, comfortable beds, clean, nice and close to Mt Abram and an easy quick drive to Sunday River for skiing. Enough place to relax and play games as well as all eat together as a family. The driveway was nice and big which made turning really easy so we didn’t have to back out. Thanks for sharing your place.

great old farm house

This is a great property for groups with lots of space to spread out. The game room was a fun plus and is separate from the family room, etc. so lots of activities can be going on without interfering with each other. It has a basic kitchen but functional. Good location for skiing access.!

Fantastic House for a Large Family Ski Gathering

My family and I stayed here during MLK Jr. Weekend in January 2025. In total, 4 adults, 4 teenagers, and one child stayed the weekend. We even had 2 other family members stop by for dinner one night. Plenty of room for everyone. It is a quirky old house with abundant charm and character, which we all enjoyed. Did I mention it is about 1½ miles down the road from Mt Abram and about 20 minutes from Sunday River? We plan on staying there again.

Old, charming house. As a house from 1850 it has some flaws, which the owner has compensated with impeccable service. I don't see what I could complain about.

Abundance of room for our Sunday River trip

We had more than enough room for the 6 of us here. The young adults enjoyed the game room after a long day of skiing Convenient to Sunday River. I packed a case of water but did not need it thanks to the water cooler. Shut out to their amazing plow driver for not plowing me in while we were out in the other car

the house is very old, but worked out for our big group.

it is indeed a VERY OLD house, but it has 3 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms, and specious living room, where we all could get together comfortably. So for our big group it did work. It's a short ride to Sunday River, and you can walk to Mount Abram, where we took a nice hike. There is no dishwasher, but that for our group it wasn't important (could be deal breaker for someone).

A Delight!

We stayed at the property over the Presidents day weekend. The house is very large and everyone had plenty of space. We enjoyed listening to records, playing cards and cooking in the new kitchen. It’s only about 15 minutes to Sunday River. Our only regret was not staying longer! Note, that the house is rustic-if you are looking for the Marriott keep scrolling. This is a unique old home and it has some old home quirks but we loved it! Thanks for having us. See you again!

Unique gem

My husband, kids (10 and 15), in-laws and two pups LOVED our stay over the 4th of July weekend. As others have stated, the home is older, but it a quaint comfortable way. The main bathroom was recently remodeled and we had the benefit of being the first guests to use the updated kitchen! The game room was amazing! Kids went the whole long weekend off phones and video games...by choice! They are now convinced we need a bumper pool table! There was plenty of room for every one...and then some. The home is well stocked with everything you need to just kick back and relax. For dog owners, the beach down the road does not allow dogs, but there is a spot right across the street where you can hop in the water, launch boats, kayaks, and paddle boards. Would absolutely stay here again. Such a great experience!

Good Maine getaway for a large group

This Locke Mills house is roomy and comfortable. Lots of entertainment options in the Game Room. Pet friendly to boot. Easy drive to Sunday River and reasonably close to Shawnee. Plenty of beds and plenty of places to sit both for eating and for socializing. Other than the house being old--something that I liked, but it's a matter of taste, the only downside was the tap water is very hard. The host keeps prenty of bottles water on hand. It was fine for washing and bathing, but we stuck to the bottled water for drinking and cooking. On the faring through unexpected events front, the area had a bad wind storm that knocked out power for a day (along with about 20,000 other houses in the area). Our host was very responsive, quickly bringing in a generator to make sure we stayed warm. Overall, this Locke Mills house was a very good value, and we all had a good time during our vaction.
