It was nice. Close enough to the highway and main roads but set far enough off the road that you couldn't really hear anything.

Brian and Luana have created an absolutely charming oasis on their property in Maine. The grounds are stunning, and the accommodations themselves are lovely. Brian has handmade all the furniture, and Luana’s styling and decorating are perfect. Their cute dog Oscar was the cherry on top! We thoroughly enjoyed and look forward to staying there again in the future!

Wonderful Area

WE picked the time (early October) to see the foliage and visit a friend. We spent several days seeing the sights: maritime museum, botanical gardens, etc. and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The Smiths were excellent hosts and were very knowledgeable about the surrounding area.

Lovely Little Spot

The property was clean and comfortable and just right for our needs. The owners were there to greet us on arrival, and we got bonus pupper cuddles from Oscar :) A great location to explore to the north and the south, it was an ideal location for our visit to Maine.

Great spot. Oscar really is the best host, loves to say hi when he sees you. Bed was comfy. Good base to explore all of Maine. Only trouble is being a big guy in the smaller shower.

Cozy, Comfortable Winter Retreat

The Twin Ponds Suite was a wonderful spot for our December long weekend. Great, quiet location, but easy drive South to Brunswick/Freeport/Portland or North to Bath/Boothbay Harbor. We spent a few nights just hanging in the suite and the space was great for cozy hangs - all the amenities. Luana and Brian were amazing hosts and we look forward to returning!

Had a wonderful stay!!!

My wife and I had a great experience at Twin Ponds, the host are wonderful, thank you Brian and Luana and Oscar 🐾. The property is beautiful and our suite was cozy and had everything we needed. This was a once in a lifetime trip to explore the beautiful coast of Maine and we couldn't have picked a better place to enjoy our stay. We highly recommend Twin Ponds if you are planning a trip to Maine, great location a half a mile from I-295 and about forty minutes from Portland international jetport.

Beautiful relaxing spot

This was a great place to stay for me and a friend. The hosts were warm and welcoming. The space was cozy yet also had plenty of room and everything we needed. The space outside was beautiful with bird feeders, trail for a walk, pretty trees and a pond. The town was nice and quiet with easy access to other places for things to do. Loved it!

Convenient Mid-coast Maine Location

Idyllic setting with apple, pear and peach trees on the property. Bird feeder in front of my sitting area allowed me to enjoy bird watching with my morning coffee. The location allowed for easy driving distance to Maine Botanical Gardens and Hardy Boat Puffin Cruises in Booth Bay and excursions to Bowdoinham College and Bath Maine. Hosts are very accomodating. Suite was tastefully decorated with painting of local artist- very calming atmosphere.

Cozy, easy access and convenient

We were very pleased with this attractive, comfortable and well-built suite. The owers and kind and helpful. The space was nicely organized and tastefully decorated. There is tons of great lighting and at least 4 comfy spaces to curl up and read a good book. We found sufficient space for storing clothes and other items. The kitchen has everything you would need to cook a 5 course meal! The property is very close to the highway - which was super convenient - yet it is far enough removed that we never heard any noise. The outdoor landscaping and walkway was beautifully tended. It was so much fun to watch the variety of birds that gathered daily at the feeder outside the window! The location of this property and ease of access make it a great choice to explore the area. We made trips to Brunswick, Topsam and Bath, particularly enjoying the haddock at the Kennebeck Tavern and the impressive displays at the Maritime Museum, both located in Bath. We hope to return in the spring!
