We loved our time last year so much that we returned this summer. Both our dog and our child loved all the house and woods had to offer. We hope to return next year as well.

The property is absolutely beautiful. The house was welcoming and well kept. Even with a little guy, it was relaxing and rejuvenating. Being on the river was breath taking and made for some incredible sunset watching! We truly enjoyed our time and hope to visit again in the future!

This place was good enough for the price but there were carpenter ants crawling everywhere and the dryer did not work. While we felt it was an okay stay for the price, after we checked out the host is trying to extort us saying we broke the kitchen counter and the futon (that no one even slept on). Do NOT stay here

Amazing home in the woods

What a wonderful stay ! The home is well equipped and very comfortable ! Went on walking trails - all within 30 minutes from the house- the river and sunset on the dock were amazing ! Prettiest sunsets I’ve ever seen / the colors were so vibrant . The only negative of the entire stay was the screened in porch smelled terribly of cats - we couldn’t use it - but we just kept the door shut and used the rest of the house !! We will definitely be back !!

Great home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A very neat home/setup. The house sits back from the road which we appreciated and it was very quiet. The kids loved the house too. Very easy drive to Old Orchard Beach too. We would definitely stay again.
