We loved this place! It’s like a mix of country/rustic and modern/bougie. It’s kinda in the middle of nowhere and yet it’s easy to access lots of beautiful mid-coast Maine within 20-60 minutes. The barn/cottage is obviously a second home for the owners, you get the feel that you’re in someone’s home, and yet it’s also really set up well for your enjoyment. We brought our dog (reasonable add-on cost), who really enjoyed the backyard. The night sky was dark and clear the first night, and it was amazing how many individual stars we could see, as well as the Milky Way. Would definitely stay again!
Having said that, I wasn’t thrilled with how Evolve handled the listing details and complicated the rental process - having VRBO in the middle between host and renter is complicated enough.
