We were very happy with our stay at the Friendship Boat House. There was a lot of history in this house which our Grandkids enjoyed so much. Everything was so nice and handy to get to other towns and enjoy the beaches, ocean and fishing areas. We will stay at this place again.

The home worked for what we were looking for. Upstairs was nice with a private bathroom. Nice to get fresh lobster right from the Friendship wharf!

Standard of Exellence

Everything was beyond expectations. The neighborhood was quiet. The stars were visible and a nice deck to enjoy the experience. Big back yard for the dogs to explore. The kitchen was large and well stocked. One of the best features was large windows throughout the house so you could take in stunning sunsets.We went to the Damariscotta Pumpkin Festival and it was a short drive away.The house is very classy and it has alot of interesting facts about its history.We would come back. Thank You

Ok Boathouse

The owner was very responsive and helpful, which was the best thing about the stay. The property was clean, but the layout was not great. You had to walk through a bathroom to get to a bedroom. The couch in the living area was stained and old. The biggest problem was the bedroom upstairs had no shades or curtains so the sun came in right over the bed, which was also really uncomfortable with the thin mattress and metal frame

Hi Rose, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:- The unique layout of the home is a result of changes made to meet family needs over time.- A deep shampoo of the couch and carpet is scheduled for this fall after a busy summer season.- We are exploring options for adding blinds to the third-floor bedroom to address the issue with morning light. Additionally, the mattress and bed frame are being reviewed to ensure they meet guest comfort standards.Thank you again for providing such valuable feedback. We appreciate your insights as we continue to improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon!

We enjoy the home we stay in at Freindship, ME as it fits our families needs well and is located in a great place. The only complaint I would have is the house was not very clean when we got there, the floors did not seem to be vacuumed well and if you do not like steps this is not the house for you. Also, there is no smart TV, you can stream with Roko but that's it. But it was nice to go without a TV for the week for us.
