Wonderful Stay

Judy and Skip are delightful and welcoming hosts and the apartment has everything one could need including a lobster pot. The property is magical in itself and we enjoyed our time there as much as the accessibility to many beautiful spots along the coast.

Maine Woods Getaway

Our family had a wonderful week at Judy and Skip’s place in the Maine woods. The VRBO pictures don’t do the property justice. Our family of four was very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed the extremely clean, well appointed apartment. Our extremely gracious hosts were the icing on the cake. We have stayed at several VRBO locations over the years and Judy and Skip were the best hosts we've encountered. I highly recommend this property for your next visit to mid-coast Maine.

Beautiful space living up with the trees

Judy and Skip have created a wonderful relaxing space - the kitchen is well appointed and they have very comfortable furniture. The property is full of gorgeous trees and this place makes you feel like you're living in the tree canopy. It's also very easy to get to some great places in mid-coast Maine - Belfast, Acadia.

Cozy cabin perfect for family of 3

We had a relax stay It's house above the garage, but it's really a cabin inside. Judy and Skip are just so wonderful. Judy had everything for us, it's really a turn-key vacation that we didn't have to bring anything. We got good reference for restaurants nd local favorites. I ended going to Glen Elis falls Skip recommended in Mt Washington area for the next week. It was quite a pleasant surprise!

Just right

Judy & Skip are such attentive hosts. This was the best little place to be our base from which to explore the Penobscot coastal towns. We bought lobster off the boat and were able to bring it back to the cabin and cook it ourselves because Judy & Skip had all the kitchen and table necessities - everything! Thanks Judy & Skip!

Perfect peace

We enjoyed our stay at Judy and Skip's. They were great hosts. They welcomed us in the rain with umbrellas and gave us a quick tour of the apartment when we arrived. The next morning Judy brought fresh baked blueberry muffins for us to enjoy. They were yummy. Our stay was very peaceful. We loved it. Thank you Judy and Skip. If we return to Maine, we would definitely stay at your cozy apartment again.

Comfortable cabin with great location and wonderful hosts!

We had a great time staying at the cabin and Judy and Skip were very hospitable and kind. Judy baked twice for us and cut fresh flowers twice as well. Skip took us out on his boat and let our boys drive. We all enjoyed the location. It was quiet and peaceful and convenient to many sights. Only 1 1/2 hr drive to Acadia, which was wonderful to visit. The beds in the cabin were very comfortable, everything was so clean and inviting. Many supplies are provided like mustard, ketchup, alum foil, toilet paper, and coffee, etc. Thank you Skip and Judy for a relaxing week in Maine!

Maine Getaway

Our hosts were kind, gracious and very hospitable We loved the apartment. It was very cozy. The kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen I've used since visiting Maine for the last 4 years. Our host, Judy brought us blueberry muffins, which were delicious. She invited us to her home for homemade blueberry pie one night. Skip and Judy taught us the game Racko. It was fun. The location was beautiful. We could hear the stream from our back patio.

COOL TEMPS IN AUGUST

My husband and I have enjoyed many trips to this part of the Maine coast over the past 20 years. Our earlier selections from VRBO were based on "in town" locations so that we could park the car upon arrival and then walk to shops and restaurants. However after discovering Skip and Judy's 'cabin in the woods', we are totally hooked. We loved sitting on the deck, listening to the creek while enjoying a cup of coffee and one of Judy's delcious fresh blueberry muffins. She and Skip spoiled us rotten while we were there! We felt like members of the family. Definitely coming back next year!!

Wonderful place!

This peaceful, immaculately clean, well-appointed two bedroom, beautiful pine-walled apartment and our caring hosts, Judy and Skip, made a wonderful home away from home. The deck overlooks a babbling stream and there are sunlit forest views from every room, yet the apartment is close to the ocean, groceries, shops, and all this special part of Maine offers. The kitchen is large with a dinette perfect for puzzles and meals, and a welcoming living room has a big TV with streaming and DVDs. A minisplit provides plenty of heat and air conditioning, and there's another A/C in the bedroom. We enjoyed a wonderful vacation in this beautiful place and thank Skip and Judy for their thoughtfulness.

Beautiful property in Maine woods, Wonderful VRBO hosts a bonus!

The apartment was very nice and everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The apartment was very clean. If you choose to eat in, the kitchen is nicely stocked with cookware, dishes and everything to enjoy a meal. The hosts left a dozen eggs and a stick of butter for our use. There was direct TV and dedicated WIFI. The apartment is close to Lincolnville, Camden and Belfast. Acadia and Bar Harbor was a lovely 1.5 hour drive away. Skip and Judy were available for questions and recommendations. Skip and Judy are the best VRBO hosts we have had and we hope to return for another stay.

Getaway with my boys 💙

I’ve decided to take my 3 boys back to Maine since it has been 10 years since they last visited. And this property was the perfect fit for my guys and I. It was near everything with a lot of things to do and see. We hiked Camden Hills State Park, sailed a schooner during sunset, checked out downtown Camden, walked Belfast, visited a beautiful church, stopped by 7 lighthouses and visited Bar Harbor when we went to Acadia. We ate a lot of lobster rolls! All this even though the weather wasn’t the most ideal some days. Judy & Skip were great hosts & responded immediately. We enjoyed the blueberry muffins and mint chocolate brownies during our stay baked by Judy. My boys and I fit comfortably in the very well stocked apartment. I have never stayed at a place where I only needed to bring my clothes because everything else is already there. I have 3 teenagers and they all said how much they enjoyed their long weekend. They even asked if we could come back to the same place soon. Wonderful retreat !

Magical little wooded retreat!

We were so thrilled to have happened upon this wonderful apartment while browsing VRBO! Judy & Skip are the absolute ideal couple & made our entire stay so comfortable & welcoming without being intrusive. The apartment had everything we needed. In fact, we have rented many other places & would say, they had the apartment stocked better then any other we have ever experienced. The baked treats that were left for us(baked by Judy) were delicious & a wonderful surprise that we so appreciated! There were even butter & eggs in the refrigerator upon our arrival! We can’t say enough about the fabulous stay we had here! Can’t wait to return to enjoy more chats with Judy & Skip & explore more of our favorite area of Maine!

Senior week getaway

A group of myself and four other people stayed here as a post-graduation celebration and I couldn't recommend it more! Its position right beside the creek provides a beautiful view from the deck and is very calming. However, the best part about this rental are the hosts- Skip and Judy were very kind and it was wonderful to stay with them (For anyone out there who's food motivated, they were kind enough to leave brownies for when we arrived and provided delicious blueberry muffins for our first morning in Maine). The space is small and cozy, but we found that it worked perfectly for our party of five. There's also a grocery store & gas station right down the road so that's super convenient as well. It's just a calm and lovely place to stay; we were there for a week but I would've been happy to spend a couple extra days there. Hopefully we'll be back again someday!

Everything you could need!

We had such a great time at Skip & Judy’s apartment in the woods! Every morning we had turkeys out the window, red squirrels jumping in the trees and the sound of the little stream flowing through the rocks down the hill from the home! Communication with Judy was spectacular, she even asked us about our kids ages to make sure she had toys all prepped and ready in the shed for them to use! Full washer and drier were super handy, fridge had butter, eggs and other necessities for us when we got there! Place was very clean and we had no problems! There was a huge list of places to go & places to eat. If a quiet little place in the woods is what you’re looking for than this is it! Perfectly placed between Belfast & Lincolnville!

Our week at the apartment in the woods.

We just returned from a week stay. Our rental was clean and well stocked. Skip and Judy made sure that the apartment was "move in ready" with everything from a new in the packaging toothbrush in case you forget yours to cooking spray in the cabinet. The fridge had a dozen eggs and a stick of butter placed for us to have. Judy made homemade blueberry muffins for our first morning wake up and mint brownies for our day on the lake. The apartment was clean and welcoming. Skip and Judy were wonderful hosts that we had talked with on a regular basis for their suggestions. Skip took part of our group out on his boat for a morning on the lake. I would definitely return to this apartment if we visited Maine again.

We loved Mr. Skip and Mrs. Judy's place

Our family of six stayed here. Three of the older children shared the bunk beds and we also had an infant use a pack and play that was provided. The place is very child friendly. You need not travel with toys as there are bins with toys for the kids. The apartment was very clean. The apartment truly has everything you need. They also provided beach items like toys and chairs. Mrs. Judy baked twice for our family. We really fell in love with Mrs. Judy and Mr. Skip as much as we did with their apartment. They were truly accommodating, friendly and just lovely people. We felt like they struck just the right balance with accommodating their guests and giving privacy to their guests. Lobster night in the apartment with Judy's help was memorable and a day on Megunticook lake with Skip who let all the children drive the boat was another. We loved that we could easily get to Camden, Belfast, Owls Head and Rockport. We will be back next year.

PEACEFUL RETREAT

If you're looking for a reasonable, clean & cozy, relaxing, centrally located to beautiful funfilled towns near water that are packed with activities... this is the place for you!!! Thank you Charles and Judy for being such wonderful hosts. Our arrival was so welcoming. The Apartment lacked nothing. It was roomy for the four us and the beds were comfortable, which was a pleasure after long days exploring. We enjoyed the delicious, freshly made, wild blueberry muffins that greeted us when we opend the door the first morning . What a treat! We couldn't have asked for a better location to explore so many nearby towns. Our only regret is that lack of time didn't allow us to enjoy the backyard. I so wanted to sit by the fire pit, listening to the sounds of the Crockett Brook and play with some of the outdoor games you provided like the bean bag tic-tac-toe toss and the archery. Nor were we able to take the boat ride offered by Captain Charles. However; we enjoyed this apartment so much that we will be back to stay longer and do all these things and more. Thank you for a lovely stay. Cindy, Debbie, Sue & Marisol

Texans Who Love Maine

We return to Maine frequently, drawn by the beauty of the state and the serenity we experience while there. This time we happened upon Skip and Judy's little place in the woods and what a fortuitous decision that was....The barn apartment is lovely, well stocked, has wi-fi, cable; but, best of all a creek that rushes through the woods next to the apartment. Sleeping with the window open and falling asleep to the sound of a babbling creek? What can I say! We awoke the first morning to homemade blueberry muffins thoughtfully left in the workshop below so as not to wake us. This was followed by mint brownies and oatmeal scotch cookies. Every recommendation they made for a restaurant we tried and loved them all...especially Chez Michel. Every question we could have come up with they had anticipated and already had the answer for in a well documented book of "things to do", "places to go" "emergencies that might arise" in the apartment. We've rented off VRBO for years and can honestly say that Skip and Judy are the epitome of gracious hosts. The apartment is thoughtfully appointed and well stocked. Will we be back? Oh my goodness yes! I'm just wondering why I'm writing this review. It may become so popular, so booked we would have to book two years in advance. Forget what I said. Perhaps you need to go somewhere else so we can be sure it's available!!!!! Thank you Skip and Judy for a marvelous time.
