We loved being so isolated it was so quiet and peaceful. The kids loved the kayaks, they went up to the wiggly bridge and came back. The kitchen was well stocked. Just about everything was perfect
The home was beautiful and just as described in the listing. Our children thoroughly enjoyed the river and there was plenty of room for our large family to spread out. The house was equipped with everything to meet our needs. We cooked 90% of our meals at the house with no issues. The historical sites and beaches nearby did not disappoint. Communication with the property manager was timely and efficient. We would definitely stay again!
The house is charming and very well equipped. The York River/Salt Pond is gorgeous. Saw and heard lots of sea birds. Wish we were still there. The only problem I had was access to the water. No access from the dock and the ramp was too steep for me to walk on. However, others in my party could use it.
We loved this house so much! It had such charm and matched the listing exactly. The kitchen was well stocked, the AC worked great, and the large living space made for a comfortable stay with family. Having a toddler with us, we were very happy that the space was easily divided with doors to close off the laundry, living room, and stairs. We also loved how private and quiet the area was and the kids loved going out to the dock in the evening to look for crabs in the water. Since the house is situated in a private wooded area, there were a decent number of spiders about so arachnophobes be warned. However, they didn’t bother us and ultimately our stay will be defined by sunny, cozy memories in this beautiful and comfortable home!
We had one of the best vacations we ever had in Maine. Kayaking, relaxing and so much space to read and relax. I am so glad we were able to make the memories we did this summer.
