Quiet farmhouse true vibe
Our stay was nice. The one drawback was Maine ( as was the rest of the coast ) was experiencing a brutal heatwave. The house does not have A/C and even with fans it was insufferable. Had the weather been normal Maine weather it would have been perfect. I had my dog with me and ticks were very present. Make sure your dog is treated before arrival. Camden is just a short drive away as well as some small beaches and refreshing water play. The house has a large ample parking area for at least three vehicles.

Lovely location
The house was spacious but not luxurious by any stretch. The bed linens were sub par and offering 1 towel per adult for a 3 night stay was bad. Yes, there was a washer dryer but we didn’t go on vacation to do laundry. The location was quiet.

Much needed Family time and we could bring our dogs
This beautiful old farmhouse is just amazing so much space welcoming a really beautiful piece of property we truly enjoyed sitting on the front porch for coffee and on the back porch later in the day to watch the sunset. The bonus room was and awesome space for the two dogs to frolic together and we would not have to worry about them being in the main house it reminded all of us of what it must have been like to live in that era a really great place to spend time

Authentic rural farmhouse exceeded our expectations and made everyone happy in our large group.
The farmhouse was absolutely perfect for us: spacious private bedrooms with lovely rural views accommodated three couples; plus separate sleeping quarters for two families' kids in two rooms downstairs in a pull-out sofa and a day bed. The wonderful huge dining table accommodated 12 people easily, and on occasion 15 when we had visitors join us for meals. The kitchen was exceptionally well provided with cooking and serving ware for a crowd. (We didn't realize that the broiler was under the main oven at first :) All the bedrooms had ceiling fans and two window ventilation, so we did not suffer from heat.The game room was just separate enough that we could monitor the happily engaged kids without being intruded upon. There is a great outdoor play area for young kids, and table games perfect for kids and adults. The front porch was a delight: we sat out there rain or shine, singing and playing music. The flower beds were lovely, including an herb garden! It's on a low-traffic country road, with easy access to Megunticook Lake and wonderful lake swimming and kayaking. We picked plentiful wild blueberries up nearby Maiden's Cliff Rd. right off Youngtown Rd, on a ridge with beautiful views. Fantastic! There are two bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, so for the large number of people we had, it took a bit of thoughtful cooperation, but it was fine. The special charm of this house, which felt informal, authentic and at home with the country setting, made us all happy.

Charming House
The house is spacious and comfortable with many amenities. We enjoyed the green outdoor space which is very nicely maintained. The sunny porch and shaded deck provided opportunities for quiet relaxation. The house’s proximity to trails and short drive to Camden State Park are a definite plus. We visited the towns of Camden, Belfast, Rockland and even a day trip to Bar Harbour. Everyone in our party enjoyed the stay.

Right out of a Stephen King novel….total Maine experience
We loved the house. Just what we were looking for- older, spook factor, traditional Maine. Located centrally close to several coastal towns that we explored. House itself had all the amenities. Winery down the street was nice. Looking forward to coming back to explore Maine again.

A glorious old farmhouse.
I really enjoyed the elegance of this old house with great window views. Lots of privacy and quiet. Beds were very uncomfortable. Very close to road. Backyard trails unwalkable due to high grass and tick threat. A very homey Main feeling in this house.

Lovely Home Near Camden
We had a wonderful two weeks at this home. The location worked well for our family—it is close to Camden, and just a short drive to the lake or to the Village of Lincolnville. We also enjoyed the proximity to hiking trails. We found the living spaces to be comfortable and had plenty of space to spread out. The house is well equipped and well kept—it has everything you will need, even beach towels! The only negative for us was that the beds are all doubles (I failed to notice that in the listing and I have a tall husband) and we found the mattresses uncomfortable for a long stay. Other than that, though, we really enjoyed our stay.

What makes this property unique

Located adjacent to Camden Hills State Park we love to hike the trails. Walk over to the Cellar Door Winery for wine tasting and scenery. The farmhouse is located just about midway between 4 of our favorites activities. Short drives will take you swimming at Barretts Cove in Megunticook Lake, building sand castles at Lincolnville Beach, feeding the ducks and looking a the windjammers in Camden Harbor, or skipping stones and watching the tides at Ducktrap .
