We had the most amazing time. This property is stunning, so special, and even more incredible than the photos can show.
Peter was the best host - communicative, kind, and super accommodating. I hope to return someday.
My family and I had a wonderful vacation staying here in August. The home and property are just as pictured and perfectly welcoming to guests; a fully equipped kitchen, easy checkin/out process, space in drawers and cabinets to unpack and feel comfortable.
This was our second time staying at this property. We came back after both the kids and grandparents said that they so enjoyed the time we spent here last summer. Great location, incredible views, lots of space to be together or spread out both indoors and outdoors. The owners clearly take great care of both the property and equally of their guests. Very smooth process and we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this property. Thank you for hosting us.
We all enjoyed the pristine house with a large kitchen and delightful clean swimming pool. The land and river are gorgeous and we can’t wait to come back to do more exploring.
We truly enjoyed our stay at the farm. The home was tastefully decorated and we especially enjoyed the antiques and artwork in the home. The bathrooms are just luxurious and lovely. The pool was wonderful and Peter was quick to answer any questions we had. We did find the downstairs to be quite warm and would have loved to see some ceiling fans. Also, the river is beautiful but a bit hard to access and the boat launch area did seem to need some maintenence and cleanup up as there were downed trees and branches and we decided to not rent kayaks as getting them to the water would have been difficult. Overall a beautiful, historic place to enjoy!
We absolutely loved this impeccably maintained and beautiful historic home and property. Our family of three generations (grandparents, parents, and 3 kids ages 15 - 21) had plenty of room to spread out, hang out, and access to plenty to do on the property and in the surrounding area. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this vacation home. Incredibly well appointed, everything you need is right where you would expect to find it: kitchen, linens, supplies, etc. Peter was responsive and easy to work with. The home is secluded and you feel like you're on your own island (albeit a peninsula). We found great nature walks, hiking, kayaking, wildlife/bird watching and tons of seafood all within a convenient distance. Thank you so much for sharing your vacation home with us.
My wife, two teenage sons and grandma recently spent a week at this amazing property. It's a one of kind place. It's extremely private but at the same time about 10 minutes to two great little towns with fantastic restaurants and activities. The pictures really don't do it justice. It's set up above the river with beautiful views and on a huge parcel with walking paths through oak trees and prairies. We were surprised how much time we spent in the pool, it's warm and does not use traditional chlorine so you don't have any irritation to your eyes or skin. The interior of the home is just as great. It's very spacious with a huge kitchen with large island, multiple sinks and a professional grade Italian range. The living room area was a lot of fun to play cards and games and enjoy a nice wood fire on the cooler nights. We highly recommend staying here!
House is amazing and pool is great. Location is very central but also totally secluded. First floor got pretty hot without AC but was manageable with fans. Would suggest providing more pillows and adding a shade/curtain for the French doors in the master bedroom. Will definitely consider staying again next year!
We have been renting this house with friends for 3 years. Beautiful pool, great location with a dock, clean and well stocked with essentials. Comfy beds with AC upstairs.
Couldn’t have had a better time at Trail’s End. Beautiful home on the most breathtaking property you could ask for, absolutely restorative time with the family! Thank you so much!!
This was our first trip to Maine and Trails End far exceeded our expectations! Conveniently located near many quaint fishing villages, lighthouses, Pemaquid Beach and Boothbay Harbor, we had plenty to do. On quieter days at the house, we enjoyed the peace exploring the property, swimming, fishing, cooking lobster fra diavlo and baking wild blueberry cobbler and currant scones :) in the well-appointed kitchen. The evening sunsets were spectacular shining over the field and pool and right into the kitchen. What makes this home particularly unique and special is the history. We were fascinated with learning more about the original family who built the home in the 1800s and imagining what life was like for them on this extraordinary land. It’s incredible the love and care and exquisite detail Peter put into every inch of the property. We hope to be back again very soon.
This is my family’s fourth year at Trail’s End and it seems to get better every year. It’s a beautiful property and location that both couples and families can enjoy. Peter is always great to work with and the property and home are very well maintained. We’ve already rebooked for next year!
Second-year in a row renting this property and it was such a great time. Beautiful property and the house was amazing. Clean, lots to do, and a short drive to restaurants, ice cream etc. Will definitely be back next year!
One of the most beautiful pieces of property I’ve ever seen. Magical. The house was lovely. A trip I shall never forget. So close to so many wonderful destinations.
Pictures don't give this peninsula justice. It literally felt like our own island, yet was so close to great dining, beaches, hiking, you name it. Peter was incredibly accommodating and we're already discussing returning to the house!
We absolutely love this property and have enjoyed it for four years running. The home is beautiful, the pool is delightful and warm enough to stay in for hours, and the property and surrounding river are top notch. The owner is always very responsive and we've never had any issues that weren't resolved quickly. We're already looking forward to our stay next year!
We've been staying at various houses in Maine for decades now and this is by far one of our favorites. Beautiful home, beautiful property, amazing attention to detail. The pool is GORGEOUS - clean, warm and beautifully situated. Comfortable beds, nice linens and overall a wonderful, comfortable home! Thank you for sharing with us!
The photos do not show how warm and charming this farm and home truly are. We loved being here and enjoying the pool and other amenities. We've been coming to the Maine coast for forty years and this was one of our best times. The location is close to everything we like to see and do during our vacation.
Super clean and comfortable home in a beautiful rural setting. Well equipped kitchen and sparkling large bathrooms. Worked very well for us and our young adult children and their partners/friends.
This property exceeded our expectations. It is immaculate and cozy. Kitchen is awesome, comfortable beds and the bathrooms are clean and spacious. Beautiful views with a quiet and secluded setting made this the perfect place to relax and recharge. We used the pool every day, even on chilly days since it is heated. The river is great for swimming and kayaking plus it is so peaceful and beautiful. Overall wonderful experience!
We have relatives in Damariscotta so the location was perfect for us. It's also close to downtown Wiscasset, Boothbay Harbor, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse.
The tastefully-furnished house is set on a hill overlooking the river. We enjoyed the view, the sunsets, and the pool.
