Le Drifting Inn Ă©tait encore plus mignon que dans les photos! C'Ă©tait Ă©galement un endroit confortable et facile oĂč sĂ©journer pendant 10 jours, avec une cuisine complĂšte (et entiĂšrement Ă©quipĂ©e), une grande chambre privĂ©e et un superbe loft avec un deuxiĂšme lit, un bureau et des chaises confortables. Nous avons adorĂ© l'emplacement, situĂ© Ă  seulement 7 minutes Ă  pied de la plage, Ă  pied, Ă  vĂ©lo ou en voiture vers une variĂ©tĂ© de cabanes Ă  homards et de sentiers, et Ă  seulement 20 minutes des amis que nous visitions Ă  Brunswick et Ă  Bath. Joe et Lynn Ă©taient des hĂŽtes exceptionnels et nous ont donnĂ© des conseils locaux amusants qui ont vraiment amĂ©liorĂ© notre voyage. Nous serions heureux de rester ici encore.

Absolument magnifique et Joe et Lynn Ă©taient trĂšs rĂ©actifs. Il y avait tout ce dont vous avez besoin et plus encore. Ils avaient du fromage et des biscuits, une bouteille de vin, des fruits, du cafĂ©, de la crĂšme et deux dessous de verre pour se faire des souvenirs. C'Ă©tait notre premier arrĂȘt sur notre road trip dans le Maine et c'Ă©tait notre endroit prĂ©fĂ©rĂ© oĂč nous avons sĂ©journĂ©. J'y retournerai certainement pour rester. Merci encore pour votre hospitalitĂ©.

Truly a hidden gem!

We can't say enough about this amazing, comfortable, well decorated gem we were so lucky to have found in the pleasant, small, & lovely coastal community of Harpswell, Maine. The owners were so attentive to details, from items available, including very comfortable beds, linens, luxury towels, kitchen & bath laundry items to outdoor chairs & beach towels. Though the vrbo rental is on their property, they gave us all the space we needed, while still making sure if there was anything else they could provide to let them know. We even borrowed their ninja machine to make smoothies! The lovely owners are so friendly & provided any details for excursions around the area for us. They also complimented us with a beautiful boat tour around the bay. This rental is reasonably priced, perfect for a couple, & maybe one older child /teen for the loft area. The waterside deck is a shared area at their little end road, just right small size space for enjoying the water, looking through the rocks beachcombing & seeing the fabulous older Cribstone Bridge. The larger rocky beach is within walking distance just down the road where we searched for seaglass. The wonderful coffee shop & ice cream parlor were often visited by us. Keep in mind towns are about a half hour drive, along with restaurants & other landmarks, but beautiful, scenic drives looking at all the old, coastal, historical homes. You won't be disappointed. We were thrilled to have found this beautiful 2 week home away from home.

We chose this property for our first trip to Maine and our honeymoon. We were amazed by all the property had to offer and it looked even more beautiful in person! Plus, the bed was unbelievably comfortable. The hosts were easy to communicate with and it was clear that they valued our experience. The hosts left us personalized goodies and took us on a complimentary boat tour. We have never had such a good rental experience. Thank you!

Drifting In Stay

We had a wonderful stay with gracious hospitality, in an amazing accommodation! Joe and Lynn thought of everything one might need to accommodate us during our stay.

Treated like royalty.

The hosts, Lynn and Capt. Joe, treated us like we were special. However, I bet they make ALL their guest feel that way. The house was spotlessly clean. We were greeted with beer, wine and cheese upon arrival, and the fridge had everything we might want for breakfast the next day. Capt Joe and Lynn took us out for a boat tour of the area, and since it was my wife's birthday, they bought her a dozen roses. We felt we had left good friends behind when we left for home. Awesome stay.

Best vrbo ever!!

We had a marvelous time staying at Drifting In and will definitely be back!! Gorgeous apartment, inside and out, with every detail just perfect. Nice deck with places to sit and BBQ. Spacious rooms, skylights, lots of light and places to nestle. We were greeted with Maine goodies in the kitchen, which was nicely equipped for those who like to cook. Comfy bed. Amazing hosts we really enjoyed spending some time with. We went out on the boat with Joe--a very fun morning! We took the short walk to the shore--pristine, welcoming, quite private. Had best lobster ever. A quiet setting with water views. What more could we ask for?!!

Beyond Expectations

You won’t be disappointed if you book “Drifting In”. Lynn is a super lovely, interesting person, and she has done an amazing job of decorating and appointing their gem of a cottage. The local works of art on the walls, tables, and shelves are wonderful! I felt completely welcome (Lynn even stocked the fridge with wine, cheese, Maine made treats, and other basics). I honestly wished I could stay longer. The location is fantastic - you feel pretty “off the grid” but are actually very close to anything you might need in Brunswick. I came alone this time, but the cottage could easily accommodate four people, and I DEFINITELY plan to return with my husband next year. Thank you, Lynn and Joe!

Private, cozy, perfect escape!

Our hosts, Joe and Lynn, were extremely helpful in filling us in on places of interest in Maine that we were not aware of (Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and the Maine Maritime Museum for a start!). Communication was excellent prior, during, and afterwards, plus all the privacy you could ask for. There is wi-fi at your fingertips and wonderful welcome treats of wine, cheese, local maple syrup, IPA beer, and essentials of eggs, milk, and butter . There are all the beach essentials you might need to spend a day on the beach as well. They did not forget anything! Did I mention it was really clean and the bed was amazingly comfortable? Don’t miss this chance to relax and explore Maine in this wonderful place. We would recommend this to everyone and would return without a question. Thank you Joe and Lynn!!

Beautiful Spot in an Idyllic Coastal Community

A pair of more generous and considerate hosts, and a lovelier spot would be hard to find. Lynn and Joe's relaxed and "un-fussy" attention to detail provides guests with every convenience to enjoy a true vacation, tailored to one's interests: relaxation, information for exploration of Mid-coastal Maine, the pleasures of music, food, local culture, rest and activity - enjoyment of nature on land and water. All this, with the small conveniences and luxuries that make for a very special experience - a tasteful and spotless apartment stocked with provisions crafted by Maine artisans and businesses - everything one may need in kitchen,, bath and bedroom to be pampered and cared for. In addition, Joe's 3-hour boat trip (scheduled at your convenience) highlights Harpswell's Island communities and harbours - and allows visitors to understand what Maine life and history have to offer. We left our 10-day stay feeling rejuvenated and very appreciative for all we had learned and enjoyed.

Wonderful Stay with Fantastic Hosts

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with a 1 week stay at Lynn and Joe's rental. Every bit of it was perfect. The location was quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Yet, within about 30 minutes of a number of places (Bath, Bailey Island, Brunswick, Freeport) to visit for sights, history, or trails and beach. Of course, the lobster and fresh fish were excellent. But, Lynn and Joe's hospitality and kind touches to welcome their visitors is beyond any rentals we have ever stayed in. The cruise that Joe provided was so nice - informative, beautiful and relaxing. The welcome gifts of food is really nice when coming in from a distance without time to get to the store before checking in. So many good places to eat, close by, or short drives. Even though you stay above the garage, there is no noise. A good number of stairs to be aware that you need to use to enter, but that should be no surprise, as you know you are staying on the top level of the building. The week was one that we will always remember with nothing but great thoughts about Joe and Lynn's rental, and that area of Maine. Thanks so much, Joe and Lynn!

Absolute Oasis

Another reviewer may have already said this but as lovely as Drifting In looks in the listing photos, they really don't do the place justice. It's incredibly charming and full of character (not to mention clean), decorated largely with pieces from local artists. But I think what isn't fully clear from the pics is how ingeniously designed it is. It feels much bigger than its square footage, there is more storage than we've had in much larger rentals, and it is better stocked than anywhere else we've stayed. In addition to the little luxuries Lynn and Joe provide (robes, slippers, wine, cheese, beer, more) at least three times, I thought "there's no way they'll have xxx" and they did! The location is very private and quiet, but within 20 minutes of anything you could possible need. You're surrounded by flowers, trees, and birdsong, with a view of the sound and Cribstone Bridge as a bonus. Lynn and Joe are wonderful, thoughtful hosts. They gave us a magical boat tour of the islands that was a highlight of a fabulous stay. We hope to be back soon!

Superlative stay in Harpswell

Lynn and Joe are most gracious hosts. The apartment was beautifully designed and outfitted. Every amenity that could be imagined was provided (Robes, slippers, refrigerator stocked with eggs, cheese, Maine jam, and Ales, coffee and tea). The two bedrooms ( one of which is a loft) were large and well appointed, with comfortable mattresses. The bathroom had a wonderful walk in shower (including a rain shower feature) and was stocked with toiletries. Cleaning products used in the apartment were environmentally sound, free of harsh chemicals. We had a couple of minor questions come up and Lynn responded to messages promptly. Since the apartment is located on their property, adjacent to their house, we were also able to meet and talk to them a couple of times and enjoyed that very much. There was a varied selection of books on the area and the state. We always looked forward to returning to our lovely home away from home. Water views are included, in a quiet, walkable neighborhood. We felt very fortunate to be at Drifting In and will hopefully be able to stay there again. It earns our highest recommendation. Thanks, Lynn and Joe, for sharing Drifting In with us.

We've lived in many countries to include Bermuda, Iceland, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Germany (Heidelberg, Stuttgart, Wiesbaden) and Abu Dhabi. We lived on our 42 foot trawler for 7 years. We continue our boating traditions in Maine. Joe is a US Coast Guard certified charter captain and he takes people out on tours. Any of our guests who have booked 4 or more days at Drifting In, get a free 1-1.5 hour cruise aboard our 27' Albin trawler. We'll arrange dates when you arrive based on weather and schedules. We are now happily back in Maine as retirees to be closer to our families. We love meeting new people and invite you to see what Harpswell offers for you and yours.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

We bought our home because we wanted to live by the ocean in a town that had a vital boating and fishing community spirit. Harpswell is that town. This is a fishing community that encompasses active lobster, scallop, clam, mussel and seaweed fishing and farming. The many nooks and crannies along the towns 220 mile coastline provide a variety of small communities with their own special flavor. We love the view, the people and the incredible sense of community in Harpswell.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

If you love the ocean and the freshest seafood, you cannot beat this area. The seafood is literally taken right from the water to the table. Our lodging is a newly renovated to retain the rustic charm of the original, but updated with new granite counters, bathroom and kitchen fixtures and all new lights. The expansive porch provides cool breezes and lovely views of Harpswell Sound. There are countless hiking and walking trails nearby as part of the Harpswell Heritage Land Trust that highlight the pristine beauty of Harpswell.

Since the 220 miles of Harpswell coastline is the very best way to appreciate the full beauty of Harpswell, we offer our guests who book 4 or more days a free 1 to 1.5 hour boat ride on our 27' Albin trawler, La Bella Vita, that can be customized to fit your wants and needs. Since Joe received his US Coast Guard captains license, he must follow the regulations for cleanliness, so this is as safe as the apartment. Further, he is not allowed to provide food or drink of any kind. He does have a generous cooler and ice for you to use. We also provide our guests with a rolling cooler in the pantry closet. If you would like to eat or drink on your boat trip, you will have to bring your own beverages and food. We provide a cooler. This requirement is imposed by our insurance company and my dreams of providing guests with food on the charter were dashed.
