Whether you are the type of traveller who likes to park the car and explore your surroundings on foot, or just make it a home base for day trips, this house is a wonderful place to stay.
We did a little of both during our week’s stay. It is an easy walk to shops, pubs and restaurants just over the footbridge in Belfast. It being mid-October, there were some early closings, but I’d expect regular hours in the summer.
Other days, we visited Bar Harbor, Searsport, Camden, Rockland, and Damariscotta. There is more to do than just shop — but if that is your thing, you wont be disappointed.
Several evenings we stayed at the house and cooked or ate finger food — we lacked nothing in the fully stocked kitchen — played games or watched a ball game. There is a good stock of puzzles, DVDs and games, great wifi, and several TVs.
The beds are all VERY comfy, and the 4 adults in our party each commented what great sleep we got there. As some have mentioned, there is road noise in the mornings, but the hosts have provided white noise machines to remedy that, and we saw at least three fans (in the upstairs bedroom closets), if that is your preferred sleep inducer.
This home was immaculate and well-stocked with paper products, cleaning supplies, toiletries, lotion and hand sanitizer. Even had shaving cream and a new disposable razor!
Dennis was super responsive every time I messaged him, and besides solving my issues (both were my fault), he also offered some excellent restaurant recommendations.
The decks provide a glorious view any time of day, and the weather was perfect for sitting outside with coffee to plan our day, or with wine to end it.
Renting this home was an excellent experience and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Believe the photos and reviews…it really is as good as it looks!
