The options for housing in this part of Maine are limited and this home was a very pleasant surprise. It made for perfect location for a family wedding in the area. We also discovered several hiking trails in the area and enjoyed the fall colors. Leanne (the owner) was very responsive and helpful. ##### Fred R. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lorie T. 3 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location! This was a great location, close to a lot of things but you also felt like you were in the middle of nowhere. The house was beautiful and there was plenty of room for the 8 of us. The only thing you need to be aware of is there is no air conditioning. The loft does have A/C but the main house does not. While it may cool down at night, we had some very hot days and were not able to be in the main house on those days. ##### Lorie T.

Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristi F. 21 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy There were 9 of us in our party and we needed a large home with enough beds and bathrooms for us all. "Maine Hidden Gem" house did that perfectly for us. The house is beautiful. The only problem we had when we got there was finding one of the bedrooms. The bedroom with the 2 beds in the room is accessible through the garage & upstairs. There is no bathroom for this garage bedroom. You need go into the house for a bathroom. Leanne was very quick getting back to us in finding where the room was located. There was plenty of toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, shower soap, laundry detergent, etc. for our stay. We really appreciated that. We loved having the large dining table to play games. We all loved our stay. Thank you Leanne. ##### Kristi F. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Amy 14 Aug 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication I am not sure if the fault lies with the owner or with VRBO/Expedia but the property was double-booked, forcing us to find other last minute accommodations. Despite several messages to the owner, I still have heard nothing back after 5 days. ##### Amy Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Lighthouse Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Lighthouse-Inn-Carriage-House.h11296004.Hotel-Information) > > [The Inn at Ocean's Edge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Camden-Hotels-The-Inn-At-Oceans-Edge.h11861565.Hotel-Information) > > [The Boathouse Waterfront Hotel & Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-The-Boathouse-Waterfront-Hotel-Marina.h6120210.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn By The Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Inn-By-The-Sea.h1542725.Hotel-Information) > > [Saltair Inn Waterfront B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bar-Harbor-Hotels-Saltair-Inn-Waterfront-Bed-And-Breakfast.h36476175.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Gate Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boothbay-Harbor-Hotels-Ocean-Gate-Resort.h893144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cottages at Cabot Cove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-The-Cottages-At-Cabot-Cove.h4921193.Hotel-Information) > > [Belfast Harbor Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Camden-Hotels-Belfast-Harbor-Inn.h893985.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [AWOL Kennebunkport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-AWOL-Kennebunkport.h67299636.Hotel-Information) > > [Anchorage Inn and Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Anchorage-Inn-And-Resort.h9317652.Hotel-Information) > > [The Claremont Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bar-Harbor-Hotels-The-Claremont-Hotel.h13278724.Hotel-Information) > > [Long Creek Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Portland-Airport.h24280.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beach House Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-The-Beach-House-Inn.h1277367.Hotel-Information) > > [Smuggler's Cove Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boothbay-Harbor-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-Inn.h2129923.Hotel-Information) > > [The Inn on the Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lubec-Hotels-The-Inn-On-The-Wharf.h17900817.Hotel-Information) > > [Breakwater Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-The-Breakwater-Inn-And-Spa.h915136.Hotel-Information) > > [Kennebunkport Captains Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Kennebunkport-Captains-Collection.h13279259.Hotel-Information) > > [Yachtsman Hotel & Marina Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Yachtsman-Hotel-Marina-Club.h1138412.Hotel-Information) > > [J House Greenwich](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stamford-Hotels-J-House-Greenwich.h8392.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brunswick Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boothbay-Harbor-Hotels-The-Brunswick-Hotel.h4449120.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Oxford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bridgton-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Oxford.h15835107.Hotel-Information) > > [Nonantum Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Nonantum-Resort.h2936780.Hotel-Information) > > [Oxford Casino Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bridgton-Hotels-Oxford-Casino-Hotel.h35183095.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rebekah Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-The-Rebekah-Inn.h15833704.Hotel-Information) > > [Wellington Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ogunquit-Wells-Hotels-Wellington-Manor.h35894464.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harraseeket Inn & Event House Freeport Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Harraseeket-Inn.h51266260.Hotel-Information) ---
