This house and its history are amazing. The owners met us at check in which was a very personal touch. Communication with them was excellent. The setting is peaceful. Kayaking, lobsters, stargazing and family time were in abundance. Sunrises and sunsets were gorgeous. Friendship was a perfect place as our home base to explore during the day. We had easy drives to Acadia, Camden Hills State Park, Pemaquid Light house, and every where else we went. Hands down we would stay here again. ##### April L.

I feel like I'm home while staying there. Wonderful view of the water for a beautiful sunrise or sunset. It's wonderful to be able to jump into a kayak on a whim to cruise around the lobster boats without having to drive somewhere else. The house easily holds a group of people giving everyone plenty of their own space to sit out by the dock, sit on the porch, read a book in the family room. Unfortunately, our schedule didn't allow time to sit out by the fire pit. However, I have fond memories from the last time I spent time on the property 3 years ago. Hosts were great to communicate with and were quick to answer any questions. Host dropped off some delicious lobster to fill our needs for 2 dinners. They have done such a fantastic job restoring a charming historic home. I can't wait to come back with friends/family in the future. ![Morning light coming through upstairs bedroom window ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dd3de4c8-09f8-4485-9ff3-c78f63b85949-1756815538374.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Main family room ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/647da676-ee35-4519-8f0b-38678f8fced4-1756815536987.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Interior door charm ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/98c4a8d1-eec2-4ad5-af00-c817ee285239-1756815538552.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Front porch ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cf8ac9c3-1e7c-4a57-bb2b-c4308ca5cce4-1756815536327.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Stephen W.

Wonderful spacious place. The owners are very friendly and showed up briefly once just to ensure everything is going great and to answer any questions. Very beautiful home. My favorite part is the kayaks so we can go out mornings and evenings and enjoy the beauty up close. ##### Karl R.

The location was perfect for visiting Boothbay and Bar Harbor. Sharon made wonderful recommendations for places to visit (we loved Pemaquid beach). The kids had a great time exploring at low tide and watching the boats come and go. The house has been beautifully renovated and care was made to ensure our stay was as easy as possible. Plenty of cleaning supplies, towels AND cozy blankets everywhere! ##### Kelly O. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ---
