"We visited Island Falls ME., from the Boston Area. It was a very long ride, but worth every minute. The Hosts Kevin and Christina were so helpful while I was preparing for our trip. It had everything there for us, full kitchen, Bath and Bedding. Wifi worked great, - washer and dryer if needed. Plenty of space for clothes, luggage and bags. They have a beautiful home and we highly recommend it!!It was only 3 miles or so off the highway which made it very convenient and because we were there to golf, it was only a couple of miles from the golf course as well.Linda & Mark"
