Reviewer Comments: First a quick note to Krainin; you might want to specify in your instruction sheet that the lock box is on the shed, not the house. As we arrived at dusk, we walked around the house looking for the lock box. After going back to the car to call, saw the lock box on the shed. Also we never received instructions or lock box code and had to call for that. As it was a Saturday, there was no one in the office so had to leave an emergency call. This information was sent to an incorrect phone number.We selected this cabin for the first floor bedroom and bath. This is significant as we are both seniors and have mobility issues. That being said, the lovely iron bed due to the height was impossible for us to get into without a stool so we decided to sleep downstairs. To our dismay there was no hand rail down the steps which is kind of important when using a cane for stability. Another concern was for 2 days there was no heat as evenings dropped to the upper 30s-mid 40's. That was ultimately rectified. Overall, it was a lovely cottage and wonderful view. Just think maybe a couple things need to be made apparent that it's not senior friendly ##### George C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Lighthouse Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Lighthouse-Inn-Carriage-House.h11296004.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) > > [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) > > [The Inn on the Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lubec-Hotels-The-Inn-On-The-Wharf.h17900817.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Kennebunkport Captains Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Kennebunkport-Captains-Collection.h13279259.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) > > [Nonantum Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Nonantum-Resort.h2936780.Hotel-Information) > > [Breakwater Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-The-Breakwater-Inn-And-Spa.h915136.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.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) > > [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) > > [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) ---
