Just a quick note to thank you for letting us use your idyllic property at Hulls Cove. It is a beautiful house and ideally appointed with gorgeous views of the bay. We had a glorious week which will live long in memory. It was a super opportunity for cousins to get to know each other better, given that they live on separate continents. Many thanks. GB and MB

The house is as lovely as the pictures, and a peaceful setting. While I am an advocate for Hulls Cove my wife serves as your ambassador and continues to rave about the week and we will continue to direct folks to you.

Just wanted to send a note of appreciation for the wonderful week we spent at the house in Hulls Cove. What a wonderful experience to be able to spend the week sharing Maine with people from Malaysia and Singapore . . . we enjoyed your home thoroughly and hope to be able to do it again in years to come.

Our trip has been exactly what we hoped for. We took Highway 1 up the coast and enjoyed the picturesque towns and villages along the way. Once here the house did not disappoint. We’re so pleased with the decor and the setting, we’ll enjoy our stay no matter what the weather. Your library is outstanding. And I am taking notes on books I will want to read when I return home. Thanks again for sharing such a great house.

You must know that this was the best vacation I can remember in many a year – almost cried to leave what was already beginning to feel like home.

I wanted to send you a formal thank-you note . . . we all enjoyed our trip to Maine and found your home to be a perfect setting. After 5 days of travel for our son, he was so happy to have such a peaceful, private home to rest in . . . Our son is back in Afghanistan but has e-mailed us to let us know that, when he has a particularly bad day, he thinks of our time in Maine and the incomparable beauty of the landscape. What a gift. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Many blessings to you and to your family.
