Barbara Thank you for a wonderful weekend - exceeded our expectations in no small part due to this beautiful property. We washed the laundry (mostly), including lots of kitchen towels that we used for our lobsters (great help!). Patrick was in the middle of a P.Cornwall book & one on Sharpening - hope it's ok if he mails them back? Thanks again (we'll be in touch)

We have had a great week in your house. We especially appreciated the pristine condition - the cleanliness, all the amenities supplied, all the thoughtful touches, such as candles, etc. The peace and quiet has been much appreciated as well. It has been a fine location for our family get-together. One possible improvement would be to have additional channels of TV available. We had hoped to follow the U.S. Open Tennis, but couldn't access the channels. Overall, the stay has been superb - our best rental ever! We hope to come back. Many Thanks!

We had a great week here - perfect weather to explore Maine. We enjoyed the canoe, visiting Deer Isle & Arcadia & just relaxing here together. We are so glad that our last-minute plans to get away led us to your home. We hope to return again!

This week has been so wonderful! The house is beautiful and has everything you can possibly think of. The kids had the time of their lives! They were never bored - even though it was rainy & foggy the last 3 days. We especially loved canoeing/kayaking. The activity Shop delivered two kayaks for the week and it was definately worth the money! The days (and nights, too!) seemed to last so long. We did so many things each day, and yet it also felt as though we had so much time to relax! We'll definitely be back! Thank You!

Hello Barbara. Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know we had a great time last week. Your home was absolutely beautiful and very accommodating. My wife, two kids and I had A fantastic week. Beautiful sunsets every night but one. Definitely needed the wood stove the first Two nights to take out the chill (kindling box is empty). It was so nice to have a home as well furnished and equipped for Just about everything you would need. I've rented homes at the New Jersey Shore for many years and have found some nice properties. I cannot imagine a nicer vacation rental property than yours. Also, your "guide" book was invaluable to help make the most of the week both in and out of the house, as well as general planning for first timers in Maine. Bottom line, can't say enough nice things about your home on the cove. This was one of the best and relaxing vacations we've had as a family. I felt like I stepped back in time while on the Blue Hill peninsula. I know I'm hooked on kayaking now that we've taken the open water adventure down at Old Quarry near Stonington. That was a great experience on the Blue Hill Bay. There is so much to see and do in year area. Castine was an enjoyable day, which included the Wilson Museum, a nice little find that particular afternoon after our picnic lunch at the old fort down by the water. We will probably see you again someday. That is, unless we take the inland route in search of moose on our next trip to Maine. Hope you have a great summer. Thank you again for being a wonderful host. Best wishes,

Barb Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. It was absolutely beautiful. It was the first vacation that we have taken that my kids have been content to just sit and relax. I was so surprised but they both loved it. We hope to come back again sometime. Thanks again! Lori
