Lovely home
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The week we were on Bailey we had a few rainy and foggy days. The living room was perfect for curling up with a good book and staying cozy and watching the fog roll by. Check in and check out were very easy, the house was clean and the bedrooms were comfortable. The only down side for us was that the house is right on the main road so with two little kids it was not a walkable location. We shared the house with my parents and it was a great set up. I spent many nights cooking with my dad in the beautiful kitchen, which may have been my favorite part. A lovely Maine rental.
Wonderful house in a wonderful place
My extended family of 14 enjoyed our reunion in this house so very much. The kitchen was fantastically equipped, the bedrooms comfortable and the living areas conducive to long conversations. Bailey Island was charming, full of great food and adventure. Will definitely return!
Lux Living on the Island
Beautifully appointed, comfortable, and spacious, this house was perfect for two families (4 adults, 4 teens). We loved the gourmet kitchen and hosted dinner parties almost every night. Thank you, Brett and family for sharing your home with us!
Lauren,
We are so happy that you enjoyed our home so much and that we could share our island home with you.
We would love to welcome you back anytime.
The Johnson Family.
Great Maine Getaway
Beautiful setting with well appointed home. Great for family get together. Good location for day trips and plenty of space to just hang out. Hassle free check in and checkout.
Great property
It’s really the little things that determine good from great. These owners take care of the little things well.
Great location - 3 hour drive northeast to Acadia and 2 hours south to the beaches.
