We visit Maine every summer for my husband's annual family reunion. We have stayed in several vacation homes within an hour from Joao's house but this is our favorite. Not only is the house spacious, clean and comfortable, but it's located on beautiful property with gorgeous views. It is located in a quiet town but there is a Walmart, Dunkin Donuts and other restaurants within a few minute's drive. The kitchen is stocked with spices and has all of the cooking appliances you'll need, including a k-cup coffee maker, slow cooker, and even a waffle maker and hand mixer. There are plenty of paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies and laundry detergent, along with extra blankets and pillows. The rooms are spacious, airy and temperature controlled, and landscaping is maintained well (which is very important in Maine as we have experienced ticks in other homes). Our 3 and 9-year old kids enjoyed exploring the library of books and games, as well as the beautiful path down to the river lined with wildflowers. Joao is very responsive to messages, and is great with communications. I truly can't say enough about this property and highly recommend it to those who want to stay in the area. This was our second 2-week stay and we can't wait to rebook future stays. Thank you Joao for opening your wonderful home to our family!
