The home is quaint and comfortable. The water views were nice to have during the day while working. The bed and linens were comfortable. The rooms were larger than expected. I enjoyed my stay.

Comfortable river farmhouse.

Home was attractively decorated and pleasant. . Bedding and furniture were comfortable. Location was ok, very close to the road and river grasses. It was a convenient midcoast location on a very pretty road. The rent was appropriate for the property.

I rented this for a guest for my daughter’s wedding. Only one complaint, too buggy.
