cleaning
Hello,
Thank you for the review. The refrigerator issue is being addressed as we speak (the current one that is over 20 years old is being replaced this winter). In terms of cleaning and the bedspreads, we are at the end of the season and now have some time to catch up on a few things that happened during the vacation season including carpet cleaning or items that need replacing, . Our cottage changeover cleaner does the best that she can and I pitch in for her when I am able and schedules permit and both of us try to keep up with things. We are currently addressing the musty smell issue in the basement, too, as best we can. And yes, you're right, that comes with the territory.
Please feel free to keep us in mind for the future
Thank you,
Lisa
Update 2/7/18 - there is a brand-new refrigerator in place (the old one has been disposed of) and the bedspread is now stain-free and all bedspreads and linens in the house will be thoroughly washed and cleaned for the season.

Well equipped accommodations with an excellent view.
Thank you - we really appreciate it. I'm glad that you had a great vacation at our home and everything went well. Please keep us in mind for your future travel plans to the Boothbay area.

Excellent river view
Great water views in a quiet location
Hi!
Thank you for the review. Yes, the bushes have been cut back this fall - an annual chore (and hopefully won't grow too much next spring but they may need some pruning next summer). We have considered putting in a dock and thus have better access to the waterfront but the cost of that project would be prohibitive. Yes, you're correct, it is tidal and that presents several challenges in it's own right. Glad you enjoyed your time there and we hope to be able to have you as a guest in the future.

Plenty of room in a lovely location
The mold/mildew problem is mostly in one of the bathrooms and that issue is being addressed as we speak - the bathroom is being totally renewed with all new walls, fixtures, cabinets, etc.
Thank you for bring that issue to our attention.
Lisa
very nice, quiet
