We were so happy to stay here!! There were 5 adults and we were very comfortable. We found it spotless in every room. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with everything you would need to stay. This is not a cottage it's a home.would recommend anyone going to the Scarborough area to stay here.

Wonderful home

This property is in a tranquil and relatively private location, all while being close to things to do. The hosts are wonderful and provided a nice binder with local recommendations and a beautiful floral arrangement. The Jones Family Farm goats milk soap smelled delicious and was a nice touch. It was a nice reprieve from the busy work-week and was such a lovely home!

Scarborough, ME, June 2025

For our visit with family who live in Scarborough, the house was ideally located. It’s close enough to Portland and Saco to enjoy their attractions and close enough to Rt 95 to travel further afield. The house itself has a great view of a marsh and an enclosed porch to enjoy it from. It also has about everything you need if you plan to eat in. Everything about making arrangements to stay there was easy. We would stay there again.

Great property and overall experience!

The property is great! I felt the location was perfect....gave us the feeling privacy but was also located within a few minutes drive to anything we needed or wanted to do. The owners were a pleasure to deal with...great communication and very friendly. I would definitely stay at this property again!
