So glad you loved your stay! Hope to see you next year.
Safe travels, Michelle
We very much enjoyed our stay. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. Super safe and quiet community and easy to jump off and explore. We were disappointed that there was no hot tub as advertised.
A comfortable house sitting on a waterfront lot with a great water view of fishing boats. The neighborhood is well off the main road and is very quiet. There are very few amenities nearby; they are 20 minutes plus away. The house is well stocked with necessary equipment and kitchen essentials. Comfortable beds and sitting areas. The front deck, with table and chairs, is lovely on a sunny day. The owners were very responsive to questions. We hope to return.
An attractive, clean, well-appointed home.Lovely weather, and peace and quiet. In the photo the house appears smaller than it actually s. The house is laid out well so every inch is used. No long hallways for example. Also the dock is right there, and friends and children rowed or motored right up to say hello. Lovely view - from the living room picture window or the deck - of the quite water of the Pleasant Point Gut, with lobster boats and pleasure boats. Also more than enough of everything, including sheets and towels, a collection of books, serving pieces, lots of storage, and an antique desk to admire. Nice to have coffee on the porch watching the sun come up. There are also places not too far away to visit. I think you need a reservation early to go to Vinalhaven island. A famous local author, Elizabeth Ogilvie, who wrote stories set in island of Maine, once lived in this house..... Altogether a real Maine environment. Thank you, Michelle.

So glad you guys had a great time! How you come back again soon and safe travels!
Our stay in this cabin was one of the best experiences I have had in a short-term rental. The lovely cabin is spacious and easy to feel at home in. We were especially impressed by the kitchen, which we put to good use, preparing a few dishes for my son's wedding (the purpose for our visit to Maine.) Every time I needed a kitchen utensil, tool, item, etc. it was there, organized, and in great condition. The rooms are very comfortable, well-equipped with linens, etc., and welcoming. And the view? Can't be beat! I would love to return to stay again, and I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone wanting feel at home in Cushing.
