It was amazing! Shawna was great! I forgot to add our pet on the original booking and she was so responsive and we got everything sorted out. The apartment was so comfortable and decorated beautifully! Great space from kids room with things to entertain them to calm adult bedroom. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything you could think of. We loved “the fluffy butt hut” chicken coop!!! This is a dream place, from veggie garden, pool, tree house, chicken coop. Love it! Will definitely come back again!

Cute and comfortable that had everything we would want or need. Enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen and a heater to take the chill off of the 50 degree outside temperatures!

Cozy little spot

Lovely little spot close to Thomas College. Nice decor, plenty of space and room for a family of 4. The apartment has everything you need along with seasonal decor and extra pillows! We will be back!

Very quiet, relaxing and comfortable. Clean, beautifully decorated and beds were comfortable. Has everything you could possibly need. Owner is great and quick to respond to all questions. Welcomed our little dog. As it is a second floor apartment, someone with mobility issues may find the stairs challenging. We had a very nice stay. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

Escape for Music Camp

We stayed here instead of the dorms at Colby College and were so glad we did! Shawna really thought of everything with this apartment. It was very clean, and the decor was super boho chic. We loved being able to see the chickens in the yard and the AC to beat the Maine heatwave! The apartment is very spacious and well thought out. We hope to be back again for next year’s camp!

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Very poor entrance to apartment. Stairs were treacherous!!! Entered into a cluttered garage with insulation and pipes exposed all the way up stairs. Not sure if stairs meet code but doubt it. Furniture was very uncomfortable and had to use pillows on couch to set on. Not enough counter space in kitchen. Good thing we ate out. Microwave was on top of refrigerator which was difficult to reach. No toaster. Bathroom was off kitchen not close to bedrooms. Spiders everywhere. Pictures in ad were very misleading. Not sure how this got excellent review. Will not stay again!!! Host left next day after arrival for vacation leaving us no phone number just email in case of a problem.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Jul 2025
Hi Diann, I’m sorry to hear you had such a terrible time at our place. I do strive to make all my guests comfortable and wasn’t aware there were any problems. I understand your concern about using stairs but We discussed them before your arrival which are standard, closed thread with a handrail. We also offered assistance with your luggage. The toaster is located in the coffee bar cupboard and yes, the microwave is up high. I’d love more insight on how the photos are misleading so I can correct this issue. Upon request, I would have gladly given you my personal phone number which is not standard practice since I always respond promptly via the Vrbo app. I do feel that I treated you kindly but am sorry to hear you disliked everything so much. Take care and best wishes. Shawna
