We stayed 8/1/26-8/5/26 and this was the Best Relaxing getaway we have had this year!! Mike and Connie were so Awesome and just a reach away if we needed anything. The place was so cozy and the view was Amazing. Just sitting outside to read a book or have a campfire you could not beat it. The boat dock was so Great to cast a few for fish or use the Kayaks for fun. Its a must place for a getaway and we are Absolutely going back again soon. Harpswell had so much to offer for views food and entertainment and we definitely recommend checking it out. Stephen and Jill

Wonderful place to stay

We loved the property and the location. We saw lobster boats going out in the morning and an eagle landing in a tree nearby. The place and surroundings were very quiet and peaceful. Mike and Connie were wonderful hosts. We definitely would stay there again.

Wow what a beautiful location. We were there right at the peak of fall leaf colors. Would have loved to take a kayak out with my fish rods but the water was cold and we had some rough waters that week. Would love to go back and enjoy this area in the summer.The place was clean and comfortable.So much to do and see in the area so we were only there to sleep at night.

I did not realize that the access had no dock available and beach. From the pictures it looked like it was right at the level of shoreline when in fact it was a cliff view. I also had a bad experience with a stump (which was not taken down to the ground). I hit it with my car and sustained alot of damage. Made for a bad experience. The stump could not be seen when I pulled in the night for check in. The cabin was very clean and nice however the outside needed attention and fixing up. I was a code official in my job and it needed maintenance for safety sake.

Beautiful open waterfront stay

Very intimate setting but with plenty of outdoor waterfront pleasures. A massive shared lawn area that leads to a wonderful dock on the water. Plenary off water time amenities; fishing, kayaking, swimming… Mike (owner) was right there to make it all happen.

Cute little stay by the water!

We loved it here. Very cute little house, perfect for a couple wanting to explore Casco Bay. Wonderful views of the water. We got to kayak and lay out on the dock and saw the Milky Way. Mike and Connie were very helpful, highly recommend!

Nice, quiet location. Bed is super comfortable, and everything is neat and clean inside. We were a little confused which kayaks we could use and how to get them down to the water, and we were encouraged to use life vests, but there were none available (and we did not bring any with us). Otherwise, hosts were very responsive and we had a nice time.
