Our host Nancy was more than accommodating and gracious. The home was clean and comfortable. It was located near many attractions and hiking paths. We, by luck were greeted to an airshow by the Blue Angles flying overhead! The home had everything you needed, the kitchen was well equipped and the outside grounds and gardens were a delight. Beautiful flowers, pathways and plantings all around the home. The best thing was the awesome water view right from the house. So relaxing and peaceful. Thank you for a very enjoyable week Nancy!

Our stay during the month of July was perfect. Spectacular View. Amazing Landscape. True Maine cottage feel. Felt warm & inviting. Loved the sunroom & back deck & all the windows!! Nature filled yard and all the amazing birds! The environment was so peaceful that my husband relaxed and slept until noon each day. I so wished we could live there. :-)) The homeowner, Nancy, is a generous, fun, kind, and a friendly encyclopedia of Maine history and life in general. Waiting for her to write a book. Speaking of books, there were so many great books and magazines. I especially loved the cookbook located in the living room magazine rack next to the sofa. I loved looking at all the decorations, and unique things. By far my favorite thing was sitting on the back deck and watching the day go by.

The location of this house couldn't be better. A gorgeous view of the deep water Long Reach (no mud flats) from the picture window and an ample deck. Beautiful, well-maintained gardens surround the home. The house itself was roomy and the kitchen is well equipped. There is good cell phone reception and using your personal hotspot works well.

The location is convenient for day trips to Brunswick, Bath, Boothbay Harbor, and Popham beach. Nancy is a great host who is happy to provide information about the area.

Loved the quiet and the gardens

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Nancy was so welcoming and we so enjoyed our conversations. The house is very comfortable and peaceful, it’s all on one floor. Sitting on the deck in the evenings, overlooking the water of Long Reach inlet you can “hear” the silence and watch the sunset. Beautiful view of the water as well from the living room and the sunroom. Her flower gardens bring a smile to your face. A great place to go to get away from the day to day rush.

Relaxing stay on Long Reach

The owner was spectacular. Our flight arrived late and she knew the nearby restaurants were closing soon. She told us to go eat first and then she would check us in -- which turned out to be just after 9 pm. The patio / deck was probably the most used space by the 4 of us. We enjoyed visiting and taking in the incredible beauty of the area ... both as we all started the day and especially each evening as the sunset off the horizon from the deck.. We were easy access to Harpswell, Brunswick, Boothbay, Camden and other areas. It was the exact trip that we needed.

Amazing experience! First of all, the property is not only clean but classy. Location is perfect! We feel like at home away from home. The little birds, big turkeys, and chipmunks in the backyard make the stay extra interesting. We went to the Wolfneck State Park, which is great for shell fishing (no license required); We also went to Orre Island and Baileys Island to visit the lobstermen and watch sunset. Best spot to see sunset is at the foot of the Nerrow Bridage. Buying fresh lobsters from the boat at Glenns Lobsters dock is another great experience. 8/lbs is a steal! Last but not the least, Nancy is a wonderful host! She is a well educated lady who is also pretty handy, she decorated the house and yard very very very nicely! As a host, she is knowledgable, curtious & considerate. This is THE BEST vacation rental we have ever had! Will definitely return again in the future. Thank you Nancy!!!!

Most excellent!

We arrived Sunday afternoon for our honeymoon, and met Nancy there. She is most gracious and welcoming! After a rainy Monday spent relaxing after a hectic 2 weeks prior (we planned our own wedding), the rest of our week was sunny and seasonably cool for mid-September. The house is in the middle of quiet woods, storybook charming, cozy, fully appointed for a week's vacation. We couldn't have asked for a better setting/location! Did I mention the house is perfect? Spotless! The view of the inlet below the house is stunning. We saw eagles, cormorants, other birds, seals, and watched the tides ebb and flow from the deck. Walking back towards the main road, there were egrets and herons at the causeway to the island. Nancy said there might be deer about, but weren't seen. Seriously, there are no superlatives to adequately describe our enjoyment! Eat a meal on the deck or inside in a delightful addition to the main house, or for a more formal setting, in the dining room. Nancy has cultivated some lovely flowers about the outside guarded by gnomes. Everything is provided including linens. Stop at the grocery in Brunswick before you arrive, or there are a few local convenience stores in the area; you must bring your own food. Speaking of food, there's plenty of opportunities to sample the very freshly caught seafood and other delights for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Play tourist and explore! You won't be disappointed! We'll be back, for sure.

The property is in a great location and the host has put decades of love and care into the garden and the estate. The host was overboard with her hospitality which was not my style this trip, unfortunately. There was NO internet and no WiFi. I was disappointed to learn this at check-in when I planned to work remote and was unable due to the misinformation in the ad. Otherwise, it was excellent to unplug for the weekend in a true oasis. The house is vintage in all the wonderful ways and did irritate my allergies just as a warning to other sensitive folks. The host called me immediately after booking and proceeded to send a text or email and phone call daily the week before my two night trip. We had barely returned from a beach day to change attire before heading out to dinner and the host was making her way up the path for a visit. She was a wealth of history and recommendations. The host required a notice before checkout in order to have a meeting to review the trip before checkout.

Pure Heaven

I loved this house! It’s out of the way, but so close to anything you could ever want to see in mid coast Maine. It was like coming home every time we drove down the road, over the causeway and up to the house. It was so quiet and peaceful and our host Nancy was such a huge help in giving recommendations for our daily adventures. She is very knowledgeable about the area. She was always available but never in our way. The house has been lived in and loved. It’s not a sterile, no personality place to be there only to sleep. It’s the kind of place you want to look around and explore. I especially loved the view from the back deck and all the pretty flowers. I would love to visit again some day.
