This is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. Quiet and tranquil with flowers and birds everywhere. It was a great jumping off place for other activities in the area and a quiet retreat after a busy day. The owners are very hospitable and welcoming.

Hi Teresa!
We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Twin Ponds. You were a wonderful guest and will always be welcome here.

This is a special place. Beautiful gardens, fruit trees, ponds set back from the road enough to offer peace and quiet. Luana and Brian (and their dog Oscar) were gracious and kind hosts. We enjoyed everything about our stay at their lovely home.
It was nice. Close enough to the highway and main roads but set far enough off the road that you couldn't really hear anything.

So happy you and Loucy could stay at Twin Ponds. It was great to see you after soooo many years. Fun to hear about your family!
We hope you’ll be back to Bowdoinham again. Oscar will be sure to greet you🐾
Luana, Brian and Oscar🐾
Brian and Luana have created an absolutely charming oasis on their property in Maine. The grounds are stunning, and the accommodations themselves are lovely. Brian has handmade all the furniture, and Luana’s styling and decorating are perfect. Their cute dog Oscar was the cherry on top! We thoroughly enjoyed and look forward to staying there again in the future!
This is a very nice space that is comfortable and well equipped. The property grounds were peaceful and the hosts were very gracious. I asked about early arrival and was sent a text as soon as the apartment was available. I would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed having you at “TwinPonds”, and hope you’ll return some day. Oscar really enjoyed getting to know you, and especially loved “helping” you pack your truck before you left. I loved watching that as I had my morning coffee! We look forward to your return. HappyHolidays!! Luana,Brian and Oscar🐾
Brian and Luana were wonderful hosts and their flat was clean, comfortable and well cared for. We had a great stay at their place. Thanks, Luana and Brian!

Hi Don!
We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Twin Ponds. Thank you for taking the time to review our property.
It sounds like you covered a lot of ground while here. Remember that Brian might be able to help you make some local connections in the real estate business.
You will always be welcome at Twin Ponds. We hope you have the opportunity to come again!
Luana, Brian and Oscar🐾
The accommodations at Twin Ponds were great. We were very comfortable and felt very much at home. Unfortunately, it rained most of the time, so we didn't get to enjoy the beautiful grounds. The hosts were very friendly and made sure we had everything that we needed. Oscar was very friendly too! The location was very convenient to our relatives and places we wanted to visit. We'd definitely return in the future!
We loved the location. Flew in to Portland Airport, drove to Bath and Boothbay, and a day trip out to Acadia National Park
The propriety is quiet and very pretty. Great parking, private entrance, nicely decorated suite with everything we needed.
