Beautiful and comfortable
Review Submitted: July 7, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
This home was lovely and easy to visit. We (two couples) stayed here for the last week of June 2009 and in spite of less than perfect weather, we had a wonderful time. The house itself is beautifully and comfortably furnished with everything you could wish for. The pictures are very accurate and there are newer appliances in the kitchen which makes it even better. If you like to cook, this house is very well set with many pots and pans, great utensils and two full sets of dishes. Also wine glasses, etc...The bedrooms are beautifully decorated and the beds are firm and cosy. There were more than enough pillows, blankets, etc. Lots of closet space as well. The bathrooms are clean and everything works well.
The Schoodic peninsula is beautiful and not highly touristed, so a great getaway from the usual tourist areas of midcoast to south coast Maine. The towns are small and friendly but if you are looking for big shopping, this is not the peninsula for you. It is an easy 40 minute drive to Mt. Desert Island and Ellsworth if you want more shopping, but if you want to bike, hike, kayak or just relax, this is the place. Biking is easy, mostly flat and ok for road bikers as well as mountain bikers.. The hiking in the Schoodic Acadia Point is limited (short trails) but beautiful and the cliffs, rocks and sand beaches there are quiet and lovely.
We saw two seals every morning from the deck and there is an adorable hummingbird couple who visit all day at the hummingbird feeder.. they are very bold and will come up to the deck even if you are sitting there. The deck is perfectly situated for watching the wildlife and the ocean with great comfortable outdoor furniture.
Wonderful, beautifully appointed home! Doug and Susan are great hosts and their "managers" Michele and Craig were responsive and helpful.
Enjoy!
Owner's Response: We really appreciated Naomi choosing our home for their Maine vacation! We hope to see them again.
