My 3 sisters and all of our spouses spent a long weekend at this fabulous farmhouse from 7/10-7/13/09. All 8 of us had a fantastic time. The farmhouse is a gorgeous creation by Melissa Thornton. She has taken pieces from the barn that once stood on the property and built this beautiful farmhouse with a spectacular view of the river that is surrounded by acres of wonderful wildlife of all kinds. The house has 5 beautiful colorful bedrooms all with their own baths. The kitchen is enormous with everything you need. Fully stocked and a table that seats 14 easily. The greatroom is full of windows and more windows that also look out over the river. Lots of space in this very large cathedral ceiling room. It's the perfect place to hang out together and read, do puzzles, play games or just talk and laugh Just awesome! So much to offer right on-site and if you are looking to get out and about, the beautiful botanical gardens and Boothbay Harbor are only minutes away. I can't say enough about the property and Melissa was a fantastic host. She was very accommodating and attentive to her guests. Would definitely return for another stay!

Owner's Response: It is such a joy to host groups of friends and/or family at this beautiful site...and this family was particularlly delightful...full of interesting life stories, great questions, laughter and fun. The harmony amongst the four sisters and their spouses was inspirational...a great loving connection.
They enjoyed time spent cooking and eating together--both in the kitchen and grilling on the back lawn--and wandering the grounds to the pond and the river, as well as voyaging to see the sights in the area--the Botanical Gardens, the shops and galleries of Boothbay Harbor, the nearby hiking preserves.
They gathered and played games and laughed into the night in the Great Room...they really made the place their home away from home. It was a joy to watch them and to interact with them.
