We never got to stay here because they somehow got our reservations wrong, blaming it on Expedia, despite making them about 2 months in advance. We had reserved a room with two beds, but they gave us a room with one bed. We had printed (yup, good old paper) the original reservation to show the mistake. But being that it was Labor Day weekend, they were booked solid and had nothing else to give us. The woman on duty was exceptionally apologetic and very kind. She called the manager, who basically said, "too bad." We tried to make it work, using the pull-out couch, even though we weren't happy about that. But the room was way too small for both the pull-out couch and bed. We had to move the couch, which opened on a slant and completely blocked the bathroom and exit. If there was a fire, the person in the bed would have been trapped. I asked her to try to find a room at another establishment. Luckily, she did. We wound up staying at Ducktrap Motel a mile north, which actually was better anyway, as it was farther from the loud highway and the floor didn't shake when someone walked up the stairs. Had a nice lawn and fire pit, tooIt was also cheaper, but no breakfast. However, because this rearrangement took so long, we had to abandon our evening plans, which was annoying. It looked like a very cute place and we were super excited when we pulled in, but it didn't work out. If you want to stay there, don't go through Expedia and call often to confirm. Or just stay at Ducktrap Motel.

Rustic

It was very small not much room in the cottages. You had to flush the toilet twice at one seating. Bed was comfortable but the frig made alot of noise. The area was beautiful and peaceful. You had to travel a long way to get to everything.

Location fantastica equidistante da tutti i punti migliori del Maine (Acadia e Portland), struttura immersa nel verde costituita da cottage e stanze in stile, semplice ma gustosissima colazione, personale davvero caloroso! Migliorerei solo un po’ le pulizia degli ambienti interni, magari prevedendo un cambio lenzuola ogni 3 giorni. Comunque è vera la frase nella breakfast room: entri ospite ed esci amico!!! Great place in a great Maine!!!!!

Site not Updated

I had reserved a room with two beds. Upon arrival, I was given a room with one bed and a fold out couch. I requested to be moved and was originally told that was not possible. I was traveling with my adult daughter and didn't want her to have to sleep on a couch. I was eventually "upgraded" to a 2 bedroom cottage (which was indeed very nice) when I insisted, but i shouldn't have had to insist... and I would've been happy with just the room with two beds - they didn't have one available. They said the site I booked on (hotels.com) must not have been updated - but that is their fault, not mine.

Window in door was broken, curtains were falling down because rods were not attached properly, had a 19" tv, lacked cleanliness, sheets were used as bed shams, and the room needs to be updated and needs repairs badly for the price we paid to stay there. Was very disappointed

Cute Little Cabin

Little cabin with double bed and little front porch. Clean and comfortable, if a bit crowded.

Cool cottage feel and lots of space! The place hadn’t been fully cleaned before we arrived (someone else’s trash in our room and the bath tub had gritty sand in it). The milk was sour at breakfast and I found it odd to be expected to take out our own (and the previous people’s) garbage at this price point.

The property is pretty and well taken care of. The bathroom wasn't cleaned very well though. The window sill was full of dead bugs. The faucet hadn't been cleaned in a while. You could run your finger down it and see the dust come up off from it. When we picked the soap up in the shower it was wet underneath it. I complained to the person at the desk and she apologized saying that it is usually very clean. Considering it was rented the night before there is no way that is from one night. When you are paying $162 a night with tax you expect it to at least be clean.
