The house felt extremely comfortable and charming. Great mattresses and the house is solidly built - not creaky for an older home and sound doesn’t travel from upstairs / next door. The only downside is the tricky stairs with a young child or elderly person to get to the third floor living room / kitchen. It’s a very special neighborhood - two minute drive to a charming beach cove and two minute drive to a great waterside restaurant, Coveside. The host was extremely thoughtful and communicative. I highly recommend it!

House was well appointed and owner was very responsive and helpful. The location was great for our family as we were visiting with others in Christmas Cove. Love the three levels of living space. Lots of stairs, but that did not bother us!

A group of dear friends and I had an amazing weekend in Christmas Cove thanks to Jill and her rental house. The house was perfect for all of us and located in quaint and lovely part of Maine. The house is better in person, with great lighting, hardwood floors, and a large kitchen and living room. Jill, was a great host and gave us plenty of local insights. She was very responsive to our questions. Thanks so much for providing a wonderful weekend getaway for my friends and me!

Very unique property. All our group loved Jill's place. A little confusing as where to park and dispose of trash. Perhaps a visiting midwesterner is a dumb dumb to coastal Maine instructions. We all would stay again!!

We stayed at ' The Castle House' of Rutherfords Island, Christmas Cove, for a short break. The property is very nice and well equipped. Jill (our host) is very accommodating and helpful. Her recommendations (for restaurants, activities, and places to see) were spot on. She also took us out on a pleasant and relaxing sale, around the cove. We recommend this property, and host, wholeheartedy!
