My experience at this property was great. I spent the weekend up there with a few of my buddies who were in the area for a golf tournament. The home was very clean, and upon arrival, there were notes on the kitchen counter from Gwen about things to do in the area, and any additional information about the house that would be helpful. Gwen was very responsive during our trip whenever I had any questions and was an overall great host!

Loved this warm and welcoming home! It’s in a great location, private but walking distance to lots of cafes and shops in Portsmouth and Kittery. The host Gwen provides lots of great recommendations too.

My family enjoyed staying at your home. We could walk to restaurants and easily drive up the coast to a beach. Very nice weekend!

Highly recommended. I've stayed in many vacation rentals, and this is certainly up there in the top of the list. My family had a wonderful time staying with Gwen. She was extremely friendly and flexible - we ended up arriving before the normal check-in time and since it was ready early we were able to get some extra rest time before our afternoon activities. The house itself is just great. It is full of color, with all kinds of wonderful surprises. There is the little table decorated with a lizard, the great selection of books, cute greeting cards all around, and just generally a great vibe. We had 5 people there, and an additional few folks over for breakfast one morning - tons of space for everyone and no issues at all. There is a nice patio outside, and a great 'sun room' in the front. Tons of ways to hang out and have a restful time as a group. Location is good. One evening I did a nice 30 minute round trip jog over through downtown Portsmouth. Walking, you can probably get anywhere in Portsmouth in 30 minutes one-way - less, if you aren't going all the way to the far side of town. There are also a couple really good options right down the block in Kittery for BBQ/breakfast/whatever. I 100% recommend walking down the block to Lil's in the morning for some donuts/crullers - they are probably the best I have had in my life. Get the cinnamon sugar ones. Then get a few more for after your friends/family steal yours. One (very) minor note - the stairs to the second floor are a bit steep. My 70+ father had no troubles at all, but if you are on the frail side, just a note that the bedrooms are all upstairs. To be clear - the stairs are in no way unstable or dangerous.

Had a wonderful time on Love Lane! Gwen’s home is creatively decorated, comfortable and is easy access to York Maine or just a bike ride to Portsmouth . We all enjoyed the (too short ) weekend throughly .

Really enjoyed the house, great garden and patio. All the furniture is very comfortable.

In spite of 90plus degree heat we enjoyed the house and area. It is such a happy house with positive vibes everywhere. The yard is just as beautiful with trees and flowers and plantings in abundance. And everything lights up when it gets dark. We felt so at home. Gwen is a perfect hostess,checking to be sure our needs were met. We also enjoyed the area and had fun in both Kittery and Portsmouth. Hoping to go back for another visit in the future. Anne C.

Five former college roommates who get together at least once a year found their way to the east coast and into this perfect house for our girl's weekend. We had plenty of space to spread out and we were so close to so many fun things- walking or driving. Some of the Midwest girls were not accustomed to being somewhere without AC, but the handy little fans in every room helped! (it was a very hot and sticky couple of days!) We enjoyed the cheerful decor and atmosphere. We enjoyed our stay and the host's hospitality very much. Recommended!! Thank you, Gwen!

We had a wonderful girls' weekend at Gwen's beautiful home. We loved the house! It was such a fun stay. Gwen has done such a great job decorating and the gardens were lovely. It was so convenient to Portsmouth as well. We walked into town each day and it was very scenic. The house had everything we needed and it was so cheery and bright. We had a problem with the shower one day and Gwen had it fixed immediately. She was so very kind and responsive. We highly recommend this home. It truly was a special place.

This home was clean, comfortable and well appointed with interesting and colorful decorations throughout the house. It was also perfectly located as a central stop for all of the places we wanted to visit in Maine, New Hampshire, and Mass. Easy to get to Ogunquit, Kittery, Portsmouth and more, and a quiet and restful place to be in between. Gwen was a very helpful and welcoming host and gave us several great recommendations for dining in the area.

This house is so comfortable and adorable---full of positive energy and beautiful décor. Wish we could have stayed longer just to kick back on the porch and read more of the books on premise! Also, the grounds are beautiful, the location is stellar, and Gwen was a most lovely and attentive host throughout our stay. Highly, highly recommend!!!

I am sincerely and thoroughly disgusted with the attitude of the owner of this hostil and toxic environment. It was well over 100 degrees inside upon our arrival. We stayed three hours only because our husbands we on the golf course and unable to be reached. I as well as my one year old granddaughter suffered heat stroke a very dangerous condition as a direct result of the “accommodations “ We spent well over $1000.00 in hotel costs as a result of our three hour stay. The owner claims we “trashed” her home. Which is a bold faced lie. It would have been the kind thing to donhad the owner warned us in advance of the uninhabitable condition of her establishment and refunded our money prior to our suffering physically harmful conditions. We were offered a full refund by the owner. Of which we recieved a little over a third along with an inappropriate scathing by email. Please use caution when renting. This is our fourth VRBO rental. The three previous stays far exceeded our expectations. This however was a total disaster. Most sincerely Eileen and John Groom.
