It was a quick overnight graduation trip to Orono and of course I waited too late to book. This was about 45 minutes from UMaine but that was better than a 3 1/2 hour trip from home! The location was right of Rte 1 and close to everything we might need, including Walmart. The house was huge and very clean, just like the pictures. A few things to consider when staying - the stairs going to the second floor were steep, so watch young kids and older parents (this is an old house with lots of character that was renovated); there are some transition strips or door sashes that are not flat so make sure you step up. It is like this in many homes but better to mention it than to stub a toe! Our trip was super short so we did not get to enjoy the backyard or surrounding area very much. The owner was fantastic when my son and his girlfriend decided to spend the night before graduation with us rather than at UMaine. I contacted him and he immediately responded with a "no problem!". I would recommend this location to anyone, especially if you have a large group!

This property was a lot of fun to stay at. It’s a charming, rustic two story cottage with plenty of room for the 10 of us traveling together. It’s 5-10 minutes from Ellsworth and 45 minutes from Acadia. We really enjoyed our time there. Our host, Jon, was great. Each time I contacted him, he responded almost immediately and was very helpful. All towels and linens are provided and there’s plenty of pans and dishes for cooking. We had a little trouble watching a movie (it kept buffering and quitting on us) because the Wi-Fi was overwhelmed, but everything else was great. I would highly recommend this property!

Everything was good except we had trouble with the heat in the front room with 3 beds in it.

Large home for all

Property was as described. It was a pleasure to stay here
