Dan was super pleasant and friendly. House is cute, but dated; clean, but not squeaky clean. Recliners are worn and uncomfortable, towels are old, and shower curtain liner needs replacing. The weather was perfect for opening the upstairs windows at night, and having access to the internet is a plus. The location suited our needs and we would stay again.

Well managed and well maintained. It has everything. But a little close to road with traffic noise.

Lovely house with nice touches. Plenty to see on the peninsula—Castine, Deer Isle, Stonington, Blue Hill to name a few of the beautiful spots. Dan, the host, had some excellent suggestions for local restaurants, too.

Dan is a top- notch host. He’s easy to communicate with, flexible, and super friendly. The house feels like an Irish B&B in its decor. Very comfortable! Highlight is sitting on the deck, overlooking the meadow toward parts of the Penobscot River in the distance. Frequent visits from a pair of bluebirds was a special treat.

It was a cute cottage. No air conditioning upstairs made it a little uncomfortable during a high humidity week. Furniture waa a bit too used and worn. It was a good location for traveling to lighthouses in Mid Maine. We had a great time finding lighthouses and eating lobster ar Glenn's Restaurant.

We enjoyed our stay at the Riverhouse. Dan was a gracious host who met us for checkin and checkout. He recommended restaurants and things to see and do. The bedrooms are upstairs and it was quite warm during our stay, so that was the only drawback. Dan had fans for the bedrooms which helped and opening the windows allowed a breeze at night. The air conditioning is a window unit. We walked down the hill and through the woods to the Penobscot River and enjoyed looking for shells several times. One evening, we startled a deer who was relaxing in the woods. Castine is a cool town and Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory/Fort Knox is definitely worth a visit. Acadia was about an hour away and overcrowded since it was the summer, which meant getting back to the Riverhouse took 100+ minutes in the evening.

Had a pleasant stay here. No issues with property and owner was very nice. Good views and location, situated between plenty of small towns and tourist spots. Thanks!
