We have rented many properties for our yearly family vacation but this was by far our favorite! We've already rebooked for next year. The location, the size of the property, the pool, the outdoor areas... everything was amazing! The adults loved the deepwater dock, the kayaks and canoe. The little kids loved the pool. There were many places to go visit locally but we were able to come back to the peace and tranquility of the house. The guest cottage was a big hit for the grandkids!

These two clean and well stocked cabins were much enjoyed by ten adults and four children as our family gathered for a week's reunion. The cabins were clean and marvelously well equipped with large dishwasher and microwave, and ample plate ware and utensils. We enjoyed eating dinners on the large table on the deck. The mattresses were comfortable, and the pool and ping pong table utilized with enthusiasm. We used the kayaks and canoe each day, and even sat on the dock to watch fireworks on the 4th of July! Jessica was responsive and immediately helpful with a need we had. Lots to do in the area: We hiked Bonyun Preserve, walked the beaches at Reid State Park and the Popham Beach, explored historic Fort Popham, searched for the enormous wooden trolls in the Botanical gardens, picnicked in Boothbay Harbor, and played golf at the nearby courses. Everyone had an excellent experience and we all hope to come back!

It was a very nice place for a family vacation. There was plenty of room for all of us (10).Yard and inside games provided along with kayaks for the river and a pool.

Overall it was great - pools make all the difference with young kids! The communal space indoors was a little tight for adults, but the porch area was great. Seemed a little stingy to only supply 1TP roll per bathroom for the stay. The instruction book had vanished, and the info about the pool care was a little too much for non-owners of a pool. If there is an anticipated heat wave, bring fans with power. Really great location!

We had a girls long weekend and wish we could've stayed longer. Beautiful place! There were 9 of us and several were going to stay in the cottage, but it just seem cozy and warm so we all stayed in the house which worked out completely fine. The cottage was very clean and nice, i just think it would be better in the summer, we were there in the fall. We loved being by the water and took the kayaks out, and had a wonderful fire one nite. Loved the walk down to the water, but it is quite a steep and longer walk, so i wouldn't recommend it for anyone that has any walking physical disabilities. Wish we could've used the pool, maybe next time out.

Very nice place and location. Loved the separate cabin where the older kids were able to stay separate from the adults. Only issue was that the pool was not usable as it was dirty and green - late in the season but we still were hoping to be able to take a dip (especially the young kids)

This property was perfect for our extended family. The grandchildren loved the yard and had many whiffle ball, football and soccer games! The pool was an added perk that everyone enjoyed! We had a great week, that flew by way to fast.
