Saltwater Farm at Phipps Point, Woolwich, Maine

If you like history, this is a wonderful place to stay. The house is full of historical detail, and the property brings you back in time. The location is absolutely beautiful. The hosts have adequately stocked the house with confortable bedding and linens as well as the kitchen, and it was very nice to not have to worry about bringing anything but ourselves. I especially loved the old soapstone sink in the kitchen. We had a chance to take a walk around the property, and the natural setting and beauty was just magical. We did experience some issues related to the weather, and our communication with the host was great and she resolved it right away. I would highly recommend this property and it was a pleasure communicating with Catherine. My only feedback is that the house could use some decluttering of the personal effects like the old books and maybe have some upgrades to the older carpeting and furnishings, especially for anyone that might be allergy sensitive. However, my kids and I really loved how charming and comfortable the property was.

We had a wonderful week here, in a old quiet house down a quiet road. Plenty to do nearby. The house is dated but that’s obvious in the listing. It could use a serious de-cluttering, but it didn’t affect my experience.

We enjoyed this area with all the walking trails. The home was cozy and filled with history. It was quiet and peaceful. We would stay again.

We loved our stay at the DeWick Farm. The house is on a large piece of property near the end of a small country road. Communications with Catherine was easy from beginning to end. The house was clean and well-equipped. A few things to note for those considering: 1. The family has generously placed much of the property in a land trust with trails throughout for the public to use. We love the spirit of sharing the beautiful property but you should be aware that there is a parking area across the street from the house that can be fairly active in the morning. 2. The downstairs bedroom has a toilet and sink in the bedroom (not in a separate room). 3. None of the downstairs windows seem to open so it can get a bit stuffy on a hot day. We opened the front door and kitchen doors to get OK air flow. 4. The barn/studio is attached to the house through a small mudroom off the kitchen. This is an amazing space with a big screened opening looking out towards the street and the field beyond. We spent as much time as we could in this space. 5. Reid State Park is a 30 min drive away. Stunning beach with excellent swimming options. 6. Sewell Pond is between the farm and Reid State Park. Perfect spot for a quick fresh-water dip. All-in-all a wonderful week. We strongly recommend.
