We have had wonderful guests who have enjoyed our beautiful family home and acres of private land on the mid-coast of Maine. Our renters have enjoyed the secluded property while being close enough to explore from Portland to Camden and all of the great stops in between that the mid-coast has to offer. We have made sure to provide every amenity to make your stay comfortable, relaxing and fun. We are always here to help you plan your trip to the mid coast and are extremely attentive to your questions and needs. We have a 2 week maximum stay.

The house was comfortable, and the property was beautiful and peaceful. We would have enjoyed it more if we could have accessed the water from our own yard.

We had a great week at the Dunn house. The kitchen has everything you need on vacation, the great room was light and airy, and the bedrooms had plenty of space. We brought our dogs and they loved having the huge lawn to go and run around. The location is great—not too far from touristy spots but nice and quiet so you truly relax on vacation. Hope to come back again soon!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Dunn House. The home is lovely and very well appointed. A relaxing and lovely setting. Close with nature for sure…saw deer dining on the lawn nightly, and Eagles on our kayaking trip and ducklings crossing the road… Nature, nature, nature!!

This was our second stay at Dunn House and we loved it once again. The house is very clean, quiet and well-equipped. We had one minor problem with the gas fireplace that the owner took care of promptly so we could use it on the cooler mornings. The area is beautiful with lots of great outdoor activities. We look forward to returning next year!
