What an amazing house! We were there with 3 other couples who are longtime friends that are now spread across the country. We enjoyed each having our own bathroom and plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen is huge and exceptionally well stocked. The only two negatives-there is a lot of street noise, which we eventually adjusted too. The big negative was that the washing machine was broken and one member of our group was planning to do laundry mid-way through the week since the amenities listed washer/dryer.

What an experience! The house was beautiful, you don’t know how important it is to have your own bath in every bedroom! The views were amazing and plenty of things within walking distance! Made our first trip to Maine such a great experience we decided to head back in a couple of weeks! Thanks Laura for opening your home to my family and for the recommendations, we loved every minute of it!

If I could give this property 10 stars I would! It’s a beautiful historic home with a lovely addition added. The VIEW is phenomenal. The kitchen is large with 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers and a large island. Well stocked with everything you need to cook. Perfect for a larger gathering. The outdoor patio was a favorite spot for morning coffee and afternoon chats watching the 11 foot tide swings. A bathroom for every bedroom. Plus a powder room in main hall. Gorgeous blooming gardens well kept by a gardener all around the house. Clean, comfortable, absolutely lovely. The quaint town of Blue Hill has fantastic gift shops, yummy coffee shops, a few great restaurants, a lobster shack, a wine shop. The wine shop was closed and opened for us just so we could grab 2 bottles for our last night. They even corked it! Arborvine restaurant was one of the best meals of the week. Don’t skip it. Laura is extremely helpful with lots of local knowledge and very quick to respond. Lacey the housekeeper went out of her way to deliver surprises we had shipped. 7 women celebrating our 60th year together. We all LOVED the house! What a spot!!! Also close to all the amazing coastal sites in Maine. Just WOW.
