Blue HIll Apartment in the Woods

Warm and comfortable stay with everything we need in the unit.

None

Quiet, lively apartment

Gorgeous wooded location, quiet but close to Blue Hill proper and the grocery store and convenience store. Hosts communicated often and well, and checked in to make sure I had what I needed (and were very responsive when I couldn't work the door lock 🫣). Huge space - I only stayed a few days but could easily spend a longer stay comfortably. Great amenities with a little kitchenette and they have a real freezer which was great for my local ice cream!

The only negative I could figure to put here is the driveway might be a little difficult in heavy rain for someone without 4wd. I was totally fine in an Outback.

The host was fantastic at clear, timely, friendly communication. The location was perfect for my needs and it is absolutely dead quiet. The Hannaford 2 minutes down the road for gas and groceries was a huge plus. A mini-split meant the room environment was perfectly controllable. I didn't see or hear another human.

For $190 a night I expect a proper bed frame and a proper mattress. One more night and I would have needed a chiropractor. I also have bruises on my thigh from trying to get out of bed over the side of the 'frame'. For $190 a night I expect drawers that work and cupboards and drawers to have knobs. And mugs / cups bigger than a thimble. The toaster oven is barely big enough to put one piece of bread in, so I am not even sure why it's there. For $190 a night I expect - at a minimum - Kirkland TP, not TP thinner than tissue that requires half a roll to effectively blow your nose. I also expect a TV that is big enough to read the text on without having to move it closer to the bed. The yard and garage that you walk through to reach the apartment feel like a construction site. And the sand. Man, the sand gets everywhere. There's no drapes, just cheap, un-ironed sheers. The outside flood lights stay on all night which effectively lit up the sleeping area. Almost didn't need lights on in the unit. Horrible for sleeping. It sounds like I thought it was awful - I didn't - the place was fine, just not for $190 a night. Also, being asked to strip the bed of linens - nope, not for $190 a night. I actually brought a sheet sleeping bag and laid that on top of all the bed covers, and didn't use their linens so it didn't apply to me, but still, not acceptable.
