10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
It was a beautiful old house and we loved it! I wish the kitchen was a little more equipped.. bigger bowl for salad or a toaster but in general we could use whatever was there happily! It was a little chilly and we didn’t use the back yard but in a warmer day, that would be a great place to hang out and do barbecue. Overall we enjoyed our stay!
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
This property was clean and had everything we needed. Within walking distance to restaurants, stores and Maine Medical. The check process was seamless and the off street parking was great!

Nice place.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2025
Nice location close to downtown. Rooms large with king beds. Medium size family room. 1 full and 1 half bathroom.
Needs more blankets. Windows not well sealed (historic old house). House gets very cold in winter. Small heaters take a while to work.
Coild use a toaster for bagels, bread. We ended up using the oven.
Kitchen os of adequate size but needs more utensils.
Parking us $50 per day. Didnt know this until after booking. Unable to park on street since area residents take all spots due to fact that homes lack garage or parking space.
