In every way the perfect hostess. It is not easy to be a great host; the basics are covered with five stars, but there is much more that requires a delicate balance and Bill and Michael have achieved it. Enjoy your stay.

The room was small but very nicely decorated and clean. Bathtub was bit of a challenge with inner lining of the sheer curtain touching you from all sides. It’s a free standing bathtub converted into a shower. What I want to rave about is the breakfast that was served! Micheal, the host, was absolutely pleasant and made sure we were comfortable and well fed. I think I must’ve had the best blueberry pancake! Soft, pillowy, and chewy at the same time! I’m gonna remember those for awhile! Bill, the other host who’s also the cook is the best!

Quiet, beautiful grounds, spacious and comfortable rooms. Excellent homemade breakfast every day. Engaging, hospitable, warm hosts. Well located: taking a left or right out of the driveway takes you to Ogunquit or Wells/Kennebunkport. Handicapped accessible. Beautiful, well-thought-out room for persons with disabilities.

Maine coast
This was the second part of a honeymoon trip to New England. The house was very pretty, especially the landscaping. It was located so that we could go both north and south along the coast to explore. Mike and Bill were wonderful hosts. The breakfast was delicious, and more food than we could finish each day. The room was neat and clean, and the bed comfortable. The hosts were also very careful with their Covid precautions.
