5/5 Excellent

"What a little gem in Maine! We stayed here in late June with a group of 17 family members and everyone had a great stay. The views from the resort are stunning, the rooms are small but well appointed, the restaurant is great, and the service was top notch! Jimmy was especially great and went out of his way to make sure we were well taken care of! If you are looking for a quiet place that screams coastal Maine, this is your place!"
