Little gem

This place is beautiful! Well kept and very quiet with the exception of the A/C unit that it was loud! The staff was very very friendly and helpful! I had some specific request and they helped me every single time. The restaurant had great food and views of the water.

Great views of the bay from your deck and property. Plenty of things to keep busy with like shuffle board, horse shoes and other yard games. older rooms like, small TV, Walls are very thin and can hear into the other rooms and bed was extremely hard. Staff was extremely nice and the complementary breakfast was very good.

The property is situated on a quaint little cove with sailboats, lobster boats coming in and out of the dock. Tons of water fowl and we even saw a bald eagle fly over. Our deck from the main house was a perfect vantage point for breakfast in the mornings and later afternoon relaxing as the evening fell. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with any need. Hot coffee ready by 6:30 each day and some afternoon treats. The Dockside bar and seating area was very convenient and had some great food for a quick bite. Walking trails and water views close by for enjoying the Maine coast.

We loved everything about the property. The bed was so comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. Even though it had to be served on a tray for Covid safety. We will definitely be back and have already recommended it to family and friends. Very close to walking trails, beach and shopping. We loved sitting in the adorondak chairs on the front lawn facing the ocean to read a book.
