Location is very good and the scenic beauty from hotel is fantastic. No breakfast, bathroom fan is not working, trash bin very less in room. But for 1 to 2 night stays is worth it.

Dave the manager here deserves a salute for his level of leadership, hospitality and commitment to customer service and customer experience! He made our stay feel like at home, loved the views from our room! The room was as spot clean, air condition was set to a very nice temperature for us in this hot weather and a big welcome from Dave made our stay in Maine the best adventure ever! We can’t wait to be back enjoy this wonderful listing ran by Dave the best!!!

This was the worst stay of our trip. The AC didn’t work in the first room (and we were there during the heat dome), the bathroom shower curtain wasn’t long enough so water went everywhere in the both room. Also, the floor was gross so we wore shoes or socks the whole time. Location was good, but this was just awful.
