Very cute home, exactly as described, owners were easy to communicate with and our stay was perfect.
We only stayed for one night, but this cottage was all we needed. It’s been thoughtfully remodeled, was very clean, and all the beds were comfy. Our ten-year-old loved the “cuckoo clock room’s” loft doors. If our travels take us this way again, would definitely stay here.
We enjoyed a restful, comfortable stay. Everything that we could have needed was right there at our fingertips. The Village House was very welcoming, clean and felt like home.
Our stay at this property was excellent, start to finish. Priced right for the location and the amenities, the place was everything as described. Comfortable bedding, flexible sleeping arrangements (3 bedrooms) and well equipped. Communication with the manager/owner was easy and quick. Highly recommend this property for a no frills experience. About an hour drive to Sunday River resort where we skied.
The house is very cute, in a good location for peace and quiet. It was kind of boring, and we tried to find the beach or something to do and there really wasn't too much. We wished we had brought some games or something to do. The owners and managers were very nice and super helpful.
My husband and I stayed at Michaels rental for a wedding weekend in Maine. The location was perfect for the two of us. The space was clean and Michael was very responsive to our questions and prompt to help us get in the property. Would highly recommend for a small family getaway!
Thankful for the one night availability and Mike was great allowing us to check in a bit early after driving 3 hours to get ready for a family wedding! House was immaculate and convenient to the venue.
We stayed for a week. It was great. Quiet, cozy and clean. Bed ate comfortable, kitchen had all the necessities, and a few extras too. The perfect place to unwind and just get away from it all. Yet only a short day trip to Portland, Bangor and many other small coastal towns.
I'm from the south and I was cold the first night.
The property is nice and well maintained. That said, I was very cold. I realize that energy is expensive, however, entering the house with one heater set to low was inadequate. It was 42 degrees outside when I arrived and I could not appreciate any warmth as I entered the house. Without my heating pad, I would have suffered the first night. It took until the next morning for the house and furnishings to warm adequately. I expected the house to be at least 65 degrees inside on arrival. There's absolutely no way that it was near that level of comfort the first night.
We came in for a wedding. So much better than staying in a hotel. Plenty of room for everyone to get ready, have time to theirselves etc. There was an iron and board so we all looked our best. Just really enjoyed it.
The process from beginning to end was smooth and the host was very pleasant and helpful. Everything was labeled in the property and the property itself was cozy and very welcoming. Everything was clean and the area was excellent. I recommend this property to anyone who wants to get to know a little bit about the real Maine, not just Vacationland.
My friend and I get together a few tomes a year to scrapbook and the space was great . The home is very clean the beds were very comfortable. The only thing that we were a little disappointed with was we could not get enough hor water for a nice soak in the bath tub.
We lived in a cute nice house that was unfortunately opposite the schoolbus depot and on the ME - 140. There was heavy trafic on the road from 6 am to 9 pm , because it was on the federal highway.
Access was quite easy thanks to a numerical code.
Apart from the noise from the street, we really iked the house and the surrounding aera.

I loved everything. The only thing I would suggest is putting a sensor light in the driveway. It’s very dark at night being country. It would be easier to back out of the driveway. Definitely will be back.
In the area for a wedding, brought motorcycles along...
Property just as described on web site, great for a home-base, no problems (except for bike performance). Master bed on 2nd floor, with bathroom on first - let those kids do the steps in the middle of the night! Needless to say, we used separate beds on the first floor.
Otherwise, great accommodations.
