Recent Penobscot Bay guest reviews

What an absolutely wonderful stay at this home!! The house itself is just beautiful, with a lot of lovely historic character and features, as well as modern conveniences (like the soaking tub in the master bathroom - amazing!). So many small details have been considered to make the home comfortable for guests and large groups - the kitchen is well-equipped for cooking, the decor reflects the coastal location, and there are lots of books, games, and other features in the home for guests to enjoy. With two separate living room areas, it's easy for even large groups and families to find space for everyone to relax comfortably. And the beds are incredibly comfortable! The location is also hard to beat - it's a quiet, historic neighborhood but within a short walk of downtown Belfast and the Belfast Harbor. There are lots of great restaurants and coffee shops in the area, plus many other towns, parks, and areas to explore within a short drive. Absolutely recommend this home for your mid-coast Maine adventures!

The setting on the edge of the ocean with lots of windows facing it was fabulous! We had a wonderful week. I did a lot of watercolor paintings, being inspired by the changing beauty looking out at the water. We even had a rainbow over the water on of the days!

This was such a beautiful home. It was spacious and had a perfect set up for our two families with kids (4 adults, 4 kids). It was so neat to stay in an old gothic revival style home with beautiful architectural details. The inside decor just added to the character—it honored the gothic/Victorian style of the home, but also pulled in a coastal and modern vibe. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, and the library was extra cool. Our kids especially enjoyed the “puffins landing” bedroom with a cozy, built-in nook. This house is also in the perfect location. It’s in a cute neighborhood just blocks from all of the downtown businesses and ocean, and the whole town is so walkable. Belfast has great restaurants, but also doesn’t feel as congested as some other midcoast towns. We will be back! This was the perfect retreat.
