Recent Penobscot Bay guest reviews

Great location, an easy walk into town. The house is spacious, bed comfortable, and everything worked well...other than brown water coming out of all the taps one evening. For those who like to cook I'd suggest the owners do a little knife sharpening. Other than what, we totally loved our stay and would recommend the Wheelhouse to anyone.

Thank you for a lovely stay on Rackliff Island. The home is beautiful and well appointed. The area is serene.

We have returned to Point Lookout for years for vacationing. Beautiful, peaceful and pet friendly have made it an ideal place to stay. We have been able to stay in and enjoy the comforts of the cabins or venture out to see and do plenty of things. We are looking forward to returning!
