Testimonial

“I love this place. Penny has created a true one-of-a-kind retreat that really captures the feel of the area with a rustic charm that is at the same time private, super comfortable and authentically unique. Communication is super easy and her knowledge of the area made our first trip to Maine a great experience that I will definitely come back for. (If I could I’d just move in and never leave.) Best host ever!”
