Mark was amazing! Super communicative. Texted to make sure we arrived, and was very helpful. The view was unreal. Maine is beautiful and the cabin was in a great location. It says it's on a pond and maybe that's true for Maine standards, but I'd say it's a lake.

Mark's place was so much more than we had expected. My daughter had rented it for her Aunt and I, with us not being experienced in Air BnB; we really were not sure what we were in for. So when we arrived to a absolutely adorable cabin with a spectacular view, to say we were pleased would be an understatement. His cabin has all the amenities and Mark is always available and responsive when you need him. The only regret is that we could not stay longer. We would definitely stay here again.

it is a slot as one imagines the Canadian cabin near a lake. cozy, perfect for quiet rejuvenation. we really appreciated the very place and thoughtfulness De Mark has allowed us to make this short visit in Maine and we hope to return. Mark thank you

Hi there! We very much enjoyed our time at Mark's cottage & would love to back again! The place was very clean and spacious with 2 bedrooms, ceiling fans, good size bathroom,a gorgeous (relaxing) sun room with an even nicer view of the lake. We got there at night & we had no clue what was outstandw the window until morning. Then wow! The gorgeous Lake. It was cozy & quiet and Mark was almost always available immediately or always got back together us. We didn't meet him but he wa very gracious and helpful via text. We brought our toddler and although we had to rearrange the place haha.... We all still enjoyed it. The boat was fantastic, and so peaceful to take out onto the lake. The only suggestion I would've made was to add curtains to the front door.. As it had a big window on my he door. All else was perfect. :) thank you again Mark even for the kindness and extra day.

Amazing place and excellent host! Mark was so helpful and flexible at all times. The cabin is private and very cute. The lake is beautiful. Perfect for a relaxing and/or fun time in couple or with family. I would return without hesitating.

This was even better and more peaceful than we thought it would be. The cottage/cabin was very cozy and we felt very welcome. Mark was very quick to reply to any questions. The pond/lake view was amazing and it's a great quiet place to go relax.

This is a perfect example of why airbnb is such a great idea!! The cabin is in a stunning location but easily reached by car. As for the inside - it is a full fledged house that can easily house two couples. Full of local flavor and quirky maine details. The best airbnb example so far! Thanks to Mark for sharing it with the world!

Mark's cabin was clean, quiet and cozy, just what we were looking for on our mini vacation in Maine. We enjoyed exploring Stanley Pond using the metal rowboat, and relaxing on the small beach with our dog Ruby (who even went in the water which is shocking). I would highly recommend this cabin for people who want a quiet get away.

Danny and Diane were the most lovely hosts we could ask for. There place was clean and beautiful with a great pool. Danny gave us a great hike recommendation and Diane made us blueberry muffins. Thanks guys!

Danny & Diane were fabulous hosts. Nice, friendly, helpful. Diane baked us blueberry & blackberry muffins! The apartment was clean, there were more than enough blankets and towels. I loved watching the birds - so many varieties. Serena & Cocoa are the sweetest pets.

Danny and Diane were wonderful host. They were very kind and knowledgeable. Diane made us wonderful muffins and Danny shared his moose steaks with us. Diane and her friends were very warm and friendly. The pool was cool and refreshing. Nice location 30 miles from many places. Beautiful sunset and amazing star grazing. We loved it. Thanks for everything!

This is a great place to stay if you are looking for a quiet relaxing time. We visited after maine got 3 ft of snow and it was amazing. Our walkway, steps and porch were cleared off and the apartment is clean. We had a long drive to get there and we arrived late. We were greeted right away and we even got some fresh pork patties to cook up in The morning from Danny. The place had coffee and eggs ready for us when we got there. Danny and Diane are super nice and they were available for anything we needed but they also gave us plenty of privacy. I would definitely stay there again and would suggest it to other travelers.

Danny and Diane were excellent hosts. We felt welcomed since we arrived and enjoyed the pool immediately. The area is quite charming and there are excellent restaurants which are not far. We used the whole second floor and managed to make it work for us. The place was clean and the sheets and pillows were super comfortable. The best part of our stay was definitely enjoying Diane's yummy banana nut muffins. We have two kids 4 and 3, so we drove to Santa's Village which was 90 minutes away and the kids had a blast. My dad enjoyed a quiet study day and made good use of the pool. We couldn't have had a nicer Labor day weekend. Thank you so much Danny and Diane!

I hope this is helpful to someone reviewing this Airbnb location. 3 guests and myself stayed Friday-Sunday at Danny and Diane's location in Porter, ME. Immediately following the booking I noticed an identical listing on Airbnb for the same location. The price listed was much less than what I paid, so I quickly followed up with an email to the hosts inquiring about the discrepancies. Hosts responded with, " they have it listed 3 different ways" and that they recommended us renting the entire place. All 3 listing were for the same area/apt upstairs, above where the hosts reside. All ads refer to the "entire home" and I can't even imagine sharing that space with complete strangers. The only thing that would divide you from these strangers is a padlock on the door. Positives- Dan and Diane were very nice to speak with. They provided clean towels, a paper plate of their apparently famed blueberry muffins on Saturday morning and the apt appeared clean. Negatives- The AC in one of the rooms only blew air at temperatures of warm or hot, the freezer door wouldn't remain closed, the head of the kitchen faucet was busted, toilet wasn't always cooperating in flushing and overall the place needed much TLC. There's no taxi, uber or Lyft services available in Porter and you will have to drive about 30+ mins to get to an area with activities. Those things might not have seemed like such a big deal, but the most disappointing part of our stay was access to the pool. My friends and I chose this Airbnb over others because of their pictures of this inviting pool. On our way to ME we were informed from the host that "they would be having a gathering of friends, family and neighbor's from noon till whenever" and that we were welcome to join. We fortunately got lost and showed up after 10pm and all guests had left. The next day we had planned to stay at the pool if we couldn't find anything to do. By 10 am the block party was starting again and their guests were starting to show up. People were friendly, but we all felt very uncomfortable so we left. When we arrived back in late afternoon, the parking area was packed with cars and the pool area was filled. Their guests watched us as we walked upstairs and we all felt completely awkward, so we changed and left the house again. Overall, I think Danny and Diane are nice people but they should really maintain the rental. Also, they might want to consider not advertising the pool as a part of the experience , as it really isn't assessable when they choose to have block parties every weekend.

The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. They were quick to respond to our questions and seemed there to meet our every need but yet still allowing for privacy. We loved the place. It was rustic, clean, and comfortable. Sheets and blankets were so soft. The setting was peaceful and the pool was clean and refreshing and we had it all to ourselves. We were greeted with fresh berry muffins which were delicious!! If ever in the area we would stay there again.

My family and I loved this place. It was quiet and very cozy and comfortable. Diane and Danny baked fresh maine blueberry muffins for us as well and they were delicious. The pool was great and they were wonderful hosts. It is a bit of a drive from Portland but totally worth it.

Gretchen and Keith were great hosts. They were flexible and very friendly and made us feel like home. Their house is beautiful, relaxing and nicely decorated. I totally recommend this place.

Sunning location, lovely people, easy check in and check out. Brekky was lovely and the room was stunning. Definitely would stay here again!

I don't have much to say since we stayed only one night... Everything was as described and better. Gretchen and her husband were very nice. They prepared a very nice breakfast for the guests and created a very friendly environment. Ahh, I loved their hyper excited dog, too :) Cheers!

This was a wonderful place to stay! They were so welcoming and the house is in a quiet little neighborhood just outside of the town center. Very nice large front porch and a side porch where we were served breakfast. The room was great and an AC kept it nice and cool despite the 95 degree weather we had. I slept like a rock! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Such a great weekend at the Perkins House. Hosts are fantastic, and the home itself has been amazingly restored and has plenty of charm. Location also great - Cornish is a nice little town. I'm looking forward to staying again in the future.

Keith and Cheryl made us feel very welcome with their friendliness, helpful information about the area, and goodies for us to eat. The location was perfect. The space was wonderful. We would stay here again. Thank you for hosting us.

The Barn was an amazing place to stay! W were there for a wedding in Parsonsfield and there were 3 of us who stayed for 2 nights. By dumb luck we ended up very close to the rehearsal dinner venue so we knew that the area was safe and convenient! The space was more than large enough for us and was a great area to take pictures before the wedding! Only my boyfriend got to meet Cheryl, but based on our texts with them and how clean and wonderful the space was they are great people! There was even a deck of uno cards that kept us busy when it started raining! The location is very close to a small downtown area where we got to go into a few cute shops and antique stores and an apple orchard were we ended up with more apples and apple cider donuts than we needed. I would suggest this place to anyone who needs to be in the area, it was affordable and we got more than we would have at most hotels! We loved it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house is in great condition, perfect for a family stay. They even had interesting toys for my kid to play. You cannot find a place like this for the low price that they are offering, especially during the peak fall season. This place is just a 20-mile drive to North Conway, conveniently located close to many main attractions. We will come back again sometime. Thanks Keith & Cheryl !

Beautiful clean barn, where we could be on our own. Keith and Cheryl were very friendly and helpful. A good place to be in the countyside and make tours to Portland or the White Mountains. Greatly recommended.

This was my second time staying at The Barn, and I enjoyed it as much as my first time. It is so clean, and has everything one would need for a getaway in the country.

This was our first time using AIRBNB and we were absolutely 100% satisfied. Our host was waiting for us upon arrival, friendly, polite and made us feel welcome from the start. They were nice enough to have bottled water, strawberries and cheese and crackers for us. Once checked in we were given 100% privacy. The “Barn” guesthouse was immaculate, with all furnishing in new condition and comfortable. In comparison, we had stayed at a Days Inn a week ago and this was 100 times better. As this was our first time using the AIRBNB we were a little uncertain of how it would work, but the communication by Keith & Cheryl was excellent, answering our questions and putting us at ease. We would absolutely recommend this place.

The barn was a beautiful place to stay! Tidy, open concept and comfortable. The hosts kindly left us cheese, dessert, and fruit and answered all questions within minutes. It felt like a home away from home!

This was our first time using Airbnb and we were not disappointed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the guesthouse. It was impeccably clean and very comfortable. We were greeted with a warm welcome from Cheryl who gave us recommendations on places to eat and visit. Keith and Cheryl clearly go out of their way to make guests feel at home, providing snacks and an informational binder with local menus, etc. Our children enjoyed the games and dvds in the guesthouse. We would definitely stay again in the future.

Leah's home is quite, comfortable, and she is helpful and accommodating! Thank you Leah! We're looking forward to our next stay.

This was exactly what we were looking for in a place to stay during the Ossipee Valley Music Fest. It was close and convenient, comfortable, quiet and great for resting up at night for the next day. Everything was as accurately described and Leah was great in communicating all the important info. We particularly appreciated her flexibility when we wanted to shorten our stay by a day a couple months out.

I definitely enjoyed myself. It was the perfect size for 2 people and had everything we needed. The screened in porch became our favorite place to relax before settling in to bed every night. It was private and off the beaten path, but also the perfect distance from everything we wanted to do. The only thing I recommend is (if you go during the summer months) to bring bug spray! There is a pond not far from the property and the biting flies were insane (which is another reason we loved the screened in porch so much). You literally could not go outside without them swarming you! Leah was easy to communicate with and got back to me very quickly when I messaged her, but also didn't bother me with a million details. All in all, I recommend this place and had the best time.

This place is a wonderful retreat from civilization. It's almost like you're in living in a cabin in the woods, except the road to civilization is not three minutes away. At night, turn off the lights - it's a great stargazing experience. Also, I could while away hours at the pond looking for the frogs that reside there. Leah left detailed instructions on what to do around the area. I even met her mom when she came by to drop off some sheets. Service - top notch. Definitely a must-stay for anyone looking to get away from it all and just chill with nature.

Leah's home is set in a lovely spot....lots of land with trees and a pond filled with frogs! She had taken the time to leave us lots of helpful notes about where things were and her expectations for our stay. We could tell this was a special place for her family as there were lots of mementos around and it was obviously a place where they shared many wonderful memories. We hope others frequent this home as well, as it would really benefit from having windows opened more often to let the lovely outside air circulate within.This house was in a perfect location for us as we were attending a music festival 10 minutes away. We appreciate that Leah shared it with us!

Thank you Leah! As always, our stay at your home was very relaxing. And we enjoyed a fire in the cozy woodstove too!!

This place was exactly what I expexted. If you're looking to get away but with a little more comfort than camping this is your place other than the fact that you can't have a fire. The trailor was clean and well kept. Many family momentos made it feel more home like. The area is pretty quiet and isolated enough but with a convenient grocery store 10 mins away. Don't forget to bring your water though because the well water there isn't potable.

Leah was very easy to communicate with and our stay was hassle free.

Kevin's cabin is amazing! When you first walk in you see that it is spotless and beautiful. Both bedrooms are good size and the kitchen and living area are great to spend time together and play games, talk, or just hangout. The area around the cabin is very pretty and very quiet. This is a great place to go and unplug, relax, and enjoy some quality time with your closest friends

We had a great stay! Everything was accurate, the space was very clean and the view was beautiful with all of the fall foliage! It's a great place and very comfortable! We did lose service so we couldn't use out gps as we got closer but our hosts provided us with very helpful directions that were very easy to follow! They also gave us some good tips for our trip up there! All around a fantastic stay!

If you're looking for a place to get away and disconnect, this is it. Nestled in the woods down a long dirt road, you're surrounded by nothing but nature. Even GPS has issues finding it, but Kevin was great at providing us with clear directions. The cabin looks exactly like the pictures, beautiful and spotless. We found ourselves relaxing on the expansive deck and just taking in the quiet of the area. Highly recommended if you're looking to get away and unplug.

First thing was a bottle of pinot Grigio compliments of our host as well as biscuits for our dawg. Second thing was location I heard leaves fall and wind it honestly had been a while. The entire experience was a much needed. Very secluded very private.

We had a great experience here. The house was clean and just as described. There was 6 of us and we all fit perfectly. Very close to Shawnee Peak. Highly recommend!!

Great host. Great place... I would have appreciated the option to rent linen rather than to have to bring ours, but that was clearly stated in the description. Beside that it was perfect!

We absolutely loved our remote stay! Kevin and Jacqui were so helpful and kind leading up to and during our stay. The property is gorgeous with a lot of land to explore. Absolutely idyllic !

Our stay at Kevin's house was wonderful. Our family, including two dogs, visited over Labor Day weekend, and spent a couple days traveling around the Conway area and hiking - the house in Denmark was a great home base. The house was clean and cozy, and Kevin was extremely helpful with direction and other useful information. We would definitely recommend this place.

We had a fantastic time staying here. Brice was waiting for us on our arrival and was very thorough in showing us all of the numerous amenities the home had to offer. Everything was spotless, well apportioned, and welcoming. I cannot recommend this home highly enough. Hoping to stay here again next year!

We went for a 2-day trip in White Mountain and we voted that the house was the best part of the entire trip! The house was amazing - large, clean, well designed, impressive decorations. We had a wonderful time barbecue and relax and star gazing by the lake - the view was absolutely breathtaking! Brice and Christine were the kindest in the world, introduced the features of the house and prepared everything (including food in the fridge). We are already preparing to have another vacation there!!

All we can say is "ditto" to the previous reviews! Bruce and Christine's beautiful home was super roomy and comfortable for the five adults in our group. The house was incredibly clean and the kitchen was large enough to have several of us in it to prepare our meals. The setting of the house was fantastic and we enjoyed the lake view from the back patio every day. Kayaking and canoeing on the lake was restful and serene. Communication with Brice was quick and easy. All in all, we had a wonderful time!

The experience was wonderful. We had nothing to complaint about and definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs a getaway. We spent 2 full days there and didn't feel it was enough. 5 - 7 days is recommended in order to enjoy the beauty of the house and the lake. Brice is super helpful. He patiently answered all of our questions prior to booking, greeted us when we came and showed us around, as well as provided quick responses through text during our stay. He also checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our time and was flexible regarding check in/check out time. The house was exactly as described, clean and comfortable. This was a beautiful piece of art. I was amazed by the amount of work that was put into this house. We had 7 people and it was spacious to accommodate us all. The kitchen was fully equipped with cooking and dining supplies. The lake was gorgeous. We spent the majority of our day out on the porch and kayaking on the lake (Brice has 2 kayaks and 1 canoe). Also, we did lots of bbq and there was even a fire pit. There was a gazebo in the yard that we didn't get to experience, but it looked super cool. Overall, our stay was pleasant and exceeded our expectations.

Brice is an experienced and gracious host who is quick to address any questions or concerns you might have, both prior to booking and during your stay. It seems crazy to say this (because the photos of the place are beautiful) but they almost don't do it justice. It is easy to focus on the details, but the house is clearly put together with the "big picture" in mind of providing wonderful areas for relaxation. Our itinerary was full, but each day we were reluctant to leave, as we wanted to just enjoy the wonderful space. This was my first visit to this part of the country and I can't wait to come back again.

Great experience and location!! Very charming location full of amenities. The attention to detail and unique craftsmanship made the stay pleasant. Highly recommended for a relaxing weekend in Maine! I was pleasantly surprised. Very clean and plenty of space for a family.

This was our second visit to Brice and Christine's Brownfield house. Wonderful location on a scenic pond. Enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, and swimming. The house is fantastic, all sorts of interesting features/amenities. Well equipped kitchen. Great place for a family getaway!

We had a wonderful weekend at Brice and Christine's home in Brownfield. It was even more than we anticipated. The home is beautiful with incredible trim work, cabinetry and furnishings. I agree that the pictures can't even do it justice. The house sits on a quiet, secluded pond, where we were allowed to use three kayaks and one canoe. There was even a gazebo with electricity, screens and the most incredible hammock chairs, which were perfect for reading.

Great stay Danny and Diane where just the greatest hosts

Uhh...stay here. Seriously. I only have great things to say. I really wanted to propose to my girlfriend (now Fiancé!) on an adventure in Maine and asked our wonderful hosts if they wouldn't mind adding a bottle of champagne to my stay. They not only got the champagne, but when we arrived it was chilled on a decorative table with glasses, candles, and chocolates. The rooms were filled with fresh autumn roses, the bed covered with rose petals, chocolates by the pillows, even the toilet paper was folded in a little triangle! The presentation was incredible and just what I asked for, my Fiancé was blown away with the details. When I was coordinating my stay they also let me know that they had a wood-fire brick oven for pizza, and could provide a real Maine meal cooked "on rock!" I got a few groceries, and our hosts prepared rock slabs in the wood-fired pizza oven and served Kate & I an unforgettable UN-BE-LIEVABLE real Maine Surf n Turf... (mussels, salmon, local beef) We were actually served a meal on top of searing hot stone! If I had known about how great the hosts were, I would have booked a week. In fact, I plan to next year. There are two bedrooms that can be booked separately or you can book the whole unit. The rooms have a shared kitchen and bath and comfy feel. As far as location, it might be an hr from Portland, Old Orchard Beach, Wells, and Ogunquit but the stars are unbelievable in the quiet of the night! We wanted to get a Maine experience and didn't mind the drive. It was beautiful. In summary 1) Dan & Diane, thank you so very much. Kate & I are so grateful for your hospitality and your reception to making our stay just right. 2) Travelers seeking an authentic Maine experience...stay with Dan & (URL HIDDEN) sure to ask about the pizza oven and hot rocks! 3) If you have any questions about the stay I would love to share my experience with you. Shoot me a message!

Thank you Danny and Diane for a wonderful stay! The apartment in which we stayed was very clean and had everything you would need. There was food left for us in the fridge upon our arrival which was very appreciated! Danny and Diane are very welcoming and we spent the majority of the night talking with them around a fire, poolside. Danny made pizza for my brother and I which was super yummy! They shared their knowledge of the area and tried to accommodate us in every way possible. Thank you again for the great stay and I wish you two all the best!

Quiet, a nice slice of rural living!

Danny and Diane were the perfect hosts. We were made to feel extremely welcome throughout our stay

To future travelers, please read not only the description and reviews of this space but continue reading on to the owners other listings. They are all the same space listed 3 different ways. Hosts were wonderful and welcoming! Very kind and giving people and i highly recommend their space if you were looking for a place to sleep for a few nights or crash for a weekend on the slopes or day-hiking. The space is currently not recommended for long term stay as of spring 2017 due to the way the space might be shared with other people. I enjoyed the locations proximity to quite downtown Cornish!

I stayed here while traveling in the area for business. Commercial hotels are not easily found in this area. Danny was great about keeping in contact. I had a late check in, he was great about giving me directions. The "room" is a bed room and a full sized kitchen. Fridge was stocked with breakfast and coffee. I had a great working area to finish up my work for the day and get ready for the next one. Neighborhood is quiet. Could not have asked for a better place to stay!

I haven't stayed in bed until 9AM for years! Super cozy bed and the eggs and ham in the fridge was a great treat!!!!

Awesome place

Very nice place, near a beautiful lake, cozy living room. Two bedrooms with confortable beds. No internet connection at all for miles. Better to bring your own bed sheets.

The cabin was cozy and well stocked with a canoe to enjoy the fall colors in 80 degree September weather! Jay was friendly, the neighbors accommodation and the weekend wonderful!

We had a wonderful stay in this country cottage by the lake. Better than expected. In fact, we end up in a different house than what is showed in photos. But it was much bigger and very beautiful, well decorated. Also well equipped for cooking, gas stove etc. The neighbours are very welcoming. I would love to go back there soon. Didn't had time to enjoy the canoe. I strongly recommend this place. Jay was very quick on answering my questions everything went well.

We spent two nights in the cabin. Jay wasn't here when we arrived but he had a friend take care of the cabin before our arrival. We only met him briefly the 2nd day. The location is great: it's a 1 minute-walk to the lake. The cabin is spacious and you have everything you need (even movies and games). It needs a refreshment but it was fine. We recommend the place if you're looking for a spot to relax.

The place was as described clean, quiet and comfortable The host was very welcoming, and knowledgeable about local attractions and restaurants Excellent rate Chris and Dana

The house was the perfect getaway for us and our two friends. It was in a wonderful lakeside community, with a super friendly caretaker that stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. Jay was great and gave us a lot of great local recommendations. There was so much to do in the area and the surrounding towns, and not enough time! We enjoyed the movie library during a movie night, and we loved the long table for group meals. We hope to make it back soon! Thank you!!!

My family of four stayed at Jay's lake house right next to the red cabin. The house was small and lovely and right on the lake. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and Jay provided sheets, blankets, and pillows for us. It's the perfect place to stay if you want somewhere quiet. Jay also let us use his kayak and row boat and there is a dock in the water that you can swim to. His neighbor Barry was very kind and showed us around the whole neighborhood, where the small beach was, and the nearest grocery stores and attractions. He also brought us a coal grill that we could use to make kebabs and s'mores! We had a great time and would definitely recommend staying here! (Also- you're only about 25 minutes from North Conway and hiking!)

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of meeting Brad and Rebecca upon arrival at Stone Mountian House. They were delightful and welcoming. The accommodations were comfortable and clean. We will definitely stay here again. We loved it.

It was very spacious and clean. Bread welcomed us warmly even late check in when we arrived. If you get the chance to stay here, try to enjoy the sky interspersed with stars and Brad's fantastic birds.

Rebecca and Brad were very nice to us during our stay and very accommodating! We wish we were able to stay longer!

Excellent place, best hosts ever! They didn't have a TV in our apartment and it was the final game of the Red Sox to go to the World Series, so we missed a TV and had to listen to the game on the radio. Other than that, absolutely perfect, comfortable and very quiet.

The Stone Mountain House is very conveniently located right on the Main street of Brownfield. It was easy to find, and Brad welcomed us very professionally and kindly. We stayed at the top floor which was very spacious and comfortable. The only part that might have been less than perfect was the water pressure in the shower, but I think that is just how things are on the third floor of an older structure. In the morning Rebecca gave us directions to a great breakfast place in the near by town of Fryeburg, and from there it was a very short distance into the White Mountains. Overall a wonderful place to stay. I will definitely come back!

Stone mountain house was perfect for our group of 5. Rebecca greeted us and was super friendly. Beds were very comfortable and apartment was charming. We would definitely come back. Thanks for a great stay.

Wonderful hosts and very comfortable accommodations!

The apt we stayed in was perfect- and so sweet- we would be happy to stay there again!

We had a very comfy and relaxing stay over the Thanksgiving holiday. Plenty of room for 3 siblings and their family, the house was in good shape and had a lot of charm. We also enjoyed walking around the property, especially the 10 minute stroll down to the lake. Everyone agreed a warm-weather trip was in order! Rob, a neighbor and relation to the owner, turned on the heat for us before we arrived and came over late on Thanksgiving night to show us around. He was very nice and helpful in making sure we were all set up. It was also great hearing a little bit about the history of the house and area. One important note for cold-weather visitors. The fireplace and woodstove are off-limits, which was not entirely clear to us before we booked. Nevertheless, the house was very warm and cozy.

This rural retreat of a home is a special place. A hybrid of classic farmhouse architecture with comfortable appointments and attention to modern detail. My husband and I came up from New York to combine a gig at the Stone Mountain Arts Center with quiet time away from the city. We explored the property and area and were fully delighted with where we were. The house is lovely and cozy even though we were a party of two. Beautiful light streaming in from every perspective accentuated by a fresh blanket of snowfall. We were greeted by Kathy just after we arrived and made to feel completely comfortable in her ancestral home. We had a lovely time relaxing at Rebecca's place and venturing out in the region. A perfect way to welcome the new year. We hope to return and experience Porter during a new season.

My family had a very nice stay at Rebecca's home, the house is very unique and accommodating for large parties. The only thing (which wasnt a big issue for us) was that the beach/lake is actually like 10-15 minutes walk through the woods. Once there though, aboslutely beautiful!

We had a lovely peaceful time at this special place. Everything we needed was in the house and we had so much space. The location is beautiful and the lake is quite spectacular. We will definitely go again if we are in the region.

Bright beautiful house with a sprawling property. We had several memorable dinners outside on the lawn. We wish we could have stayed longer! Loved it!

This place is amazing, huge and on an unforgettable property. I don't think I've ever been in woods that are so evocative and cool! The hosts were the best they could possibly be and I give this my highest possible recommendation!!!

This cabin is the IDEAL cabin for a summer getaway. We had five people in the cabin, and there were more than enough bedrooms to choose from. The house was incredibly large and the kitchen was fully stocked for all of the cooking that we did. The cabin is in the middle of nowhere, which allows for a large and beautiful yard as a backdrop to nighttime grilling. The small beachfront area was amazing, with friendly neighbors stopping by on boat to say hello. Everyone had the best time, and every morning we all woke up so thrilled to be in such a wonderful place.

This place is special. So different from the cookie-cuttery of suburbia. In the morning the sweet smell of cut hay is refreshing and walking barefoot on this rustic ground grounds the soul that is bamboozled by the hectic lifestyle of modernity. Don't get me wrong. This rural getaway is wonderfully furnished and my five friends and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Some worked a little (can you believe that) and some cooked liver and onions on a gas stove. We loved it here! I am sure that you will love it here as well. Kudos to Rob and Kathy, owners of the place, for making this gem available for city folks like us.

Mike is an exceptional host and went out of his way to make our group feel welcome. Prior to the trip, he was very responsive to the many questions that I had, and he also provided a very helpful document that contained detailed instructions for everything that we needed access to. The property itself was everything we were hoping for -- quiet, tucked away from the rest of the world, and very peaceful. It was incredibly clean and well-maintained, and contained all the amenities that we needed. After a long day of hiking in the white mountains, it was the perfect place to come back to, cook a big meal in the fully equipped kitchen, and then relax in the outdoor hot tub under a sky full of stars! Mike has really thought of everything for the comfort of his guests, from having outdoor speakers for their sound system, to informational brochures for things to do in the area. It was the perfect size for 4 guests, but with an additional air bed, the house could easily accommodate two more guests. I would absolutely recommend staying in this wonderful home, and I hope to come back again and stay at this place in the future.

Phenomenal getaway. Great location, beautiful views! The house is very cozy and the hot tub was a great way to end a long day!

We stayed for 3 nights in Mike and Hanna's cabin. It was very relaxing and secluded although, we still felt safe as there were a couple of neighbors on the same road. They have everything you need for cooking, BBQ, board games, towels, linens, etc. The bed was comfortable and the hot tub was very relaxing. Conway is not too far away and it was fun to explore Freedom, the views were amazing! This is the place to stay if you want to get away from everything for a few days. We would like to come back in the future for sure!

Mike left detailed instructions with everything we could possibly need, and the daily sundries and amenities were really helpful to have shared (i.e. salt, coffee, olive oil). Mike was accessible for questions, and checked in with me before arrival. This was an excellent base from which to explore the region, and an extremely welcoming sight to come home to every evening. Cell service arriving was spotty (absolutely accessible from the house, but don't expect to be connected without interruption during your drive). As mentioned in other reviews, the place is much larger than the pictures portend, and every comfort was available.

Such a beautiful place in beautiful surroundings. Mike's place was perfect for a quite weekend in the mountains. The hot tub was a great end to the day. Such a great place!

A nice, quiet home away in the woods. it was a good place for a romantic weekend away in the White Mountains. I did accidentally damage one of the latches on the hot tub cover, which I offered to repair or replace. I haven't heard back from Mike about it yet.

This place was amazing! Secluded and peaceful. The home was immaculate and the host was more than helpful. Anytime i reached out with a question, they were responsive with an answer. I would def. go back and plan to in the future.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Mike's place for the weekend. We expected to arrive late Friday night so Mike graciously let us stay until sunday evening instead of the normal, earlier check out time. Everything in the house was exactly as it was described in the house manual, and any questions we had were easily answeres by the typed out house manual that was provided in the living room. The hot tub required no effort and was used alot throughout the weekend. We utilized the proximith of thenhouse to the mountains and went hiking saturday night, although the white mountains were actually farther than we expexted, so we opted for a smaller range about 45 minutes away, next to Lake Winnipesaukee. The area was beautiful and it was overall a wonderful weekend away from hectic city life!

We really loved our stay with Keith & Gretchen. Make sure to stay for more then one day, because it's a beautifull area and a really nice town. Keith & Gretchen are very friendly hosts, we went on several trips with them in the area. They really invited us into their lives. Their house is beautifull, with a really nice porch swing bed :). The restaurant Krista's, down the road is a really good place to meet people. There are lots of lakes to swim or kayak. And a drive-in movie theatre nearby. We really enjoyed it all together!

Beautiful place, quiet and elegant. Wonderful friendly hosts.

Gretchen and Keith were so warm, friendly and accommodating!!!

Gretchen and Keith stayed up late and gave us a very warm welcome when we arrived. They tried very hard to make us feel comfortable, and shared information about the house and surroundings. The town is lovely. We couldn't get cell phone connections or internet in the area, so it was tricky finding their home. Get the directions before you start out unless you have AT&T. The home is beautiful and we were made to feel very welcome. They went out of their way to accommodate our special dietary restrictions. The drive to Portland airport is about 40 - 45 min, but downtown Portland is about 55 min. It is a pretty drive. The house is not far from the White Mountains in New Hampshire. The stars are amazing in that dark sky!

Keith and Gretchen are so nice and this place is AMAZING! It's old and Keith told me all about the history and renovations they've done. Much of it is original, dating back to 1870. If you want value for money, make the effort to get to Cornish - the drive is beautiful and at the end of it this treat awaits you. My room had a four-poster bed and the old-style furniture makes it really homely and full of character. They also have a cute dog called Dolce who wants to play ALL the time. Adorable. I would definitely stay here again when in the area or close by. I think the rates they charge are pennies compared to what some of the accommodation in Portland costs, so it was worth the 45min drive.

We stayed for three nights, planning to travel to both Portland and white mountains. The location is just in the middle, convenient to reach to both. The house is newly renovated, vintage style, clean and cozy to stay. Loved the porch at the front door! Gretchen and Keith were really nice and considerate. We were warmly welcomed and well taken care of. And the breakfast Gretchen and Keith made were so good. Highly recommend. Hope to be back and stay soon.

We had a lovely time staying with Gretchen and Keith in their festive BnB. Our room was beautiful, and they were very accommodating to our arrival and needs.

New England charm and southern hospitality is a powerful combination that made for an amazingly wonderful experience. Gretchen and Keith have poured their heart and souls into in a newly renovated estate located in a quaint and trending Maine village. Every room, meal and conversation were delightful reflections of our hosts' skills and love for their new endeavor.
