Cozy little spot
Lovely little spot close to Thomas College. Nice decor, plenty of space and room for a family of 4. The apartment has everything you need along with seasonal decor and extra pillows! We will be back!

Cute and comfortable that had everything we would want or need. Enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen and a heater to take the chill off of the 50 degree outside temperatures!

Very quiet, relaxing and comfortable. Clean, beautifully decorated and beds were comfortable. Has everything you could possibly need. Owner is great and quick to respond to all questions. Welcomed our little dog. As it is a second floor apartment, someone with mobility issues may find the stairs challenging. We had a very nice stay. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

Escape for Music Camp
We stayed here instead of the dorms at Colby College and were so glad we did! Shawna really thought of everything with this apartment. It was very clean, and the decor was super boho chic. We loved being able to see the chickens in the yard and the AC to beat the Maine heatwave! The apartment is very spacious and well thought out. We hope to be back again for next year’s camp!

Very poor entrance to apartment. Stairs were treacherous!!! Entered into a cluttered garage with insulation and pipes exposed all the way up stairs. Not sure if stairs meet code but doubt it. Furniture was very uncomfortable and had to use pillows on couch to set on. Not enough counter space in kitchen. Good thing we ate out. Microwave was on top of refrigerator which was difficult to reach. No toaster. Bathroom was off kitchen not close to bedrooms. Spiders everywhere. Pictures in ad were very misleading. Not sure how this got excellent review. Will not stay again!!! Host left next day after arrival for vacation leaving us no phone number just email in case of a problem.
