Our friends truly outdid themselves by booking the entire Harpswell Inn for our 4th of July…read morereunion, and I find myself incredibly lucky, feeling like the gods were smiling down on us! It was the most perfect setting for a fun, kid, and dog-friendly celebration at the breathtaking Harpswell Lookout Point. At one point, as I was simply sitting in a rocking chair, gazing at the magnificent sea view, with birds chirping, kids' laughter echoing, and my dog peacefully by my side, I honestly felt like I was in a real-life "Calm Soundscape" - pure heaven. Harpswell Inn is truly a magical place. The lovely young couple who took over a few years ago have done an exceptional job preserving the traditional 1800s Maine vibe of the house while infusing it with modern, fun, and funky furniture. The staff, though a small and dedicated team, were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I must give a special shout-out to Barbara, a true Harpswellonian, whose blueberry scones are absolutely divine! I even had a delightful small-town moment running into her aunt at the local Hannaford's in Brunswick. The thoughtful owners also provided a delicious continental breakfast, featuring locally roasted coffee, and offered kayaks and paddleboards for the more adventurous members of our group to enjoy. Our friends also inquired with Kelsey, the owner, about hosting a private chef for a special three-course meal. Kelsey went above and beyond, creating a gorgeous tablescape adorned with local flowers. She collaborated with a local private chef who focused on sourcing everything locally. Our culinary journey began with fresh oysters featuring traditional fixings and an amazing yuzu orange sauce, alongside a gorgeous cheeseboard as appetizers. Our three-course meal then commenced with a delightful tuna tartare salad with fried capers, followed by perfectly cooked NY Strip steak with garlicky chimichurri sauce, huge, delicious scallops, and incredible focaccia bread. The meal concluded with a delightful and refreshing key lime pie. The owners were also kind enough to arrange a separate, equally delicious meal for the kids, featuring a fun crunchy salad, mac and cheese, and brownie bites (yes, I tried it all!). If I could convince our group of friends to make this an annual tradition, and we could secure our spot early enough with the kind owners, I would absolutely make Harpswell Inn our go-to destination every 4th of July. Thank you, Kelsey, John, and Archer, for being such lovely and gracious hosts. We can't wait to return!

Roadtrip thru Maine, the New England area is known beautiful scenery and of course fresh seafood!…read moreUnfortunately the lodging is expensive and you really have to research before booking. I booked this hotel on booking.com for a one night stop over. The reviews were descent for the most part, honestly I took a chance. Once inside the place smelt fishy in the lobby. The place looked old and run down, in need of refurbishing. Our room was old, dead bugs on lamps, floor, stains on wall, curtains soiled, toilet wouldn't flush, sinks- bathtubs stained, hair in bed and bedding dirty. They haven't vacuumed I'm assuming in months. The place was disgusting. This area is very expensive, $220 per night. Yes, I went straight to the front desk with the issues, the lady was nice and apologized. This was a huge inconvenience to my family, we had a long travel day. But from now on if a hotel doesn't have a solid 5*on Yelp or a solid 9 or 10 on booking.com I will never spend my hard earned money. *Some people don't need to be in the hospitality industry period. Integrity and good customer service need to be number one for a successful business. Tip: I will be staying in a RV at a campsite in the near future, much cleaner. I'm sick of spending money on filthy hotel rooms in the USA. Personally since Covid things have gotten worse with businesses everywhere. No excuses when it comes to my money and time. Again all this for $220.73

Since the pandemic started, I've been trying to support as many family owned businesses as I can. This B&B You can make a reservation via their website, which was very easy to navigate. We arrived late and checked ourselves in as the owners had gone to bed, but our room was marked with a welcome note. Linda was very responsive over email and gave instructions on how to find our room and where to find towels and the bathroom. Although our room came with a shared bath, we were the only guests so didn't have to share. The room was warm and the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and spacious. Clean towels are in the linen closet in the bathroom. We had breakfast at 9 and were blown away by the extravagant spread Linda prepared: good coffee, juice, banana nut bread, english muffins, fresh fruit, granola and yogurt, and deviled eggs! Wow. The real stars of the show are Linda and Jim - they are so kind and friendly, and a perfect example of Maine hospitality. We traded stories with Jim and got to know them a little bit, and spent some time petting the two cats as well. We only stayed one night but we'll be back soon. You just can't get this kind of experience at a hotel or Airbnb -- I cannot recommend Fleetwood House B&B enough!

When I arrived, the living room was on the right-there were cat toys all over the floor and the large couches were covered obviously for the cat. There was a note that said don't let the cat out while we never saw the cat, I smelled cat urine and there was cat food at the front door. The room they wanted us to stay in was dirty. All the windowsills were dirty. The armoire had dirt and dust and all the corners and the bathroom shower was dirty on the bottom and up and down the sides there was grunge dirt and in the in between the glass doors and the shower and the shower walls. The owner, an elderly lady also greeted us WITHOUT SHOES ON...if one looks hard enough, these problems (except the bare feet) have been experienced by others. The property is clearly rundown. The problem is that most of the websites use old pictures...we snapped a few as we left without staying, despite the cost of doing so. The smell of urine and the lack of cleanliness were unacceptable. So, look closely before you book. Others have had similar experiences.

Nice self catered suite space in a quiet neighborhood on the East End…read more The space is very well designed. I loved the courtyard, the fridge, the pour over coffee/electric kettle set up. Pros: pretty courtyard, beautifully decorated, amazing amenities, huge lovely shower, comfy bed, sliding barn door separating the bathroom, keyless entry, responsive owner/host via text. Cons: street parking only, which can be an issue, and the noise level from guests in adjoining rooms. Sadly I think we were next to the family room, and the party next door had unruly kids that were loud and we heard lots of running, banging and noise, which was frustrating, especially since it is in an otherwise quiet/secluded area and has a very upscale boutique feel which wouldn't seem to attract larger groups. I couldn't tell if they were next to/above us/or both. It was annoying. The neighborhood was cute and some new businesses/food/coffee restos, But I felt it was a tad overpriced at $345/nite once you included the $75 cleaning fee and tax, especially since it's pretty far from downtown. However we realized Portland is actually very VERY expensive!
