Freeport holiday house

My wife and I recently stayed here for one week with two friends. The house fits the description, is very clean and well-maintained, and has many wonderful points. The wrap-around deck facing the water (and small deck above, off corner bedroom) was fabulous, with a nice Adirondack chairs and two tables with folding umbrellas - perfect for morning coffee, whiling away an afternoon, or having an outdoor meal on nice evenings. Interior furnishings are all very nice; so many rentals often seem furnished with hand-me-downs - not here! In particular, 1st floor master is great. Kitchen/dining layout is excellent (half bath off kitchen a real plus), although for such a beautifully appointed kitchen (presumably for those that love to cook, like us!), there were strange gaps in what was provided (no measuring cup for liquids - we bought one and left it behind; only one rack in oven; no wooden/large spoons for stirring) - but these are very minor things in a fantastic space. The owner generously provides many other items (e.g. paper towels). The large garage was a great bonus, but be sure to park only small cars on the left side - curve of driveway is a bit tight, and could be very tricky to maneuver into/out of that side with large car/SUV. We didn't use the two smaller upstairs bedrooms, but they'd be perfect for kids; the bedroom with the deck facing the water is particularly nice. The upstairs master is huge, but could use an armoir or two (there's no closet). Pool table and kayaks: two thumbs up!! Overall, we'd definitely recommend this house to a friend.

A few minor issues: 1) if the outdoor grill runs out of gas (as it did the first time we tried to grill, before we could put our food on!), it is up to you to fill the tank at your own expense. Unless you grill out every night of the week, spending $20-30 for a single use (and financing the rest of the summer for other renters) is expecting a bit much; perhaps the owner could stock an extra filled propane tank (?); 2) instructions from the owner could perhaps be clearer regarding garbage/recycling (cans were outside and not marked; never sure if they were ours!). These are very minor items though, and easily remedied.

We have just spent our 2cd winter trip to the "Maine
Mutt Mansion" and we, my husband and I as well as
the most important family member out Brittany
Spaniel. Maggie loved every moment both time!

Our first winter trip in 2008 we loved watching the
tide come in and out and the Canadian geese come
close to shore...Maggie was sure she could catch
one, she never did LOL...

This year after a year of planning Maggie learned
that the bay can and does ice over and hence no
geese to try to catch! But we still had fun walking
in the woods, finding that mushroom grow on trees
in the snow, breathtaking sunsets, reading by the
fire and just relaxing... We cant say enough positive
good things about this house, if you have any
questions you want to ask a two time guest call or
email us.... Beth and Suzanne are the perfect host
who go above and beyond to make your vacation an
event you will talk about all year and look forward
to coming back to.... the Maine Mutt Mansion is our
home away from home in Maine! thanks again the
Landry family!

Well, our stay in June at this beautiful house was more than I could have asked for. This house was truly my dream house from top to bottom. Wonderfully kept, beautiful furnishings, quiet and peaceful setting, beautiful views...I could go on and on. Thanks for allowing us a wonderful week in your gorgeous home! Highly recommended!
