VACASA property management disappoints, again
The is house is very quirky, but the living room and decks have amazing views. The bedroom with 6 beds has a ladder to it and not a full staircase. I had communicated in writing with Vacasa about this and they responded that it was a full staircase. We did not learn of the issue until we arrived at which point it was too late to make other lodging arrangements. Additionally, we had a maintenance issue that resulted in rain blowing into the living room and Vacasa would not address that with me either. The kitchen is old - the cooktop was rusted and all of the plates, cookware, etc. were very dirty so we had to wash everything that we used. The grill was very nice, though. I would also recommend an awd vehicle at a minimum as the driveway is dirt and narrow, and very steep inclines. I used a mid-size cadillac suv and my tires were slipping. I have never written a bad review of a home before but Vacasa has really fallen short with their customer service and the cleanliness and maintenance of this property.

what a gorgeous stay we had . The house is super fun and on a beautiful fall weekend, we were able to enjoy all the decks, the windows the light and the proximity to the beach. The house is unique and lovely, met our needs for space and was a great addition to a wonderful weekend in Maine.

Fall in Maine
The place was as pictured- isolated, quiet (wind and distant surf noises only), TREMENDOUS views. Stars!!! So many stars! The house is not brand new, but it is very comfortable and very accommodating if your goal is a quiet vacation.
The nearby Popham beach was delightful. If you’re looking for nightlife or restaurant dining, I suggest staying in Portland. If you’re looking for amazing sunrises and quiet family time, this is it. Day excursions are an easy do, but not needed.

Beautiful location and views but mediocre accommodation with some concerning issues
The location and views are wonderful, the house is spacious and we had a great time, but there were many things that weren't satisfactory, and two issues that were downright dangerous. The fireplace didn't work, living room rug had a lot of food crumbs and debris on it, kitchen was poor (many pans were dirty, not enough silverware for 12, kitchen drawers were filthy, there was no way to make ice--both refrigerator and stand-alone ice makers were broken, there were only 2 garbage bags, small kitchen table top was greasy and sticky). One of the refrigerators was plugged into an outlet that required the cord to run behind the sink where it was continually exposed to water. One of the beds was broken (we had to readjust slats so the mattress would stay on and the headboard was broken). Door handle to main deck fell off. Overall cleanliness of property was not thorough (piles of dust under/behind furniture). The biggest problem was that we didn't feel safe having anyone sleep upstairs, because there is NO SAFE EGRESS from that space. We had to have some people sleep on couches and on blow-up beds that we brought (thank goodness we brought them). The cushions for the outdoor furniture had all been left outside in the torrential rain so, we were very disappointed that we couldn't use the outdoor seating.

Scary House in the Woods with many problems
When we arrived we had not been sent instructions on how to get the key, didn't know if there was enough of a cell signal to make the call, there was just enough. After getting in the house we found out there was not any hot water, the maintenance man had to come by the next day to restart the boiler. We had to put a couch over the door to the porch to secure the door that could not be locked. One of the winds in the master bed room could not be closed. As for cleaning, there were cob webs in the kitchen, the sectional sofa in the living room had trash under the cushions and under the sofa. The fire place made a loud popping sound in-between fires so we shut it down.

Almost perfect
This is a comfortable house in a quiet, beautiful location. It needs some maintenance - not all windows function properly several appliances are very noisy, and there is a broken chair. It is also very buggy but fixing the windows and, I suggest, adding a screen to the upper deck door would probably help.

Great Location, great views, interesting house!
A very unusual house, as the pictures indicate. It's quite "out of the way", but if that's what you're looking for this is a fantastic place. Really enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean, everything in order (I just wish there was a great stereo to drive those Klipsch speakers in the Great Room!)

Family Stay inMaine
The house and site are spectacular. We really enjoyed it.
But it is showing it’s thirty years of wear and more upkeep should be done on a regular basis. The house was not super clean when we got there with dust and dead flies around. There was some confusion about the ice making machine, because the refrigerator one was broken, that a simple note could have explained. The trash had not been emptied when we arrived so our considerable trash was added to it and it didn’t all fit in the bins provided. Several of the windows were unusable, screens torn, and hooks falling out of the walls. There were not enough reading lamps in the bedrooms. That the only way to to children’s’ excellent bunk room was a ladder should have been explained in advance, but we only had one fall. In all, I would love to go there again as it is very near my brother’s house, but not unless things were kept up a little more. At the price charged it is no bargain. B. Bragdon

Windows for days!
My sisters and a few girlfriends stayed at this house for a weekend-in bachelorette party. It was a perfect stay during a time of covid, everything we needed was there and the space was open and airy with all the windows, plus two decks, one of which was shaded as the sun got hot. The views were enjoyable as well, overlooking a bay and the house high enough on a hill to witness a gorgeous sunset. Comfortable furniture too and gorgeous high ceiling in the family room. I look forward to going back with family and all the cousins, to enjoy the 8 beds on the 3rd floor loft- perfect for a brood of cousins to hang!

Nice house
We had a nice stay, but didn't like the property to the extent that we would likely go back. The great room and the deck have great views. The layout isn't fantastic. The furniture (couches/beds) and linens/bedding are ok, but starting to get a little old and dated. Popham State Beach is fantastic. It is close, but not that close. Unfortunately, there is nothing to the property other than the house, including no direct water access. The remote location and lack of property makes it a little more difficult to easily/quickly do things away from the house than one would like.

Glorious house
We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house. The only tiny issue is that because it is on such a remote hilltop, the water pressure is so weak that if someone is taking a shower, none of the faucets in the kitchen will turn on. But— once we coordinated our group to refrain from showering during meal prep times, it was totally fine. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
