Up to Maine (our old home) just for an overnight to bring our dog to be taken care of while we’re overseas. Email Confirmation for hotel didn’t include the code for our room door or what # or room was. No one at front desk-had to call provided # to get it sorted out & also pay for the dog being in room. But-individual we dealt with on phone was polite/helpful & got us finalized over the phone swiftly.

Not worth the price

Checking in there were hidden fees for an extra guest even if we added 3 people to reservation - I mean we booked a two bedroom house why would we not have more than 2 people? The bathroom floor was dirty, hair, dirt and dead bugs. No real shampoo or conditioner to use just weird packets. Check in was a little clunky. Screen was broken on porch. You could tell the place was recently renovated but hardly. Paint all over the place, broken frames on art, sand everywhere. All around a mid stay for a heavy price.

This place was the absolute hands down worst and filthiest place I’ve ever step foot on. Walking into the room was such an oppressive sensation that is hard to describe. It felt like sad and lonely to the point where upon examining the state of the actual guest room, and its levels of cleanliness, safety, and overall hygiene, we decided to book a completely separate accommodation for the evening as we were scared to even step foot back on the property itself. Also, the one staff member who was working was absolutely horrendous and incredibly dismissive and unhelpful. :( I wouldn’t let even the 21 year old version of myself stay at this property. I’m embarrassed and ashamed for them. Do yourself a favor, do not allow this place to be associated with Expedia whatsoever, and never encourage anybody to seek this out as an accommodation even if for a single night. Terrible. Not even half-star.

Urine stains on the bed

I found a very large urine stain on the mattress cover. Looking further, there were urine stains on other areas of the bed as well and what looked to be a small blood stain. It was absolutely disgusting!!

Cute, Mostly Clean, Dog Friendly

At check in, a new employee tried to charge me again for a room already paid in full. The cabin was better than expected and mostly clean. However, there was an old blood stain on one of the pillow cases and hair left in the shower. There are no surfaces or places to put anything down, especially in the bathroom. Very hard to get ready in the morning! No paper towels or kitchen towels so we had to use one from the bathroom. It was good for a 1 night stay, but I wouldn't stay for a full week. Dog friendly places are hard to find though so I do appreciate that and we liked having a cabin to ourselves and not being in a hotel room.

This is a great pet friendly central location to both Wells and Ogunquit. The room was clean, and the staff was really helpful. There is a nice pool and grills for BBQing.

Place had a quarter inch of dust on ceiling fan and slime from cleaning with a dirty rag on the fridge. Owner refused to refund money and has a kid running the office that has no authority to do anything and said basically to bad. Do yourself a favor and find a reputable establishment to stay

It was charming place. I wish we had ground level room instead of 2nd floor room as I'm not very good with stairs.

Generally clean, comfortable bed. Dirty air conditioner, porch light did not work. Very small place. Would not recommend for above average size people. Had to shift furniture so we could use basic features of the room. Maybe best for 1 person vs. 2 guests. No bath mat, no response to service card left for us to fill out and leave on the door. Selected this location because it had an outside pool. There was no mention when I booked that the pool was closed... Disappointed as we don't have a pool at home.

Sweet little room on second floor. The woman at check-in was very nice. There's a young man who works there as well-- he was working in one of the cottages and came out to help me get back into my room when my electronic key card wasn't opening the door. That issue was solved as well.

Overall it was good. Clean. The room could use a dresser, a full length mirror & the fan needed to be cleaned. The bathroom needs some updating. It was comfortable & cozy. Didn’t like it didn’t have regular tv. You have to log on to your own acct for Netflix etc…

NOT AS DESCRIBED!

We were not told this was a second floor…I have a back issue and we could not stay due to this. Had to look for a new room at late at night! The bed appeared harder than a brick and my bathroom at home was larger than this room and best combo. Called the property owner and she hung up on us.

It was fairly clean upon arrival. Pictures were a bit deceiving. Room booked online was not the room we had been given. But what I did have a problem with was the fact the fire detector was missing. And there was a chain in the door to lock and it was missing the bolt. Both of these should be easy fixes but had been overlooked. For a girls weekend away it would have made us feel more secure had those two things been taken care of.

Unable to securely lock the door at night.
