    Drifting In Stay
    We had a wonderful stay with gracious hospitality, in an amazing accommodation! Joe and Lynn thought of everything one might need to accommodate us during our stay. The steps up were a challenge for older joints but so very worth the effort enhanced by views of the cribstone bridge and lovely oceanside decor!

    Private, cozy, perfect escape!
    Our hosts, Joe and Lynn, were extremely helpful in filling us in on places of interest in Maine that we were not aware of (Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and the Maine Maritime Museum for a start!). Communication was excellent prior, during, and afterwards, plus all the privacy you could ask for. There is wi-fi at your fingertips and wonderful welcome treats of wine, cheese, local maple syrup, IPA beer, and essentials of eggs, milk, and butter . There are all the beach essentials you might need to spend a day on the beach as well. They did not forget anything! Did I mention it was really clean and the bed was amazingly comfortable? Don’t miss this chance to relax and explore Maine in this wonderful place. We would recommend this to everyone and would return without a question. Thank you Joe and Lynn!!

    Wonderful Stay with Fantastic Hosts
    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with a 1 week stay at Lynn and Joe's rental. Every bit of it was perfect. The location was quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Yet, within about 30 minutes of a number of places (Bath, Bailey Island, Brunswick, Freeport) to visit for sights, history, or trails and beach. Of course, the lobster and fresh fish were excellent. But, Lynn and Joe's hospitality and kind touches to welcome their visitors is beyond any rentals we have ever stayed in. The cruise that Joe provided was so nice - informative, beautiful and relaxing. The welcome gifts of food is really nice when coming in from a distance without time to get to the store before checking in. So many good places to eat, close by, or short drives. Even though you stay above the garage, there is no noise. A good number of stairs to be aware that you need to use to enter, but that should be no surprise, as you know you are staying on the top level of the building. The week was one that we will always remember with nothing but great thoughts about Joe and Lynn's rental, and that area of Maine. Thanks so much, Joe and Lynn!

    Extraordinary
    The place was just wonderful. All of the coastal decorations and attention to detail to make our stay so pleasurable were really outstanding: the local snacks, the bathrobes, the extra towels, the beautiful dishes, the boat ride, and just the hosts genuine kindness and so much more…

    Delighted with Drifting In
    We were delighted with Drifting In as soon as we walked through the door. Everything is clean, comfortable, exceptionally well maintained, and uniquely decorated. We were immediately impressed by the attention to detail and decorative skill that went into each room. There is complete privacy at Drifting In. It is a single rental facility, located above a detached garage. Lynn and Joe live in their house next door. They are a delightful couple and attentive hosts. A special highlight included in our stay was Joe’s one-and-a-half-hour boat tour around the neighboring islands. If you really want to appreciate the Maine coast, you need to see it by boat and not just on the land. The location is excellent. It is near the end of Rte. 123. When you go out of the driveway and turn right you will have an ocean side bench seat within three hundred feet with a view across the bay toward the Cribstone Bridge (only one of its kind in the world). When you go left, you can walk the road for a half mile and be at Stover’s Point Reserve beach overlooking the harbor. There are many other preserves with walking trails. We liked this Rte. 123 side of Harpswell since it is more rural than the Rte. 24 peninsula across the bay, also part of Harpswell, which is more heavily developed. Brunswick is only a twenty-five-minute drive on Rte123 for groceries, visiting Bowdoin College, museums, restaurants, AMTRACK, and the Maine State Music Theatre. John & Debbie

    Great place & great hosts!
    Lynn and Joe have an absolutely beautiful guest house in an absolutely beautiful corner of the world. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, answer questions about local events and history, and the guest house lacked nothing. As an amateur gardener, I was also impressed with the wonderful plantings around the property, and the amazing meadow that they created. We (all three of us) would love to come back again.
