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!

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

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.

AWESOME PLACE, EXTREMELY CLEAN, GREAT LOCATION, GREAT HOSTS
This is an awesome place! Lynn has set this up so very nice. Her decorating touches are amazing. Her attention to detail with everything you need in the kitchen to the very nice quality sheets, towels, bath/shower supplies is amazing. She thought of everything - she left us wine, beer, cheese, crackers, eggs, pancake mix, milk, creamer, coffee, sugar, Maine syrup and Maine blueberry jam - everything we needed to kick back and enjoy our first afternoon and also our first morning. The location is great - the water with a deck is a very short walk (couple houses) and the beautiful beach is a short walk the other direction. We received many tips from Lynn and Joe about the area and places to eat and hike and sightsee. They are really wonderful hosts. Even though the apartment is over their garage, it feels very private and comes with a designated parking space so no one is anyone's way. There is also a deck off the apartment with chairs and table and gas grill that is private. The kitchen is literally equipped with everything you need - including nice spices . I can't say enough nice things about Lynn and Joe's place. We were there in late fall so didn't use any of the summer things that they have available (beach chairs, wagon, cooler). Lynn thought of everything! Even though we were there at the end of the season, Captain Joe still took us out on his great 27 foot Albin boat for a cruise. He picked a great day and we had a great time.

Our stay at Drifting Inn
Lynn and Joe were wonderful hosts and are very thoughtful. The house was immaculate, and every little thing was thought of from the breakfast food in the fridge to the toothpaste and toothbrushes in the bathroom. All the beach amenities (chairs, umbrella, towels even a wagon to carry them to the beach) were there for our convenience. There were many restaurants, a small grocery store, an ice cream shop and some art/pottery galleries close to where we stayed. Also a plethora of hiking spots. Joe took us for a boat ride around Casco Bay in his boat and told us a lot about the history of the area. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend Drifting Inn wholeheartedly!

Truly Perfect Stay
My husband and I enjoyed our week at Drifting In very much. Lynn and Joe are great hosts! Lynn thought of everything to make a home away from home and then she went further for a perfect touch. She truly has thought of everything for a quiet and relaxing stay. You smell her commitment to cleaning practices the moment you walk in the door. It is obvious with the fresh, clean air. The deck was enjoyed each morning for coffee and the evenings were nice with the soft lighting along privacy cover. A very cozy place to relax and listen to the birds while there. Harpswell is a beautiful setting and the town's people are very friendly. We took advantage of outdoor activities, such as hiking, birding, and boating. It has several eateries and fresh seafood close by and Brunswick is just a few minutes away. We liked the area for the tranquility, far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Portland and Boothbay, yet close enough if we wanted to go. I highly recommend Drifting In. It is on my best list of VRBO's.

Just Right
The property is in an ideal location. You can walk right down to the cove, sit on the back deck and enjoy the breezes and really relax. It is quiet and clean. "Nice and cozy". Also, being very close to a couple of peninsula points (Potts Point and Stovers Point) you can really lose yourself in the tranquility. Great seafood establishments (Allens Seafood for Lobsters) among many other very accessible places. Quick 11 mile ride to Brunswick and Rts. 1 and 295. And the owners REALLY respect your privacy. Many extras as well. They set you up for the first day or so. Shop for food after checking in, you won't need anything until the next day for sure. Very Happy with our experience. Would love to stay there again.

The actual renting was a breeze. Nothing prepared us for the beauty of the property. Every amenity was available. We tried to find something, anything that was missing…but we failed. If we needed something it was at our fingertips. Our hosts were warm and welcoming. The area was the perfect hub for our day trips.

Relaxed Seaside Get Away
We just loved staying at the Drifting In and will definitely be back! Lynn and Joe were wonderful hosts and took us on a memorable cruise around the islands on their boat, which really made our stay special. The cottage is beautiful with hardwood finishes, skylights, and a thoughtful seaside decor that is so cozy and relaxing. The kitchen is well appointed and there are so many little details to enjoy, like a rolling tote and beach chairs to bring to the beach that is just down the road. We enjoyed a beautiful hike, gorgeous views on the quiet beaches, ice cream and gift shops, brunch at Schoolhouse 1913, as well as shopping at the black sheep wine shop and vegetable corner for making dinner at home to enjoy on the deck overlooking the historic Cribstone bridge. Overall a wonderful vacation and we look forward to coming back again soon!

From the wonderful outdoor deck/grilling space to the well appointed kitchen, the comfortable beds and linens, the bathroom with its walk-in shower (including a rain head and hand held) and thick fluffy towels are above and beyond what most expect in a VRBO vacation rental.

Absolute Oasis
Another reviewer may have already said this but as lovely as Drifting In looks in the listing photos, they really don't do the place justice. It's incredibly charming and full of character (not to mention clean), decorated largely with pieces from local artists. But I think what isn't fully clear from the pics is how ingeniously designed it is. It feels much bigger than its square footage, there is more storage than we've had in much larger rentals, and it is better stocked than anywhere else we've stayed. In addition to the little luxuries Lynn and Joe provide (robes, slippers, wine, cheese, beer, more) at least three times, I thought "there's no way they'll have xxx" and they did! The location is very private and quiet, but within 20 minutes of anything you could possible need. You're surrounded by flowers, trees, and birdsong, with a view of the sound and Cribstone Bridge as a bonus. Lynn and Joe are wonderful, thoughtful hosts. They gave us a magical boat tour of the islands that was a highlight of a fabulous stay. We hope to be back soon!

Superlative stay in Harpswell
Lynn and Joe are most gracious hosts. The apartment was beautifully designed and outfitted. Every amenity that could be imagined was provided (Robes, slippers, refrigerator stocked with eggs, cheese, Maine jam, and Ales, coffee and tea). The two bedrooms ( one of which is a loft) were large and well appointed, with comfortable mattresses. The bathroom had a wonderful walk in shower (including a rain shower feature) and was stocked with toiletries. Cleaning products used in the apartment were environmentally sound, free of harsh chemicals. We had a couple of minor questions come up and Lynn responded to messages promptly. Since the apartment is located on their property, adjacent to their house, we were also able to meet and talk to them a couple of times and enjoyed that very much. There was a varied selection of books on the area and the state. We always looked forward to returning to our lovely home away from home. Water views are included, in a quiet, walkable neighborhood. We felt very fortunate to be at Drifting In and will hopefully be able to stay there again. It earns our highest recommendation. Thanks, Lynn and Joe, for sharing Drifting In with us.

Lynn & Joe have thought through every detail for comfort. We appreciated the “things to do” list - hikes, where to eat, activities and more. The kitchen was well stocked and there were a few surprises - delicious ones. The location is perfect - steps to the ocean and some ocean views from the property as well. The home inside is welcoming with nature all around. Joe took us on the water on his boat - a 2 hour tour of the nearby islands and landmarks on a beautiful Sunday. He was full of information and the history - showing us Adm Peary's home, the submarine lookouts and the coves full of lobster boats. We had a delightful time full of great sights, weather and conversation. He also recommended we visit the Maritime Museum in Bath. We visited it not once but twice. Overall this home in Harpswell has a home away from home feel. In a town that is low in hype but one of our better stays. We are coming back in 2022. Thanks Lynn & Joe.

This is the third time we've stayed here, needless to say we love it. It is a comfortable apartment above a garage. Lynn has taken care of everything you'll need, thoughtfully considered... plus extra yummies laid out upon your arrival. Even a pitcher of deliciously cold spring water, or a bottle of wine. One of my favs is the washer and dryer. I'm spoiled having that available in the apartment. Joe will give you a wonderful tour of the local coastline in his boat. They're very quick to take care of any needs you may have, responding within minutes. We needed a peeler for carrots and Joe appeared immediately with one. Wow! Please don't hesitate to choose to stay here. It's a 20 minute ride into town, so prepare for that, but it's a small thing compared with not having to be around the hustle and bustle of the busy Maine tourist season during your down-time. To my husband and I, a gold star to Lynn and Joe!

Wonderful place, great owners and beautiful location
Joe and Lynn have a great spot in Harpswell— easy to get to, quick 2 min walk to beach which looks over to Baileys Island. Joe and Lynn are very welcoming and know just how to make you feel at home. They anticipate every need — from beach towels and chairs to cheese, crackers and wine left in the well stocked kitchen for you, as well as things like eggs, milk and coffee to ensure you don’t have the stress of going to the grocery store right away. The place is perfect for a couple and it does have a loft with a second bedroom. Just be mindful that the stairs are steep and narrow. It has a nice balcony where you can enjoy a bit of a view of the ocean. Bedding was super comfortable, towels were soft and the furnishings chosen with care. Can’t go wrong staying here! Make sure you have ice cream from Pammy’s and blueberry muffins from the Dolphin.

10/10 Excellent

Immaculate, well-designed, apartment near the bay
Lynn and Joe couldn't have been better hosts. They provided every amenity you might need: coffee, pancakes, wine, cheese and crackers, beer, jam and even toothpaste (which came in handy considering we forgot to bring our own). The apartment was beautifully decorated and functional. The towels and linens were plush. And the private back deck was roomy, providing spaces to sit and grill. We've stayed at many AirBnbs and Home Away lodgings around the world and this was one of the best. We look forward to returning.

We will be back!
We had such a wonderful and relaxing time at the Drifting In. The cottage was perfect. We had all the space we needed and all the comforts of home (and then some). You can see the ocean from the bedroom and sleep with the ocean breeze. Joe and Lynn decorated the cottage beautifully. We felt like we were in a spa when we walked in the bedroom to find robes, slippers and bundles of eucalyptus. They stocked the fridge with treats, eggs, milk, butter, cheese, beer and wine. With so many windows and lush greenery, it felt like we were in a luxury tree house spa on the shore! Ocean access a few steps away and close to beaches. We especially loved the boat trip around Harpswell and the islands with Joe! Listen to all the reviews and book your stay at Drifting In!
