Perfect honeymoon

My husband and I decided to honeymoon to this lovely get-away in Maine and it did NOT disappoint!! We stayed in the new Nautilus Floating House and it was a dream to wake up to breathtaking views from our bed every morning. Hiking, swimming, and canoeing filled our day with fun. Kent and Heather were amazing hosts that made sure our stay was top notch. If you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful, vacation, you’ve found it!!

Incredible! Made for one very special honeymoon

My wife and I spent some time here during our honeymoon and it surely made it a trip to remember. Everything about this experience was unique in its own regard and we left with plenty of awesome stories to tell. From the ferry to the furry welcoming committee, other kind guests we met staying on the island to the awesome and extremely helpful hosts, this was an incredible experience we recommend to anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Heck, we almost didn't want to write this review because we kind of wish it was our own little secret. Thank you for your hospitality Kent and Heather 😊

The most relaxing and romantic weekend with my husband, thank you!!

The Nautilus provided my husband and I the exact relaxing weekend I needed - away from the noise of our town, our kids, our dogs, and everything in between. It was just me and him loving the lake life and all the beautiful surroundings it had to offer. Our hosts offered such a wonderful experience, I recommend this to anyone and everyone looking to get away for a few days and enjoy getting back to your nature roots. 10/10!!! Thank you so much Kent & company for such a unique and beautiful experience.

Sweet, Simple, Summer Bliss

We had the most amazing time staying at the Nautilus. Kent was a generous, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic host who made sure that we had everything we needed for a successful getaway. We were even able to check-in early and enjoy the Nautilus for a few bonus hours. We are so grateful! This summer has been a fast-paced and hectic one, and this trip offered us the opportunity to slow down, look around, and be totally present against the most beautiful natural backdrop. We swam, canoed, grilled, played lots of cards, and had the most special time. We will be back, most definitely!

1BSI is a slice of paradise

1BSI is by far one of our favorite places to stay in the world. Beautiful, calm, disconnected, and convenient. Kent covers all the basics and makes the entire process extremely easy. Just pack your essentials and a good attitude! This is our second visit, but it definitely won’t be our last!
