Other Things to Note:
The house was originally built in the 1880s and later expanded and modernized in recent years.
The stairs to the second floor are steep, as was typical of 19th century farmhouses. Be careful on the way up to the upstairs.
The second floor bedrooms and bathroom have sloped ceilings so taller guests should take care.
The pool is open seasonally from June until early September. Please note that exact dates may vary based on temperatures.
Air Conditioning is through the three window units downstairs, and the upstairs bedrooms have portable air conditioners for your use.
There are two separate thermostats in the house, these will only provide heat. The one in the larger kitchen is for the downstairs unit. The one in the second bedroom is for the living/dining area downstairs. There are no heat vents in the upstairs bedrooms, but the house has extra blankets for the cooler Maine summer nights.
Note that the garage, basement, attic and outdoor shed spaces are off limits to guests.
