#### Comfortable river farmhouse.

Home was attractively decorated and pleasant. . Bedding and furniture were comfortable. Location was ok, very close to the road and river grasses. It was a convenient midcoast location on a very pretty road. The rent was appropriate for the property.

The home is quaint and comfortable. The water views were nice to have during the day while working. The bed and linens were comfortable. The rooms were larger than expected. I enjoyed my stay.
