Guest Reviews

On the Water in Maine was responsive and has excellent customer service!

The Workshop is convenient to Camden and quick bike rides into Rockport. The house is rugged, but just right for a relaxing get away. There is only one shower which might be a challenge, depending on how many people you have stay with you. But we had a fabulous time and enjoyed the access to the water, listening to the waves, and visiting the surrounding towns immensely.

We really liked the ease of the check in and check out process. The community of Bayside was perfect! Quiet, friendly, and relatively close to everything we wanted to do. Thanks for a great experience.

On the Water in Maine was a great company to book travel with! They made it very easy and kept us informed every step of the way.

Awesome cottage! Loved the porch and the fireplace on the beach. We used the fireplace almost every night. Compass Rose is strategically located between Bangor, Rockland, and Acadia National Park. Everything we wanted to see was within an hours drive. Loved how calm this place was.

On the Water in Maine was very responsive and good to work with.

GUEST COMMENTS: The views and location were great...but we didn't realize this guest house is just feet from the main, occupied house. We felt like we were trespassing at someone's home and an unwelcome guest. A few days into our stay we got a map showing the red zone we were not allowed to go into and the blue zone we were permitted to use. Not very friendly. The whole point of us renting a house with a yard is so our kids could run and play outside. Also the furniture needs to be replaced. The couches were dirty, the beds were worn and lumpy and there was water damage in one room with an odd odor. The washer/dryer was in the basement and difficult to access. ON THE WATER IN MAINE COMMENTS: The name of this property, as we advertise it, is the "Springbrook Hill Guest House". As the name says, the property is a Guest House on an estate. We ask all our Guests, as part of the rental agreement, to review the satellite image of the property - which these Guests initialed that they had. We believe the satellite map we provide is quite clear that this "Guest House" is indeed on an estate and feel that a map showing the layout of the property is appropriate, since the whole estate isn't being offered for rent. The Guest House has gone through extensive updates over the past 3 years including a new kitchen 2 years ago - and despite that, the rent has not gone up. Still, we welcome this Guest's feedback and have shared it with the Property Owner to see where improvements can be made.

Great kitchen, porch was nice, great spot for a fireplace.

Very impressed at the follow through contacts from On the Water in Maine as our June vacation approached!

Stayed at Lincoln Lookout June 12-19. A wonderful experience; the house was so clean, I was amazed! And it was very well stocked with furniture, kitchen stuff etc., not a rental type house but a home! The view was terrific, it was very private-- nothing negative to say! Thank you.

The staff from On the Water in Maine is just right up the road and can respond quickly to any needs.

Beautiful home with a view! The property was amazing and we had a wonderful time. Unlike staying in a hotel, the entire family has the ability to have their own space, and time to themselves. Kids had a blast with the numerous variety of board games. The moonrise over the water was spectacular at night.

This was our 2nd rental with On the Water in Maine so far - we have found them to be very helpful and easy to work with

Absolutely fabulous coming all the way from England and having stayed in rental homes all my life this one rates at the top of my list. Gem littleton ma Jo and stu Charlesworth: this is our fifth rental home in mid maine and the north cottage is by far the best. Hilights were the house amenities and upgrades comfy beds and quality throughout to say nothing of the views and gardens. Could go on forever but won't bore you. Pls let us know when we can book for next year. Thank you!

Always a good experience with On the Water in Maine. Had a (minor) problem with the oven. You responded in record time. That shows your attentiveness to renter's needs.

Great place - loved the newness of everything. All the amenities you could ask for.

The property presented as advertised and we always received a prompt response to any questions we had to On the Water in Maine.

We loved the large deck with ocean views and the very quiet and peaceful nature of the location.

This is the first time I had booked a cottage--as well as online. The staff at On the Water in Maine was extremely helpful from the time we booked it, through the entire process. They kept me informed about all I needed to know to prepare for the trip and to locate the house. We had no issues at all while at the property.

The location of this property was amazing. I can't imagine a better site for a home. We would sit in the yard everyday and just enjoy the view. The cottage was situated on a large private piece of land. It was very relaxing. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable for two couples. The views from inside the house were just as stunning as those from outside.

The property managers at On the Water in Maine were very responsive to our needs and requests. Even though we had some problems with the property the first few days, all were eventually taken care of.

The location and views are amazing! We loved the spaciousness of the house and the ample seating in the living room and dining room. The kitchen was well-equipped and the deck was wonderful. We loved being able to watch the loons diving out in the water.

We had no problems at all at check in or check out with On the Water in Maine. Ben was great to work with. They also where able to mail us left personal items back home to us.

Just like looms, location, location, location. One of our favorite features was definitely the pond, we couldn't stay off the water, from fishing to just sitting on the dock at nights. A huge plus for our family was all the supplies that we found in the home (spices, lobster dishes, bags, and foil) making it very convent to cook without having to think about the little things you might need.

On the Water in Maine - all aspects are top notch! The folks are always keeping us updated on our status of what we need to do and when. The staff is easy to work with - friendly and very professional. Keep up the great work!

Location, location, location! Our stay could not have been better. The view of the water was outstanding and the seclusion in the woods was wonderful! The sunrises were spectacular and it was fun to watch the dolphin, seal and lobster boats from the deck. The amenities truly met our expectations. Linens were fresh, good quality, the bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked! The owners did a great job putting the extra touches on their home that they so graciously share with others! Thanks for helping us celebrate our retirement and 46th wedding anniversary!

The Agency is efficient. On the Water in Maine makes your vacation easy with a clean property, great explanations of everything you need to know, plus guide books to help navigate the area. We would definitely refer our friends!

Sunset Cottage had everything you want in a rental property and then some. We travelled with teens and they loved the ping pong table and the game room upstairs. The reading room and sunporch we the perfect start and finish to the day. We did a bunch of day trips including Portland, Freeport, Brunswick, Popham Beach. Popham Beach was breathtaking. We would definitely do that again.

Our experience with On the Water in Maine was first class - they are very professional.

Agency, 'On The Water' was very professional and easily available if needed.

We totally enjoyed Juniper Bank! We had not stayed in this area of Maine before and we loved it's quiet and private location. House was very comfortable and had everything one would need, so well equipped, neat, clean, spacious and organized. we enjoyed gorgeous sunrises in the morning and had most of our meals at the table and chairs on the back deck overlooking the beautiful water and it was very private!

Resonated quickly to concerns.

Well decorated, easy water access, great fishing for small mouth bass.

On the Water in Maine were very helpful and allowed us to stay six nights versus the standard seven days. They went out of their way to make sure that we easily collected the lock code to get into the house. Meg was extremely nice and even shared some tips on some neat spots to see in the area.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The house is beautiful and comfortable. I was grateful that you had a washer and dryer which made things very convenient. The view was amazing and I loved all of the windows that allowed us to let in fresh air. Both decks were used often and provided a nice place to relax outside. I love all the water, the peninsulas, the islands, all the song birds, the crisp air, the trees, the ginormous boulders, the architecture, but most of all the people. I have been from Harpswell to Camden during this trip and didn't have an a unfavorable experience with any of the locals.

Seamless.

Great place for a young family. The cottage is spacious and comfortable.

All of my interactions with the On the Water staff were very positive. Each person I spoke to was helpful and pleasant.

Lovely home with beautiful views. Very peaceful and quiet. We found ourselves traveling to Ellsworth and Bar Harbor/Acadia most days. The weather was rainy for the first 3 days. We found ourselves doing a lot of driving on those days and not getting out of the car very much. We drove to Campobello Island one day and enjoyed that quite a bit. Once it stopped raining, we took several hikes, enjoyed a nature cruise and visited a few of the local shops. We also enjoyed several restaurants in the area - Jordan Pond Restaurant, Finn's, and Tracy's Seafood. In terms of amenities in Milbridge and Steuben, there was not a lot. At least not that we could find.Again, we did a lot of driving. We loved the cottage but wish it had been closer to Acadia or that Milbridge had been more inviting.

Can't say enough great things about On the Water in Maine, everyone has been so nice and helpful. We have rented before from them and will rent again from them.

We loved the cabin, it was warm and cozy. The location on the lake was perfect but would have been better if the weather was nicer (it rained most of the week).

On the Water in Maine was very well organized!

Wonderful home, great location! The house itself was comfortable, clean and perfect for our group. The views, just lovely. 2 of us had been to Maine, the other family of 4 had not and neither had our 2 children (our daughter was here when she was 1 1/2 years old). Loved the beauty of the outdoors, the friendliness of the people we encountered, and the variety of things to do.
