Aunt Mary's, Brooksville, Penobscot

We had a great stay. It's our first airbnb experience, so we didn't to be a totally remote rural barn converted house. It's not a traditional hotel as one would expected. But we absolutely loved our stay. The scenery is just breathtaking. The little barn converted house is just charming. We even found a working 1920s' Edison C-20 model turnable. Talking to the owner, and found out that their ancestors were settling in the region in 1770s. Make sure you talk to Dick. He has a great experience to share.

Excellent rustic cabin in a beautiful setting! We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Aunt Mary's Cabin. Great for families with small children.

Aunt Mary's Cabin was recommended to us (5 women in our 60's). It was perfect for our group with two bedrooms and a couple of choices for an extra bed in the living room. Two bathrooms helped, especially one with a shower and no shortage of hot water. A nice sized kitchen where we could sit around the table when we were not sitting in the screened in porch. We were only there at night because of the many day activities we planned, and it was comfortable sleeping even without air conditioning. A good location for exploring cute little towns and doing some hiking. Our hosts were helpful whenever we had questions. We would recommend this cabin as rustic with two very comfy beds and plenty of room to sit and visit.

This is a fabulous place. So fun, comfortable...and so Maine! The location is awesome. You can walk down the road to water, the outlook from the windows and porch are beautiful. You have everything you need...the description is perfect. The only thing is that the internet connection is not good. I found a rock outside that I could sit on. That's the only thing I'd ask help on. The hosts are wonderful, there if you need them and living their own lives when you don't. No TV...but a bunch a movies that even kept my 22 year old happy at night. a great selection. I'll be back for sure.

The cabin was a great relaxing get-away for 5 days. It's rural location is perfect for unwinding, with a small kitchen and screened in porch overlooking a field. I would definitely recommend for a small family or two couples.

For our first trip to Maine, our experience here was exactly what we had hoped for--beautiful scenery, quiet, rustic yet comfortable, off the beaten path but still within driving distance to several small towns along the coast and other hidden gems.

Carol is a great host! You have all the privacy you want although she was so pleasant we had her over for some wine and conversation! The cabin has everything you would need if you are looking for a place to unplug from the rest of the world.

We loved our stay here and have recommended to friends seeking a similar experience. The Maine coast is so beautiful and I can't imagine going back and not staying at Aunt Mary's Cabin.

A beautiful place and very responsive, friendly and relaxed host. The cabin is exactly how it is described: semi-rustic, independent, and in a wonderful part of the Maine coast - exactly what we were looking for. Thanks!

We LOVED this place! Rustic in appearance only - in fact the beds are comfy, the hot water plentiful, the porch screened and the lounge room upstairs is lovely. Gas stove and microwave. Both the porch and lounge look across a meadow. The whole area is quiet and beautiful. We would return here without hesitation. In fact, if we're in the area again, we fully intend to! Good for couples or families. Enjoy!

If you're looking for a cute, peaceful, semi-rustic get a way on the Maine country side this is a great spot. More than enough space for two people, and 4 or 5 would still be comfortable. All the appliances worked well and the cabin's up-keep was in great condition. Carol and Dick were the best "neighbors" we could have asked for (giving us all the privacy and quiet we wanted, and then eager and excited to help when approached). Several small towns are within reasonable driving distance with grocery stores, antique shops and plenty of lobster spots. Deer Isle, with plenty of tourism activities, is also within a reasonable drive. We took a wonderful hike on near by Cape Rosier. There are two calm gravel beaches within a 7 minute walk (we were the only people on both beaches when we were there). Not having air conditioning was pretty rough during the midday heatwave (we were there for an unusually hot week), but Carol provided 4 fans and we made do. The nights were incredible. Fantastic sunsets, stars and cool ocean breezes made for refreshing ends to our days. It's no resort, but for what we wanted it was perfect.

We enjoyed our time in Brroksville staying in Aunt Mary's Attic. The peaceful surroundings, and warm welcome were a treat. Carol provided us with information and checked in on us to make sure we were comfortable etc. The access to the water was great and we were able to store our kayaks in her boat house. Very friendly and charming hosts. I would love to stay here again.

Carol and her husband were delightful! Great people to chat with and their property was a dream! Aunt Mary's Studio is cozy, quaint and very clean, and is set on a beautifully-kept farm. The duckies, chickens, and friendly goats just sealed the deal!

We had a long trip to get there and the host were great. They welcome us with a few eggs, enough to make diner. The groceries are not that close, and we got lost on the way...(we had no GPS, so our fault). We taught the extra cabin wih hammac was ready to relax, but since it was off season, we were not able. Not a lot to do in this area but far enough to let go and relax :-)

Carol was great! Had a stay here during the government shutdown with put a damper on my stay at Acadia and Carol was able to suggest a bunch of other things to do in the area.

The place was clean and comfortable and Carol takes great care of her property. I would recommend to a friend and stay here again.

Thank you Carol for everything.

The entire setting is pristine, peaceful and ready to offer the best of well-appointed accommodations to sea-loving travelers! Carol has created a studio space where guests have everything they need. It is cozy and rustic downstairs and bright and cheery upstairs. We highly recommend Aunt Mary's!

Beautiful, tastefully and artistically furnished cottage in the middle of a splendid landscape. The hosts were very accomodating; we would love to go back in future.

We could not have asked for nicer, more thoughtful hosts than Carol and Dick, who were a pleasure to chat with, and who delivered us fresh eggs, as well as homemade sticky buns and wild blueberries, throughout our stay. When a minor construction project at the house went on for a longer than anticipated, they were profusely apologetic and even bought us lobsters, and cooked them for us, to make up for any noise or inconvenience. (Which was minor, to begin with.) The overall environment is charming and communal.

In keeping with the charming rustic vibe of the Blue Hill peninsula, the Studio, while smalll, was well-appointed and perfect for our visit, with a great little kitchen, pleasant area to eat, and a very comfortable bedroom upstairs. The property itself is gorgeous -- it is adjacen to two beautiful beaches, surrounded by open fields, and situated at the end of a long road which was perfect for walking and running. We hope to return again.

Lovely, quiet spot away from the crowds, but within striking distance of Acadia and other attractions. Carol provided lots of helpful information on local highlights. We enjoyed the upstairs bedroom with the big skylight, so bright and sunny. A real treat to hear the chickens in the morning, and to have a waterfront view for sunsets. WiFi connection is spotty, and cell phone calls kept dropping; Carol offered to let use a room in her home for a better connection if we needed it. A great launching pad for exploring the Maine coast. Thank you Carol!

Both the house and the proprietor are most charming. Will definitely be returning.

We have such a great time in this place. In full nature, juste near the sea...So nice and confortable! Childrens can play in the garden... All the area is so calm and cool! Carole and her husband are really nice. Thank you for this great holiday!

My kids and I try to get to Maine every year and love, love the cabin. I get up early and walk on the beautiful tree bordered roads for several miles, maybe stopping by the bakery for a loaf of bread -- just leave cash! before heading back just in time to have coffee with everyone before heading off to one of the numerous wonderful farmers' markets a short drive away. By the time I'm back, the teens are awake and a day of swimming, biking, and blueberry picking starts. Beautiful and restful place, it's a great place to reconnect with yourself and whoever you bring along.
