I chose this place as an anniversary weekend getaway. My wife and I grew up with and owned horses and we really enjoyed this secluded cottage on the horse farm. Melanie was great and we enjoyed being able to spend time with the horses in the barn and out to pasture. The view of the large field and woods was spectacular. We will definitely be back to visit this nice spot in the future.

You can tell Melanie has put love and joy into her cottage. She was extremely helpful in having suggestions for places to go and see that are less touristy. We had a fantastic time here. Just the R&R we needed! Would recommend 100% :) thank you Melanie!!

Our stay was amazing. We wish we had stayed here the entire trip. We are already making plans for next year and staying here for an entire week. Beautiful, peaceful, inviting and comfortable. Great host, top notch.

Nice cabin, clean and well equipped (from kitchen utensils to washing machine/dryer and books about the region) with a wonderful view over the fields with wildlife (bald eagles included). Great location (close to the ocean, swimming lakes and hiking) and especially for horseback riding! Melanie is a wonderful riding instructor, for children and adults, for beginners and advanced riders!

Better than advertised. Nicely stocked with the basics (dry and paper goods). Very comfortable and spacious for two adults - if you have children there's a trundle bed in the living room. Plenty of bedding and towels. The view across the back pasture was beautiful. We were gone during the day so missed the horses but enjoyed watching hundreds of Canadian geese in the morning plus two adult eagles and a fledgling! Fire pit in the back yard but be prepared for biting insects. Bug dope is a must if you're spending any amount of time outside. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone spending time in the Cherryfield area!
