For us, it is how a place makes us feel. As soon as I walked in the door, I exhaled, went upstairs to the main living area, smiled and said, “ I love it here”. It was our 3rd stay, so very familiar. Our hosts are awesome and continue to add to the experience. We enjoy being able to walk to downtown- it is a walk. This year, we invited our daughter’s in-laws to stay part for the time with us so they could enjoy seeing our shared grandchildren enjoy Eastport’s 4th of July. They also loved the place and couldn’t believe how quiet it was and were amazed at how well they slept. We highly recommend this place and the hosts !
