Charming countryside vacation suite with immediate access to major Maine highway
Twin Ponds' hosts have created a lovely open concept suite that is delightfully decorated and well-appointed for an extended stay. Cook and eat-in, or jump in your car and travel through Maine's MidCoast towns and Islands. Twin Ponds in Bowdoinham is a restful space to relax after a busy day of exploring. I spent several of my days there doing nothing more than enjoying the fabulous sunshine that streamed into the suite while drawing and painting. It was a great treat. The hosts are very thoughtful and kind, and have helpful tips for their guests.

Wonderful base for exploring Coastal Maine
Twin Ponds was a wonderful base for exploring Coastal Maine. The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, many State Parks and also the harbors for whale watching were not far away. The suite had everything the two of us needed. The hosts, Brian and Luana, made us feel very much at home and helped us with many hints and recommendations for things to do. We also loved Oscar, the friendly golden-retriever. If we ever come back from Germany to Maine, we would love to return.

Boutique experience
Everything about our stay was perfect. On our way back home, we did an overnight to break up the trip and stayed at a good quality hotel which was such a disappointment after our relaxing stay at Twin Ponds--at the hotel we had doors slamming, kids screaming, impersonal staff, minimalist furnishings, view of the hotel roof and parking lot, etc--YIKES--take us back to Twin Ponds where we had a cozy nest furnished in warm colors and wonderful built ins that made the most of the space. The lighting was unbelievable. No matter where we chose to sit, there was overhead lighting, table lamps or floor lamps for comfortable reading. The efficient kitchen had everything we could need and the bath was outfitted with thick fluffy towels. The view from the windows was Walden Pond worthy with many birds to welcome us each morning. Our hosts were so gracious and Oscar had special tail wags when we arrived. We know the area well and make regular visits. We are thrilled that we have a new home away from home. I will mention one thing that might be confusing to new guests. The property is listed as having 2 bedrooms. The property has two rooms. One is the master bedroom with a couch. It opens up to a room that has a day bed and the large kitchen dining room area and so is not private from the other bedroom. This was not an issue for us but might be for others considering the property. I don't think VBRO has a way for that to be explained in the listing. You will love it here!

Loved our stay
We stayed here for our 40th anniversary and it was perfect. The view out the window looked like a famous French garden, and the birds on the feeder were very entertaining. The place was right-sized for us. We enjoyed day trips to the coastal botanical gardens and Wolfe's neck park. There is a nice full grocery store ten minutes away in Topsham, as well a smaller one two minutes away in Bowdoinham. All in all, wonderful, and certainly a welcome respite from the heat of Texas!

Wonderful retreat, convenient to everything!
Loved everything about this property! It was beautifully decorated and super comfortable, with just the right amount of space for our group of 3. Outside was so serene and peaceful, surrounded by nature. We loved sitting outside, walking around the large pond, picking wildflowers, watching the birds, and seeing the chipmunks scurrying around. Brian, Luana, and Oscar were all so sweet! They even left a birthday balloon for my Mom. ❤️ Location is convenient to so many things! We visited Portland, Freeport, Boothbay Harbor, and Bangor all easily with day trips. Rocky Ridge Orchard just down the road had awesome breakfast sandwiches and baked goods.

Cozy, easy access and convenient
We were very pleased with this attractive, comfortable and well-built suite. The owers and kind and helpful. The space was nicely organized and tastefully decorated. There is tons of great lighting and at least 4 comfy spaces to curl up and read a good book. We found sufficient space for storing clothes and other items. The kitchen has everything you would need to cook a 5 course meal! The property is very close to the highway - which was super convenient - yet it is far enough removed that we never heard any noise. The outdoor landscaping and walkway was beautifully tended. It was so much fun to watch the variety of birds that gathered daily at the feeder outside the window! The location of this property and ease of access make it a great choice to explore the area. We made trips to Brunswick, Topsam and Bath, particularly enjoying the haddock at the Kennebeck Tavern and the impressive displays at the Maritime Museum, both located in Bath. We hope to return in the spring!

First let me say there’s nothing little about this beautiful suite. When you walk along the curved bricked path and arrive at your door you’re welcomed by nature. It’s stunning! Remember to take a breath before opening the door, you’ll feel like you just walked into an Anthropologie decorated suite! Beautiful wood headboard, comfortable bed, gorgeous wardrobe, kitchen complete with everything you need to whip up a desired meal and complimented with fresh ground coffee! Brian and Luana were the perfect hosts, prior to booking, after booking and during our stay they were an absolute joy to communicate with. So kind and knowledgeable…knew all the right places to suggest to my daughter and I during our stay. You’ll have no trouble getting to where you decide to go as your close by the expressway and never feel like it. You’re emersed in nature with peaches, pears and blueberries growing right on the property! Beautiful water view of one of the ponds and we were fortunate to spend time with Oscar their playful pup who took to my daughter in an instant. Such a lovely couple, magical suite and perfect location. We can’t wait to come back for a visit next year or sooner! Thank you for allowing us to experience Twin Ponds!!!

Perfect stay
We stayed at Twin Ponds while we were visiting the Freeport / Portland area on our way to Acadia. The property was perfect for our needs - 2 adults and a teenager had plenty of room and were able to cook breakfast each morning before heading out. Watching the fireflies over the pond when we returned each night was an added bonus. Our visit was too short as we were only able to visit with our hosts briefly, which allowed us to give Oscar a belly rub.

The owners are friendly and helpful and the suite is well-designed and has everything you need: comfortable bed, kitchenette, lovely grounds. The location is super--we found that driving time to various places (Portland/ Boothbay Harbor/ Camden, etc) was short because of good highway access and the back way (via route 27) to Rte 1 in Wiscassett helps cut a corner to access route 1 north.

Simply wonderful!
The place was amazing. Impeccably decorated, but even more important, it was immaculately clean, with great attention to detail. One thing that was deeply appreciated was the horizontal space. Travelers need space to lay their belongings, and there were tables and shelves everywhere. The view out the window to the pond was simply enchanting. Parking was a few steps from the door. Brian and Luana could not have been nicer or more helpful, giving great info about the area and helping me find what I needed in the area. I-295 is very close, so multiple destinations were easy to navigate. I'd like to offer at least some criticism of my stay there, but frankly, there was honestly nothing I would change. It genuinely was a great experience, and Brian and Luana are very warm and made me feel like a special guest. Would I stay there again? Are you kidding?! In a heartbeat. Bonus: if you like dogs, the stay comes equipped with Oscar, a beautiful Golden Retriever, who will give lots of hugs. (And much to their credit, Luana and Brian made sure I liked dog hugs before Oscar and I became friends)
