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.

Had a wonderful stay!!!
My wife and I had a great experience at Twin Ponds, the host are wonderful, thank you Brian and Luana and Oscar 🐾. The property is beautiful and our suite was cozy and had everything we needed. This was a once in a lifetime trip to explore the beautiful coast of Maine and we couldn't have picked a better place to enjoy our stay. We highly recommend Twin Ponds if you are planning a trip to Maine, great location a half a mile from I-295 and about forty minutes from Portland international jetport.

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!
