Laughton House is a beautiful, well-appointed home with comfortable beds and plenty of room for gathering together. It has a beautiful front porch for relaxing and a great yard with plenty of room for play or a picnic. A short walk to the beach (500 yards) and to the historic fort makes this a perfect spot for a wonderful family retreat!
clean and cozy. my bed was very comfortable. my family and I traveled to Maine from western Pennsylvania for a celebration of life. This place was perfect for our stay
This house is in a great location. We could walk to the beach, or to Fort Henry to let my grandsons run around. The house is lovely and had everything we needed. We have come to this area of Maine since 2017, and this had been our favorite place to stay!
We have stayed at this house for several years and it’s always in immaculate condition with all of the needed amenities. Francine is a wonderful host and was very responsive leading up to and during the stay. The house is walking distance to the beach and can fit families of all sizes with the guest cottage next store.
Lovely old Maine home in a beautiful location. We loved hanging out on the porches and playing games in the yard. The owners were very nice and communicative and checking in/out was easy. We cooked almost every night and the kitchen had plenty of pots, pans,etc. We rented the main house and the cottage right next door which was great for our family group. However if someone we weren’t traveling with were in the cottage, it might’ve been a bit close for them or for us. There were folks in the other cottages throughout the week and we barely saw those visitors other than friendly hellos. It was nice and cool in the evenings and there were plenty of blankets to wrap up in ( and heating too but we didn’t need it). Great vacation spot!
