The gallery motel and cottages was a nice place to stay. I thought that I had booked a cottage but upon arrival found out it was a room. The woman working the desk quickly accommodated my request, moving us to a cottage. The place is cute with a ten foot deep pool, fire pits, picnic tables outside each cottage along with a grill for cooking.

I found it hadan excellent place for people who have pets. There is a section where you can bring your pets to run around and if you bring a ball with you they can play fetch with you. Or just walk around and look at the foliage. You could also have a game of catch.

We stayed in the joined up part of the motel and can only speak to that room (#20) vs. the cabins. The room has a musty, unpleasant smell and it was very hot when we arrived. We started the wall/window air conditioner and it was like a jumbo jet taking off it sounded so loud. You definitely do not need a white noise machine due to the AC machine (which made us nervous about how well maintained it was - what the air quality was, specifically) also the extractor fan in the bathroom which turns on with the light was also incredibly loud. The ceiling is so low I could touch it (I am 5'6") and the bedspreads are so old and the bedding has seen better days (kind of makes you feel like you have to check it for bedbugs - I did and did not find any! Phew). The mattresses are tiny doubles that are like sleeping on wooden boards that squeak. We had a very rough sleep and if we had booked two nights (luckily we had only need of one), we would have left and found somewhere else. The positives were that the room was cleaned well (including the bathroom), parking was easy and very close to the room, and the employee was friendly and checkin was straightforward. Would not stay again unfortunately.

The cottages are quaint, but nice. Clean. There's a table, couch, chairs, small stove top, microwave, mini fridge, coffee pot, etc. There's a clothesline and porch with small table and two chairs. The pool, screened gazebo, and fire pits out back are all very nice. No it isn't a five-star resort, but the value for the price can't be beat. Although, the bed does squeak when you move around. They really are dog-friendly with plenty of outdoor space and they even have a pet waste receptacle. Most hotels charge 30-75 and up per pet, but this place is only 10. There are plenty of food options locally and I even saw a pet supply store and groomer. The nearby beaches are wonderful, and some are dog-friendly. I love it here and can't wait to come back next year!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The cabin was very clean as was the grounds. The pool was so nice.There were fire pit, a play ground, ride on toys for kids and grills. Outside the cabin was a picnic table and clothesline to hang wet cloths. We will definitely be back.

Horrible disinfectant smell in the room, apparently from the AC unit. Had to shut it off and open doors and windows to breathe in there. No screen door, so bugs came in. Windowsills were filthy. Sheets were very old. It’s cheap, but you get what you pay for.

The cottages are nice, but very dated. I would rate this as a 7.5/10. The rooms are clean, though some deep cleaning could be done (there was a large accumulation of dust behind the nightstand). As stated, some inexpensive updates to the fixtures and swapping some lights for PED daylight bulbs could make this place feel so much nicer.. Overall it’s a nice place, price/value was a little high for what I needed, but if you’re going to spend a few nights, the full size fridge and other conviniencesare nice.

Water pressure in shower good, internet not so good and tv pretty much unwatchable as screen was fuzzy and voices unclear but we weren't there to watch tv

Was there for 2 nights for a conference...but its on my list to come back for a longer stay. Very nice and caring owners - If you want to come to Maine to explore...put this on your bucket list for a place to stay! Dog friendly with a doggie area.

What is not to like! Kathy and John are your host and are simply amazing. The cottage had two bedrooms and a kitchen and bathroom plenty of room for your family to enjoy. The pool is fabulous and location is close to everything. One night I had a fire at the fire pit with other vacationers and the owner Kathy came out with everything to make s'mores and joined us for the fun. I will always return to this location for I feel like family when I stay there. Pet friendly as well.
