Summary: I may have left behind (or didn't pack) a couple of men's linen shirts. We are still in the area Aug 3-10 so if you have them, we can arrange to pick them up. overall, we really enjoyed the property. either I didn't notice or it wasn't clear that the 2nd bedroom was in a loft with no ability to close it off. maybe that was my fault. otherwise, I really liked it. very very much.

Summary: Rudman's retreat isn't a basic cottage on a postage size lot, it is a beautiful, meticulously maintained, 4 season home VERY tastefully decorated with cherry furniture. The waterfront views of lobster boats coming and going was spectacular. Nearby we walked through the woods to an old WW II ocean observation tower and gun emplacements. David, the caretaker was super friendly, responsive, and easy to work with. As NH residents, we were impressed that our former US Senator's family owns this property, even displaying several items from his time as Senator. We will likely return, if they'll have us!

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house on the ocean. Everything was so perfect for our small work retreat. The only issue we had at all was the downstairs bed was very hard. A memory foam mattress added would fix it and make his house absolutely perfect! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Summary: Rudman's Retreat provided the quintessential Maine vacation. This is what made it perfect: a bright comfortable house, with a fully stocked kitchen, a dock to watch the sunset over the cove, a 5 minute walk to the the beach, and a super friendly and attentive host. Of the many properties we have rented Rudman's Retreat is at the top of the list.
