Apartment in Rockland

We were in town for an event happening at a local resort but there wasn’t any rooms available so we just needed a place to sleep. The apartment was clean and the host was easy to communicate with.

Wonderful Historic Property in a Great Location

Beautiful historic home! We really enjoyed all of the attention to detail in this home - from the decor and linens to the dishes and layout - it suited our family of 4 (adults) well. So much fun looking at all of the art and the huge selection of books available. We were curious about the history and had fun looking up the original family! Kitchen was fully functional and included all of the little gadgets and things you wouldn't think to bring with you on vacation. You can see a view of Rockland Harbor from the dining room which made for a pretty sunrise breakfast. The location was exactly where we needed to be for a family wedding at the Harmony Hill Farm nearby. Close to necessities - grocery store, gift shops and restaurants in town, the roads were very easy to navigate with GPS. The owners were clear with communication and instructions. We did not get to meet them in person, but appreciated the privacy and trust. Would definitely stay again, thank you!

Cozy wonderful home

We only stayed here one night but I could easily see staying here much longer. The owner was wonderful to communicate to, the house/apartment is very well set up and cozy. We arrived later in the evening through a terrible rain storm. The apartment was warm and clean, and was the perfect place to end the days activities.

Stay in Rockland

Very unique place to stay. Lots of period pieces and history on every wall. Home was very comfortable and great for our time in Rockland. Owners were very responsive to a problem with hot water. Clearly they understand customer service. The upstairs apartment that we stayed has stairs that are narrow and steep which made it difficult for my wife that has knee issues.
