Summary: The house & property were immaculately clean & well-manicured! Beautiful peaceful rural estate! Our family of 8 including 3 preteen grandkids thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor pool & other amenities-feeding the goats & miniature ponies!! We would highly recommend this property!! Beth is a great host. And Sarah & Pete were very helpful & hospitable as well!
Debbie C. Jun 30, 2025 09:57:10 PM
Summary: We spent 5 days at this beautiful home. We had a party of 13 which ranged in ages from 4-70 and it was enjoyed by everyone. The house was emaculate and so tastefully decorated yet remained welcoming. The setting is so beautiful, the views are amazing and so relaxing. We happened to pick one of the hottest weeks in Maine, so the pool was a welcome respite from the heat and the perfect way to end the day of sightseeing. Grocery stores were close and had everything we needed. A short drive to Portland and the shore. My grandson fell in love with Tatertot the goat, whom he visited as often as possible. I would recommend to anyone staying in the area. Perfect for large family gatherings.

Summary: Our second stay at Austin House did not disappoint. Beautiful setting, lots of room, and plenty to do for everyone from grandparents to the kids…even the thunderstorm was stunning! Beth & her team were so helpful & friendly. Thanks for another great visit!

Summary: 10 out of 10 across the board, you won’t be disappointed.
Kathleen N. Aug 12, 2023 12:00:32 PM
Summary: Property was easy access for driving and flying and super clean with plenty of space indoors and out for our gathering! The owners were readily available for any questions and to meet our needs. The property is beautifully well kept for weekend weddings and events, so weekday rentals are perfect if you don’t have an event scheduled there, but I’d also recommend them for catered events. It is also near beach and many Maine attractions - only wish we could stay longer but definitely will consider renting again.

Summary: The property is stunning. Watching sunset from the deck each night was thrilling. The outdoor and indoor pool were a big plus. Very large dining area and perfect area for breakfast. There is plenty of bedrooms and extra spaces for quiet time. It was very hot at the end of June and beginning of July. Our only issue was the lack of air conditioning in areas of the house. Though there were some fans in the closets, some bedrooms were not air conditioned and it was extremely uncomfortable especially for relaxing in the evening. The main dining room had a portable air conditioner unit, but it did not help much with the heat. Also the kitchen and breakfast area were not air conditioned. The large, spacious sitting area upstairs was not air conditioned either. The price was very expensive and worth it, if in the correct season. That was our only disappointment.

Summary: We were so pleasantly surprised on arrival, the home is enormous, the kitchen absolutely perfect, the property pristine. It was difficult to leave at the end of our stay and everyone loved their time! We were joined by family from age 3 to 75, and everyone loved the experience!
Marlene J. Aug 13, 2022 11:00:54 AM
Summary: It was like a home away from home. The owner (Beth) was helpful from beginning to end of stay. We are sending kudos to The cleaning staff. Every aspect of this 7,000 sq. Ft. House was immaculate. The house and property are very very well maintained. The kitchen adequately stocked for most likely anything you could possibly need. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Wind River Estate. Just beautiful.
Moira D. Jan 17, 2022 01:01:00 PM
Summary: This house had it all. The country-chic vibe. Tons of space. Heated indoor pool. Chef's kitchen. Horses, walking trails, Christmas decor ... I could go on and on. We are an extended family of 14 and everyone LOVED this house. We made a a few trips to Portland, but mostly hung out at this amazing property. Highly recommend.
Alicia R. Jan 12, 2022 11:00:19 PM
Summary: Riverwinds was the ideal place for our family reunion Christmas! Plenty of space for all, a huge kitchen for cooking and gathering together, and an absolutely breathing taking property for taking snowy walks together!! Perfect!
