For my first Airbnb experience, Katrina set the bar extremely high. Great communication, the house was great, exceeded my expectations. I mentioned that I was a photographer when booking the place and Katrina gave me some great tips on where to shoot and that alone is invaluable. I can never thank Katrina enough for this experience. When I crossed the border into Maine, I already wanted to come back and now I know where I wanna stay for future visits. My dog, Prince and I, felt welcome from the moment we pulled into the driveway. 10/10 would recommend!

Katrina was a wonderful host! She thought of everything you might need! The bed was comfortable and the room spacious and clean! She provided fans on a hot night and local tips! The bonus of doing laundry after a week of travel was so welcome! There’s a cute winery right near her place that’s worth checking out too!

Katrina was such a gracious host. She had the place set up for us before our arrival. She had everything that one could need or want. We felt right at home. Would definitely recommend!

Cute little spot about 20 minutes from Bangor and 1 hour and 20 minutes from Acadia National Park. Katrina is a great host and very responsive!

Beautiful saty at this warm and inviting home, full of character. Our host was lovely and offered a great dinner. Meanwhile in Belfast will not be one we forget. Some of the best brickoven pizza we’ve had an we are both NewYorkers! Thank you for the great stay. The home had everything we could have wanted and more. We wish you all good things.

An easy-as-pie check-in and accommodations, with clear instructions. We stayed only one night and appreciated our host's clear communications & accessibility to us while we were on the road. We thought the bed was too soft for us, but this of course depends upon one's preferences! Thank you for our stay, Katrina.

Katrina & Jessica will do anything possible to make a stay comfortable. Easy-to-use, well-labelled kitchen. So much space for the price! This was a perfect pivot for touring Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park, Bangor, Castine, Blue Hill, Fort Knox & the Observatory. Loved our walks in the picturesque town of Winterport.

Our suite was just beautiful, and came complete with a history of the house as well as info about local activities and venues. Wish we'd had more time to explore the rest of the house-- we got in late and so went pretty much straight to bed (it was very comfy).

Stayed here with my family and friends and the house was great. We all really enjoyed the old feel of the home. Also liked how it was very specious and fit us all very comfortably. The house is also very kid friendly, which is great having two kids and an toddler with us.

Katrinas place was great! The old house is really historic and has lots of historic things to see. The bed in our room was so big, we almost got lost. The big old house and all it's rooms were confusing at first, but got used to it - especially that great dining room and the kitchen. The communincation was great, as Katrina and Tristan were. Highly recommended for a stay if you are looking for one of the oldest houses in Maine and really nice and interesting people to meet there.

This house is full of Old Charm and a comfortable king size bed. Katrina has a little welcome basket in the room with tea/ coffee and chocolates. The little hot water pot is really nice for instant coffee or hot tea. She set out real China cups and saucers! My daughter and I really enjoyed our short stay. Thank so much for hosting us! I would definitely return if in the area.

Winterport, Maine is a special place. We are lucky to have so many great small businesses that offer wonderful, locally Maine made products. One of those awesome places is Farm House Coffee Roasters, a micro-roastery owned by Andy Newell. On a recent sunny spring day, he was kind enough to give me a tour of his roasting and distribution facility.
What started as side business in 2016 quickly grew, as word of Andy’s freshly roasted quality spread life wildfire. Farm House only roasts certified Organic Arabica coffee. They are certified Organic by MOFGA.
Andy roasts coffee daily and he will custom roast a blend from medium to dark or in-between. He recently created two custom blends for Crooked Steeple Hall, a medium and a dark. You can enjoy our coffee at both our Crooked Steeple or Pierce House locations.
We’re so happy that Andy is in Winterport and hope that like his coffee as much as we do!
Just steps from the door of Crooked Steeple runs the Penobscot River. You can't swim in the river as it's tidal and the current is quite strong. However, a walk along it edges is highly recommended! You never know what you might come across. Since the Penobscot is one of the oldest traveled rivers by Western Explorers, there are plenty of treasures to find. Starting with the Portuguese explorer Estevan Gómez in 1525, and earlier peoples, the river has been a well traveled.
With the river right outside our door, we recently took the chance to go driftwood hunting. Our driftwood walk brought us many interesting pieces we plan to incorporate in our Crooked Steeple and 1812 Pierce House accommodations. Maine rivers are full of exciting finds! We encourage you to take a walk along the river when you visit. Make sure you pack your muck boots and you're ready to get a little muddy!
To find out more about the Penobscot River and her treasures, check out these resources:
Maine Heritage Timber - a company out of Millinocket Maine that makes walls, floors, furniture and more out of virgin cut wood from the bottom of the Penobscot River.
Very fun apt in historic, former church. Cool little town with lots of Victorian architecture, close to a lovely river. The apartment is spacious and well-furnished. It's quiet and relaxing, and Katrina and Tristan were very quick to answer any questions we had, within minutes via text / email. We enjoyed The Bacon Tree restaurant right down the road for dinner one night (good food, friendly service) at Katrina's and Tristan's suggestion. We enjoyed our stay! Thank you for the treats of the "Crooked Steeple" signature maple syrup!

Katrina and her home were both amazing. Katrina is incredibly nice and helpful, she gave us many great suggestions on places to go and fun things to do and helped keep our trip fun. The home was beautiful, with a historic feel while still being very clean functional and nice. Me and my friends would definitely stay at Katrina's home again. Thanks so much Katrina!
