While the setting and views of the Eggemoggin Reach and Pumpkin Head Lighthouse are truly amazing, they can’t make up for the overall condition of the house. The house was very functional; kitchen, laundry and bathrooms all worked (albeit creaky), but it was musty, stale and in need of an update. There was quite a bit of peeled and cracked paint, the carpeting needs replacing, and the furniture and bedding seemed very old. As advertised the house is very old, which would be charming if it was even moderately updated. We still had a great time visiting Little Deer Isle but were disappointed with the house, especially given the price tag.
