What Our Renters Have To Say
Taken from the Anodyne house guest book.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week in your lovely house. We especially appreciated the nice
combination of furnishings and tasteful details. South Bristol is a beautiful secluded
little village and we had fun taking walks and exploring every day.
Groom, Kvoriak and Dialo Families, Ohio and Massachusetts, 1997
Very comfortable and comforting. A great place for a "family fix". Dishwasher and laundry
facilities well used! Thank you.
Avantaggio Family, Maine, 1998
From the cast and crew of the feature film "Harborside" - thanks for letting us stay in
your beautiful house. It made a sometimes stressful 2 weeks feel like home.
The cast and film crew, California, 2000
This was a beautiful place to get away from it all! We loved your house and especially the wonderful
flower garden!
Lawe and Nickel Families, New York, 2001
La region est superbe, les paysages sant magnifiques meme sans soleil. It's a wonderful house.
The beach at the Reid State Park is a paradise.
Famille Lessard, Quebec, 2001
South Bristol is a quiet village and the people were very hospitable - a far cry from the
hustle and bustle of Boothbay Harbor where we stayed on a previous trip. Thanks for the
wonderful accommodations.
Elwyn Family, Illinois, 2002
What a great place for a family reunion. Fantastic blueberries! A fine location with weather
to match. And lobsters, too!

And finally, this from a German family who come every year:
David Andrews asked me to give you a quick feed back, so to speak from guest
to guest.
We - my wife, our two children (today 4 and 6) and myself - discovered
Anodyne house in 1998 through the Internet. In April '98 we went up (from
Boston) there for a few hours to check it out and fell instantly in love
with it, both with the House and its surroundings and with the area - South
Bristol and beyond (and by now consider Betsy and David good friends). Since
then we spent each summer 2 weeks up there, and try to come to South Bristol
in between as often as possible. As a matter of fact our children call
Anodyne House by now "our summer house", though probably Betsy and David
would not appreciate that.
Anodyne House can not be associated with the common shortcomings of a summer
renting space, basically because it isn't. It is Betsy and David's home,
i.e. fully equipped with everything one might expect from a private home.
The yard is huge, well protected and provides all the privacy one wants. And
South Bristol, with its Lobstering activities, its wharfs and its local
people is just a few minutes walk away. And since David added a little
rowing boat to the house, we spent every day many hours on the water, and
our children can't get enough to pass under the local draw bridge, which
opens frequently for the fisher boats. And if you want to discover more:
just some 10-15 minutes by car and you may spent a day at the beach at
Pemaquid beach or visit Pemaquit point and its famous lighthouse, or have a
lobster in New Harbor, take a boat ride to watch seals and other animals,
...
To make a long story short: we will spent as much time as possible at
Anodyne house, as long as we are privileged to do so. You see, I can highly
recommend the place if you want to spent an enjoyable and peaceful vacation,
but of course only as long as we can keep our slot (otherwise I will have a
really nasty family argument back home).
I wish you a pleasant vacation.
With best regards
Christoph Heymann
