Recently closed on a property with Krainin and it was one of the best and easiest real estate transactions I've been a part of. Special mention to my realtor Geoffrey Brisson for going the extra mile. 10/10!

I've been renting Summer cottages from Krainin for many years now. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area and the cottages to ensure what I'm renting fits the needs of my party. This year I was pleased with the change to the 'key' pick up process as the cottage I rented had a lockbox installed so Krainin texted me the code and I was able to access the key to enter the cottage at my assigned time. Very simple and quick!

We had a great experience as first time renters. The communication through this uncertain year was excellent. The cottage was clean and everything and more than we expected. You guys hit a home run for my family and I. Looking forward to renting again next summer! Thank you so much!

We reached to you in June for an August rental. My husband stopped by your office and you promised us that you'd find us a rental. We still have not heard from your office.

Starting late winter, we have tried multiple times to rent this summer from Krainin. We were told Maine residents, which we are, could book starting June 1. We have made multiple inquiries on their site, e-mail, form submissions, and calling well before June 1. The only response we received was, starting June 1 Maine residents can book. I realize. 2020 has challenges and doing business is like working with a moving target, but at least get back to your customers even if everything is booked.

As a side note, we did rent from Krainin in the past without any issues. So we were surprised to have the issues that have occurred this year. Communication is key which is not occurring this summer and is too bad. I hope they can correct whatever is going on with their company.

DON'T bother. Three times we were told via email properties were available to rent and responded immediately that we'd like to proceed with the reservation, we were disappointed with emails several days later that they had been rented. There was no way to communicate by phone and I always had my number in the email so the rentals could be worked. out by them calling us.

There are underlying issues this summer for sure, but every other business I've dealt with during this pandemic has found creative ways to help clients, not frustrate them. I will not be a customer and as another reviewer said, word travels fast!

Krainin could think of others and not just themselves. They won't change their refund policy ( in light of the stay at home order) and are cashing in on the virus.

Don't walk, run! Be prepared for a "You'll take what we give you and like it" attitude. The scorching letter you'll receive from the Krainin's cranky old owner should you dare complain is almost comical. God help you if you pay $3,000.00 a week for a rental that reeks of mothballs, has broken or missing items, no coffee maker, no air conditioning on 90+ degree days, a tv from 1960's, and bug infestation, and don't like it. Maggie's misplaced and inaccurate accusations are insulting. I think a position at the registry of motor vehicles might suit her better.

With a view like this for a week who couldn't recharge and reset! Another great vacation. Thank you Krainin for the ease of the process. Until next year.

I would not suggest this place for rental especially if you need to cancel. I called back 5 months in advance to cancel and they only sent back half the money. When we called back they said someone had a hold on that particular week. Money should have been returned once someone else had a hold on it. So I am assuming that person cancelled also and they are keeping their money as well. I am seeking legal counsel now. Also in policy it says they keep 20 percent when you cancel but when I called they said 25 percent which is also illegal!

Amy has been such a pleasure to deal with as we navigated through a tough situation with the owner. She was compassionate, professional and very responsive. We will certainly never rent from this particular owner again BUT will definitely use Kranin again as we have been for the past three years. They truly care about their renters and that gives us much peace of mind.

Great company. We have returned several times and consistently find great vacation rentals offered by Krainin. For our last visit, they located several off season rentals and then worked with our extra requests to find us a very relaxing (and beautiful) house. They are super helpful and took time to answer all of our out-of-towner questions.
