Quiet mini-splits for both heat and A/C. Everything was clean. Location was pleasantly quiet, with a nice sunny waterfront lawn and a sandy entrance to the water. Big windows let in a lot of light. We also had availability of a canoe and kayak. And our dog was welcome. Plus, the host took us on a tour of the lake! The only drawback was the bed was on the small side, in a tight space, but I’m sure that helps keep the price down.

The check in process was seamless. We arrived to a clean space with all the amenities described. The view of the pond was absolutely gorgeous as well as catching an abundance of crappie. Communication with Ric was perfect. He answered our questions promptly. This really is a beautifully tranquil place to stay to get away from the less than stellar vibe of urban life.

The grounds were beautiful and well-kept, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the house was a major letdown. The shower had a strong sewer smell and visible mold. The air conditioning unit also had visible mold spots, and when turned on, it gave off a musty odor. The couch had noticeable stains, and there was a thick layer of dust underneath it. I’ve attached photos of all of these issues.Also, the bed was very firm — which may be great if that’s your preference — but we personally found it uncomfortable and didn’t sleep well. With a thorough deep cleaning and a few updates, this property could be much more enjoyable and comfortable.

Maine Trip

We loved the house and location on the pond! There were endless outdoor activities and the grill was great. It was a scavenger hunt to find a few items, but we were able to find them. I would recommend adding extra toilet paper as one roll was almost not enough. The dishes were dirty and it didn’t look like it was cleaned with much detail at all. Besides dirty dishes and a few missed spots cleaning, this was a great place to stay and would recommend to anyone!

Great place

We thought that this would be a nice place from the listing, but it exceeded expectations. Nicely redesigned and renovated small house for a couple with all the right touches. Beautiful pond steps from the door for canoeing, kayaking or fishing. Great just to hang out but also a good jumping off point for Biddeford, Saco, Portland and other coastal towns. We have rented places around the world and this is up there with the best.

Property overlooks a beautiful lake. Opposite shore is forested and leaves were in autumn colors. Loons were heard calling across the lake. Comfortable furniture and good basic kitchen supplies made stay easy. Bathroom is well appointed with modern shower. Bedroom is a little small but comfortable. Good wifi, and convenient desk for working.

Fantastic place to stay!

This camp was amazing to stay at. It has everything you would expect to have in a Maine camp. It has a very cozy feeling which makes you feel like you are at home. It is very clean and well organized. This is camp is an absolute must stay if you want that cozy lake feeling!
