The view can't be beat. The cabin was clean and very cute. Our only complaint was that the bed was very soft and bouncy for our taste and we considered sleeping on the mattress on the floor upstairs but didn't want to be that far from the bathroom (old people problems). We used a couple of the kayaks to cruise out on the calm waters in the morning and loved hearing the loons. We didn't realize the beach was shared and was surprised to see a couple of ladies swimming out there when we woke up. We had plans and were in and out a lot that weekend... but when we were there... we were on that beach gazing at that beautiful lake. I bet it's stunner in the fall when the leaves change!

Excellent lake front house

My wife and two daughters just finished our weekend stay and we had an absolute blast. The beach and dock were excellent. There were plenty of water toys and the water is crystal clear. The grocery store is close, the Maine Wildlife park is just down the road, and it's not far off I95 so it made for a pretty great weekend getaway. We will hopefully be back next summer. Thank you Peter!

Family Vacation

We booked this site because of the lake, the location to Portland and golf courses, and the ability to bring our dogs. We were blessed that all 3 of our adult children got the time off, we were all together with my 90 year old Mom. The house was perfect, we loved spending the whole day in the lake, Peter supplies the paddle boards, canoes, kayaks, and a paddle boat. The setting was amazing, and our son proposed to his girlfriend on the dock in front of our family!!! It was a perfect week in the perfect spot, we will be coming back for sure!!!!! Thank You Peter for such an amazing location for our momentous event!!!

Peacefull vacation

Very clean and well supplied with everything needed for a relaxing week. The owner was available for questions when needed, but was not at all intrusive. The dock was not available due to the excessive rain, but Peter made arrangements with a neighbor to use their dock for our boat. Very nice.

Wonderful week on the lake in August

Peter is a great host. The lake is lovely and clean. Getting into the water is gradual and sandy, which made it easy for our grandkids to walk in and play where it's shallow or jump in off the dock. They loved swimming to the floating dock. Lots of chairs for sitting by the lake plus kayaks, canoes and paddle boards. The house is as described and very comfortable. The separate "apartment" below the main house worked well for our two families. We had a great time. Thank you, Peter.

Loved our first trip to Maine!

I stayed at this house with my mom, dad and adult daughter. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out and enjoy the week. The house itself had everything we needed and then some! While we didn’t have the best of weather, we thoroughly enjoyed time on the dock, in the paddle boat and kayak, and the beach. We could have easily stayed another week and loved every day. We drove to Freeport for shopping, Portland and Cape Elizabeth for sightseeing and Boothbay Harbor area for the botanical gardens and a whale watching excursion. Everything was a bit of a drive from the house but I knew that before booking. We wanted to see Maine and all the different countrysides so this location ended up being perfect for us! Thank you for opening your house up to us so we could experience Maine together. Memories were made that will last a lifetime ❤️

Incredible spot!

What an amazing oasis. The house is very comfortable, well appointed and right on the beach! Peter was a gracious and responsive host. Lots of thoughtful touches, kindling and newspapers for s’more fires, buckets of water by the door to reduce the amount of sand one tracks in, etc. Perfect vacation. Highly recommended.

Two Weeks on the lake

We chose this property for its proximity to a family member who owns a house on the lake, and we rented it for two weeks. This property is nicely landscaped and situated on the south end of Sabbathday Lake. A wall of windows in the living room provides a spectacular panoramic view of the lake and its surrounds. The water is shallow and crystal clear and just steps from the door. The kitchen is well appointed with a nice set of dishes and everything you need for cooking, even a good set of knives. The house has two separate entrances, which was perfect for the days our adult children visited - they used the studio apartment which afforded them privacy and their own bathroom. It is located near a main road, but the traffic on it is sparse. The owner is genuinely nice, lives nearby and was extremely responsive, including replacing a piece of furniture that didn't meet our needs.

Have stayed at many vacation rentals and this one ranks near the top. Great, flexible owner, A+ cleanliness, super location. I had misread the description and thought the beach was private but it’s shared with the house next door. No issues at all, we still had the beach to ourselves, just good to know.

Great week!

Peter was super helpful and answered all questions very quickly. The house worked perfectly for two couples since we each had our own space. The only thing to be aware of, if your looking for a really private place to stay, this isn’t it. The beach is shared with other families, and although everyone is very considerate, we still found it to be a bit awkward. Also, there’s traffic on the road behind the neighborhood that can be loud. All in all though, it was fun! Location to Portland is convenient, the sunsets were beautiful, and the house fit our needs.
