Very clean and comfortable. Lakefront difficult yo get to as steeper than I thought it would be. Also, could use another light in living room so can read. Other than that, everything great.

Just Right Maine Quirkiness
The rental unit was clean and appropriately furnished, with just the right amount of Maine-style quirkiness regarding layout. It was a convenient location for exploring the nearby surrounding area.

Such a great little haven!
I needed a quiet, safe place to stay while I had some business in Belgrade. This was such a sweet little spot, with great cove access, amd the bedroom had a great view of the water. This is a small, simple place that was well-appointed and absolutely spotless- a perfect hideaway!
