Fantastic Stay
Our stay in the Lakefront home was simply outstanding. The beautiful setting, quiet location, warm water, sunny weather, and the ability to have our local family and pet join us all contributed to this wonderful vacation. Our family hopes to return to this beautiful home next year. Thanks!

Great Lake!
Our group booked this home to spend the 4th of July weekend and we had a good time. The home is on a gorgeous, clean lake and the setting is extremely relaxing and private. We really enjoyed sitting on the dock and watching the loons (I have never seen so many)! The owners provided great directions to get to the house and check in was easy. We appreciated the owners leaving kayaks and a canoe for guest use - it was nice to be able to get out on the water! The lake was also great for swimming although we would of appreciated if the ladder had been attached to the dock for our stay. Our dogs loved playing in the yard and swimming with us. The house appears to have been updated recently and was a good size for our group of four adults and two dogs. We appreciate the owners allowing dogs to stay. The house had most everything we needed to prepare meals except we could not find dish towels. We appreciated the space left in the pantry for guest items. Of note, some of the drawers and cabinets were cluttered and these spaces, and some kitchen items, were not as clean as would be expected. The beds were comfortable but there was limited space for guest items in the bedrooms/closets due to the owners storing their clothing/items there. We were able to work around this but our experience would have been improved if there was more space set aside for guest’s things. Would overall recommend this property to those looking for a relaxed stay on a beautiful Maine lake!

wonderful getaway
Our group had a great time at this beautiful lakehouse. After some initial confusion related to a delaying confirming the reservation through the VRBO platform, everything went smoothly. It was great to have use of the canoe and kayaks and the fire pit was a lot of fun. Thanks!

Fun by the lake!
The location was lovely. Quiet lake with friendly people. Plenty of room for all of us. Nice to cook in the kitchen or on the grill. Enjoyed the kayaks and being out on the water. The public sandy beach is just a short walk (or kayak/canoe ride) away. We had a great time!
