What a sweet space! So close to the lake! Very quiet and peaceful. The loons were calling in the night/morning. The property is well maintained and tastefully decorated. We totally enjoyed our time there.

Clean, comfortable, beautiful surroundings

I stayed for a week with my spouse, two kids, and our dog. The cabin, itself, was clean and seemed as though it had been updated within the last couple of years. It had everything we could have needed for a comfortable stay. The walk to, and entry into the water, was easy and the lake is clean and clear. The surrounding area is beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed the fire pit. The laundry is located in a separate building up the hill on the property. The owners also live on-site, along with two other vacation units, so it’s not super private, if that is important to you. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property for any couple or small family.

We had the most amazing time! The property was perfect and had enough room for all of us and everything we needed. The lake is simply gorgeous and we used the kayaks and had such a relaxing time. Also, spectacular sunsets! Great communication with the hosts, will definitely be back

Peaceful sunny spot on a beautiful lake!

This house was nothing fancy, but exactly what my family needed to unwind. There were exactly enough beds for my partner and our 3 kids, and the kitchen/living room/dining room setup worked great for making simple easy meals. The thing that made the house special was outside. There is a huge expansive lawn leading down to a sparking clear lake which was literally steps from the front door. There's a shared dock and a little sandy beach, and kayaks and canoe and life vests to use. There's a a shaded patio with a dining table and deck chairs for sitting in the sun. Doug was very sweet, checking on us, delivering us a little fire pit and wood when we wanted to make a campfire. We had a great stay.

Loved this place

We spent 5 nights at this cabin before our kids went to school. We absolutely loved the cabin and loved our stay. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet retreat with lake access steps away from your cabin.

Vacation-land experience

Traditional Maine camp experience -- beautiful nature, loons, moon, lake. Spent several relaxing mornings outside with coffee and friends. Quiet evenings on the porch. Great place to unwind.

Awesome people/tired cottage

Clean mobile/cabin. Needed new rugs 10 years ago, Everything worked as it should. Be prepared for very steep terrain, owners Doug and Jen are the nicest, warmest people. We enjoyed our stay.
