My husband, adult daughter and I spent a week at this wonderful house. It is comfortably furnished with a modern kitchen, and beautiful views of the lake. We enjoyed kayaking, canoeing and fishing right from our dock. Paula was a perfect host and answered any questions we had promptly. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Maine Lake Escape

What a great escape from the hustle and bustle of life! My husband and I loved the cottage on the lake. Everything was beautiful from the kitchen to the views to the quiet setting! Our host was tremendous and went out of her way to make us feel welcomed, even leaving fresh flowers for our arrival. The location is ideal. We did day trips to Freeport and Portland and came home to the sit on the deck and watch the . I highly recommend this tranquil escape!!

Forest Lake, Gray Maine

This property is wonderful! We arrived to an impeccably clean house. There were welcoming touches left for us. The kitchen is well thought and stocked with good quality houseware. The beds and living spaces were very comfortable. The views of the lake are stellar - we had an added bonus of there being a full moon to appreciate. We highly recommend this property and intend to return.

Our stay at the cottage on Forest Lake was wonderful! We felt at home the moment we walked in the door and were greeted by a bouquet of beautiful wild flowers. The home was perfectly clean and had everything we needed! Comfortable beds, every possible amenity, beautiful wood working and the view was unsurpassed, right on the shore. Quiet, peaceful and gorgeous. Paula was the the perfect host. She answered any question promptly and was always there if we needed anything. I wish we could leave more than 5 stars.

Perfect lake vacation

This was the perfect lake cabin for my husband and me and our daughter and son-in-law. They were delighted with the lake access just outside the door and took advantage of swimming and boating almost every day. My husband and I enjoyed the gorgeous view and quiet reading time. We did a few day trips in the area as well. The cabin was exceptionally clean and provided all the linens, kitchen supplies and boating needs we could want. The interior has been recently remodeled and is very comfortable for four people. We enjoyed our stay and would book again if in the area.

Wonderful Vacation on Forest Lake

The property was fantastic. The inside of the home was very clean with beautiful water views of the lake. We spent most of our time sitting outside at the dock or on one of the balconies. The weather was perfect and warm enough to go in the lake. My husband enjoyed fishing!! Paula is a great host and communicated with us several times during our stay, even on the long journey back to our home. Would love to return again next year. You can't go wrong with this place!!

Lake house stay in Maine

The property was in great condition and very fully and attractively equipped. We didn’t even get around to using all the amenities. Having kayaks available to use on the lake was appreciated, and the lake is so close that you feel like you’re right on the water when you’re sitting in the living room. We also appreciated that the owner made it easy to recycle. Communications were easy and the owner was very responsive.

we had a truly relaxing and wonderful time at this gorgeous property. we thought we would scoot out to beaches or portland- both close- but why leave when the gorgeous lake are in the backyard. we grilled on the new grill, enjoyed the beautifully renovated kitchen, kayaked, canoed, swam, and rested deeply- which was possible because of the sweet location. we were sad to leave and can’t wait to return. paula and joe were hands off but available but we didnt need them. everything was blissful.

Our experience in Maine was outstanding. Paula communicated clearly so that we knew what to expect. The house was clean and prepared with everything needed for a week long retreat. The kitchen had everything needed. We had access to a canoe, kayaks, life jackets and paddles. The fishing was excellent! Paula even had fresh-cut flowers and coffee waiting for us.

Do not hesitate to book this quiet, lakefront property

Do not hesitate to book this quiet, lakefront property. It is even better than described. The house is extremely clean and it has everything you need for an easy getaway. Paula, the owner, is quick to respond to texts. Highlights include multiple windows overlooking the lake, nice towels, plenty of pillows and blankets and a comfortable bed. There is also plenty of hot water. The property is nicely landscaped with a balcony, deck, outdoor fire place,and a private dock. Two kayaks, a canoe, and life jackets are available to explore the lake. We loved swimming in the lake and there is a drying rack in the basement for wet swimsuits.
