17 individual & separated cabins share the acreage and 1500 feet of waterfront (ours is @ the end of a road, quite private & no cars driving by!). Beautiful trails for hiking/mountain biking as well as winter snow-shoeing. The complex is on Goose Pond ( which connects to 900 acre Mousam Lake)--our dock is great for swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc. Two kayaks are provided for your enjoyment on Goose Pond & Mousam Lake!The cabin has one bedroom with queen bed, 2 loft bedrooms-each with 2 twin beds, living-room with satellite TV, ample kitchen, full-sized dining area, full bathroom (shower), and large sun glass/screen in porch with sitting & dining area--with nice view of Kettle Pond & surrounding woods. Shapleigh is a small quiet town--yet only 15 min. to all your shopping needs.

Great cabin great area

Beautiful cabin in the woods. Jen is very responsive and helpful. We’ve stayed there several times and we keep going back! I hate to give it a glowing review because that will make it more popular and harder to book! Thanks Jen and Donna for your beautiful cabin.

Perfect quiet family getaway.

Beautiful cabin located on a very quiet and peaceful set of ponds. Plenty to do at the lakes, kayaking, fishing, swimming, hiking and more. The whole process was so smooth and easy. The host was great to work with and responded almost immediately to any question I had. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway to enjoy the outdoors.

Quiet and homey cabin

Well equipped and decorated. Friendly, helpful hosts who were easy to reach and responsive to our needs/questions. We have rented many cabins (and owned one) and this is one of the best. We visit family in ME and NH regularly and it is nice to have the waterfront area for activities for all ages. We hope to return on future visits!

This cabin was a very relaxing time for my family. We needed to just unwind and it was a quiet retreat for us. The cabin was very clean and beautiful. The sun room (porch) was my favorite place to sit and enjoy morning coffee. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Awesome vacation

This is our third year. We love the cabin and location. We feel at home. Very peaceful and a great getaway in nature. Our last morning we were blessed by a visit of a mother deer and two babies. Can't wait for next year. Carl

We love this cabin.

The perfect place for us to relax as well as visiting friends and family who are in the area. This is our second visit. The cabin is welcoming, clean and well equipped. Brett is very accommodating and always available for questions and suggestions for activities in the area. Needless to say, we will be back again.

Relaxing in the woods

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. I was scheduled for surgery right after vacation, so the serenity of the place was perfect! It was clean and beautiful inside and out. The only thing I would complain about was the height of the bed! I'm 4'10"!! lol Thanks for a great time!

quiet getaway in nature

There were some inconsistencies between the listing and the property owners' expectations as far as the condition we needed to leave the cabin in upon checking out. We were asked by the owner to wash our own towels and sheets. For the price I feel that all cleaning should have been covered by the owners, especially considering that we were responsible and did not leave the place a mess. We also found out upon arrival that we were responsible to take our own trash and recycling to a waste center. It would have been nice to see that in the listing instead of assuming it'd be provided. It was doubly inconvenient in that the waste center was not open on our departure day and we were supposed to be quarantining and not technically allowed to leave the cabin grounds. The owner let us leave our last day's trash but I felt that the expectations could have been clearer as many of the other listings we viewed were. Advice to the owners, please update the listing to reflect exactly what you require your renters to be responsible including some cleaning and trash. Also, advice to future renters, be advised nearly every dish in the kitchen was filthy and we spent the first 3 hours hand washing and drying. Cups in the cupboard lined with sticky orange juice, pans greasy and stuck on food. I expect that isn't a reflection on the owners but rather the previous renter. Also the bathroom floor was sticky and brown, like faint dried on mud or something, so I washed that upon arrival. This is my first time renting a privately owned cabin so maybe it is normal to find it dirty and to find actual expectations varying from the online listed ones. Just pointing it out in case anyone cares to know. Overall we had a great time and are already considering going back next year, and we recommend this cabin and the area to others.

The best!

This is our second time staying at Bret and Donna’s cabin. It is hands down the best vacation rental we have stayed in. We ran into a slight, unavoidable maintenance issue this time around, and Bret was immediately on it and got it fixed right away, frequently checking in and making sure we were comfortable. The location is quiet and peaceful, and the cabin itself is clean and well-maintained. Our only regret was that we were so busy visiting friends and family that we didn’t get to enjoy more time in the cabin itself!

Best Cabin Yet

This was our 2nd year of renting a cabin in the Shapleigh area, and it was, by far, the best experience. If you love knotty pine, you’ll love this place. The cabin, parking and access were all great. The owner was very informative and helpful. Thanks.

Relaxing and fun log cabin experience

My husband and I, along with our 17 yr old twins had a fabulous time in Bret's Maine log cabin. We had been a little worried that our teens might get bored, but no such problem. We enjoyed hanging out in the homey cabin, reading, playing games and having cookouts. We also loved the peaceful pine forest setting, hiking paths, kayaking and swimming off the dock. A pure dream vacation! Beautiful memories made that will last a life time!

Enjoyed our stay.

We chose this cabin due to proximity to friends and family in the area. The reviews were accurate and our stay was very pleasant. The cabin has everything we needed for the 2 weeks we were there. The owner, Bret was always a text away and responded to questions and suggestions very quickly. A very pretty and quiet area. We enjoyed our stay.

Piece of Home

From the moment we pulled up to the cabin, we knew we picked the right place. The inside, from top to bottom was charming and comfortable for the three of us. It was so nice waking up and having coffee and a good book out in the sunroom. With the kayaks, we were able to take our grandson out on the pond for his first time. We'll definitely return on another trip.
