Great stay

We had a wonderful stay at Pinewoods. Mother nature wasn't on our side, but the house was big enough to accommodate us all and give us some space when we had cabin fever. The lake was very clean, and the property was very shady, so stayed cool during the day when the sun was actually out. The house was equipped with everything needed.

A lovely two weeks

The house was immaculately clean. The kitchen was perfectly stocked and the pinewood path that led to the lake beckoned. Our family of 5 adults and one child fit the house perfectly. 3 generations of a family could not have had a better time in this rustic and comfortable home.

Beautiful location but not what I expected.

We just returned from a week at Pinewoods. The location is nice, a short 15 mins drive to downtown Bridgton. Peaceful wooded setting. The pond is great. Very clear and clean water. My kids enjoyed the dock, the jumping dock and the row boat. We spent our days on the water. The main issues related to the house cleaning, we found it uncleaned upon our arrival, food in fridge and very dirty with spills and crumbs, the floor had crumbs all over, the table had food crumbs and we found peanuts all over the porch cushions ( we have a peanut allergy child). We spent our first few hours cleaning the home. The owner was very responsive to our concerns with the cleanliness and spoke to the cleaners immediately. The furniture in the family room upstairs is very weathered. Lots of stains and fading. Both bathroom sinks upstairs were very backed up as was the master bedroom shower. The fridge upstairs did not work for a portion of our stay, thankfully there was a back up fridge in the basement. The owners did get someone out to address the fridge within a few days. Again, the owners were very attentive. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need for a week of cooking. The downstairs closet was full of board games which the kids used all week long. The biggest issue for my family, was the dampness in the downstairs, which is where 2 of the bedrooms are located. The twin room never dried out, the carpet was damp the entire week, even with a dehumidifier running non stop, a fan and windows open. My kids came home sick. The morning we were packing up we noticed some mold behind one of the beds. The house did have a lot of space and accommodated our group well. We also did have a bat in the home, likely would have been found if the cleaners had done a better job of cleaning the property. I believe if the few issues are taken care of this property really would be a great vacation spot.

Great choice for multi-generational group

Very clean, well-stocked house. Perfect set-up for our group of 9, with 3 families, including 3 young children. Open floor plan on main level allowed kids to play and be seen by adults. 2 sleeping levels , plus screened porch with door helped with nap times. Walk down to the little beach was so convenient. The kids loved the foosball table. We also enjoyed the larger beach at Highland Lake in Bridgton, just 15 minutes away and some area hikes. Roger was considerate and responsive.

Great location, very nice home. Disappointed that tables and surfaces were dirty post pandemic. We had a great time at the lake and we missed that the linens were not included until after seeing the rental contract. Should be noted on listing!

Great house for family with children

We had a fantastic week away with little children at this house. The house was hot during the heat wave and there is only one air conditioner but the lake is beautiful. We did get a call from the neighbors saying we were too loud...our party was four adults with six sleeping children so we felt the call was unnecessary. Sally and Roger were great and easy to work with.

Beautiful week on Moose Pond

The property was just great and exactly as advertised. We so enjoyed walking down to the water and sitting on the dock or swimming in the clear water. It's located in a pretty quiet part of the lake. The kitchen is well stocked. The bedrooms are comfortable as are the beds. All good! I would return.

Nestling between a mountain and a lake

It's called Moose Pond, but it's really the size of a small lake. Beautifully appointed home with everything you need. We did not use canoes (had our kayaks) but did use the rowboat--just to remind ourselves how much fun a rowboat can be. Mountain trail close by....steep! but well marked. Place is private and easily accessible, and town (Bridgton) has great shops, bookstore, farmer's market, coffee shop, so much more. Owners provided a multitude of info (brochures) as well as helpful instructions for light switches, appliances, etc. Caught a large bass right off the dock (threw it back in) and heard a great horned owl. No mosquitoes---honest! I could write a longer review, but basically, it's all good.

A lovely lake house!

Lovely house and waterfront. Roger and Sally were helpful the entire time we were there. FYI: the property is East-facing so the beach/dock doesn't get much/any sun in the afternoon. This isn't necessarily bad, just worth knowing if you're a sun-worshiper! The house is private, quiet, and well-stocked with anything you might need (including games, water toys, fans, and a baby gate for the stairs, thank goodness!). Just don't forget your linens like we did...oops!

Great Time

This was a much needed vacation for our family this year. The house was spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed. It accommodated my husband and myself, two daughters with spouses, a toddler and an infant. The bedroom setup with two up and two down worked out great for us. My son in law brought his pontoon boat and the lake was great for fishing. There are sandbars around the lake which was fun for getting out of the boat and swimming. Roger the owner was very nice and kept us up to date with the rules concerning the Covid crisis and was available for any questions and concerns. Back to the real world but thankful for the week.

Great spot for kids to swim and go fishing

The waterfront and property is nicer than it appeared in the listing photos. It is perfect for kids that like to swim and go fishing. We canoed a lot, which was plenty boating for the kids. If you have a speed boat, I'd suggest bringing it. A bunch of families were tubing on the lake and having a good time on the weekends. During the regular work week, we seemed to be the only family there.

Ideal Vacation

We had a great time at Pinewoods during our stay recently. The home was clean, very well stocked and with very good instructions. Roger was very easy to work with and helped us navigate through the whole Covid requirements. The activities for kids & adults were plenty. Fooseball table, books, classic movies for a rainy day - we had few of those - swimming, canoeing on the lake, fire pit for the evenings were all perfect. Access to a medium/hard hiking was right across the street. Overall it was a very good experience and we'd rent this place without any hesitation.

great family getaway

pinewoods was welcoming from the minute we walked in the door.there was enough room for ourselves,our adult kids,and grandkids to have time all together comfortably and enough private space to have privacy when it was bedtime.there were plenty of activities to keep our family occupied including board games,swimming,boating,and hiking. the hiking trail (pleasant mountain) that is a stones throw away from the top of the driveway is the only reason we left pinewoods unless we had to go to the market.we felt like we were away from it all altho when we went into bridgton it was nice that it was only a 15 min drive.thank you roger and sally for sharing your wonderful property.

A peaceful spot

We enjoyed a lovely week at Pinewoods. The house is spacious and well cared for. The open floor plan on the main level made it comfortable and easy to gather with beautiful views of the lake. The kitchen had all of the necessary amenities and we enjoyed our meals on the large screened-in porch. We appreciated the air conditioning unit in the master bedroom for sleeping during the few very hot days of our stay. We spent much of our time in and by the lake, accessed by a narrow meandering path from the house. For sitting, there are a few small shaded areas on the shore and a spacious dock. We were able to enter the water either via a small sandy/pebbly area at the shore or the dock. The lake was generally quiet with friendly neighbors, kayaks and canoes, but also some jet skiers and water skiers. Roger and Sally were easy to rent from, responding promptly to our questions in advance, leaving notes for home care in the house, and staying in touch during our stay.

PineWoods on Moose Pond is an absolutely beautiful vacation place. Great for up to 10 guests!

We’ve vacationed in the Sebago region for over 15 years now and Moose Pond is surely among our favorite lakes. PineWoods has ample lakefront to offer privacy without feeling secluded. You will be about ten minutes from the town of Bridgton, a classic New England charmer. PineWoods offers a very nicely maintained home with four bedrooms, a game-room, a great kitchen and dining area, a beautiful screened porch, ample deck space, a fire pit, and enchanting forested pathways leading to MoosePond only steps away. The water is crystal clear and free from an over abundance of rocks so boating is a pleasure. Without question this is among our favorite vacation spots.

The way life should be

This is our third visit to Maine, and this was, by far, the nicest home we have stayed in. It was very clean and spacious. We never felt crowded. The kitchen is well stocked, and there were enough fans to keep us cool at night. The family room with the fuse ball table was fun for the boys. My parents enjoyed the screened in patio and the deck. At night, we used the fireplace and there's plenty of seating outside. Moose Pond is beautiful and a perfect place to fish, water ski, paddle board or just relax on the doc. The little town of Brigton is very quaint with a few restaurants and shops.
