For the last 10-15 years my wife and I have rented lakeside properties in the mid-Maine area. While none of our previous rentals were in any way disappointing, Take a Rest at Pine Point was, without doubt, the best equipped for a relaxing stay. We very much enjoyed the 12 days we spent there and hope to return in the future.

Amazing little cabin tucked away on a beautiful lake. Have everything a person would need for a few days to a week. Cabin owners are the most delightful hosts. So much amazing hiking in many directions within an hour and a half. Hiked to the top of Barnard mountain which overlooks Katahdin peak. Absolutely breathtaking, but does require about a three hour round-trip hike with .8 miles up moderate terrain. Also can do ATV riding in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter.

Tak-A-Rest exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely beautiful. The cabin was well stocked and had everything we needed for a fun stay on the pond and then some. An awesome place for families! We saw and heard loons everyday and saw eagles. We had so much fun! Linda and Paul were great hosts and you can tell they put thought and care into their guests! Would absolutely recommend

This is a nice cozy cabin perfect for a small group. It’s nice to wake up and have a lake view. The town is large enough where you can find just about anything you might need. While the cabin is in town, the location makes you feel like you’re away from town. I chose this area as it’s centrally located to make excursions in whichever direction you choose. I happened to visit when the leaves were in full color, which was a bonus. If you’re a golfer, the Jato Highlands golf course was nice. The greens are unusually small, so bring your chipping game. Highway 11 was a nice scenic drive up to Fort Kent, which is located at the Canadian border and is the northern end of US 1. And of course US 1 goes through or near all the coastal towns. The Cutler Coast trails will lead you to some amazing coastal views. The host is very easy to work with. There are several brochures of local places to visit and explore if you’re not familiar with what is available nearby.

Perfect Maine Camp Getaway

This historic camp, located right on the edge of beautiful Mattanawcook Pond, has been updated and improved to include all of today's conveniences. Despite feeling private and serene, it is very close to goods and services. The hosts were very helpful in making arrangements for our stay and sharing their enthusiasm for this lovely spot.

Thank you for the five star review. I’m glad that you appreciated the updates made to the cottage. They were made with love and appreciation for the cabin’s historical integrity. We appreciate your business. It helps make the needed repairs of a hundred plus year old cottage possible. Also 10% of the rent is donated to Go Time Ministries.

Family favorite

We had such a peaceful and restful stay at Tak-A-Rest. The spot is very private and secluded feeling while still being close to town. The lake is beautiful and the kids loved swimming. The camp itself is very comfortable with every detail well thought out and the owners are wonderful to work with. This is a true gem, our only regret is that I didn’t book for longer.

Relaxing getaway

It was a pleasure to stay at Tak-a-Rest. From the beginning of the process when dealing with Linda and arranging the rental right up to our last minutes relaxing in the Adirondack chairs enjoying morning coffee by the water before we departed- everything was easy and perfect. The hosts have thought of everything you may need and the house is very well stocked. It was very peaceful and we had a wonderful and restful trip.

Relaxing vacation in the most pleasant setting!

Words really can't describe one of our better vacations in a long time! Swam everyday and kayaked all around the lake and in the feeder stream. Day trips to Acadia NP, Bar Harbor and we also did the Katahdin loop/Baxter SP. This cottage is beautiful; the water access and relaxing porch top our list! The property has everything you need and the hosts Linda and Paul were great to deal with.

Pure Relaxation

It was the first time my wife and I actually vacationed alone, usually with the kids or friends. The camp was so quiet and secluded that we could just relax, read, play cribbage or just take a nap. It was a much needed week of alone time for us both. Thank you for being such gracious hosts and hope to come back again.

relaxing,peaceful,and exactly what you want in a vacation rental:clean,well stocked beyond what you'd expect, and directions where to find everything you want from the toaster to local stores. No regular TV or internet adds to a very calming experience! If the unexpected should happen there is a hospital a few miles from the camp. All in all, a perfect spot!

A PERFECT GETAWAY!

It was a total joy from the minute we arrived! Every window in the cabin has a view of the lake. It was equipped with EVERYTHING you would need. The cabin was spotless and very comfortable. Falling asleep to the sounds of the loons and waking up to the morning sunrise across the lake was breathtaking! Nights by the firepit, fishing, ribs on the grill or lunch on the picnic table overlooking the lake are just a few things to enjoy. Owners Linda and Paul were the ultimate hosts. We will definitely be back!

Rejuvenating stay at Tak A Rest!

What fun we had at Tak A Rest! Our two kids, ages 10 and 12 had a blast swimming in the lake, watching ducks and loons, taking rides in the paddle boat and s'mores by the beautiful camp fire while watching the sunset. The cabin was super clean and felt like home. The lake and cabin are actually even better than the photos in the listing. Linda was awesome to communicate with and was very welcoming via correspondence over text messages. Anything we forgot to bring with us was already there and easy to find. We only wish our 5 nights didn't go so fast!

My GF and I were in need of a place to escape and relax and this cabin was perfect!! As soon as we arrived it immediately felt like home. It was so clean and comfortable. Linda has thought of everything and the place was completely stocked with anything you could think of. All we needed were a few groceries for our week long stay. The location was perfect and felt like we were on our own private lake. For the size of the lake we only saw maybe 2 boats each day. We had 2 day trips planned to baxter state park and bar harbor/acadia, both about 90 minutes away. Other than that, we enjoyed our quiet days sitting around a campfire and relaxing. We are already planning our next trip back to this cabin. Would highly recommend!! Thank you linda!!

Definition of Tak-A-Rest

A slice of heaven here on earth! We could not have picked a better place to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary. Linda and Paul are gracious and more than accommodating hosts. A thoughtful and generous welcome package, providing a VCR so we could watch our wedding video and a beautiful cabin on the water stocked with everything you could possibly need. The peace and quiet, the beauty of the surroundings and the calling of the loons will be something be for the memory books! Thank you Paul and Linda for sharing this!

Diamond in the rough

Our stay was absolutely perfect. The location was the best, serene and beautiful, picture perfect! Great wildlife, sunrises, and sunsets. The owners were extremely thoughtful and mindful of all the necessities needed, literally, for a vacation on the lake for anyone traveling from another location. The only thing we had to pickup at the grocery store was food and drinks. The grocery store and downtown was close, yet far enough away that the only thing you heard were the sounds of the water, loons, and other wildlife. I just cannot say enough, there isn’t enough room and we want to make sure it’s not booked up next summer. We would definitely love to come back! Thank you so much!

Absolute Relaxation!

We loved everything about our trip. The location is just spectacular - you feel as if you are completely alone, yet it’s a three minute ride to groceries, drug Store and gas station. The cabin has everything you need for cooking, games, puzzles and books for rainy days, and all kinds of equipment for water fun. I enjoyed floating in the water in one of the mesh chairs while my husband fished. Just be aware the “town” is nothing more than a few stores and a handful of restaurants (and the sidewalks roll up at 9:00!) and there is no Wi-Fi so bring movies if that is important to you (although there is a video library as well). We preferred to sit out by the fire listening to the loons and watching the spectacular sunsets. Thank you to the owners for sharing this lovely property - it truly was an amazing experience!

Incredible!!

This listing is absolutely incredible! I was looking for a place near Bar Harbor/ Acadia National Park initially and this was the closest location (2 hours away). My friends and I spent a few days at this listing before heading to Bar Harbor and we ended up not wanting to leave Tak-a-Rest! All of the reviews are accurate and Linda & Paul's listing will meet up to your expectations & even more! Everything was well-stocked and clean. I cannot begin to describe the beautiful scenery when it comes to the lake and sunset. There were so many amenities included to keep you occupied indoors & outdoors. My favorite was the bonfire & all the provided kindling, fishing rods & bait, and the paddleboat & canoe! I also appreciated the convenience of stores nearby, such as Walgreens, Walmart, Hannaford, and gas stations. My friends and I enjoyed the local thrift store and eating breakfast at Cindy's County Kitchen! We also loved taking pictures with the giant Loon in town! Linda was quick to answer my questions and was very kind over the phone. it is clear that Tak-a-Rest is well taken care of and my friends and I felt right at home. We cannot wait to come back again! Thank you Linda & Paul for a wonderful experience :)
