Another Great Week

This was our third stay and best yet! The addition of the dock was just great. Our kids loved fishing off it, jumping off it and just sitting there dipping in their toes. It’s such a pleasure staying here and communicating with Jeanne was easy as ever. We had a wonderful week!

Lovely home and host

Absolutely loved staying at this property. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The location is nice, the lake view and access were great. We had a ball kayaking and paddle boating on the nice days and enjoyed the rainy days inside playing games and watching movies, cooking in the lovely kitchen. If you enjoy antiquing, there are some great shops nearby as well. Can't wait to return!

Comfortable and cozy, perfect for birdwatching!

Great spot to relax and spend time with family. Everything you need to cook, play games, fish and spend time on the beautiful lake. We saw many birds and waterfowl, the loons are our favorite! Very clean and fit the 6 of us perfectly, the 1/2 bath in the laundry room was really helpful. Bonus was 5 antiques stores within one mile of the house! Jeanne was a great host, very helpful and responsive, would highly recommend!

Best of Maine Lakefront Living

Really enjoyed this beautiful location on the lake. We kayaked everyday while attending the Windsor Fair in the afternoons and evenings. Jeanne was a wonderful hostess and was super responsive to any questions we had. Kevin was the property manager and was equally responsive and easy to work with. Thank you for sharing your property with us and we will be back!!

Week on 3 mile pond

I traveled with my 3 kids and pets, and the house itself was wonderful with all the amenities you could want. We did a couple of day trips to Belfast & Camden which are within an hour of the house. We also did a couple of day trip hikes that were nearby as well. Hannaford is 5 minutes away which is so convenient. The neighbor Dennis was very nice but I was not anticipating the houses to be so close. Overall great time with family and friends.

This is a great home base to explore the surrounding towns including Hallowell, Gardiner, Belfast and Damariscotta. The house was very well stocked with everything we could've needed and more. Enjoyed swimming and kayaking, and spent lots of time playing board games on the deck. The breeze coming off the lake was idyllic!
