We had a lovely stay here. House was comfortable, well stocked, and accommodated everyone well. Lots of places to sit, large dining table, great deck. Throughout the week we spent hours swimming, kayaking, and hanging out on the swimming dock.

Wonderful property. Cleanliness was top notch and it was fully stocked with anything we needed. We are very thankful to have enjoyed a week with family at this beautiful property. Hike to Hawk Mountain was great, and walks to the dairy bar were a wonderful treat. We look forward to visiting again.

Family weekend

The location was great and the house had plenty of space. Also, the kayaks and peddle boat were great amenities. Some of the beds were less comfortable than ideal, and the house was somewhat dark at night, but overall it was a great stay!

Fall getaway

Perfect location for our family fall getaway. The lake is gorgeous. Close to Fryeburg for those wanting to visit the annual fair. The house was spacious for our family of 6. I only wish the weather was a little better so we could’ve kayak the lake more. We had an excellent stay.

Perfect lake vacation

The house was great and we had a lovely time relaxing there. Very family friendly and well provisioned, including an accurate description of the bedrooms, which was very helpful. The owners were great as well and very helpful and responsive. The property and location is fantastic and we very much enjoyed the lake and hanging out at the house. Would highly recommend to anyone else!

Beautiful spot with gorgeous scenery

Fantastic property on a beautiful lake! We had a great time swimming and admiring the water, and the quick and private access to the lake made it so easy to get in whenever we wanted. We happened to get a weekend of rain, but the house was spacious, well-appointed (especially the kitchen!) and had lots of private and shared areas to enjoy time indoors. Had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend to others.

It was a pleasant stay

It was a very pleasant stay as the host was very nice and adjusted to our requests, the lake house was very beautiful and we enjoyed staying here for 2 nights. The only detail I would mention is the house could have been a lot more cleaner especially the upstairs bedrooms as it looked like it wasn’t cleaned after the previous guests had left.

Comfortable lake house

A spacious home with all the amenities we needed. Extended family of 8 had plenty of room throughout the home and a large farmhouse table for meals together. Reliable WiFi satisfied everyone. Our only regret is that out stay was too short.

Beautiful Tranquil Lakehouse Retreat

This was a 10/10. The house was beautiful and well stocked, and the part of the lake it is on is quiet so your kids can swim without worry of boat traffic. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking, and boating from Harrison Marina. There is a nice cinder running trail - road nearby and in short, it was an idyllic vacation spot.

Nice location - big house

House was nice- clean - plenty of room. Kayaks were dirty and full of rain water not stacked neatly. Grill on deck was not clean- thick layer of past uses. Location is very good and house

Beautiful peaceful Lakehouse

We simply had a wonderful time on Crytal Lake. The house is spacious, and clean, with calming atmosphere, and plenty of space downstairs for kids to play. we enjoyed kayaking, fishing, and the beautiful sunrise each morning that was coloring the lake with silver shades. Thank you!

Second time around even better

This was our second stay at the Kneeland's house, this time adding my son and his family. The 7 of us had plenty on room, but the house still felt cosy. We used the kayaks that came with the house plus some paddle boards and a double kayak we rented to set out as a flotilla on the lake with all of us, ages 12 to 78. It was great!

Quiet, comfortable, accommodating

We were happy to be returning to this property because it's conveniently located, comfortable, and we love being on the lake. Everything was as we remembered, except the cleaning crew was not quite up to snuff. We addressed this with the homeowner and they said they will address it with the cleaner. Lovely spot for a fall weekend!
