Lake Front Location

Location is quiet and restful, steps from the lake. The house offers inside and outside gathering and dining locations for a small group. The first floor interior is dark, waterfront deck is bright and sunny. Without a dock swim ladder access to the water is on foot; we recommend water shoes.

Five stars!

Everything was perfect. The listing for the property was everything we were looking for, and it did not disappoint at all. It was clean, well-stocked, and a lot of nice little touches with everything we needed. Definitely roomy enough for our family of 5 and 2 dogs. The owner checked in throughout the week to make sure we had everything we needed. Loved the pool and game room at the clubhouse. Would absolutely stay there again and definitely would recommend!

Great Trip

We rented the house in Waterboro, ME to celebrate Thanksgiving with family. The house was great, cozy, and had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving. The kids loved making a fire and having smores, while us adults enjoyed watching a new generation of cousins make memories. Great house and fully stocked with everything you need!

Beautiful house! The yard was perfect for hanging out, lots of wood for the fire pit, and easy access to the lake. My dog had so much fun running in and out of lake, and we took advantage of using the kayaks, row boat, and paddle board. We saw so much wildlife at this house too- loons, deer, pheasants, bald eagles, and fish!!! The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and utensils for all our needs. The bedrooms were nice and roomy, and the bathrooms were clean and well stocked with towels. Our host, Mike, was easy to get in touch with for any questions. We had a wonderful long weekend at this house and can’t wait to go back.

Blissful peaceful lakefront getaway

Owners are very pleasant and make sure all your needs are met. The property was right on the lake and had plenty of land for the dog to explore and for us to feel we were secluded. It was so serene and peaceful. Very beautiful this time of year. Really picture perfect. The home had more room than I expected and really was so quaint. I would definitely go back next year.

Great vacation on the lake

We loved this beautiful lakefront property. The house was roomy and stocked with everything we needed, and our golden retriever found it to be very dog-friendly! The lake is private and peaceful and we enjoyed the kayaks, paddle board, and rowboats. We found some great restaurants and breweries close by, including Funky Bow brewing, Bay Haven Lobster, Town Hill Grill, and Krista’s. We also drove over to Windham to Bob’s Seafood and the Allagash and Definitive breweries, which made for a nice day trip. The owner was always available and attentive, good experience all around and we would definitely rent again!

First time rental ever!

We ventured into our first vacation rental this year and so happy we did! This property was beautiful and quiet. The owners thought of everything. It was raining the day we arrived and we were met with a warm gas fire burning, which was much appreciated. A welcome basket filled with smores ingredients also awaited us. The bathroom was stocked with essentials you may have forgotten and plenty of towels. The bedrooms were comfy and cozy. My kids and grandkids enjoyed the water and kayaks, and my son- in- law even caught a fish! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

Relaxing

We came to this area of Maine so my wife could expand her genealogy research. She had already touched base with the Limington Librarian and on this trip got to meet her and some others including some cousins. I think most people associate this part of Maine (especially in June) with blackflies and mosquitos. Well not a single one was to be found thanks to the cold and wet weather which did hinder any of our activities. There are a lot of charming towns, I think Cornish was our favorite. Fishing wasn't the greatest, one should have a boat, although my grandson came for the day and he had good luck fishing off the dock-he caught pickerel, blue gills and even a bullhead. We definitely consider staying here again!!

Older sibling reunion

We are a family of five siblings that have not had a vacation together since we were kids. One brother lives in Maine near this location so it was an ideal spot for us to spend a few days. We enjoyed the quiet surroundings and the lake was perfect…right from the backyard! Enjoyed swimming and kayaking. Mike (the host) welcomes dogs so my sister was able to bring hers and they had a lot of fun! The house was fully prepared for guests. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed and we were able to grill out a couple times.There is a large grocery within minutes to stock up. Had comfortable bedrooms that allowed for privacy and two bathrooms which is always convenient. This property exceeded our expectations.Very comfortable and welcoming and allowed us to create new memories! Would definitely rent again.

I haven't been that relaxed in a very long time.

It's not often that you find a vacation spot that ticks so many boxes and is still affordable. The house is inviting and comfortable. The neighborhood is nice quiet but it's the view and proximity to the lake that is the real star. If you are in the house you can see the lake from almost everywhere and when you go out the glass door in the back you have your own recreation area. No driving, no finding a parking spot no long hot walk in flip-flops hauling your cooler and beach chairs, Just a 50 foot walk under the shady pines and you have your own private swimming spot. Our Mini dachshund has never enjoyed water that much in her life and the kayaks and paddle board along with my canoe were used almost every day with the exception of one day when we went to Portland (less than an hour away) for shopping and some of the best dining in New England. Mike and Kathy were always in contact and easy to reach if we needed anything. They even left a S'mores kit for us and encouraged us to use the fire pit by the lake. The whole family wants to come back next year.
