The hosts are wonderful and get back to you quickly. The house was comfortable and the open floor plan on the first floor is well done. The kitchen was better stocked than most places we have stayed. The location in Maine was perfect for us and we hope to visit again in summer to enjoy long lake.

Great place for a family gathering

This was a great property for bringing together the 3 generations of the family! Plenty of open area for talking, playing, eating etc. and a great location for making the most of the Maine lakes region. My favorite thing was the very long dining table that could seat all 14 of us for meals as well as facilitate multiple board games at once.

Excellent

Beautiful property, exactly as advertised, was perfect for our family to have a home base as we visited some extended family in Harrison. Very spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated, extremely well-stocked kitchen, so many toys for the kids (my 2.5 year old was thrilled!). The kitchen was great for preparing and eating family meals. The hosts were very responsive and nice!! Also amazing that it was dog-friendly. Highly recommend.

Hidden gem

Thirteen of us stayed very comfortably at this home. Plenty of room for kids to play upstairs while adults were together downstairs or by the fire. Wide range of age appropriate games and toys for everyone. The beach was amazing and just a quick drive down the road. We scooted over to NH for tubing down the Saco River one day. Very happy with this find and look forward to returning next year!

Camp Farm house

We had an amazing say Labor Day weekend 2023. The listing was not only accurate, but above expectations! Plenty of room for all of our guests. Quiet, beautiful property, dog friendly and amazing fire pit to enjoy with friends and family. The spacious farm style living was perfect for a get together and also enjoyed the down time! We would stay here again and again!

Our stay was a little short, but overall we enjoyed our stay. We where visited by wild turkeys 🦃 and large black ants 🐜 in the kitchen area. Early summer pest. We will love to revisit the location in the fall. And their lake location

Great space. Modern amenities without taking away from the beauty that is Harrison. Thoughtful home - amazing supply of wood for the fire pit, sheets included, and just a bunch of little things that made this a special trip. Highly recommend, just don't book it during our return trip next summer! Even when we needed help, the host team was super responsive and helpful. The games too were a big hit and allowed for quality non-screen time with the kids. Need to figure out where we can get our own dice board.

Good spot, great communication, no hot tub

This is a good property. It was clean, had a well-appointed kitchen, and the location is great for enjoying anything the Lakes Region has to offer. The managers were very communicative and easy to work with. The only reason this is 4 stars is we did feel a little misled by the listing. There is definitely no hot tub at this property. There's a nice big bath tub, which can be filled with hot water, but that doesn't make a hot tub. It also claims to sleep 14, and unless those are small children or very friendly adults, that's a stretch.Overall a good experience, but some disappointment was felt when there was no hot tub on the property.

We can't say enough good things about this home! We loved everything about it. It was perfect for staying with our kids and grandkids and even pet-friendly. We loved the huge dining room table where we could eat, play games, and work on puzzles. Also loved all the comfortable seating in the living room and the gigantic TV. We knew there were going to be some toys but had no idea there would be so many quality toys and games-- our grandsons never got bored! The loft area upstairs it's such a cute play area and second living room/office combination. The beds and rooms were very comfortable. We really loved the outdoor space too, especially the covered patio with nice table for eating, the grill, and the firepit. The kids loved the big tub for baths too! The whole house was super clean and comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and it was so easy to just settle right in. It's also really close to Harrison, Bridgton, Long Lake, Sebago Lake, Crystal Lake. We chose to try out a different lake & beach each day and they ranged from being 5 minutes to 30 minutes drive. Sebago Lake State Park and Tassel Top Park are especially beautiful and not too far to get to. I highly recommend this property. Thank you so much for letting us stay!
