Such a beautiful, peaceful, and perfect place for a quiet get away. The cabin was very clean and has everything you need! The layout of the cabin is great and has amazing views of the lake.

I'm glad you found everything to be perfect for your getaway!
Paula’s house was wonderful for our family reunion - the photos don’t do it justice! There were so many different watercraft available for our use, and puzzles and games to use - and it’s clear the house is well-maintained and cared for. The lake was so peaceful - the noisiest thing was the loons! We loved our stay!
Such a great stay! The lake is beautiful and it is such a great perk to have the assortment of kayaks and canoe to use. We had a great time fishing both on the water and from the dock. The home is very roomy and comfortable, lots of movies, puzzles and games available. A great place to make memories with the family.

We're delighted you enjoyed the great views and cozy interior. The lockbox is a non-electronic rotary dial, glad we send usage instructions. :) - Paula
My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend in September. The property is lovely and offers many activities straight from the shore. We also found a bunch of nearby places to hike and a great amount of local restaurants. Paula is wonderful and communicates early and often after booking with instructions and suggestions on places to check out.

Aw, thanks, we do try to please. Glad you had a lovely time!
Our family had a wonderful vacation stay at your home in Norway, Maine! The house was beautiful, spacious, and very clean. North Pond itself was lovely. It was a perfect, peaceful place to fish, kayak, and canoe. If I could rate it higher than 5 stars, I would. We loved it!!!
It was exactly what was described.
It was exactly what we needed. The lakeview was absolutely beautiful as well as the mountain view.
It was very quiet.
I hope to stay there again in the future.
This was the third year that my family has vacationed here. The property is exactly as described. The owner has thought of everything. The house is beautiful, the pond is gorgeous and peaceful. My entire family has fallen in love with this annual vacation!

jb, this summer will be your 5th! I hope we get to meet one day, but more importantly I hope your family enjoys the new dock and swim raft this year. -Paula
If you're looking for a lovely, quiet place; on a lovely, quiet lake; in a lovely, quiet, friendly, little town in Maine, you'll be hard-pressed to find a spot that beats this one -- on each and every front. Like out of a dream.

So delighted to hear your vacation was all you hoped for!
We rented the house for one week. We needed a place to stay while in the area for a wedding. Everything was just as the renter had posted. Very clean and well taken care of. Fall is a beautiful time of the year to visit this area. We enjoyed the pond! It was very peaceful. The house fit all our needs.The renters are excellent to work with. Thanks for the great memories! Hope we can stay again.

A Perfect Week!
The house and lake exceeded our hopes. We had never been to Norway before, and were pleased to find everything was just as advertised or a little better. We had plenty of room for adult children and their significant others. Played lots of ping pong and pool, had campfires every night, kayaked every day. Bliss. Owners provided all the information we needed and were quick to answer questions.

We're happy the house and lake contributed to your blissful family vacation! Come back again :)
Wonderful spot for a kid's ice fishing trip! Walk right onto the ice to set traps and build a fire in the fire pit to watch the flags. Lots of action as the lake is full of largemouth bass. Our children had a blast chasing the flags! The house was roomie and easily accommodated our two familys. We would definitely repeat.

Glad you had a wonderful time. Backyard ice fishing is fun, as is skating and windsurfing on a sled with a sheet - an idea for your next visit ; )
We had another wonderful stay at this lake house. It is so well appointed with a variety of boats, games, and everything you could once in the kitchen. I needed a potato masher and a garlic press and they were all there! From the fire pit outside to the woodburning stove in the living room, we enjoyed the loons, the deer, and the muskrat we found kayaking around the pond. What a wonderful place to bring a family for a long weekend. Comfortable beds, a large living room with an open kitchen, and the glorious screen porch for breakfast and dinners looking out on the lake. Our seven year old believes this is “his “cabin to go to in the summer.
We were lucky enough to have a brief after Christmas vacation at the cabin. It was wonderful. We had two families (4 kids total) and it fit us with plenty of room to spare. We loved the basement which had foozball and pool and ping pong. We also took advantage of some ice fishing equipment-- we only caught a few but it entertained the kids all weekend long. Just a beautiful location and Paula was so kind and accomodating. I can't recommend it enough. We will be back!

We're glad your vacation was wonderful! Sounds like the kids will hold you to coming back, they have more fish to catch! : )
The property was great -- really enjoyed the layout of the house with the central fireplace and the view of the lake. My son really enjoyed sleeping in the top floor/loft area with a sky light directly above his bed -- he was able to fall asleep while literally gazing at the stars. Plenty of room for all and then some. We enjoyed a few days of skiing at Sunday River and some quiet time ice skating on the pond -- overall a wonderful few days in Maine!!
Paula was very helpful with providing clear check-in/check-out instructions, and some recommendations as to restaurants in the area -- she was a great host!
I would certainly return with my family to enjoy this property in any season!
We had a great time here again. Just one thing that may or may not be the norm now is that sheets / towels are not provided. That is an inconvenience but well communicated by the owner.
We had a really nice stay at this North Pond house. Very comfortable, clean, and fun. Great open gathering area, great views of pond (frozen during our stay), nice wood stove, and good communications and instructions from the host. We were there for skiing at Mt. Abram & Sunday River and had a great time.
The property was all I expected it to be. The home was clean and well cared for and located in a very peaceful neighborhood.
We were able to kayak with the loons.
The family time spent playing the games on site and creating beautiful puzzles was much needed!
There were also many sites around the area to explore and hike.
The hosts were very informative and a pleasure to work with, I would definitely rent this property again!
Loons, deer, eagles, fish, solitude and relaxation aplenty!! Awesome place for families to spend quality family time together. Remote enough to feel “away from it all” but close enough to local amenities. Kids loved the kayaks (and the adults loved them too)! Cottage was very homey and offered everything we would ever need! Loved it!
We had a fabulous time.. Paula provided all the essentials to make a waterfront vacation very exciting. Plenty of kayaks, games, and places to lounge while enjoying the water and scenery. We accommodated 6 adults and 3 kids with room to spare. Very well worth the trip and stay at the camp. We plan to return next year.
