Lovely stay

The property was as advertised and a lovely place to stay. It was a little buggy, and the sailboat didn't work very well, but the lake was lovely and the home very comfortable.

The place was really nice and the setting was beautiful. It's located on a lake with hills in the back, with blueberry fields. There were three loons on the lake, a parent and young twins. Everything about the place was idyllic. And the host was incredibly friendly and accommodating. You'll love it.

Great spot for Family vacation

We had a great time with our family. Ages ranged from 4-70 and everyone had a comfy place to sleep and an activity (games, puzzles, paddling, playground etc.) to enjoy. This was a prefect spot for us, and although we wished it was sunny and warm the entire time, we had fun on the beautiful porch and stayed dry and warm by the fire!

Joanna! Thank you for the lovely review. I peeked at the weather a few times and kept trying to manifest sunshine over the house! And, while I knew that the porch and fireplaces would be cozy and wonderful to gather and play games and be together, I too was wishing for some sunshine for you to enjoy. You were a delight and we hope you all get home safely and take the beautiful memories with you. Warmly, Christina

Our family of five had a wonderful time at this very special property. Comfortably outfitted with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and memorable. From the water toys to fishing from the dock, spacious kitchen, and outdoor patios, to the outdoor fire pit - this place was awesome. Highly recommend for that perfect lake side vacation retreat.

Lovely in every way..

Our group of friends had an amazing long weekend in Searsmont. Christina was a very responsive and kind host, she truly wanted us to have a memorable experience. The lake is peaceful, and full of watercraft for everyone to enjoy. The house had so many amenities, and was beautifully decorated. The screened porch was so inviting and comfy, a great place to hang out or sip your coffee in the morning. Overall, it was an easy, fun and restful stay. Highly recommend!

Worth Repeating, Again and Again.

We just got back from a great vacation at Larry’s Pond, Christina’s EXCLUSIVE FAMILY COMPOUND LAKE HOUSE & CABINS, and we could not be happier. The adults hung out on the beautiful clean private grounds and awesome fire pit while the younger children play in the crystal clear water and kept themselves busy fishing and we all spent the most relaxing mornings out on the boats. We loved the decks on all three cabins in front, perfect for coffee in the morning. Everything was just right. We absolutely loved all three Lakeside Cottages and had an amazing time. Beautiful Lake view and a great beach. It was very relaxing just what we needed, and the best part is our kids loved it. We cannot wait to come back again! Thanks Again for a wonderful vacation!!!

A wonderfully relaxing weekend

We absolutely loved the outdoor fireplace on the back porch. The owner has added heavy plastic sheathing to the back porch which turns that space into an amazing place to gather relax and enjoy the outdoors in February in Maine. We kept the outdoor fire going so it was warm in the back porch “snow globe”. We had the inside fire going for ambiance for the members of our group that were less inclined to be out on the porch and we made great use of the remarkable kitchen. We brought our supplies and created wonderful meals. The support staff helped clear the snow and made sure the property was ready for our group. A secluded and relaxing weekend was exactly what we needed and what we found in Searsmont. We left refreshed with a new set of great memories for our group.

A special place....

This is a special place....I just felt it as soon as I drove up. The grounds are beautiful. The house and cabins are wonderfully done. You will feel it. We so enjoyed it as a family gathering. The screened in porch was large enough that we could gather out there and eat all together as well as get together for games in the evening.. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need. Everyone enjoyed cooking in it. We enjoyed the fire pit as well as the lake. It is peaceful...quiet...and the sound of the loons greeted us most mornings. We had 3 families as well as ourselves and always felt there was plenty of room. The kids loved the yard to run around in. I highly recommend a stay at this special place.

Three Generations Gathering Together

Thank you so much for sharing your home with our family. We enjoyed your special slice of heaven on earth... We were able to watch our families interact with laughter and tears, Fearless moments jumping off the "Kids Floating Island". Confidence was built and relationships strengthened. Knees were skinned and legs bruised. A half marathon was raced and many miles were hiked and jogged. We caught fish and were pampered in the spas. And we ate, and ate, and ate some more... Food prepared by others, food prepared together, and creative leftover original recipes were tried. Thank you for being willing to let us use your home to make new memories for our family. Most Warmly

Beautiful Property

We had a great time staying in this family friendly compound. Loved that we had access to paddle boards and kayaks. The lake was lovely. We did not realize that the property was not air conditioned and the week that we were staying the humidity was really high and the cabins got very warm. The other issue for our group was there was no microwave, so when we wanted to heat anything up we had to heat it on the stove which added to the heat in the cabin as well as the number of dishes that we had to wash. The lighting was not good in the interior gathering space. It was to dim at night to work on our puzzle so we did not get to finish it during our trip. Loved the screened in porch and the table where we could all sit and eat dinner. Over all good location.

Dear Peggy and family, thank you for your review. We are here to serve our renters and aspire to make family holidays perfection. I only wish I had known about your concerns while you were here. We would gladly have brought in a microwave for you had we know. As well weld have brought in some lamps for lighting. We had not been asked for these things before but will take into consideration and it breaks my heart we didn’t know how warm you were we’d have also brought you more fans. If you’d like to speak please feel free to call me. I’m glad you liked the lake and environs. Thank you for taking time to comment and again I’m here if you’d like to speak.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

I booked this for my 40th birthday celebration, there were 11 of us and it felt like adult summer camp! The house and cabins are straight out of a magazine. There are about a million small touches everywhere that make it all feel super cozy and it's immaculately clean. The property is amazing - super private and very quiet. The lake is stunning. The stars are unbelievable. Even though we were a large group we never felt cramped - there is plenty of space for everyone to be together or to wander off on their own for their own adventures. We kayaked every day, sat around the fire, laughed and played games. As if all of that wasn't enough - the host and caretakers were phenomenal. Christina, Mindy and Jenny made planning this group event so easy for me - they were super responsive, provided a ton of recommendations, and were very flexible and easy going. I sincerely appreciated all of their hard work - it truly added to how special this trip was. If you are looking for an incredible property for a Maine vacation, just stop now and reserve this today, you won't regret it!

Great Family Gathering Place

Christina’s Way looks exactly like the pictures except they have added some great new picnic tables, rockers and benches outside. You instantly feel calm when you look out at the lake and inhale the cool air. We had 13 people and had more than enough room to spread out and still enjoy the communal spaces. Having the paddle boards and kayaks was great- several days we never left the camp. My husband and daughter caught so many fish they just stopped. That has never happened. Ever. There was plenty of wood and we had a fire outside when it wasn’t raining and on the porch when it was. The kitchen was large and well equipped and we only ate out one night. Tons of games and movies for all ages. We added to the collection. The lake is still a bit chilly but a few of us got in anyway. It’s a great halfway point for day trips to Acadia, Belfast, and Camden. 5 of them went and played golf at Samoset Resort and loved the scenery. It’s something you HAVE to put on your bucket list!

To receive such kind words from you so swiftly was doubly touching and welcome! I was smiling when reading about the fishing. We call the lake fishing heaven!!!! We’re so glad you all had the best time a d we appreciate the nod to all the new additions. Sorry that the dumpster company didn’t get the pick up. I’ve called them and yelled at them. Haha. Maine misses you! You are now a part of our Maine family. Wishing you all the best warmest regards. With gratitude. Christina.
