Such a cute, quaint log cabin home with amazing views of Rangeley lake and Saddleback directly across the lake. This house accommodated our group of 6 adults and 2 children perfectly. Contains all the expected amenities and charming cabin decor. Would recommend and would stay in again! Thanks for having us
Overall we had a great stay! Beautiful views in a quiet area. The location was perfect as it’s half way between Rangeley center and Oquossoc. The dock was beautiful and there are plenty of seats to sit on the deck and fire pit. We definitely would love to stay here again and will be recommending it to friends and family.

A week in Rangeley
We had a great time in Rangeley, rented a boat and went out every day. Unlike Sebago Rangeley is not over crowded, Even on the weekends. The restaurant business is still struggling with help. We could not find a place to go out to dinner on Monday night, but we had a great dinner on Sunday night at the Loon Lodge.
The cabin was very comfortable, and clean. Beautiful views from the wrap around deck, Watched the stars at night and the sunrise in the morning. Making reservations for next year.

Would happily return
House is a bit smaller than the pictures make jt look but it was a perfect size for our family of 4. More than 4 would probably feel a little cramped. Home decor, privacy, location, view, all perfect! It has a nice view of the main lake but off a little from the main boat traffic. We climbed Bald Mountain and enjoyed pizza at Furbish Brew House and icecream in town. The IGA is a full grocery but with supply issues some produce we wanted was either out or expired. Worth noting: bring your own beach towels and tupperware for left overs. We had decent cell service but worth noting there is no wifi. This was our 4th Maine lake house rental and we would definitely stay here again!
The cabin is beautiful. The location couldn’t be better. We have four kids and we fit perfectly. The lakefront location is amazing. You can hear the loons loud and clear every night from the deck or the fire pit which is right on the water. The cabin has Direct TV. There is no wi-fi and the cell service is very spotty. You are directly in between downtown Rangeley and Oquassic. We absolutely loved this cabin. A+

McDonnel
McDonnell was the best fit for my family and we had an incredible week. Clean and updated, well groomed lawn, our favorite to date, also close to town . I will definitely rent again.

All Good
Very nice cabin with accommodating owners. We try and rent this every winter for a company snowmobiling trip (5 Guys - Everybody has their own bed). We are water front with a wood stove on a snowmobile path. In short - All good.
