We had a perfect extended family getaway by the lake. The sandy beach, dock and paddle gear made our stay so much fun! The in-law apartment worked out great to give us all space while still being so close.

Clean, hip, serene.

It was a wonderful stay at Peters property. His communication was top notch. We really couldn’t be happier with the place, as it greatly exceeded our expectations. Being right on the lake at this time of year was simply wonderful. Every detail was thought about and if we are every back in the area, we will definitely look this property up.

A little piece of paradise

This cozy and stylish lakeside house has everything you need. It's beautifully and comfortably furnished and well stocked with all the necessities. The lake, just steps from the house, has a paddle boat, canoe, and paddle boards. The Shaker Village a few minutes' drive away is fascinating. Can't wait to visit again.

Well provisioned, comfortable, wonderful location

We had a wonderful time. The cottage is very comfortable and the lake is very close. I had to drag the kids out of the lake most days. Great location close to Portland, Freeport, the western mountains, etc. Clearly the owner understands what people want in a vacation place and he has provided it. Thanks for a great two weeks.

Excellent lake front house

My wife and two daughters just finished our weekend stay and we had an absolute blast. The beach and dock were excellent. There were plenty of water toys and the water is crystal clear. The grocery store is close, the Maine Wildlife park is just down the road, and it's not far off I95 so it made for a pretty great weekend getaway. We will hopefully be back next summer. Thank you Peter!

Everything you could possibly need for the perfect Maine vacation!

This property exceeded our expectations; the cottage has all the amenities, and the lake view was amazing! The owner, Peter, was so kind to check in with us after we first arrived to ensure that we had everything we needed...really appreciated that personal touch! Our only regret is that we did not have an opportunity to use the wonderful outdoor space the owner has created for guests as we were constantly "on the go" with local family. We would definitely rent this cottage again!

Beautiful House!

This house is absolutely beautiful, well maintained, clean, and stocked better than any other rental house we have ever stayed in! The owner, Peter, lives close by and is very welcoming and at the ready to help should you need anything; he really made us feel like family during our stay. One night we were going to grill and the propane tank ran out; Peter came by with a new tank in no time and we were on our way to enjoying burgers. We are looking forward to the chance to stay here again!

Beautiful & Peaceful Lake House

This is an incredible property if you are lucky enough to be in the area. The house is cozy and well stocked with all the comforts of home. The view from both units is gorgeous. The beach access is large with plenty of room to hang out or partake in many water activities, which the owner has provided. The location is nice and quiet. We had a hard time leaving! Peter the owner is very friendly and accommodating.

Peacefull vacation

Very clean and well supplied with everything needed for a relaxing week. The owner was available for questions when needed, but was not at all intrusive. The dock was not available due to the excessive rain, but Peter made arrangements with a neighbor to use their dock for our boat. Very nice.

This a beautiful property on a clean, quiet lake.

Peter’s property is nicely updated with tasteful decor and is well stocked with everything you could need; from kitchen supplies, to beach towels, even beach toys for the kids. The lake is clean and quiet and the beach in front of the property is large and great for kids to play on. We enjoyed multiple meals with our large extended family on the outdoor eating spaces. Having a grill to use was awesome. Peter was attentive to all our needs. Thank you Peter for an amazing vacation spot!

The view can't be beat. The cabin was clean and very cute. Our only complaint was that the bed was very soft and bouncy for our taste and we considered sleeping on the mattress on the floor upstairs but didn't want to be that far from the bathroom (old people problems). We used a couple of the kayaks to cruise out on the calm waters in the morning and loved hearing the loons. We didn't realize the beach was shared and was surprised to see a couple of ladies swimming out there when we woke up. We had plans and were in and out a lot that weekend... but when we were there... we were on that beach gazing at that beautiful lake. I bet it's stunner in the fall when the leaves change!

Simply perfect lake house!

This place is incredible! A great location right on Sabbathday lake but also in terms of proximity to Portland and surrounding towns. The view from the living room over the lake is amazing - especially at sunrise! My husband and I rented this and Peters next door property for our friends and family to stay at leading up to our wedding - it was the perfect setup that allowed everyone a comfortable place to sleep while providing the perfect spaces to hang out together. Everything was perfect during our stay and Peter was an A+ host - very accommodating and quick to respond leading up to our stay. We are definitely coming back!!

Wonderful summer stay!

Peter was very responsive and easy to work with. The house was clean and well kept. The downstairs studio was a plus. Peter also gave a lot of thought into the supplies within the house and outside. He had firewood, candles, insect candle, water bucket to wash your feet off before entering the house, water tubes, everything for the kitchen and bath. It was a wonderful stay and it would be my pick again for years to come.
