Vacation by the water with family

This was a nice place to stay during the hot days of July when we were there. Walking distance to water! Place had plenty of room for us and our dog. Everything we needed in the kitchen, plus fire pits and a nice dock. Host was super communicative and helpful.

Peaceful getaway

The cabin was a nice little getaway from daily life. The hosts were easy to contact and super nice, and gave a great place to meet up with some old friends to catch up. Weather sitting at one of the firepits, or hanging out by the dock. It was the perfect mix of remote and yet still within a 15 minute drive from a few stores in case you need anything. There are a few nice hiking trails near by, including a short one with a great view at French Mountain. The neighborhood was also super friendly, all the neighbors waved and said hello. Definitely would book again.

The house and property is very falsely advertised, no mountain views or water views. The water is down a long very steep hill driveway around a couple corners and across the street and then down a path and down another steep hill to the water. Kayaks and cables were very dirty, filled with spiders, acorns and dirt. There were not enough kayak paddles. The kitchen is on the 2nd floor upstairs. The beds were all unmade and had mouse POOP all over them, I took pictures of EVERYTHING. The outdoor chairs were unsafe, 2 of them up at the house were ripped, the wooden ones down by the water are very old and wobbly. There were nails sticking up on the deck, rotted boards on both decks. The owner took a while to respond at times and seemed rude and did not make our stay better. She did offer a refund if we chose to leave but we couldn't find any other rentals around the same price and dates last minute. Bring your own sheets and blankets if you don't want to have to get up extra early to do laundry before 10am checkout. Owner tried to kick us out halfway through our week stay, told me she had guests and a cleaner arriving that day and I told her I don't think so, we paid for the 14th-21st. I honestly can't think of one good thing to say about this property. Will never rent this one again.

Great quiet location

Property is very well maintained. The walk to the dock was a little longer than I anticipated, but not terrible. It was so lovely being able to bring our dogs to enjoy vacation with us. Check out instructions were a lot, but Stephanie was great with communication. Overall, a wonderful family vacation stay!

Amazing Labor Day Retreat!

I could not recommend staying here more! If you are looking for some peace and quiet and a place to reset, this property is definitely the place to go and recharge! The house is so lovely and impeccably clean. The dock and lake were such a treat and where my sister and I spent most of our days enjoying the kayaks and swimming and taking in the gorgeous views of the lake and the trees. We had such a great time using the outdoor grill and eating al fresco. I would highly suggest booking this place if you have a chance!

Hurricane Lee!!!

The property listing could use some updating, as the house is not lakefront, nor does it have mountain views. That being said, the house was impeccably clean and warm and welcoming! Stephanie and Mike were very gracious hosts throughout our bout with hurricane Lee when we lost power less than 12 hours into our stay, offering refund, generator, etc…whatever we needed. We managed to make coffee and cinnamon rolls on the gas grill the next morning (thank god!!) and just played games by flashlight/candlelight. Would definitely return again.

Family vacation

The host was wonderful! Great communication and very friendly. Stephanie checked in to make sure we had what we needed. Walmart is 16 minutes away as well as Dunks. Have you tried the new Mocha Wipped coffee? Yum. Sand Pond is just that, a pond. Dont let the name fool you! No sand at the bottom only muck. I suggest water shoes or floaties. Be sure to admire the Loons from a distance or ask Stephanie to use the kayaks! The property offered ideal privacy and room for our dogs to play. The water is a bit of a walk down the rocky driveway. If you have elderly with you, you may want to drive them up and down. Lots of towels and dishes to use. Dishwasher, TVs, AC and washer/dryer all worked properly. Some of the lights didnt work but plenty of natural light. Enjoy your stay!!! w

Labor Day weekend

Communication was good and the lake was beautiful but however mountain and lake views were nonexistent from home and it looked like no one has been there to maintain the property in a long time. We pre requested the use of the kayaks and canoes as suggested but they seem like they have not been used all summer full of leaves and spiders 🙅‍♀️ Overall we are an easy family and made the best of our stay and happy we had this time together. I am thankful for approval for an earlier arrival and later departure with a $50.00 charge but we ended up leaving minutes later after the check out time because we couldn’t get the washer to go on spin cycle, so we messaged Stephanie letting her know that we left earlier than expected and left our towels and sheets in the washer. To summarize I just got to meet Mike, Stephanie’s husband and not Stephanie and he was very nice and helpful and even brought back floats for us and filled up the empty propane tanks that were left empty. Also, thank you for the wine you left on the table.

August 2023

It started w/ a hiccup with checking in, but with some proactive actions on our part prior, it was fixed within an hour. (We were given a refund for the inconvenience). Based on previous reviews it was never an issue before. Outside the house photos could be updated with recent tree growth. The house is on a hill, but our dog who has mobility issues could assess the "main" 2nd floor by walking through the yard to the back door. The stairs from the lower level were not an issue for us, but it could be an issue with children or those with mobility issues. The stairs to the loft are like a ladder, but my kids were comfortable using them (teens). Loft--- 3 mattresses, lights, plugs, and suitable for kids with independence . Main Floor- Bunk bed- sturdy but older mattresses, Queen bed w/TV & doors to the back yard, Kitchen, Living room (TV, woodstove), Dinette, and upper deck- with grill, table, and chairs. The living room furniture is much like a college dorm common area sturdy but not super comfy. Lower level: Entry point with code: Living room area with TV, Full bath, Queen Bed with TV. The furniture in the living room is much like you would have at your own home. Direct TV but no WiFi provided due to reception in this location. You get about 2 bars on your cell phone and can use a hot spot to stream video without issue (we have ATT and brought our Apple TV) Driveway- is a hill so take the car to the pond! We are definitely considering going back!

Great tucked-Away Cabin in Maine

Clean comfortable "mountainside" property in Maine. Cozy woodstove and firepit for the cold nights, plenty of room, spacious kitchen and the convenience of a washer and dryer. Host was flexible and accommodating for check in and check out. Will return.

Private and quiet

House was very clean & well equipped. Nice private location and good waterfront/dock. The only drawback was many stairs in the home which may be difficult for some and a fairly long walk down to the water. Dock is nice, but water was very shallow this year so getting into the water was tricky. Pond was nice for Kayaking and fishing. Good fire pit at house and also one at the water.

More peaceful than we imagined

Our first trip to Maine and by day two, we were planning our return trip next year. The cabin is secluded and the water is crystal clear. The owners were beyond friendly and accommodating. We fished off the dock and kayaked daily. The surrounding mountains are beautiful as well. We can't wait to return!
