We had a wonderful time on our vacation here. The home is just as it’s pictured. The lake is clean and seeing and hearing the loons was just so Maine! We loved waking up and kayaking and enjoying each meal outside. The adults, kids and dogs enjoyed the stay and we hope to stay again.

Absolutely Amazing

This is our second time here, and had my brother and sisters families visit too. Securing online is very quick with the owners & property manager Dan confirming and communicating super fast. It’s so easy. Met Dan at the Cabin for a quick tour. If looking for a great private place on the lake, that has all the supplies of your home, this is it. It’s very clean and comfortable. This time we Kayaked to the nearest island, rented a pontoon boat at the North marina, had several campfires at night, and visited Boothbay Harbor. On our first stay we hiked in Acadia National park and spent time at Bar Harbor. Being from Denver we hope to visit again within a few years.

Absolutely Perfect!!

This property was wonderful! The view from the sunroom was stunning all 24 hours of the day. Our kids loved boating on the water in the kayaks and our son had a blast fishing from the dock. We had to cut our trip short but will definitely be coming back when we can stay longer.

My family stayed here while visiting for my niece’s graduation, and we were absolutely delighted with this cabin! Nestled right on the lake, it offered stunning views from both inside and out. The setting was serene, and the scenery from the windows alone took our breath away.The property matched the listing perfectly and had everything we needed for a quintessential Maine getaway. We made great use of the fire pit—roasting marshmallows and staying cozy in the evenings—and spent nights out on the dock stargazing while listening to the loons.Although the lake was a bit too choppy for us to venture out far during out time there due to the weather, we appreciated having access to the canoe and kayaks and did give it a try! Inside, the cabin was clean, well-equipped, with plenty of comfy beds!We loved it and will definitely hope to come back here again next time we gather in Maine!

A Little Slice of Heaven!

We booked this house as an alternative to hotels rooms for a softball tournament, and we're so glad that we did! It was way better in person than it looked in the pictures. The house had every comfort of home and was so spacious for our group. We were able to spend time making s'mores on the fire while listening to the loons on the lake. The only regret we had was that we needed more time to enjoy the house and beautiful surroundings. We are already looking forward to a return trip sometime in the future!

Amazing house amazing memories.

This house is a slice of heaven. It’s absolutely perfect in every regard. It sleeps a lot of people comfortably, it has every amenity you could ask for for a lake cabin. Three full bathrooms, and tons of cutlery and plates for everyone. You can tell that the people that rent this house absolutely love it because it’s fully stocked with spices and cooking utensils. It’s clear people take a little and leave a little which epitomizes the character of the owners and the house. This house will be a new family tradition for us and we couldn’t be happier. Dan was amazing too. Thanks for having us Steve and Sherrie!!

This place is a piece of paradise

The cabin by the lake is so peaceful. Cabin has pretty much everything you need from the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. I love that they provided 2 coffee makers and coffee, woke up early morning, sipped my coffee, sat in the covered porch, watched the sunrise, and watched the lake. It is an easy access to Colby college. We enjoyed our stay. I would love to rent this place again. Dan was so responsive host. Thank you!
