This property is so awesome. It is quiet, private and super clean. The view is spectacular. The bed was cozy and we slept like babies. So relaxing. We cannot wait to come back.

We are so happy to hear that you had a wonderful stay! We can't wait to see you in Rangeley again soon :)
Great place for a weekend away with the pups! Very private, quiet, and the cabin was fantastic. They had canoes, kayaks and everything we needed to enjoy the water. It really was a great place I hope to return to several times!

Lovely house on a pond
We had a great stay on Richardson Pond. House was clean and quiet and we all soaked up the lake views both morning and night. Loved hearing the loon calls and fishing from the canoes and dock. Kids and dog had a blast swimming off the dock.
Well kept home. Close to lots of great fishing. Enjoyed our stay!

Quiet and peaceful Richardson Pond cabin
One of the nicest places we've stayed in The Rangeley area. Very private and quiet with beautiful sunrises and gorgeous nights. There are 2 fire pits to enjoy and lots of modern amenities, but the best thing about it is the location and the beautiful surroundings. Also, the fact that we could bring our dog was a big plus.
Wonderful property, excellent property managers and condition
Beautiful cabin in a gorgeous location. Not your typical Maine “camp”. Modern and recent construction. Well cared for grounds. Perfect in every regard. Excellent communication from property managers at Morton & Furbish. We’ve stayed in many Rangeley area rentals - this is by far the best. You will not be disappointed staying here. Already planning on rebooking another stay.

Hi Brendan! Thank you so much for this review! We are so happy you had a fantastic stay and found the accommodations up to standard. So glad you are already planning to rebook for next year!! See you back again soon. :)
The place is amazing, we plan to return. Very small items, but we would recommend: 4 potholders in kitchen, table lamp (for reading) in main floor bedroom, some clothing hooks in 2nd floor bedroom. Also, some led bulbs (over kitchen sink) were flashing, no replacements in the camp. Again, excellent property and location. Very peaceful.

Hi Dave! Thank you so much for this review we really appreciate it! Thank you for letting us know about these recommendations we will definitely suggest these to the owners!! Have a great Fall and we hope to see you back very soon! :)
We liked everything about this property. Its location is nestled comfortably on wooded rise just above Richardson Pond. The nearest neighbors are out of sight and sound. The design is comfortable with a nice kitchen, comfortable TV/sitting area, full size balcony, and the "tools" necessary for those who like to cook. We are already thinking about a return visit.

Quite nice
Quiet! hear no neighbors, there are no visible neighbors. Every once in awhile can hear a rumble from rt 16. Great wide view of the water. Inside: has what is needed, clean, lots of daylight with no clutter Water front makes launching a kayak easy. Could use an outdoor dining table.
