Cabin was exactly as it was described. The host, Tara was available whenever needed throughout our stay. Beautiful weekend away in Maine to see the lake and fall foliage!
A lovely place with lots of amenities close to shopping , medical facilities and vets if you have a pet. Good food nearby . If you love off roading it’s awesome . The cabin is clean , WiFi and sat TV . Beds are super comfy and a washer dryer . Highly recommend the Benson Cottage .
Very nice cabin, clean and spacious with 2 bedrooms 1 bath with shower-lots of amenities like washer-dryer, lots of cooking supplies-pans, microwave, etc. Plenty of parking and pretty outlook across road to lake-association beach 5 min walk.
Loved the cottage and location! Property was very clean and cozy and had everything we needed for a very relaxing beautiful stay! Not on the water but extremely close walking distance to path to get to the water and beautiful lake! We rented a canoe close by and were able to put the canoe in the lake easily and paddle around the very quiet and peaceful lake and enjoyed the views! The property manager Tara was excellent and made sure we had everything. Also close to store/market Indian Hill Trading Post to get anything you needed. I highly recommend!
This is the second summer that we have stayed here. It is perfect for us as we have family living near by. The cottage is very clean, and exceptionally well stocked! The beds are comfortable and there is an excellent supply of fresh bedding and linen. The property manager is very responsive and helpful.
Absolutely love this cabin. This was our third time staying here. Love the neighborhood and proximity to town. Cabin is perfect for my family. My teens were super excited that it now has a wifi connection. Tara, the property manager, does an amazing job of communicating and maintaining the property. Highly recommend!
No Wi-Fi!! Wasn’t working and no one came to fix until we were leaving (weekend).The host was informative and helpful. Kitchen well stocked and furniture was somewhat comfortable. The location was good for getting around the area and close to town. There wasn’t any view from or much light coming into the cottage so it felt quite dark. The bed was a bit soft but linens were clean throughout. The rating of 3 comes from overall lack of cleanliness of the cottage. It needs a deep cleaning. Wash machine looked too dirty to wash clothes in. The overall cottage was very dated. The 12” TV in the BR was a joke. The LR TV was small.
We thoroughly enjoyed this property. Very clean, great view and loved that there was an access to the water.
Perfect location!
Definitely recommend this property.
Loved this place! Perfect for us and our dog. Lake was a nice short walk and a beautiful view from the cabin. Lots of nice hiking trails around as well. Cabin was very clean and well taken care of.
Wow! A wonderful place with all the immenities. Great location to go off roading and the lake is beautiful. Our dog loved it . Beds were very comfortable and nice to have satellite TV that got a ton of channels. We will go back as we loved it.
We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. Cabin was super clean, very cozy, excellent condition and the location was fantastic
From the point of first booking the cabin until we checked in everything went very smoothly, so convenient. We loved our stay so much we are planning two weeks at this cabin next year.
Great cabin with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We came after a snow storm and the walkway and parking lot was cleared. A short walk to the beach provided the best view of the eclipse.
This property was perfect! Well kept and managed! My family enjoyed being at the cottage as much as visiting the town. Definitely booking again next Summer!
Nice area to just rest and relax after several stressful months of work. The cottage has everything you need and is close to plenty of hiking, fishing, kayaking and swimming.
Special shout out to Northwoods Outfitters for their assist with new kayak racks after mine broke on the trip up.
Nice location; close enough to town yet far enough away to be quiet. Felt very comfortable and very at-home at Benson Cottage - a great place to unwind and enjoy what Nature and the Moosehead Lake region have to offer. Our host, Tara, was friendly, easy to communicate with and kept the cottage well-stocked and clean. We wanted for nothing. I sure hope we can come back before too long!
This is our second time at Benson cottage and it was amazing as always. Tara is amazing and it’s the best little place for my family to make amazing memories. Always clean.
