We have been renting a Maine lake house for over 25 years and can say this was the best experience my family and I have had. The home is just incredible, Sheila was an absolute joy to deal with, and the entire experience was delightful. The property and waterfront area was amazing and the entire family had a wonderful time...we will absolutely be back!

Our week on the lake was great! We were able to utilize the mooring and rent a boat. The amenities on the property were amazing and we used them all: hot tub, sauna, pool table, ping pong, stand up paddle boards, kayaks, etc.

Three generations enjoyed a fun and relaxing week at this amazing lake home. The waterfront and dock are where the water adventures began - exploring by canoe and kayaks and paddle boards. The house and deck are so very spacious and comfortable. The screened porch is a nice hideaway for getting away from the crowd. The gas fireplace came in handy on a chilly evening. All in all, a winner. Stephen and Sheila were very responsive to a couple of issues that came up. Thank you!

House was great, very well stocked kitchen - great layout for a week’s vacation - plenty of space to have puzzles, board games all being played and still open tables to eat dinner at! Very nice spot!

The location is great with a small sandy area for swimming and shade trees on the shore. Clear water and wonderful lakefront with a dock was great for kids and adults. House has lots of great features but could use some maintenance.

What a great location and home! Top 10 Reasons we had a GREAT visit..... 1. The Parking Space / Driveway is enormous. This allowed for all types of games with the kids - easy access in and out of the home and provided much desired privacy. 2. The Dock is in excellent condition - greatly improves the process of docking the boat / water sports etc...and was also a great place to sit at night and watch the sunset. Some small pockets of boulders nearby that provided some fishing / exploration. There is also a Bald Eagle nesting on the property which was exciting to watch come and go. 3. The sandy entrance to the water is superb. If you have small children - you are in luck. You can have eyes on them from multiple points - easy to get in and out of the water....Loons & Ducks all spotted nearby 4. The Property is well maintained and landscaped - and very large with many little trails for exploring. The trees along the property are well groomed and placed - giving views to the lake but privacy where needed. 5. The house was spacious - tastefully decorated and very clean. Many areas to gather or find privacy. The kitchen was modern and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. There was literally nothing we expected to find that we did not - and nothing we needed or desired that was not included 6. The Canoes - Kayaks - Paddle Boards - Rafts - Life Vests etc all in excellent condition and close to the water. The FIRE PIT has good kindling nearby / in a great spot with plenty of seating making for excellent campfires / smores and stories.. 7. All the "Game Room" items ( Ping Pong Table / Pool Table etc) are in great condition - and have all needed parts! Nothing more disappointing than going to play ping pong with 1 ball. Not a problem here! I did not hear the words "we are bored" ever mentioned. 8. Hot Tub is in excellent condition - ditto for Sauna... 9. Bedrooms were appropriately sized - and the beds were comfortable. 10. The outside deck is large - plenty of seating and has a great view of the Lake below Having visited Thompson Lake multiple times I can say this is right at the top as one of our favorites!

What a lovely week we had on Megquier Island! Thank you Sheila & Steven for opening up your beautiful & spacious home to our family and for being so attentive. Accommodations were clean and well-designed with so many comfortable options on where to spend time and hang out. We practically lived between your well-appointed kitchen and the large deck with glorious views out to Thompson Lake. Then moved down by the private sandy beach, enjoying our time together in the super-clear water, relaxing in the Adirondack chairs and out on the dock. Kayaking was perfection. And, that late June Strawberry Moon was magical. Playing Ping Pong, shooting pool and soaking in the hot tub rounded out our wonderful stay. We loved it here! You will too.

In this time of COVID our family felt fortunate to be able to safely experience a change of scenery and that Sheila's home was available to us. Everything about the home is lovely - it's location with sweeping views of the lake through old growth trees as well as it's beautiful interior. It offered everything we could possibly need for hibernating in the winter.... a kitchen fully stocked with sharp knives and loads of good quality pans, a cozy living space with a great gas fireplace, lots of space for our kids to stretch out (tv room for school zooms, reading nooks in bedrooms) and pool/ping pong/foosball/ hot tub/sauna to keep everyone active. We didn't wander far from the house except for some nice walks along the Island road. Sheila kindly left the Christmas tree up, which was a really nice addition to the ambiance of the holidays. We used the terrific fire pit, which was surrounded by chairs and a large stack of wood for our use. We wandered the lakeside looking at ice formations and a couple of us fished a bit. While it was perfect for our winter needs (even snowing one night!), we could also envision how amazing the house would be in every season. Sheila was a wonderful host, responsive to all our covid concerns - the house was extremely clean upon our arrival, and communicated clearly with any questions we had prior to the stay. Arrival/entry was easy and a full notebook was provided answering any questions about the house, which was great. From comfy beds to beautiful art work and a basement our kids dream about.... we highly recommend staying at Sheila's Thompson Lake home. You won't be disappointed!
