My husband and I, along with our 17 yr old twins had a fabulous time in Bret's Maine log cabin. We had been a little worried that our teens might get bored, but no such problem. We enjoyed hanging out in the homey cabin, reading, playing games and having cookouts. We also loved the peaceful pine forest setting, hiking paths, kayaking and swimming off the dock. A pure dream vacation! Beautiful memories made that will last a life time!

Loved it and look forward to renting it next summer. 😀

This was our second time staying here, and my family loved it again! The property was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The owners were very open with their communication and quick to get back to me. We look forward to coming back next year.

The cabin was really great. It was very peaceful and quiet, cabin was clean, comfortable, charming and close to family in the area. Use of the kayaks was an extra added bonus. Property owner was very informative and helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay in this holiday home. It is very cozy and secluded. The house is in excellent condition and equipped with everything you need. The landlords Bret and Donna are very nice and helpful. Many thanks for everything. We will recommend the cabin.

We had a great time at Kettle Pond. With family a short distance away we needed a home base to sleep, naps for the kids, and down time. The cabin was great -- very clean and outfitted with everything we needed. We'll be back!

We chose this cabin due to proximity to friends and family in the area. The reviews were accurate and our stay was very pleasant. The cabin has everything we needed for the 2 weeks we were there. The owner, Bret was always a text away and responded to questions and suggestions very quickly. A very pretty and quiet area. We enjoyed our stay.

From the moment we pulled up to the cabin, we knew we picked the right place. The inside, from top to bottom was charming and comfortable for the three of us. It was so nice waking up and having coffee and a good book out in the sunroom. With the kayaks, we were able to take our grandson out on the pond for his first time. We'll definitely return on another trip.

Wonderful vacation spot.

Wonderful vacation spot.

The cabin was a great home base as we visited family on Square Pond. Bret was a fantastic host as he responded to our questions promptly and gave us great recommendations for things in the area. We would definitely stay here again.

This was our first trip to Maine and it didn't disappoint. The cabin and location were outstanding and Bret and Donna are wonderful hosts. The cabin had everything we needed for a great vacation. They checked in with us often to make sure we had everything we needed and to offer recommendations on places to see. We enjoyed swimming and kayaking on Kettle Pond and hanging out at the cabin. The location was great and we made several day trips around the area. We visited Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Ferry Beach, Douglas Mountain and even squeezed in a trip to Boston. Our two teens said it was the best vacation ever and I would agree.

My family and I had a great time staying at this cabin. The owner was very nice and explained everything clearly. The cabin was super clean and relaxing. Would definitely recommend staying here.

This cabin suited our needs perfectly. The trails and the ponds are beautiful; the owners, Brett and Donna, were very friendly and helpful. The pollen from the pine trees was pretty bad--our stay was from late May to late June--so those with allergies may want to take precautions and bring plenty of tissues. The kayaks are an added bonus and we thoroughly enjoyed them.

This rental is in a fantastic location at the end of a quiet road. There were no cars driving by, only two other cabins, and a view of a pond and the woods. Cute as a button inside and out! It was absolutely perfect for me.

The property was very well kept. There was a book with suggestions and area activities. Bret was very helpful texting with answers about things in the area. The cabin was awesome and so comfortable. We had such a great time and made so many great memories! We will never forget the week we spent there and cannot wait to plan to come back!!!

There were some inconsistencies between the listing and the property owners' expectations as far as the condition we needed to leave the cabin in upon checking out. We were asked by the owner to wash our own towels and sheets. For the price I feel that all cleaning should have been covered by the owners, especially considering that we were responsible and did not leave the place a mess. We also found out upon arrival that we were responsible to take our own trash and recycling to a waste center. It would have been nice to see that in the listing instead of assuming it'd be provided. It was doubly inconvenient in that the waste center was not open on our departure day and we were supposed to be quarantining and not technically allowed to leave the cabin grounds. The owner let us leave our last day's trash but I felt that the expectations could have been clearer as many of the other listings we viewed were. Advice to the owners, please update the listing to reflect exactly what you require your renters to be responsible including some cleaning and trash. Also, advice to future renters, be advised nearly every dish in the kitchen was filthy and we spent the first 3 hours hand washing and drying. Cups in the cupboard lined with sticky orange juice, pans greasy and stuck on food. I expect that isn't a reflection on the owners but rather the previous renter. Also the bathroom floor was sticky and brown, like faint dried on mud or something, so I washed that upon arrival. This is my first time renting a privately owned cabin so maybe it is normal to find it dirty and to find actual expectations varying from the online listed ones. Just pointing it out in case anyone cares to know. Overall we had a great time and are already considering going back next year, and we recommend this cabin and the area to others.

The cabin has WiFi, Dish tv and air conditioning (which I did not expect). Just no microwave, but plenty of cookware and a teapot. I had a great time!

Myself and 3 friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Check in was easy and the host was always available for questions or suggestions. Our group loved the walking paths, the fishing, and the lakes to explore in kayaks. The cabin is about 40 minutes from Wells beach, so we also enjoyed going to the beach!

This is a beautiful cabin tucked away in the woods in Shapleigh Maine. The owners are super nice, and the cabin is well appointed and wonderfully furnished.

The cabin was clean and well equipped. The owner was attentive and quickly answered any question. This was a wonderful stay!

Clean, quiet, relaxing... A perfect retreat for those seeking vacation solitude.

I am literally ready to book for the spring and summer next year. We had a BLAST.

Beautiful and comfortable setting. Very quiet and relaxing. Owner very helpful in ideas to explore around. Only thing missing was a microwave at house.

This cabin is wonderful - it is nicely decorated and had everything to make our visit great. The bed was comfortable, the cabin was spotless, and it was the best lake house we have ever rented. Our grandkids enjoyed swimming in the lake, and the kayaks were a lot of fun for them. Bret was very attentive and concerned that we had everything we needed, including supplying us with eggs and English muffins when we arrived late Friday night. We couldn't have asked for better hosts. All in all it is a great cabin in a beautiful spot. Thanks Bret!

We loved every second of our stay in this cabin. It was clean, well appointed and the owners are amazing people. The back porch is a dream to sit and relax on. Excellent!
