We enjoyed our stay in Newcastle. The location was great, and the home was beautiful! Would definitely return to enjoy the lake. There we plenty of amenities and everyone was comfortable.

The house was great, very clean and comfortable mattresses. The upstairs bed frame (bedroom with queen, lakeside) was quite squeaky and affected our sleep. We missed the driveway about three times as the mailbox is between two drives and the driveway is very hard to see. A sign, reflector or something would be super helpful! We could not find any coffee carafes (there were two coffee makers) so we opted to order a coffee box from Dunkin Donuts. After a few texts with property management we found out it had been reported broken but had not been replaced. One was never delivered so we decided to buy a coffee maker and left it at the house. That was a little disappointing (just not something you want to deal with while on vacation). The lake was beautiful and proximity to town was nice. We would recommend the house but expected more from the management company.

This is a lovely home with everything you'll need for a stay in the Midcoast. The house is big, the furniture is comfortable, all the bathrooms are great, the deck is huge, and the kitchen is well-equipped. As others have said, another AC unit would be useful upstairs--it definitely got a bit toasty in the two big bedrooms. Our biggest issue was the view to the lake--the undergrowth and saplings need to be thinned out so you can see and engage with the water more. It's such a lovely spot on the lake--quiet and private--it's a shame it can't be seen from the house more. But overall, this is a great property in a good location. We'd certainly come again.

Great home for large group. We had 5 adults and plenty of room for us and more. The home was very nice and clean and close to things we wanted to do. Check out Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens if you are in the area. Would be a home we would rent again.

The house was amazing; very well decorated and kept. Everything was in working order and the place was spotless when we arrived. The pictures don’t do the location justice. The view of the lake is great, the deck is enormous and my kids had a great time exploring the lot leading down to the water.
