It was a shirt trio for us to see family in the area for the holidays. The space was nice and met our needs with a well stocked kitchen. It is rustic, which we like, and as such has a few small quirks that are easy to adjust too. Communication was quick and appreciated.

The cabin is large and beautiful. with a well working wood stove to supplement the heat on a small river. Only things to note: there is only one bathroom (there is a toilet and sink in one of the upstairs bedrooms) and the kitchen is rather narrow and devoid of much counter space. These two things were minor issues because we were having a family holiday gathering, so cooking and getting clean were at times difficult. But, as long as one is prepared for those aspects of the property, it is excellent.

We had a nice stay for nearly a week at this quiet house. The weather was cool and rainy so we didn't get to enjoy all of the outdoor amenities this place offered. The woodstove was wonderful, though! It was a quick 20 minute drive to a large grocery store and we went to dinner in Augusta and Waterville. There are lots of great hikes nearby, some just a 10 minute drive. I saw a bald eagle on a lovely paddle using the kayaks Christine had made available to us. The check in was SUPER easy!

Lovely place, we had everything we needed. We arrived at night and it is on a unpaved driveway, covered in leaves at this time of year, so that was tricky. The lot is really beautiful, beds were comfortable with good linens. Owner was very responsive which I really liked. Only problem was a very smoky smell in the cabin. Apparently the chimneys had been serviced which caused this, but our first night it was very intense. It subsided a bit during our stay.

We visited the area to attend the Maine Cabin Masters Lobster Bake, which was only a 15 min drive. We were a group of 3 couples and 1 dog. The cabin was roomy for us all and the screened porch was wonderful. The sunset from the dock was lovely, property was surprisingly private. Cabin is very rustic, but well equiped. Beds were comfortable, linens were nice.

Property was large. Two docks where you could enter water. There were enough kayaks for all of us. Large fire pit for evening camp fires. Screened in porch for the rainy days.
Really enjoyed our time together in this lovely location!

Convenient location for this nostalgic property. Thankful to have time with the kids (growing up too fast) in beautiful Maine.

The property was ideal for our stay. While it unfortunately rained over most of the three days there, the large open space was comfortable for our group of 7 to read, dine and play games together. The porch was large and peaceful. The walk through between three bedrooms was surprising but it worked, and we were grateful for the tiny bathroom in the large bedroom upstairs. In a break in the weather I was thrilled to take a kayak down the lake and visit with the first loon of the season. It was well appointed for large meals and cooking and the owner was super responsive. Great stay!

We stayed at the house while visiting Family in Oakland which is about a 10 minute drive so we did not spend much time at the house. We managed to work in a kayak paddle around the stream before the rain set in for the weekend. Beds were comfortable and house was well stocked. Location is nice on the Belgrade Stream with easy access to shopping and tourist attractions. Would love to come back and enjoy the outdoor activities

The house was very well stocked with paper goods, linens, towels, toiletries, condiments, etc. The beds were comfortable with super cozy comforters. We really enjoyed hanging out in the spacious living room and having meals at the large dining room table overlooking the water. Check in and check out process was very easy.

This was our third stay at the cabin. It was as lovely as ever and Christine was friendly and helpful, as always. We had a relaxing multigenerational family break for our daughter's first Thanksgiving. There was something for everyone, from grandparents taking nice walks to an infant exploring the beautiful open space.

Christine was so wonderful and responded quickly to any questions I had. The property is truly beautiful and has easy access to the lake. We brought our elderly pup and he was right at home in front of the fireplace. It was so nice to just relax and look out on the river when not fishing as well. I definitely will return! Thank you again, Christine! :)

We really loved the outdoors, kayaking and boating, the fire pit, the little sand toys for my 3 year old. The outdoors is really beautiful, we had so much fun! But, keep in mind that this is a cabin, although very nice and as pictured, there were lots of spider webs. And although the main surfaces were cleaned, the corners and underneath furniture was pretty dusty.
Also the second floor ceiling is very low, an adult needs to bend down to get thru to the other room or to use the bathroom.
We were also woken up the first day by scratching on the ceiling right above the bed on the second floor, we texted the owner and she replied quickly that it is probably a chipmunk, but it still bothered us. We did not hear the chipmunk the second or third day

We absolutely loved our time in this cabin. It is on a beautiful piece of property with two points of access to water. One point of access is perfect for getting in and out of kayaks and the other point is perfect for swimming! The cabin itself is incredibly spacious when it comes to the common living area. It is rustic but with all the modern conveniences. We are hoping to return next year!

Annual Fishing Trip
This VRBO was nicely located on a beautiful piece of waterfront property in Belgrade ME. It was convenient to several of the local lakes and was private and quiet. Chris the owner was very responsive to all of our questions as I was a first time VRBO user.
We had an awesome stay.

The dogs will play
Really great double sized lot that allowed the pup to run around and tire herself out. Having two docks made it really fun to run back and forth looking for crawfish at night.

The house was well appointed and cared for. The common area was large and spacious enough for a large group. We loved the big yard for our dogs and they had a great time running freely. Although we, including the dogs, couldn’t swim off the property, we found near by beaches and had a fun time. There were three kayaks, a pelican boat, and a giant rat for paddling around. Overall, we would come back for more fun!

We loved our brief stay at the cabin! We had plenty of space to spread out, relaxed on the screened in porch and even enjoyed watching a mother fox and her babies play around in the woods behind the house - the den was obviously nearby! My kids loved the twin bedroom and we all agreed the beds were comfortable! The nearby train tracks did make for a few early wake ups, however! Some ceilings upstairs were fairly low so if you’re on the taller side just be mindful to duck! The owner was very quick to respond with all our questions leading up to the trip and I definitely would consider renting again!

Another Lovely Stay
We loved this place so much at Thanksgiving that we came back for a post-Valentine's retreat and it was just as wonderful. Private and tranquil but incredibly cosy and comfortable, even in February in Maine. Chris was a wonderful host again: warm, helpful, and communicative, and understanding when we had to cut short the trip to rush our kitty to the vet hospital. We plan to be back!
