We are traveling for business many months out of the year and this place was literally a home away from home. It was kept super well and very clean. We enjoyed our stay here. In fact, we tried to extend our stay but someone lse had already booked it. However, we will be back!

Great time. Very relaxing.

We had rain which didn't allow us to use the dock or lake or fire pit. The house is in good condition, just a couple of things I noticed. The bathtub on the 1st floor does not drain properly. There are no window treatments on the 1st floor which we did not care for. Dining area light did not work right. The location is private, and convenient to shopping, and getting to different tourist sites around Portland.

The house and property were just as described. We had our 4 young adult children meet us there, from their various college towns. We spent about half of our time exploring the region, from Portland to Acadia. But we had rest days in between, just hanging out at the house and lake, playing games and watching the otters play in the lake. All the kids- aged 18 to 26- loved it as much as we did. It was just so comfortable and spacious!

The stay was great because we made it great, but for Premier Host Property it was lacking - ripped pillow case; bathroom sink stoppers didn't work properly; fridge not cleaned well; poor info about area.
Booked with VRBO but ended up having to deal with Vacasa Property Management which was not ideal and confusing. There wasn't one designated rep; the reps who responded had poor/no knowledge of the property or area; replies slow and/or responded multiple times by different reps with different answers to same questions. VRBO and Vacasa are now asking to rate the property. Very confusing.
During our stay, a man in a truck arrive unannounced, collected something from behind the house and left without letting us know who he was and his purpose. We saw him from the water when boating. No explanation provided. Concerning bc the key pad door lock often didn't work and/or was difficult to lock from the outside.
Site info lacking ex: slope down to lake; water crafts located in basement require physical ability to move in and out. Ground around fire pit is large black rock & difficult to walk on; pit location poor only two people can sit "comfortably" around it; poorly constructed with stone that gets very hot. Fire wood not provided.
Pots and pans poor condition; knives were dull; No plastic glasses to use outside near dock or fire pit; no place mats for table; You really need to provide all your own kitchen supplies - not just food. Sofas not comfortable.

Nice location right on the lake. House was a good size for family stay. The kitchen area and living room area is large enough for the whole group to gather!

We stayed at this property during a guys weekend getaway and it was perfect. Very clean and spacious. Although it is too cold this time of year to utilize the lake, the view was amazing. A great place to relax and get away from the city. The fire pit was where we spent most of our time. Less than 30 mins from Portland. Would definitely stay here again!
