Group of guys come up every year since 1996 to ride and ice fish. House was great for us and easy to ride out from. Wish the owner would get rid of TV's and dish and just update to a modern smart tv.

Had a great time at this house…will definitely try to stay here again. Perfect location as it is very close to family that live in the area. Warm enough weather so that we enjoyed lake activities

My family and I enjoyed staying at this property. We all agreed that we would come back.
Pros:
1) location is only a short 5 minute walk to town where you can shop, get coffee, or dine.
2) the house is large and has several great spaces that can accommodate big groups: dining room, 1st floor bar room with couch, lower level bar room with couches and chairs, and in kitchen dining table.
3) a large grassy back yard is great for lawn games, relaxing in the sun, or playtime for kids.
4) the dock is great and we were all able to fit on it (6 adults, 1 child) to enjoy the lake views, swimming, and sun.
5) the swimming area off the dock in clean. No real debris in the water to speak off. The lake has a rocky bottom and it didn’t bother us to go in without swim shoes.
Cons:
1) I did not feel that the listing shared accurate information about included property amenities: towels, linens, toilet paper, paper towels, dishwater detergent etc. (By the way, all included. Ample toilet paper and towels as well as a small dish soap, and dish water tabs).
2) Property manager was not easy to communicate with and did not have answers readily available when I called the contact #. The individual I spoke with could not confirm if the kitchen was stocked with dishes and silverware, kind of important information to know. The kitchen does have this and more.
3) Screen door on 1st floor to deck is still broken. I think I saw this mentioned in reviews from a year ago.
4) Overhead light in lower level bedroom with shared bathroom does not work.
5) Tub in shared bathroom on lower level does not drain well. The tub fills with 2-3 inches of water while showering.
6) House does not have AC. This is clearly stated in listing. However, house also does not have fans for each bedroom. 2nd floor master bedroom has ceiling fan and a floor fan. Lower level bedrooms did not have fans, no ceiling fans either. It was VERY hot while we were there. The lower level bedrooms were over 80 degrees at night and do not get good air flow through the windows. We were able to find one other working fan in a closet. Fans are absolutely needed for all bedrooms if it is warm out. The upstairs master bedroom, with fans, is extremely hot.
7) The refrigerator/freezer was not cooling properly. Our ice cream was like a milk shake.
8) The dryer doesn’t dry well. We were able to notice some permanent marker on the settings indicating which to use which seemed to help.

Spacious and comfortable house with easy access to lake with dock for boats. Very close to Greenville and amenities. Very nice kitchen, wet bar area and formal dining room. Enjoyed the stay and would stay again

We had an excellent time on Lily Bay Road and Moosehead Lake. This house is very spacious, with three floors of open-concept space. If you can manage to get the top floor room within your group then you're in for a treat! Awesome views of the water from every floor regardless, though.
The kitchen is amazing and very modern and sleek. Awesome looking sinks that I've never seen before (actually made washing dishes fun). The backyard is very nice and there's plenty of chairs, a fire bit, frisbees, footballs and a private dock. Large driveway, A/C and plenty of beds.
Close to the city center and definitely recommended for a nice getaway!

Overall the property was as expected from the online listing. There were 2 small things that needs fixed initially, but the management was very responsive. There was no place to hang up towels or swim suits in the bathrooms. Access to town was perfect. Access to the water and lake views was tremendous.

Home is set up great! I wish there was a second room with bunk bed option. Owner needs to remove old TV's in living rooms and replace with new smart TV's with apps. Get rid of Dish that does not work. You will save money and less aggravation for your tenants.
We ice fished and the home has no real pace to place equipment. Wish there was a basement area of shed.

Very clean and very nice. Lots of space. Wonderful view and direct access to the lake. Only 1.5miles from town which was useful too. We'll be back!

Wonderful trip in many ways. We stayed for three nights and days for an Ice Fishing trip in the Great North Woods of Maine during the Blizzard of '22 that dumped 16 inches of snow on day 2. The house is just up a slight hill from the shoreline, easy enough to climb with the snowmobiles we rented in town and certainly easy to walk up and down in spite of the recent snows; Very clear views of the lake from the house, too. The house was very clean with all necessary provisions to just show up (after buying our groceries locally) and to kick back, relax and take in the beautiful surroundings of Greenville, Maine. Plenty of new well built beds, bathrooms and space for all of us to be comfortable. We were disappointed that the decks were not shoveled and the grill was buried in snow, but we had plenty of muscle in the house to take care of it. A family with young kids might feel differently, though. We all agreed we would come back anytime in the future to this beautiful location and this same house.

The property was large, open, and accommodating, both inside and out. Excellent dock and lake access. Nice walk down the street to Greenville and the shops and restaurants. Would rate higher if the home was in better physical condition, at least aesthetically.

We loved everything about this place except one thing - the DSL Wi-Fi was terrible. it was intermittent, would drop out for up to an hour, then up and down. Rebooting the modem worked sometimes. If you have a rainy day or two expect to be very frustrated if your kids want to binge watch Phineas and Ferb or a movie.

We had the best time here for our family Fourth of July trip. The barge was located basically right in front of the our dock so we had front row seats to the most amazing fireworks display. The house has all we needed and it had plenty of space will definitely rent again . It’s pretty shallow near the dock so just want to be aware if you have a boat we had a pontoon boat and it worked out great. Nice little pebble beach area as well !

Loved the waterfront property!
The home was huge and had excellent views of the water on every floor. We stayed in the winter and having the direct access onto the lake was a huge plus for us with snowmobiling and ice fishing. Highly recommend if your staying with a large group as the home was very spacious with its 3 floors of living space.

Poor communication and property needs TLC
Just know you are renting from a management company with poor response time. Several questions we asked before the trip remained unanswered. The house is in need of quite a bit of attention. One example is the dishwasher is not attached to the counter so when you slide out the racks it tips forward. The layout of the house is odd. There is a fireplace but it's in a place with no seating, so you can't enjoy it.
The town and people of Greenville are very nice.
