we have been vacationing in the Sebago area for over 20 years. This was a great lake and the house suited us all very well.

This was a great house for our family of 7 (5 kids 4-14yo.) It was a very spacious house with everything you need. We spent a ton of time down on the dock and in the water swimming, kayaking, and fishing. We brought along a few kayaks and paddle boards. I would recommend doing the same or renting from one of the local marinas/companies if you enjoy being on the water since they do not provide kayaks. Multiple places to rent from though if interested! Very easy access to property and owners communication was perfect! Would definitely go back again!

Thomas Pond is a beautiful lake. We enjoyed the waterfront, especially the new dock. It would add to the waterfront experience if they would re-surface the raft portion and the walkway leading on to the dock. The boards the ladder is anchored in is rotting, and I feared when I climbed out of the water it would rip loose.
The house was adequet but not very clean. You had to walk through this total wreck of a garage to get into the house. The light fixture by that door was siting on the bench as you came in. Also the bulbs were missing. I found some bulbs above the stove and replaced two of them and attached the light fixture.
Lots of spider webs on windows and dead bugs. Window sills dirty. Grimy finger prints on kitchen cabinents and other door handles. Dining room light fixture so thick with dust, I had to clean it and replace one of the light bulbs. Also had to call the property manager to replace bulbs in downstairs bathroom as only 2 of the 5 were working. That sink also drains VERY slowly.
There is no light by the washer and dryer so it is very difficult to see what you are doing. The pool room is dirty but also very hot. The radiator behind the door is on for some reason which heats up the room.
The upstairs bathroom water pressure was nill whern we tried to use it. Called the property manager who came and changed the filter which improved it. (Dave was very nice and responsive). Cleaned bulbs in that bathroom, fixed light fixture in bedroom. Could go on, no space

My family had a great stay. There's easy access to a lake through the backyard and it's very close to Lake Sebago. The lake in the back is low key and quiet but access to the busier Lake Sebago is a quick drive down the road. All in all a very pleasant stay.

There was three generations that totally enjoyed our stay at this spacious home. The home was very comfortable. The lake and dock was very user friendly for swimming, fishing and boating. There was a pool table and an extensive movie library that was also entertaining. A quick ride down the street were many stores and restaurants! It really was a perfect location.

Great big house. Clean & lots of windows for natural light. Couple of downfalls are long walk up or down a hill to get to & from the dock. Needs some lounge chairs for the dock & a screened in porch or deck for outdoor seating. Cushions on the dinningroom chairs would be wonderful too. Lastly there was only one propane tank & it was 3/4 empty. Air conditioners could use some updating as well.

We especially liked kayaking off the dock behind the house. There were very few other boats out on Thomas Pond in september . Nice view of the backyard and pond from the dining table. We enjoyed playing pool in the basement.
We recommend eating at Chutes 7a-1p it is very close.

We have stayed at this property for the second time and absolutely loved it. The house is spacious and clean, it is fully stocked with kitchen supplies and even drinking water. We loved the apple garden, campfire and swimming off the dock. We would come back again.

Exactly what you'd expect from a family owned lakefront property on a great Maine lake. Awesome deep water, but virtually empty of other people and boats! Great for all water activities! Sloped yard but good for games. Lots of space for sleeping.

Seven of my family members stayed here for a week. We had a great time ! We grilled, fished, went blueberry picking then made pie in the enormous kitchen! The beds were all comfy and the house is beautiful. There is a VCR player in the family room. At night, we played some classic VHS movies that the grandkids had never heard of. The house is close to everything. We will definately come back again.

The property worked out well for us (multi-generational family) with two separate bedroom areas. There were some things that weren't ideal and need some updating, but overall was a good home and the location was excellent on the water. The property manager was helpful and responsive.

While an older property that could use a little plumbing update and a garage clean out ( funny smell), overall the house was clean, bright and sunny. Water access was great and we had a great time.

The property is very spacious. Great kitchen with ample seating to entertain. Right on Thomas pond with a dock is great too. The kids did a good amount of swimming. We have a relative who lives on lake sebago, so it was a quick commute to there house. Some negatives: the kitchen faucet water pressure is almost non-existent, making it hard to do dishes. This should be fixed. Also the shower head on the downstairs bathroom is boarderline painful. Shoots out of certain holes and not others. Not a pleasant shower experience. Also an easy fix for the home owner. We pondered buying our own cheap shower head while there. We did see some ants and spiders in the house but this should be expected. It’s Maine. The house had been cleaned but not extremely well. Overall it met ours needs. Might have been a different story had we spent all of our time there. We are contemplating staying again next year because of the proximity to our relatives house.

Thank you for a wonderful experience. Your house was in a perfect location on Thomas Pond. The dock was so peaceful for reading. We decided to push the beds in the twin room together to make a king so we could wake up to the lake view. Of course we separated them when we left. The kitchen was very spacious and had everything we needed. Being on the water was a real treat for us. Thanks for listing on VRBO.Regards,Tillie and Peter

The location is beautiful Thomas Pond is lovely. The sun, for sun lovers, is only early morning by noon it’s not on the dock any longer. The house was very nice the master bedroom has to walk downstairs for a bathroom unfortunately. Kitchen is large and wide open with a lovely view from the dining table. Cleanliness at our arrival could have been better we needed to clean before we could use some items. The big issue was no water pressure. It was almost non existent if someone was showering. You had to runaround under the trickle to shower. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
