We had a wonderful 3-week stay at this comfortable lakeside home. Quiet location on a beautiful lake, easy drive to Portland city and airport. Lots of towns and nature walks to explore. Donna is very available and hospitable. Two king size beds is a bonus. Highly recommend!

Very nice house off the beaten path, yet close enough to all activities. Nestled in the woods on a lake made for very relaxing down time. Beds were super comfortable which was a huge plus. Perfect stay!

Excellent accommodations, wish we had stayed longer! Nice to be a short drive from the city, and at the same time be in a nice quiet woodsy area right on the lake! We loved the games area downstairs, and enjoyed boating with the kayaks and paddle boat provided. Lovely view of the lake from the kitchen /dining area. Excellent communications with the host.

When we arrived the host greeted us I was surprised to find we had to make our own beds strip them wash and dry all sheets and towels before leaving put sheets back folded on bed alot of work for vacation I am very used to stripping beds snd putting used towels together but not doung the laundry. Too many signs and rules hanging everywhere you look very threatening message about being out of house by 10 even though you have lots of house work to do
Beautiful location nice house not a welcoming atmosphere

We were in town for business, staying lakeside in a cozy cabin beats a roadside motel any day! Great spot!

We visited in February for some winter R & R and the house didn't disappoint! It was spotless and had everything we needed to make a snow day cozy and fun! We went snow tubing about 15 minutes down the road and although the lake wasn't frozen enough for skating, we found a great indoor ice rink about 15 minutes away. The house is located about 30 minutes north of the Portland waterfront, yet it feels like a world away. Restaurants and a grocery store are only about 10-15 minutes away, too.

We spent Thanksgiving weekend in this charming lake house with our family and had such a great time! The home is clean and well-maintained, the kitchen is fully stocked with anything you’d need to prepare meals, and the beds are comfortable. The owners went above and beyond to make this a comfortable stay for us, checking in to make sure that we had all that we needed for our Thanksgiving dinner. We enjoyed being in such a beautiful setting with easy access to Portland. You can’t go wrong renting this home!

Cozy cabin right on the lake. It has everything you need for a comfortable get away at the lake. Great location near Portland with convenient grocery stores nearby. Also ease of travel to the northern coast of Maine. It has it all.

Very nice property. Check out time is 10 and you have to launder your sheets and start the towels you used. Made for a busy morning to check out.

Great location and had everything we needed. To be aware there are steep steps to get to the property. But very nice and peaceful!!

We loved the location on the pretty and peaceful lake. It was relaxing and we enjoyed just sitting and enjoying the view. There weren’t many places nearby to get food, but we enjoyed going to Portland for meals. Having to do laundry on the checkout day felt rushed and it would have been better if we’d had a little bit later checkout time to allow for that and also if it had been communicated in advance. We would have chosen to bring our own linens if we’d known.

What a lovely house! Plenty of room for our party of 5. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake, watching the fishermen, and especially liked the view. Owners are responsive and friendly, yet gave us our privacy and space. Our only suggestion is to add the 2 loads of washing and drying that are required before check-out to the up-front information, so that guests can plan around that. We were not expecting to do laundry, and had to change our plans for the check out day. Otherwise, it was a great stay!

Perfect winter ice fishing getaway!
My husband and I had an incredible time at Donna’s warm and inviting home. The views are amazing and the fireplace was so cozy. We cooked all of our meals in the kitchen which was well stocked with everything you could ever need. Donna is always available and easy to reach if you ever have questions. Check-in and check-out process couldn’t have been more smooth. We’ll definitely be back soon!

We had a great time at this rental. Our host, Donna, was excellent and met every need we had. The house was clean, had everything we could possibly want, lake was fantastic, and perfect for a couple or family. It is one of the best, comfortable places we have ever stayed at and will be returning!

The cabin was very comfortable and the view was second to none, we woke almost every morning to a beautiful sunrise over a still lake and a family of duck seemingly staged to welcome the day. The Kitchen was clean, modern and well equipped. Everything else was as expected; clean bathrooms, comfortable beds, laundry, a coupel tv's(for the rainy days), a good collection of kayaks and peddle boat, and abundant towels. The location was great for food and groceries, close to Portland for lobster and a number of good places to eat in all directions. The property owners were very prompt and responsive to any issues. This was our first trip after a year of covid isolation and just needed to get away - it didn't disappoint. We're already looking forward to another visit when it's a bit warmer.

We really enjoyed our stay. We loved being on the water. It was close enough to drive to Portland and where we needed to go but nice to come back and relax. Would stay there again if I’m the area!
