Everything about this house was perfect. We were nothing short of pleased from the moment we arrived. This house was just as pictured and described. It lacked nothing! The entire house was very comfortable for all. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, the open living and kitchen was perfect for all to gather and the family room/game area in the lower level was a bonus space for the kids. Everything from the linens to the furnishings were above what you might expect to find in a rental. The outdoor space was beyond comparison. The yard, dock area, views, kayaks and paddleboard were enjoyed by all. We had a couple of questions upon arrival, which were answered within minutes of a quick text to the owner. I would not hesitate to recommend or return to this one of a kind lake house.

We all had a wonderful time in a beautiful home on a lovely, safe pond. Looking forward to many more weeks together there in the coming summers! Communication with owner regarding any issues was easy and handled in a timely manner.

Great location, fantastic property. Very comfortable to spend a weekend in.

Te entire family enjoyed the long weekend. Plenty of kayaks, and canoe's to enjoy the water. Close to the town of Bridgton and it's amenities. Would defiantly consider going there again.

I stayed at the house for 3 nights with my family (husband and 3 boys ages 13, 10, 8), my mom and my brother's family (his wife, their girls ages 3 and 1) and their dog. The view from the kitchen/living room/dining area is phenomenal. The kids loved the ping pong table and being able to sled in the backyard and skate out on the frozen pond. We had plenty of space for everyone. A few issues: The queen size mattress in the basement bedroom (where my husband and I slept) needs to be replaced - it was truly awful. The bunk room in the basement has no door - it would be great if there was at least a curtain there. And the baseboard heat in all but the bedroom in the basement wasn't working at all during our stay (living room, bathroom, bunk room thermostats). We brought this up to the owners but they were unable to get someone out to look at it until after we left. The main issue with this was that it was well below freezing at night during our stay and while the house held heat well, it was particularly uncomfortable to shower in the cold bathroom. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

The views! Away from it all yet just 5 or so minutes to town. Nicely decorated, clean, loved it.

The family commented it was the best place we have stayed at on Woods Pond!

Amazing spot for a family of 8 or more!!! Phone and internet service was spotty at best but the outdoor activities more than cover that (and if it rains, head to the Magic Lantern down town for a table service movie theatre!!! Or spend the day at Bridgton Books (amazing comes to mind), a book store just like we grew up with!!Just loved this spot, we’ll be back!!~Karen

My husband and I had the most perfect vacation with our friends at the house on Woods Pond. The house is lovely, open, spacious, and has great water access. We loved being able to use the kayaks and spend our days floating on the lake. The house was truly perfect and we hope to return again.

House was great. We had a group of 10 for an annual trip and we’d definitely come back here. Plenty of room for lawn games, swimming, fires and great for just lounging around. Lots of room and lots of fun!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Valerie was great and extremely responsive during the booking process -- we didn't need anything during our stay though. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for the weekend. The "pond" is really a small lake and was super clean and delightful. Valerie has a nice little dock that juts out into the water and the kayaks were great to use. The house was clean upon arrival, check-in was easy and the property was gorgeous all around. I would definitely recommend this home for a nice weekend getaway! It's about a 5 min drive to Bridgton, which was a cute town with coffee shops and a Hannaford.

The house is brand new, very tastefully done. The living room and master bedroom both overlook the beautiful lake. Very private, dead end street. Plenty of parking. We visited during January. The lake was frozen and allows ice fishing, snowmobiling, ice skating. The owner was very easy to communicate with, she always responded very promptly. It is definitely on our return list.

There are numerous features of this beach side property that our three generation family of seven adults and five youngsters enjoyed during our vacation week in August. A spacious front lawn along with a few shrubs and trees provided a flexible mix of sun and shade to meet the needs of everyone in our party. The small sandy beach with a gentle slope into the water was perfect for toddlers. The water is clear although out deep the bottom is rather mucky. Although the kitchen is hardly equipped to satisfy the needs of a demanding chef, the conveniently located barbeque served as the centerpiece for preparing most of our meals.  The additional but limited seating on thedeck provided a pleasant alternative for taking our mid-day meals. Measured against most lakeside rentals, the HVAC and water supply are excellent.  Our list of deficiencies could be shortened by addressing some of the following limitations: Garbage cans with secure lids would deter nighttime scavengers from creating a mess, Auxilliary storage to shelter our seven bicycles and numerous strollers would have been a big plus, And a wifi signal with enough bandwidth to read the newspaper was notably absent. All members of our party would have applied a higher rating had the bedding been of at least minimum quality. Regrettably, the noisy and uncomfortable mattresses contributed to numerous sleepless nights. For many in our party, the living room sofa and excess futons became the bedding of choice during our stay. 

Would love to come back in the summer

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation - great house for little kids, especially with the big lawn and sandy beach. We've already booked for next year!

An awesome home to gather with your family and relax. The views are incredible. Very clean and plenty of room for all. We hope to return next summer.

This is a beautiful house that was PERFECT for a big family weekend. There is plenty of space in the finished basement (with two bedrooms) for kids to be self contained, and the other rooms gave the adults plenty of space. The yard is spacious and private with plenty of room to swim, and the main window on the first floor gives breathtaking views 24/7. A real gem.

I rented this home this past weekend and I couldn't have found a more perfect place! What a beautiful, private location with amazing views. My guests loved everything about it!

The property was well maintained and as described. We had one question during the beginning of our stay, where the homeowner responded relatively quickly to explain the circumstances.

We stayed here from 8/27/16 - 9/3/16 and enjoyed this lovely home and perfect location!! The yard was huge like no other on the lake that we saw. Access to the lake could not have been any better. We enjoyed kayaking, swimming, paddle boarding and the fire pit. The home had everything we needed. The owners responded promptly to any questions we had. We would stay here again and again. My only critique was the bottom level of the home could benefit from an a/c unit like the one on the main level of home. It felt more humid on the bottom level and that could have been due to the time of year as well as the lack of air circulation on any lower level of a home. Overall, our experience was enjoyable and the accommodations were great!!! You will not be disappointed.

A group of 12 of us stayed for a weekend snowboarding trip and the house was great. Plenty of space for everyone and no one felt cramped. Kitchen was great for cooking large meals and dish washer made cleaning easy. Balcony and the view were both great. I imagine it looks even better in the summer. Shops, stores, and Shawnee peak all within a 15 minute drive if you need anything. Val was great. Easy to communicate with and answered all and any questions we had. We were only disappointed that the wifi was not working as well as we hoped. It was either too slow to use or not working at all. The driveway was very icy but it snowed and rained that weekend so it was expected. In the end, we enjoyed our time and we would definitely stay again!

Rented the house for a birthday weekend with friends & family. Val was very responsive & accomodating. The house is exactly as expected from the photos (new, nicely furnished, etc). We loved the open concept as it enabled a larger group of us to all cook & spend time together. 8 of us skied at Shawnee on Sat which was a 17 minute ride. The rest of the group stayed back to enjoy the house & frozen pond. I would definitely recommend the house for any season (easy access to skiing was a major plus for us, but there is a beautiful deck & fire pit for summer use).

I absolutely loved this house! I can't say enough great things about it. It has it all. Everything is so clean and new and there was everything we needed to have a fun and relaxing trip. It was so nice to kick back and enjoy the beautiful view of the lake from the wall of windows. There were many cute places for shopping, dining and hiking, etc. within a short drive. Also, the owner made it very easy to plan and was super friendly & accommodating! I highly recommend staying here!
