Beautiful view. Worked for what we needed.
3.0
the scenery was great. we were unable to utilize the outdoor deck area much because of the amount of bird poop on the table, furniture and deck. this was actually one of the main reasons we picked this place because of the outside deck area. disappointed we couldn't use it. we tried cleaning it but it would not come off. we had to baby sit the toilet because it would not shut off and would run pump if you did not make sure tank was full. the fridge leaked a lot inside the bottom part of the fridge, had to keep a bowl to capture water. smelled very muggy. dock was unusable due to the amount of duck poop. no way to clean it. paddle boat leaked around the pedals. Zero privacy. needs some type of window coverings for nighttime. overall, pretty relaxing.

The property is a great place to relax on a quiet lake. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed. Great value!

If you’re looking to wake up to a beautiful lake view in the morning, you won’t be disappointed. The sunrise breaking through the trees into the windows each morning was lovely. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the cabin so didn’t mind that there wasn’t an oven.
The heater did a great job of taking off the chill. There was ample supply of water provided so we didn’t need to worry about usage. Extra TP in bathroom and a roll of paper towels was appreciated. We watched tv at night and had great reception.
The place is rustic and I expected that. It’s old and a bit wonky—sloped floors, toilet with shims underneath..
Cleanliness is of high importance and this is why I gave a 3 star rating.
The beds were all nice—but the living room furniture is very old and stained. We covered the couch with a bedspread so we could sit on it.
I understand that being located in the woods creates a mess—but the table and all the outdoor seats were so covered in bird poop that it was impossible to sit on.
Great location and scenery—-but needs furniture upgrade to really enjoy it.

We had great weather. Cabin was just as described. Kayaking was excellent.
Thank you for keeping your rental property affordable for local Mainers.

Clean, cozy, quiet, tucked in the woods, on a lake. Feels like you're in nature, away from the sounds of the city, but actually not too far from anything you might need. The calls of the loons at night were magnificent. Not too far a drive from Portland and Old Orchard Beach.

The stay was great. The one pit fall was the stairs that includes a flat incline that doesn’t have any type of slip resistant upgrade and with wet weather it was a recipe for falls.

Perfect location for a getaway. The property had everything you need and was very comfortable for a family of 4. Lake is beautiful, lot is big and very quiet, and the location is very close to grocery stores, restaurants, and sightseeing. Very short drive to Portland and we were even able to get food delivered one night. Would definitely stay again.

The cabin was very clean, and as described in the listing. When we visited, it was a heat wave - should the same happen to you, note that the air conditioning is the equivalent of a room air conditioner. 99% of the time it likely isn't necessary, but our first night was pretty uncomfortable. Also note that as it says in the description, there is no stove or oven. It is ~20 minutes to downtown Portland, and not much close by. The lake is beautiful, but a bit muddy for swimming right from the house without rafts. Overall a good stay, but the description is accurate.

Unfortunately thr weather was rainy and windy when we went. My boys had a great time( age 4 and 7) situated in outdoors and near a lake was so pretty. The fire pit was fun. Easy access and commute to get into downtown Portland. The cottage itself was quaint and decor was very cute with matching color scheme. It was not cluttered and very well kept. Contact with owner was prompt and reliable. We would totally stay again.

It was ok. I'm surprised the owner rents out the cabin so late in the Fall. The only heat is portable heaters and it was chilly in the cabin. We couldn't ever get warm! The other issue we had was with the shower. I was in the shower for less than 5 minutes, got all suds up, and the water pressure went to a dribble.

Our family of four is accustomed to "rustic", having just come from camping in Acadia. However, note there is only one bathroom, not the 1-1/2 mentioned in the description. But the real shocker was the lack of toilet paper - 1/2 roll for our two night stay. When I asked the owner where I might find an extra roll, the response was "Toilet paper isn't on our list of items we provide." and that we should go out and buy some. Really - for what we were paying to stay there, seems not unreasonable to expect an extra roll of toilet paper. Aside from really poor service on the part of the host, the location on the lake is very nice.

We had a great time! Beautiful location right on the water with your own little beach. I didn't realize there wasn't a stove/oven until I got there, but it was fine, we just used the grill. I had no problem finding it using GPS and instructions from the owner. There were 6 of us staying here for a girls weekend and there was plenty of space for all of us. I would love to stay here again!

We had an absolute blast during our mini vacation. Very clean, lots of household items provided and paddle boat was a huge hit. We enjoyed a fire by the lake almost every night. Greatly appreciated the lack of knickknacks scattered around. With a 1 1/2 year old running around it was very nice to let her wander and explore without constant worry. Highly recommend.

My husband and I stayed here for three nights with our 3 year old and 1 year old. We had a great time and enjoyed swimming, using the paddle boat and the campfire. The walk-in access to the lake was especially great for our 3 year old.
In the cabin, we really appreciated the lack of decorative knick-knacks, which made it possible to let our one year old walk around the main area of the cabin. For families considering renting with young children, we brought a tension gate to block off the access to the loft and used the extra water jugs to create a barrier around the heating unit.
Overall, we had a great stay!

Perfect Maine Retreat!
Six of us stayed at this beautiful lakeside house for three nights. I only wish it had been longer. The location is close to Portland for any "town" needs, but it feels isolated and immersed in nature. Great for BBQs and evenings spent by the fire-pit. I highly recommend it!
