The home and host were lovely - simple check-in and check-out. The house was very clean and well-appointed - we appreciated the hosts attention to detail, including plenty of high quality linens/towels. This place captures all there is to love about Maine.

Our family had a wonderful, relaxing stay at this gorgeous home which is just as pictured. The open concept first floor allowed us all to engage in our activities while enjoying the stunning view. The first floor master suite was spacious and the bed very comfortable. I also got to watch the sunrise each morning from under the covers through the sliding doors in the room. Our adult children stayed upstairs and was very private. Our two grandchildren both wanted to stay in the bunk room even though there is another bedroom available - they ended up sleeping separately - I didn't realize how much they would both want the bunks. The house is well stocked in the kitchen with cookware, dinnerware - even down to martini glasses and cocktail shakers. We picked up our food provisions at the Hannaford about five minutes a way. Bridgeton is a small town close by and we enjoyed some of the shops and ice cream store. We picked up lobster one night and made our own rolls and pizza from the local spot for our last night. We brought hammocks for the yard, which were perfect, along with flotation devices which I would recommend. We had great weather and the lake is amazing - picture perfect. Communications with Curtis were quick and simple. A gracious host for a stunning property. Highly recommend.

My family stayed here. Two little, grands and even a great grand! Plenty of room. We have rented in past years but will definitely be coming back here. The home is extremely cleanly and stocked with things you need. I saw some negatives about the trash process but the dump site is truly right down the road. It’s not an issue at all. Don’t let that sway your decision. The view is worth the $$$. Having coffee on the deck alone was priceless. Thank you Ranta family for sharing this space with us!

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.
