Older, fun-loving lakeside home. Plenty of access to Highland Lake using kayaks. Lake is nice and quiet. Lawn certainly needs mowing, no coffee filters available but otherwise, kitchen well stocked.

A beautiful home in great location with all the amenities needed to be comfortable. Enjoyed it so much , we are looking to rent it for a week next time!

Great location for our event in Gray. The cottage is lovely and has several updates especially the kitchen.

My family and I visited this beautiful cabin on the lake for a weekend retreat as our first time in Maine. There were 5 adults and one infant. The property did not include a pack and play, but we brought one to leave on the property for anyone’s future use. To start with the great things about our stay: we loved the unique cabin atmosphere and the proximity to the lake. It is fairly secluded so it almost felt like being at summer camp. There’s a great propane fire table we all sat around for dinner and a firepit by the water. There was plenty of space for everyone to have their own area, and we enjoyed the rustic feel. Unfortunately, there were some unpleasant moments of the stay. To begin, when we arrived on the property, the cleanliness was not up to our standard. Keep in mind when booking, this property is “dog friendly”, but the amount of dog hair still looming around was unacceptable. Additionally, when sitting on one of the couches, a previous dog had left us a “gift” under one of the pillows which one of us sat in. We spent the first half hour of our stay cleaning the mess from the couch and sweeping some excessive dog hair. Though hours after my initial message to Vacasa, they offered to send someone to properly clean the property, but by that time, we had already done the work. Later, they refunded our cleaning fee, but I’m not that was enough given the unpleasantness of the couch situation. However, if I had the chance to come back, I’d love to stay at this property again as it was a place to unwind and relax while catching many fish just right off the dock!

This pup friendly lake house was the perfect size for our family of 4 (3 adults, 1 toddler, and a 40lb dog). Every room was decent sized and had plenty of common space to spread out. It was very peaceful and mostly quiet: We only saw a few kayaks out on the water, but one of the neighbors was cutting down trees and clearing their lot during our stay. The house was very well equipped with kitchenware and lake activity gears. We were happily surprised that there were life jackets for infants and toddlers too. The only complaint I had was that there were visible dust bunnies around the house, which required some cleaning on our part when we arrived. Overall it was a well-kept property at a great location; we were happy with our stay and would love to come back next year!

We loved this house, beautifully decorated! It had everything we needed; well equipped kitchen, lots of water play options for the lake, beach towels, fire pit w comfy chairs. Highly recommend!

Really fun time and great property for families and dogs. Upstairs bathroom sink was not working and master bed was SUPER squeaky!

We are avid house renters and unfortunately, this property and Vacasa management were very disappointing. First and foremost, no owner has the right to come to the property unannounced. This owner did and he failed to identify himself to my family. When you rent a home, it's your home for that time. If there are repairs that need to be made, you callnthe tenant first. Then upon arrival, you disclose to the tenants who you are. This assumes you cslled ahead and requested permission to come there. When its rented, its not your house. Definite personal safety risk that should never happen. As for Vacasa, it took 17 phone calls to three levels of management to agree and they refunded just $375. This 3 night stay cost $1900. It was severely overpriced for what it was. House pics look pretty. Lake is nice but somewhat shallow due to rocks. Kayak is ok but limited boating. Next, house has AC upstairs, but that's 1 bedroom. Downstairs bedrooms are 80° with no AC. Kitchen lacked a dishwasher. Don't go on vacation thinking I'm the dishwasher. Firepit lacked a poker to manage the fire. Seems pretty basic. In the end, the layers of fees and taxes more than doubled the actual cost of our stay. Management was curt and unresponsive. Talking to customers seems to be beneath them. There are too many good properties out there. Vacasa is not a management company I'd use again. This owner is simply new and inexperienced and Vacasa's standards are too low. They ahould be helping them but oerhaps that too is beneath them. At $1900 for three nights, this house should be awesome. This house is far from awesome and is not money well spent.

Absolutely stunning property at the end of the road (zero traffic), great dock, stellar yard, cool firepit. Setup with all the "toys" kayaks, paddle boards, row boat. The beach is super shallow and great for little kids. We will 100% be back to this amazing lake house.
