The camp was quaint, great kitchen! Unfortunately there was confusion & communication issues with our host not being notified that we had booked property. We received a refund from the host for the nights we didn't stay due to propane running out. The host had intended to have camp closed up the week we had booked.

The location of King’s Kastle on Salmon Lake is excellent. The lake is wide at that point and offers great views of the sunrise, particularly from the upstairs master bedroom suite. The lake has less development than others where we have stayed in Maine. We enjoyed seeing loons, eagles, and osprey which are abundant. We went in the latter part of August when the kids’ summer camps had closed, which reduced boat traffic. The cottage is roomy and has a long list of amenities. All appliances were in good working order. The decorations and furnishings were an interesting eclectic mix. I was able to access the internet easily through the owner’s computer but could not get access for my own device. That was not an issue for me since I only required light, routine use, but it would be something to clarify in advance with the host if you are planning to really work from the cottage and need quick access to all your work files on your own PC. We would like to go back to King’s Kastle in 2024 and stay for two weeks instead of one.

The "Kastle" was great. We had an issue with the wifi which was not resolved. When you are in Maine on a beautiful lake with a family of loons, who needs electronics? Take some pots if you want to cook. Mr. King was responsive when we inquired about the Air Conditioning. There is 1 portable unit downstairs and 1 upstairs. The downstairs bedrooms were a little warm. Overall a great vacation.

The view from the property was beautiful. The upstairs was outstanding. We loved the front porch. We ate out there often. Bedroom pillows need to be updated downstairs. The dishwasher was broken and smelly when we arrived. Watching the birds was a favorite pastime. Eveyone liked the kyaks. Thank you. We had a great week weatherwise also

The listing indicated several things that were not available or broken. There is no air conditioning, even though it was indicated as available; some windows don't open and some won't close. Beach shown in ad is gone and steps into water not safe. Outside steps into house dangerously tilted, inside stairs to second floor very steep and stair treads too narrow for a normal sized foot. No info on accessing wifi provided. Floor of house tilted and uneven (1st floor). Very musty smell in all rooms. Spider webs on inside of windows. Very damp in house. We left early and would not recommend this location for renting. Host very rude on phone - called renter a "stupid idiot" among other names. Did not offered to help - just yelled.

The property owner was wonderful to deal with, very responsive. The setting of the cottage was just great, with a marvelous screened porch overlooking the water. The large master BR was incomparable with marvelous panoramic sunrise views. There are two incredibly comfy leather recliners in the great room for watching the 50” TV. The dining area also has a wonderful water view. The negatives: the cottage needs a deep cleaning and the kitchen flooring should probably be replaced. The DW didn’t work but the owner said he’s going to replace it along with the garbage disposal. There was a serious moldy smell under the sink which on rainy days with the windows shut up could be smelled on into the great room. Unfortunately we ended up leaving early because of this. If these issues were addressed, I would give this cottage five stars.
