The accommodations, privacy, Lake,and location were perfect. The kids had a ball in the lake, in the boats, on the float, and fishing. There was everything we needed to entertain and feed our big family. And town and stores are close by. All the kids and adults had a wonderful and memorable time. Great family memories were made.

I gave 5 stars to “accuracy of listing”, but really the listing doesn’t do the compound justice. It’s even nicer in person. The Maine house is more spacious than appears in the pictures, which is a bonus with a large group such as we had. We’re an extended family of 9 adults and 6 young children, so having 3 houses to spread out the families was ideal. During our week, we experienced a summer nor’easter, which was a bummer - but it didn’t ruin the week because the compound is that special. We rented a pontoon boat for the week and the storm winds were so strong that the dock (which is not anchored) flipped and broke, setting the boat loose (a near disaster). Apparently this has never happened before and our host assures us that he’ll be looking into strengthening the dock in case a storm such as we experienced ever happens again. The courthouse is truly charming. As the matriarch, I’m semi-tempted to claim that for my husband and me should we rent again - but I won’t because that would mess up the family spacing. But, it’s lovely and quiet. The lake house is also delightful. The location near the water made us all think it might be a converted boat house except that it’s so much sturdier and homier than any boat house I’ve ever been in. Speaking of water, it was awesome to have the watercraft that’s available for use. We rented a pontoon boat for tubing, but there’s a canoe, paddle boat and 3 kayaks to use. This was a real bonus. We had thought the pebbly beach might be an issue, but it really wasn’t. The kids who didn’t like the feel of the rocks wore water shoes and everyone enjoyed the lake water, which we all agreed was the clearest lake we’d ever seen. And loons - so many loons! :) One note: the listing info notes there’s a crib in the Maine house, but it’s no longer there. We had to do a Walmart run for a substitute. There’s a pack ‘n play still, but not a crib. I only gave 4 stars for cleanliness because the guests before us had at least a couple dogs and there was quite a bit of dog hair still in the house and 9 piles of different-sized dog doo in the yard. My husband found a shovel in the shed and did a full yard sweep. I blame the renters for this, though, rather than the cleaners since they may not have seen the piles outside. But yuk. How can people not clean up after their dogs?? All in all, despite the bizarre summer nor’easter and two days of rain we loved it and hope to return!

We loved our time at the 3 sisters property. The views of the lake are stunning, and you truly feel like you're the only people around. There were a variety of amenities provided including paddle boat, paddle boards and several floats as well as multiple locations for outdoor fires. We are so grateful to have made so many memories as a family that we will cherish for years to come.

We were fortunate to find the 3 sisters compound for our family reunion. It was simply outstanding! The 3 homes allowed our family to comfortably spread out. The deck, beach front, boats, raft, quiet lake with loons, ducks, eagles and geese were just fantastic. Many dinners together at the main house with lots of joy watching sunsets. We hope to return next year.

Perfect space for a big extended family week
Perfect space for a big extended family week
This is a unique property. We had private space for our adult kids and their spouses/significant others in the smaller houses, good rooms for the older generation in the main house, and plenty of lawn and waterfront for everyone to have fun. We brought our own canoe, used the paddle boards and kayak already there and rented a pontoon boat for part of our week which we were able to moor there. The lake is beautifully clear and deep enough for good swimming. There was plenty of kitchen equipment, space for cooking and eating for our 14 adult group and the deck was superb. Dexter had everything we needed between Hannafords, Ace Hardware and good ol' Renys. We have stayed other places in southern Maine but nothing compared to this.

Wonderful property for large family. Lake is crystal clear, great for swimming, boating, tubing with the kids. With 3 houses on one property, it allows for community as well as privacy at the same location. 2 firepits were great for bonfires at night and cooking smores with the kids. We boiled fresh Maine Lobsters on the outdoor stone hearth which were enjoyed by all. Great for large group. Hope to return next summer!!
