Upon arrival there where lots of flys in the house, may be due to the screen on the sliding door that has taped up rips. All thru the week we battled with bugs in the house. The dishwasher was full of dishes. There is a problem with the smell of the water or the backup of sewer gas. Not quite sure which one but not very pleasant to get washed in or take a shower in. Neighbors house is very close and the fire pit is almost on the property line, also they are very nice people you feel like you infringe on their privacy. My wife and I been going to different properties in Maine the last 15 years and this was one of the most disappointing places we stayed at for the money we payed.

We stayed here for a summer get-away. Proximity to the lake could not have been more amazing- we fully enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat. The house was perfect for our needs, plenty of space, well stocked kitchen, great grill. Also being 4 minutes from Hannaford made shopping and cooking a breeze. We also enjoyed the local ice cream shop daily!

I traveled with my 3 kids and pets, and the house itself was wonderful with all the amenities you could want. We did a couple of day trips to Belfast & Camden which are within an hour of the house. We also did a couple of day trip hikes that were nearby as well. Hannaford is 5 minutes away which is so convenient. The neighbor Dennis was very nice but I was not anticipating the houses to be so close. Overall great time with family and friends.

The place is clean, big enough to for everyone (we were 6) to have their space. The location amazing. We went on and in the lake everyday, kayaking was very nice, and dinner on the patio with the view. Jeanne is a very sweet and she made sure everything was perfect for us. Will be back for sure!

We had a wonderful stay! The pond is beautiful! The home was exactly as described. Great location.
We volunteered at the Maine Quilt show so when we returned to the house it was very relaxing to enjoy the peace and quiet, sitting on the deck watching the ducks and loons.
The owner was extremely responsive about inquiries. And went out of her way to help return forgotten items. Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful week at Jeanne's home. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. All of the amenities made for an easy week (well-equipped kitchen, laundry, linens, AC and fans, gas grill). The lake was perfect for our kayaks and paddleboard, and the weather was the best we've had all summer!

The was a perfect place for family to gather for a graduation. Everything was as expected and the house was very well-equipped for cooking and hanging out. Wish the weather had been better because the lake access is terrific. Jeanne was responsive and prompt in all her communications. We’d definitely come here again if visiting this area.

This is a quiet little lake house and was perfect for our family to gather for Christmas. The owner Jeanne was very nice and accommodating, despite our stay being unfortunately cut short due to inclement weather and an associated untitle outage. We’ll definitely be keeping her lake house in mind for any future visits to the area. Mahalo Jeanne for your hospitality and understanding!

A wonderful home right on the lake with stunning views. Very well maintained with every possible convenience. We went for our daughters wedding which was held at their new home a few miles away. We will rent this exceptional property when we visit. Home away from home. We did not have time to use the canoes on this trip. Highly recommend.

Absolutely loved staying at this property. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
The location is nice, the lake view and access were great. We had a ball kayaking and paddle boating on the nice days and enjoyed the rainy days inside playing games and watching movies, cooking in the lovely kitchen.
If you enjoy antiquing, there are some great shops nearby as well.
Can't wait to return!

We had a wonderful week at the lake! The house was clean and perfect for us and our three kids. The lake stays shallow for a nice distance which we loved with our littlest being only 19 months old. Jeanne was a pleasure and was so responsive to all our questions and inquiries. Great location - anything you need is 10-25 minutes away. We will definitely look into coming back next year!

My Family and I has a great time at the property.
Even though the weather was very hot we had grand
time. Swimming, boating and floating kept us plenty cool.
Also the home has AC. There is everything you might need at the property. The kitchen has all the spices, utensils and pots and pans that you could ever need to prepare your dinners.
Will be back for sure.

A great time was had by all!
We all had a great time. We spent most of our days either in or on the water. We enjoyed grilling out on the deck overlooking the lake. On the day it rained, we gathered in the living room to play games. There was plenty of room for all 8 of us.

Little piece of Heaven
Our stay was truly enjoyable aside from the unusually cool June weather. We weren’t able to utilize the lake like we had hoped because of the blustery conditions until the end of our trip. It was hard leaving that morning. The area is very quiet and clean. The lake is stocked for some good fishing (which we released). The kayaks were an added bonus. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials for making meals. Communication with host was easy and fast - had a few hiccups but nothing worth mentioning. We love the area so much we looked at purchasing property.

Beautiful spot
We absolutely loved the lake. Bummer that one of the bedrooms didn’t have a/c which we hadn’t realized. Other than that, we had an incredible trip and loved our time here. We would come again.

Great spot to relax and spend time with family. Everything you need to cook, play games, fish and spend time on the beautiful lake. We saw many birds and waterfowl, the loons are our favorite! Very clean and fit the 6 of us perfectly, the 1/2 bath in the laundry room was really helpful. Bonus was 5 antiques stores within one mile of the house! Jeanne was a great host, very helpful and responsive, would highly recommend!

The house sits on the lake near a reeded cove that has no homes on the left, so you have better than average privacy. Apple trees brought deer close a couple nights and early morning. Neighbors were friendly. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and spices. Great space for cooking on a top of the line gas stove. Lots of plates glasses and bowls. The passageway to downstairs and upstairs is a bit narrow and without handrails. The upstairs bedroom is very large, but the ceiling is low. The 3 TVS that we saw are good size and worked well. The internet was very good. The owner was very pleasant and made sure we were happy.

We had a great get together at Jeanne's lake house! The kitchen was well equipt for cooking family meals while looking out at the sunset over the lake. We had the perfect amount of kayaks, canoes and paddle boats for 5 adults and a 2 year old. Enough rooms/bedrooms to space out too.
