This was our 2nd year staying in the little red cottage. It is just the perfect spot if you want a quiet getaway. We will be back.

Perfect!
Perfect!
The title pretty much sums it up: this place was perfect. We were two nerdy nature-lovers looking for an escape from the Boston-area, and that's exactly what we got. Outside: private, right on the water, lots of nature (hello birds!). Inside: cozy, funky decor (hello Elvis!), great for cooking meals, beautiful view. The hosts: incredibly thoughtful and generous (thanks for the flowers and veggies!). Close to lots of great hikes/walks. We hope to return next year!

PERFECTLY peaceful freshwater vacation--close enough to everything-ocean, when you want that.

*my all-time favorite Midcoast vacation site *country acreage (beautiful field for running around, flying kites) *sweet cottage on quiet cove of a beautiful, ME pond--'think' loons, canoe, kayak, paddle board, swim *most amazing sunsets (& I've been around the world) *lovely, responsive 'landlords' * get-away-from-it-all (try it--you might like it--too nice a place to trash with a tv!)

I truly can't praise this property, and the hosts, highly enough. This was the perfect space for the two of us - close to action (if we needed it), convenient to shopping, yet secluded. I absolutely LOVED the house. Comfortable, clean, and everything you could need. I particularly appreciated how well equipped the kitchen was and the fresh flowers placed about the cabin by Liz and Ike before our arrival. Great Elvis shrine/bathroom with hot water and plenty of towels, too. Comfortable bed and lots of storage in the bedroom, very homey. The whole cabin is soothing and cozy with charming touches everywhere. The lake is amazing - clear and clean, abounding with dragonflies, toads and frogs. Loons and eagles make themselves at home. The lawn gently slopes down to the water, and there are easy to use stone steps leading into the lake. Perfect for those with bad knees, such as myself, or for kids. Magnificent swimming. I was in the lake all day, every day. A canoe and kayak are on the property for use, and it's a really lovely lake to paddle around. It's also quite quiet, we barely saw or heard any neighbors. Absolutely peaceful. The deck, with a very easy to use large grill, is a great respite from the sun. We made great use of it, it's the perfect place to chill out with a book and watch the sunrise and sunset. We loved this home so much here so much that we recommended it to family members while we were still here. Clean, comfortable, convenient and oh so peaceful. It's the perfect place to set aside your cares and relax. Liz and Ike are ideal hosts. I would absolutely stay here again, the best vacation rental I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy.

If you're looking for the quintessential Maine Camp experience, this is the place. The cabin is attractive and filled with whimsical decor. The place was spotless on our arrival and just exactly as described. But the setting and landscaping make this the perfect vacation spot. Beautifully landscaped, private and roomy. The lake is warm and clean and perfect for swimming or boating. We brought our kayaks but there is a canoe available for use. There are all sorts of interesting places to explore, including 100 acre island and a couple of inlets that we poked around in. Ike and Liz were delightful and provided lots of extras, such as a bowl of water waiting on the deck for our dog. And fresh flowers, not just upon our arrival but also mid-week. We will definitely be back.
