My teen had a break from school so we rented this lovely quiet home on the lake for five days. Another teen from the school joined us as well and we all enjoyed the peace and tranquillity the place provided. Even though it was a bit cold outside, the kayaks were used when the water was calm. The heating was easy to use as well as the various kitchen items, tv, etc. It’s a very user friendly common sense home. We would definitely stay here again.

This quaint cottage, mere steps from a crystal clear lake, exceeded our expectations in every way! Homey and comfortable interior (well equipped kitchen, good beds with vast array of pillow options, fun game cupboard) combined with terrific amenities outside (patio furniture, expansive dock, hammock, beaches, Adirondack chairs and nice kayaks), made for a perfect stay. Rosa was lovely to communicate with, and flexible as Colby College switched the dates of parents wkend on families this year. Can’t wait for a repeat visit, what a truly special property.

What an incredible spot! Although it was too cold for much swimming, the beach and yard area are an absolute dream. There's plenty of great places to play and lounge outside. Inside the owners have thoughtfully appointed the house for kids and adults alike. There's even a box of toys! We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks so much!

This home has been well planned out, it has beds for 6 adults plus kids. Plenty of land for kids to play and adults to enjoy. The updated dock has a bench on it for watching the loons near buy, and it has a solid footing, does not move at all..
