What a spectacular property. Beautiful setting on Taylor Pond and a well appointed house which was comfortable and had everything we needed for a cozy weekend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Summerfell. Taylor Pond is quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding (rented paddle board in Portland on our way). The house had everything we needed and the owners were responsive when we had a minor issue. We hated to leave!

This lake house on Taylor Pond was amazing! Our family consists of 7 adults and four children, 8,10, 1, and 2. My husband and I stayed in the guest house across the yard from the main house. In the main house there were plenty of bedrooms for the rest of the family, along with a very large kitchen and living room where we all gathered. It was immaculate and cozy. Our older grandchildren loved the game room with the large pulldown screen for our one movie night, along with an arcade machine and exercise bike. The yard is large and has a wonderful couch area for gathering. Our favorite part of the place was our private dock for kayaking and swimming and morning coffee -- and a huge hammock! Taylor Pond is peaceful, clean, and quiet and indeed a piece of heaven...

This is our best VRBO experience ever, compared to our 30+ previous rentals all over the US. We wanted a well-kept lakehouse with privacy, peace, and quiet all within an hour of a major airport. And we got it!
The site is quite private; the neighbors and boat traffic were barely noticeable. Lots of pine trees.
The house is spacious and immaculate. Awesome kitchen. Terrific firepit. Solid dock with kayaks. Excellent instructions and labels. Superb provisioning for coffee, laundry, cleaning - we did not have to run out and purchase a single thing except our food.
Our highest recommendation!
5.0
We had such a delightful experience at this magical property. The location and setting are stunning and feel very private and secluded, but you are just minutes away (about 10-15) from the Bates College campus and Lewiston/Auburn. The house is perfectly appointed with extremely comfortable beds and linens and a kitchen any chef would love. Our hosts responded quickly to any questions, and left/sent plenty of information about the house, local stores, and activities in the surrounding area. We had 3 couples and felt very comfortable with room to spread out. We happily give our highest recommendation.
