This was our second year at this location and it could not have been better. The area is saturated with beauty. We hiked, kayaked, and had a wonderful time with family. We look forward to returning next year.
Well equipped and decorated. Friendly, helpful hosts who were easy to reach and responsive to our needs/questions. We have rented many cabins (and owned one) and this is one of the best. We visit family in ME and NH regularly and it is nice to have the waterfront area for activities for all ages. We hope to return on future visits!
This cabin was a very relaxing time for my family. We needed to just unwind and it was a quiet retreat for us. The cabin was very clean and beautiful. The sun room (porch) was my favorite place to sit and enjoy morning coffee. Thank you for a wonderful week!
The perfect place for us to relax as well as visiting friends and family who are in the area. This is our second visit. The cabin is welcoming, clean and well equipped.
Brett is very accommodating and always available for questions and suggestions for activities in the area. Needless to say, we will be back again.
There were some inconsistencies between the listing and the property owners' expectations as far as the condition we needed to leave the cabin in upon checking out. We were asked by the owner to wash our own towels and sheets. For the price I feel that all cleaning should have been covered by the owners, especially considering that we were responsible and did not leave the place a mess. We also found out upon arrival that we were responsible to take our own trash and recycling to a waste center. It would have been nice to see that in the listing instead of assuming it'd be provided. It was doubly inconvenient in that the waste center was not open on our departure day and we were supposed to be quarantining and not technically allowed to leave the cabin grounds. The owner let us leave our last day's trash but I felt that the expectations could have been clearer as many of the other listings we viewed were. Advice to the owners, please update the listing to reflect exactly what you require your renters to be responsible including some cleaning and trash.
Also, advice to future renters, be advised nearly every dish in the kitchen was filthy and we spent the first 3 hours hand washing and drying. Cups in the cupboard lined with sticky orange juice, pans greasy and stuck on food. I expect that isn't a reflection on the owners but rather the previous renter. Also the bathroom floor was sticky and brown, like faint dried on mud or something, so I washed that upon arrival.
This is my first time renting a privately owned cabin so maybe it is normal to find it dirty and to find actual expectations varying from the online listed ones. Just pointing it out in case anyone cares to know.
Overall we had a great time and are already considering going back next year, and we recommend this cabin and the area to others.
Beautiful cabin in the woods. Jen is very responsive and helpful. Weâve stayed there several times and we keep going back! I hate to give it a glowing review because that will make it more popular and harder to book! Thanks Jen and Donna for your beautiful cabin.
Beautiful cabin located on a very quiet and peaceful set of ponds. Plenty to do at the lakes, kayaking, fishing, swimming, hiking and more. The whole process was so smooth and easy. The host was great to work with and responded almost immediately to any question I had. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway to enjoy the outdoors.
This is our third year. We love the cabin and location. We feel at home. Very peaceful and a great getaway in nature. Our last morning we were blessed by a visit of a mother deer and two babies. Can't wait for next year. Carl
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. I was scheduled for surgery right after vacation, so the serenity of the place was perfect! It was clean and beautiful inside and out. The only thing I would complain about was the height of the bed! I'm 4'10"!! lol
Thanks for a great time!
This is our second time staying at Bret and Donnaâs cabin. It is hands down the best vacation rental we have stayed in. We ran into a slight, unavoidable maintenance issue this time around, and Bret was immediately on it and got it fixed right away, frequently checking in and making sure we were comfortable. The location is quiet and peaceful, and the cabin itself is clean and well-maintained. Our only regret was that we were so busy visiting friends and family that we didnât get to enjoy more time in the cabin itself!
This was our 2nd year of renting a cabin in the Shapleigh area, and it was, by far, the best experience. If you love knotty pine, youâll love this place. The cabin, parking and access were all great. The owner was very informative and helpful. Thanks.
My husband and I, along with our 17 yr old twins had a fabulous time in Bret's Maine log cabin. We had been a little worried that our teens might get bored, but no such problem. We enjoyed hanging out in the homey cabin, reading, playing games and having cookouts. We also loved the peaceful pine forest setting, hiking paths, kayaking and swimming off the dock. A pure dream vacation! Beautiful memories made that will last a life time!
This was our second time staying here, and my family loved it again! The property was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The owners were very open with their communication and quick to get back to me. We look forward to coming back next year.
The cabin was really great. It was very peaceful and quiet, cabin was clean, comfortable, charming and close to family in the area. Use of the kayaks was an extra added bonus. Property owner was very informative and helpful.
We really enjoyed our stay in this holiday home. It is very cozy and secluded. The house is in excellent condition and equipped with everything you need. The landlords Bret and Donna are very nice and helpful. Many thanks for everything. We will recommend the cabin.
We chose this cabin due to proximity to friends and family in the area. The reviews were accurate and our stay was very pleasant.
The cabin has everything we needed for the 2 weeks we were there. The owner, Bret was always a text away and responded to questions and suggestions very quickly. A very pretty and quiet area. We enjoyed our stay.
From the moment we pulled up to the cabin, we knew we picked the right place. The inside, from top to bottom was charming and comfortable for the three of us. It was so nice waking up and having coffee and a good book out in the sunroom. With the kayaks, we were able to take our grandson out on the pond for his first time. We'll definitely return on another trip.
