First off, so there is no confusion, we loved our time at the house, on the property, overall great. A couple things definitely would want to convey. If youâre going in the winter and there is snow, the house is truly in the woods, and a 4 Wheel Drive vehicle was very necessary.
My family enjoyed staying at this property. The house was secluded and private, the pond access was ideal for kayaking and swimming for our young son, and the surrounding area was very nice. I appreciated that the house had some helpful safety features for a toddler including stair gates. We enjoyed our stay very much!
Loved our visit to this log home. Very spacious and well equiped kitchen. Amazing views of the lake. Had everything you need for a nice relaxing trip with your family or group of friends. They give access to their canoe and kayaks. Theres a place to gather around a fire and a deck to enjoy the views and grill for your needs.Also an indoor fire place with plenty of wood available! Thanks for the memories. Debra, Dave and Cali
This Could be a really nice place to stay - However the cabin feels a bit neglected. The location was beautiful the structure itself was great but it isn't really well kept. The fridge, counters and couch were dingy, the microwave handle was held together by tape, the shower had hair in it upon arrival, they were SO MANY flies upon arrival, Some windows were missing screens, there were excessive cobwebs, and only two mattresses were decent. Would love to had made this a repeat place to rent but I'm sad to say it's not going to be.
We had a wedding in the area so we found this spot. It was a cool cabin right on the water. Wish we had more time to enjoy it as it was a beautiful secluded area.
We had such an amazing time at this location. It was exactly what our group was looking for and the pond was such a great backdrop. We enjoyed kayaking and just relaxing by the fire pit. All of our friends said it was one of the best trips they have had and want to return again and again. Thanks for the awesome stay!
The cabin was super cute and cozy! And the owner was so kind and had great communication! Only complaint would be the cleanliness- some rooms were quite dusty and had some trash on the floor under one of the beds. But otherwise, 4 stars!
Tiny pond but the peacefulness was just what we wanted. No neighbors! The camp was big enough for parents, children and grandkids to visit. Small beach but sandy spot for little ones. We would definitely go there again â„ïž
Clean, true to the description, friendly, responsive owners, well stocked.
Suggestion to visitors: go to the Gem and Mineral Museum in Bethel. It is world class.
Note for older visitors: There are no safety bars in either shower.
What an amazing little gem of a cabin on a lake close to a great little downtown with quality food and friendly people! Property manager gave us a call shortly after we arrived and made sure we were satisfied with the property. Lake is nice and quiet with plenty of sights to see as you swim, canoe and kayak. It truly is âthe way life should be!!!â
Our family had a wonderful time at this house. It is a beautiful secluded home. We played in the water every day and kayaked down the crooked River. The water is warm and clear, and nice and shallow for our little ones. This is a perfect spot for a quiet family vacation!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house/description is accurate. The host made us very comfortable answering all the questions and giving suggestions along the way. Kids enjoyed the hikes around and the papoose pond rides in the kayaks. They want to come back to the same place again in summer.
Had a great time on our hunting trip! The cabin was extremely comfortable and spacious! The rental process was very easy and well organized! Looking forward to making this an annual trip if possible. Couldnât ask for a better place to stay. Thank you again
My husband and I are familiar with papoose pond and the surrounding area. This was a perfect quite getaway. The cabin had everything we would want to explore the pond or sit by the beach. The house was comfortable and absolutely what we were hoping for. We booked again for next year.
When Jeff and I were in our early 20's, we started going up to coastal Maine every year in the summer. Raised in NY and southern CT, we fell in love with the quaint New England villages, the pine air, cool night summer breezes, the people, and the laid-back lifestyle. In 2001, we lived in a condo in downtown Boston and wanted to find a weekend retreat that offered lots of outdoor activities throughout the year. We had heard about the Lakes Region in Maine and decided to explore that area of Maine. The first time we saw this Log Home, set in the woods, on a beautiful lake, we knew it had everything we had hoped to find. With nearby skiing at Sunday River and Mt. Abram's and the interstate trail system of cross country and snowmobile trails - it would provide us with plenty to do during the winter. In the summer, we could canoe, kayak, swim, hike... or just relax by the lake. And, the nearby quaint New England towns of Bridgton and Bethel reminded us of why we were drawn to Maine so many years ago.
The house sit on a lake and faces the sunset. Each evening, you can sit on the deck, watching the loons on the lake, as the sun dips below the White Mountains in the distance.
