Cabine au bord de l'eau au lac Sebago

This cottage and the one next to it were built to be seasonal camps, not year round homes. One of the appeals when we purchased the camp was that it had a rustic, camp feel, at a beautiful location. This is what we as a family, and a lot of our guests look forward to when we “go away to camp.” Neither of the camps are unstable. They’re built like many other camps on the lake, not on an actual cement foundation. My husband is a certified home inspector, so naturally this is something we looked at upon purchasing the property. When we updated plumbing and electric in 2019, the camp was thoroughly inspected by the town of Standish code enforcement. Should it have not passed inspection, we would not have received occupancy and not have been able to rent the camp. All electrical work was done by a master electrician. All wires are safely installed in switch boxes and neatly run along the interior of the camp as necessary. Yes, they are visible and painted to blend in because there is no insulation or sheetrock covering them (again, like many seasonal camps in the area). We put a new drilled well in last summer and our water passed the state of Maine basic water test. The test did show that we had slightly elevated levels of manganese and iron (again, common in our area). Although perfectly safe, manganese can give off an odor. Therefore, our plumber installed a whole camp filtration system. This system lessens the smells and sometimes eliminates them completely (depending on the level of manganese coming from the well). Based on the filter schedule in the past, it wasn’t quite time to change the filter during your stay but this can of course vary based on how much water is used by guests. Had you reached out to me during your stay, we could have come to change the filter. It only takes 5 minutes to change out filters. I can’t fix a problem I don’t know about. I hope that if you book with VRBO again, you’ll reach out to the host with any questions or concerns and give them the opportunity to resolve the issue before leaving a poor review.
