Our stay at the cabin was wonderful quiet and great weather too host was wonderful and always responded quickly place was perfect and had everything needed to make our stay awesome thank you for a very memorable vacation
My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The location was convenient to family we were visiting close by and enabled us to have a quiet and scenic place to retreat to when needed. Everything was in place when we arrived and the owners went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.
This dog friendly 2BR cottage is right on crystal clear Tripp Lake, with a large screened in porch/family room. It is small but very well appointed and maintained. The weekend we were there it was very quiet, and we had the beach to ourselves. Enjoyed kayaking, hiking nearby, and hearing the loons daily. Owners and manager were very thoughtful and responsive. Highly recommend!
Carol is an outstanding host. Excellent communication and a well appointed property provided much need relaxing retreat from our busy work week.
A pleasure booking our stay and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a private getaway in southern Maine.
This cabin was the perfect, fully stocked with all appliances we could need. We had an 11 year old with us who loved the canoe and the hammock, and the fire pit and smoors!
We spent some time hiking and took a trip to the wildlife park. We mostly ate in the cabin, using the kitchen and the grill outside. It was a little chilly with no heating, which we were expecting but the beds were equipped with electric blankets and loads of spare blankets to it wasn't an issue.
Carol was a great host and answer all questions and checked din on us as well while we were there. We will hopefully be back in the summer when its a little warmer so we can swim in the lake!
This was a beautiful, cute little home to spend a long weekend in. The inside was a perfect rustic setting with many books & dvds to choose from on rainy days. The outside was beautiful, the water was warm and the hammock, grill, & eating area was just what we needed. The hosts were absolutely amazing to work with and Carol was very kind and had many suggestions for things to do. Highly recommend this place if youâre looking for a cabin getaway on a pond!
Lovely spot on the lake! Had fun on the paddle boat exploring. Also enjoyed the peace and quiet and listening to the loons! Even got to see fireworks!! Beautiful clean water!
Our family loved being in and on the lake. Great marsh areas to explore in the canoe. Our 12 year old granddaughter loved taking the paddle boat out to the raft. Great wildlife: loons frequently, an amazing water snake which we saw while fishing, and saw evidence of and heard a beaver. Plus the host provided the fixings for sâmores!
What a wonderful little spot. The lake is so beautiful and the shallow beach is perfect for kids. It felt very private and all the amenities like boats and grill and large picnic table made out outdoor living easy and fun. We brought dogs and they were easily contained on the property.
The house is comfy and clean. We watched movies and played cards and games--all of which were provided.
The owner was very attentive though we didn't need anything while we were there.
There is a grocery 5 minutes down the road.
This was the perfect summer get away. Having had such a good time it's easier to face going back to school and work now that fall is coming.
Definately recommend this lovely little slice of heaven.
We stayed for almost a week with a 1 1/2 year old. The cottage worked out great. The water was very clean and warm, and we enjoyed using the paddle boat and canoe. The cottage is a good size for our family of three and the owners made sure the place was stocked and ready for us to arrive. They were very attentive to all our needs both prior to arrival and were quick to answer a few questions we had once we arrived. I would recommend staying here to friends.
My husband and I took our two toddlers here for the week and we all had an amazing time. The lake was so peaceful and we all enjoyed using the canoe and paddleboat to explore. We saw LOTS of fish, loons, and even a bald eagle. The kids had plenty of room to run and play, and especially enjoyed picking the plentiful blueberries. There was plenty of outdoor seating and the hammock was a real plus. The cabin was very clean and cute, the perfect size for us. The owners made sure it was stocked with anything we might need (soap, dishes, towels, etc). We'll be back!
I hadn't been to Maine since I was maybe 9 years old and had always wanted the full experience whenever it was I returned. This place was definitely the best I could have hoped for. I flew up to Boston and met up with a friend and then we made the journey north. It was the perfect size for the two of us. There was lots of helpful info on the area just inside. Watching the sunset from the beach isn't something I could soon forget. Tripp lake is beautiful and we spent many hours canoeing around, swimming or laying on the floating dock. I had never before been in water so clean and refreshing. Definitely check out the little zoo they have up here and make a day trip out to Portland.
I plan on returning ASAP
Definitely give this place a try!
We love this property because the lake is right out the window, the beach and the raft are great for swimming and it's so nice to use the paddle boat and canoe. It's also a great location. We love hiking at the network of trails at Poland Springs, visiting the 24-hour LLBean store in Freeport, going to Portland for shopping or exploring, going to the Maine Wildlife Park down the road. In the right season, the blueberry picking is terrific right outside the door!
This is a cozy cottage and we have some families or couples who enjoy returning, creating their own family tradition with a special vacation spot. The lake is serene and beautiful with wildlife and a lovely cove to explore. It's wonderful place for children of any age and a wonderful place for a romantic getaway for couples. If you casinos, the Oxford one is about 15 minutes away. We happily accept most pets and all children! :)
