Lakefront property available for rental. Kayak, Skiing, Swimming, Fishing. Close proximity to Lewsiton/Auburn. 30 Minutes to Augusta and Less than an hour drive to Portland. Boat launch adjacent near property.
Good communication from host with all the details. Great view of the lake from backyard with firepit and grill. Can watch the sunsets also. Birds observed on the lake great egret and ducks. Good location to a number of golf courses. Route 197 diner and Dubois cafe short drive for group breakfast before tee time. Kitchen has everything to make a meal. Would be great next time to have a dish rack for those small items to hand wash and dry. Was able to take 10 second exposure shots of the night stars showing all the stars, standing in the driveway looking directly up for best results. Noted from other reviews it's close to a road and brought CVS earplugs for sleeping all good there.
Nice and clean . Loved game room up stairs, relaxing sittung on deck watching blue herring fish-only disapointment was water level to low to swim or take out kayak (town lowered level to fix dam)
Everything about the place was great, good location nice quiet spot beautiful view. Easy check in. Had all the amenities so we didnât have to bring pots or pans or utensils, Iâd definitely rent it again

RENTERS BEWARE!We rented this property from 7/31/25 to 8/3/25 specifically because of the waterfront location and accessibility of the pond. Upon arriving, we discovered that the pond had been drained about 8 feet for work on the dam. This left a swath between the property and the pond of about a 30' consisting of slime, rotting fish, oil sheen, and algae muck that looked and smelled disgusting! The pond was completely inaccessible and unusable. The house itself was very clean and well stocked. However, it sits directly on a very busy and noisy road. We were counting on the proximity and utility of the pond to make up for the less than ideal location of the house. When we got home I told the owner how dissatisfied we were about paying for, but not being able to access or use the pond, and also that he had not informed us of the situation which would have allowed us to rent somewhere else on a usable body of water. He said he had just found out and didn't know about it beforehand. However, all property owners were notified that the work on the pond would begin in July and continue until November. Patrick, the owner, made no effort to compensate us for the lack of a usable and accessible waterfront AS HE HAD ADVERTISED. And I don't see where he has edited his VRBO posting to reflect this change. We have rented many vacation homes and this was our 1st bad experience. Very dissatisfied!
This was the perfect place for our family to gather while enjoying our youngest childâs graduation from Bates. My adult kids appreciated the âgame roomâ upstairs and all had comfortable beds to sleep in.
House worked out well. Comfortable, loft area and upstairs bedroom/bathroom made it nice for adult children to have their own space. Great to have washer/dryer available. Minor complaint in cleanliness, counters sticky and wood floor could have been swept/vacuumed before we arrived.
The cabin is steps away from a beautiful lake. We loved the deck right at waterside. The family of ducks that visited us was a huge hit with the little people! Swimming was fun and we give the paddle boat a 10+. Great family time. We also enjoyed the grill and bonfire. The windows were a little grimy (bugs by the lake/to be expected) but overall a great place to stay! Would go back in a heartbeat!! Thanks!
Location was as described, there was a single air conditioner down stairs, none elsewhere. We arrived and it was very warm inside. Fortunately nights were cool and it worked out.
Lakeside home is so inviting. Could not have asked for anything. Patrick made sure all needs were met. Bug zappers, AC, ample supplies. Ceiling fans are great touch in keeping air circulating. Yes, it is close to the main road, however we didnât find it to be distracting.
The house was nice and the water was a good view. We got there and it was very hot, but it was 95 outside. Portable ac helped a little but the upstairs was too hot for anyone to sleep there. The home is also on a very busy and very loud road.

Great location but stay could have been better
The house is cute and it's right it front of the lake which was what we wanted. We knew from previous reviews that the house was next to a busy road so we came prepared with ear plugs. It's also really close to town so access to restaurants and shops were convenient. The host does have some things stocked in the house but it was missing a few things like extra toilet paper. The cleaning crew came to the house before we got there but left a note saying they couldn't finish as they had another house to clean. Towels were left in the dryer, the floors had some hair on it, and the garbage bin in the front of the house was totally overflowing. We did enjoy our stay but little things like having the cleaning crew really be on top of the cleaning process would be recommended for the next guest. Also instructions for the house and using things in it, like the noise machine, coffee machine, and where to find the patio chairs would make it easier for guests. For the price it's a decent house, just know it will have a few quirks.
The house was clean and perfect for our short stay! We will definitely book again for family weekend at Bates!
The internet didnât work but was not an issue.
It was rainy during our stay and there were no mats inside by the doors. We felt badly about getting the floors wet!
We loved it here! The house immaculate, had everything we need and more, and the lake was GORGEOUS! Some of the most beautiful sunsets Iâve ever seen and I live close to the ocean! My 9yo son LOVED toasting marshmallows by the fire, using the peddle boat provided by the home owners, and having our dog with us! The bedrooms donât have AC but it wasnât necessary. We stayed mid august and it was chilly (in a good way) at night. The property is on a main road, but the noise wasnât an issue and each bedroom has a noise machine just in case (lovely touch). There are really nice hiking and biking trails all within a 20/30 minute drive and an AMAZING lobster shack just down the road. We would definitely consider staying here again! It was like all the benefits of camping (lake, biking, hiking, beautiful sunset, camp fire, tons of stars) with REALLY cozy beds to sleep in and nice, clean bathrooms! 5 stars! Highly recommend!
We had a great time utilizing the lake and watching the loons dive for fish. Although the street is busy the private backyard is wonderful. The location as very covenient to Brunswick and Lewiston.
Overall we had a good stay one complaint would be you list as supplying toilet paper a half roll of toilet paper for three people for 4 days just doesnât work had to find a store to buy some. Also went to do a load of laundry and when I opened the door very strong musty smell so I put the washer thru a cleaning cycle and that cleared it up just a heads up you should not close the door when not in use you should leave it open to prevent odor. In the future it would be nice to have a picnic table and some sort of grill it was hot and we had to cook inside
It is a great location right on the lake, with a great view from the living room through the back slide door and windows. Very comfortable set up in the house loved the high ceiling and the loft with the air hockey table. It was the comfortable for the two of us but could easily felt 6 people. Very dog friendly. The backyard was mostly fenced in and went right up to the water which was very nice. Appreciate that kitchen was easy to cook. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again in the future.
