We were here as a family of 5 and 3 generations. We wanted a place in Maine where we could get away.Pros:Quiet, the downstairs porch is lovely. Plently of dishes. Washer and dryer set up worked well. Downstairs layout worked for our family.2 Big rooms upstairs. One shared bathroom was spacious, did not use the jetted tub.Challenges*The kitchen, while usable, had erratic supplies (no crackers/picks/real lobster set up as advertised), the knife situation was... challenging. We did not have enough garbage bags for the kitchen eitherAccessing the lake takes a car, a hike and portage over rocks.The pond in the back has a giant alligator snapper and small children cannot go near it.It might have a lot of land, but there are no walking trails in the woods.The outdoor set up is indifferent and not really indicative that anyone really uses it. The grill caught fire when we tried to use it.The house was fine, but for the price, it was really not comparable as other properties. In all, we were comfortable and but has minimal value for the price and location.*The property is clearly for sale
We loved staying in this beautiful house. The property is large and peaceful and while it feels very remote it is not that far from the larger roads that bring you into Orono and Bangor. The house is a great layout for a group with comfortable living room, deck and balcony, all beds used were very comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked. Highly recommend this rental.
We had a wonderful day. The house is well appointed and had everything we needed! The host was accommodating and gracious. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home.
Lovely home in a great spot! Convenient to UMaine.
We visited for the long weekend and couldnât have chosen a better spot. The house is perfect for a family. Two huge bedrooms upstairs with king beds and two rooms each with two twin beds in the basement. The living area is comfortable and the yard and pond are lovely. We didnât see a moose or porcupine, but we did see some deer. Everyone wants to go back for another visit!
Very nice property, the hot tub in its own shack was super cool as well! The pond has a bunch of fish and a snapping turtle that ate hotdogs, very fun! You can see the stars amazing from the backyard
We had a nice relaxing time here! Not far from Acadia NP. The lake nearby is beautiful. We saw tons of wildlife! Host is wonderful and very accommodating!
We had a nice time here; we were in town for a family reunion. Kids loved the activities (yard games, hot tub, pool table, and air hockey). It was a little tricky to find at first but we figured it out. Some of us didn't have great cell service, but that was true across much of the state.
This property is breathtakingly beautiful inside and out. The Host is 5 stars for his kindness and willingness to take care of our needs. The best place around, hands down.
This was my familyâs first time to Maine and the home was everything and more. A wonderful touch of modern and home. It was somewhere wonderful to do different activities on the property or to relax after a day of adventures. Highly recommended thank you again!!
It was absolutely beautiful! There was so much to do and we couldnât have picked a more beautiful location to stay. Our host was so nice and friendly. We loved our stay here!
Upon arrival, we received a tour of the rental from Andrea. He was just a text message away and friendly/responsive to any questions we had. The rental is nicer than the vrbo photos portray. Cozy home in the woods, no sounds of the highway - just nature. Also, just a short 5-10 min walk to the lake and a 20 min drive into town for groceries. We can't wait to go back!
WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME AT THIS PROPERTY AND THE OWNER AND CARETAKER WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND ATTENTIVE.
THE PROPERTY IS BEAUTIFUL AND HAS MANY EXTRAS TO MAKE OUR STAY VERY ENJOYABLE.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY AND HOPE TO VISIT IT AGAIN, NEXT YEAR.
Had an amazing stay at this property. Far enough away from everything to stay quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to enjoy the area of Derry, ME (if you know, you know).
It is very big . Bedrooms are great!!!
Very quiet area. Saids slept 8 but we had to pay more over 4 adult and a baby.
Not sure what the cut off is for charging more. Not to bad $20 a person per night.
Very easy to deal with and quick taking care of anything. Would stay there again. !!!!
While staying at property the property manager was nothing but helpful and kind. He was very knowledgeable and the house was immaculate also much larger in person the pictures do not do justice ! My children absolutely loved the playroom area in basement! We had so much fun! The area is very secluded, was a wonderful stay, and a beautiful home. Thank you so much! We had a great time at this home getaway !
I lived many years in Europe and this is my place in the maine woods. It reminds me so much of Germany/France with the many lakes and forests only that there is much more nature and animals here in Maine. Paradise for me.
Because I fell in love with it. It is in the woods but only 20 minutes from the big shopping centers or the airport. The people who live year round there are very nice and helpful. And the House is very beautifull.
The air is so pure and the water is so clean and the people are so friendly. I have traveled the whole world, but this is home away from home, just perfect and beautiful. Take a cup of coffee in the morning overlooking the pond, watching the deer passing by, what more can you ask for.
