Beautiful large home right on the Saco river. The house inside and out was loaded with things to do, i.e., tree fort, fishing, swimming, ping pong table, pool table, arcade, fire pit, huge deck , We brought our kayaks and large 12 person rubber raft and had a blast on the river. Also, for a day trip, 40 minutes to StoryLand. We will definitely return.
This rental was one our best so far! The house is fantastic with lots of room for multiple families. Check-in was easy, the kitchen is well equipped and the entire place was very clean! The grounds are also quite impressive. From the firepit to the large deck and down the path to the river, it's a perfect place to play or relax. We will definitely keep this place on our list to stay again...maybe next time in the winter!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The owner & property manager were terrific. The house was very clean and the yard was beautiful. We had plenty of space for the 10 of us.
Our family of 8 stayed here and loved everything about the cabin!!! Well supplied kitchen wonderful fireplace,if we had any complaints it would been beds were a little hard, but that is personal preference. Highly recommend and would definetly come back!
It felt like a cabin straight from a Hallmark movie. It was cozy, comfy and spacious. The fireplace, decor, game room, huge deck and wonderful sledding hill made us feel right at home. The firepit and the swing by the river and the river itself was very relaxing even in the very cold weather. Linda the Host and David the caretaker were both warm and friendly people. Linda reached out to us to make sure we got settled in and all was comfortable. We didn't want to leave!
We were a group of 7 lifetime friends celebrating our 65th birthdays. The house is fairly remote from towns, and it was a little difficult to find as there were no house numbers or other identifying markers on a rural road. However, the pictures do not do it justice. The location is absolutely beautiful and the owners have spent a great deal of thought and time into turning the property into a virtual waterside playground. The house itself is stunning and everything was clean and in good working order. Linens and towels were abundant and the kitchen was also very well stocked. We swam off the dock in the chilly Saco in mid Sept. We were blessed with sunny days and cool nights. North Conway, Bridgton, and the Kangamagus Highway are all within reasonable driving distance. The caretaker met us there and gave us a tour, and was available by text with any questions we had. Would highly recommend this property, heeding the owners descriptions of the childrens rooms and lofts, as the former are really meant for small humans and the lofts are not for the faint of heart!
Had a wonderful week using the property as a springboard for kayaking, hiking and shopping.
Enjoyed grilling on the deck, cooking indoors and roasting marshmallows and hotdogs at the oversized fire pit.
Several fantastic nights for stargazing.
Also enjoyed a couple quiet nights making use of the TV downstairs and game room.
We have stayed in many house rentals and this place is at or near the top of the list! As others have said in their reviews, the photos don't do it justice. The architecture and quality workmanship of the house is beautiful. The combination of that along with the size and beauty of the property is what makes it unmatched in our travels. The array of entertainment, inside and out, is fantastic. David, the property manager, stopped by to see if we had any questions and later, when questions came up, was very quick to respond. We highly recommend this property!
This was a lovely property with so many amenities. We could easily find a lot to do without going out to explore other places. Our hostess was very prompt in answering questions. Would highly recommend this great find! Linda Fleming
My family and I have stayed at this beautiful home several times over the years and it never disappoints. Can't wait to figure out another time to stay!
I stayed in this beautiful cabin over New Years and it was just lovely. Quiet, peaceful. Communication with the property manager was outstanding. The cabin is idyllic. Would recommend to anyone seeking to 'get away from it all.'
This property is a gem of a place to stay. Linda and her caretaker provided a seamless check-in process and tons of helpful suggestions for activities. The property is immaculate and has all the modern amenities one could need. All this in a rustic log cabin type setting with an incredible layout with many common areas for group activities and other areas offering solitude and privacy. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their visit. Looking forward to staying here again!
Lindaâs home is a spacious and beautiful place right on the lovely Saco River. The attention to detail and abundance of amenities is top notch. Due to the high water levels this year we opted to book our trips on the river with the owners of On the Saco Family campground to ensure we remained safe and they were phenomenal just like Linda recommended! During normal conditions we probably would never have have left and just accessed the river from the backyard. The outdoor games and fire pit and the indoor games and movie room filled our days and nights with lots of family fun. We hope to come back again soon!
The house and property are absolutely gorgeous. We loved the swings around fire pit. The river was high due to the recent rain however Linda was very helpful with suggesting a lake nearby that was beautiful and relaxing. There are also many hiking trails close as well. We had an amazing family vacation.
Less than an hour from Portland, Linda's house is a fantastic retreat from the hustle and bustle. Surounded by trees and direct access to the river provides privacy and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. The backyard had playground, ping pong table, tree fort, and the best fire pit we have ever seen. The house was clean, well maintained and provided plenty of space for our group of 7. While the water levels due to rain prevented us from kayaking on the river, we were only a few minutes drive the various lakes and ponds. I would highly recommend Linda's home if your looking to unplug and enjoy the outdoors.
House was Fantastic inside and out! Only downfall was the terrible weather and river flooding bringing massive amounts of flies and mosquitoes which kept us inside most the trip. If not for the fantastic house on the inside we would have abandoned the whole trip.
The photos donât do this rental justice! The whole place is thoughtfully laid out and appointed and is absolutely spotless (the many wood surfaces actually gleamed). My spouse and I stayed in the smaller upstairs room and the bed was SO comfortable. Our parents were pleased with their beds as well. The bunk rooms are adorable, however the beds are a bit short (I think theyâd work best for kids and tweens under 5 ft). Our teens stayed in the two lofts and loved them (the ladders might look a bit rickety, but theyâre actually very sturdy - even Grandma braved climbing them to peek at the lofts). All three showers are low-entry - perfect for those with balance issues. The whole house is air conditioned and each bedroom also has a fan. Thereâs a second refrigerator in the basement - great if your crew, like ours, eats a lot. There are nice additions for those with babies and small kids (baby gates, packânâplays, high chair, and play kitchen in the basement to name a few). Speaking of the basement, the pool table, air hockey table, arcade game, and star ceiling were all big hits. Plenty of board games and dvds too, in case you encounter a few rainy days like we did. The swing-surrounded fire pit is another highlight - each swing even has oversized cup holders that easily held my 32 oz water bottle that never fits in cup holders)! Our host was quick to answer questions and the caretaker was quick to address any issues that arose. Truly a fantastic rental!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Linda's riverfront property. So much care and thought went into designing the home and yard for the comfort of all ages. Our group was comprised of four adults, one toddler, and one infant. We stayed over a rainy June weekend, but there was still so much to keep us busy. When we discovered the air hockey table wasn't working, the caretaker promptly showed up to fix it to the delight of our almost 4yo. We loved the fire pit and swings when the rain paused. Even the drink holders on the swing were a nice touch. Beds were very comfy, too. Thanks for a great stay!
We built this home away from home to get away from our busy lives in CT and enjoy all of what 'Vacationland' has to offer. Relax and enjoy the beautiful outdoors of Maine. This house and property has truly been our labor of love. We are happy to share it with you!
We picked the sleepy town of Brownfield Maine to build our 3,000 square foot cottage because of the easy access to everything we might like to do including: the arts (music, local artists, craftsmen etc) including Stone Mountain arts Center. Hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, kayaking, and boating. Less then 1 hour to old Orchard Beach, or Freeport. Shopping and great restaurants of all types. Nearly (20) Ski resorts within an hour drive. Snowmobile and snowshoe trail access directly across the street.
Just about everything you would want to do from minutes to max 1 hour away.
We fell in love with the beautiful park like setting, to build our home. The ever changing Saco river is mesmerizing. We have the only peninsula on the river which we go to often and sit on our swing. It feels like a golden pond. Being so close to the river allows us to witness nature in all her beauty. To see turkeys, eagles, ducks, and deer. Are all part of the beauty of this place. A small piece of heaven.
