Charming cottage with plenty of features. Excellent location, 5 minutes to scenic Wayne. Also 10-15 minutes to Winthrop for necessary items. Right on the water, excellent views, excellent fishing. Quiet area, friendly people.
We were able to spend 3 days at peaceful Wilson Pond cottage, while attending a family reunion in Livermore. Tina kindly ensured that our needs were met. It was a welcoming space with a lovely beachfront. The canoe and Adirondack chairs were thoughtful additions. The view from the huge windows was an added bonus! Thank you!
Loved staying here. Peaceful and beautiful right on the lake. House was well appointed. The tap water isnât drinkable but there was plenty of bottled water provided. Enjoyed several outings in the kayaks to watch the Osprey and the Loons. We also ran on the Mt Pisgah trail several times.
Tranquil Peaceful Vacation With Lots of Fun to Be Had
Tina was "at the ready" to answer any questions that came up. Check-In couldn't have been easier, we promptly received a code for the door, no problem! Kitchen facilities were fully stocked and it was a pleasure to prepare a meal or a snack and to then head out back to enjoy eating at the picnic table while listening to the loons and watching the hummingbirds. I can't think of anything that was missing in the kitchen or in the bathrooms, the owner had thought of everything. The large windows in every room kept the house beautifully cool. We enjoyed a cozy, relaxing and fun visit.
We typically go to Maine in August and spend time with our family. This property really met all our needs. It was so nice to have absolutely everything we need available to us. I really enjoyed having the lake and kayaks just yards away. There was plenty of space. We thought it was perfect. Tina was responsive and very kind with all our communication. I would definitely go back! Highly recommended!
We stayed for two weeks and enjoyed being on the lake with itâs incredible views. We actually watched an eagle diving into the water to catch dinner. Our grandson was quite excited to have caught six large mouth bass while he was here. Two of them he kept and cooked them up for his dinner. We liked being close to the village and Winthrop for picking up provisions.
I loved this stay and would stay here again in a second! The property is a little gem!! I visited in the "early spring" so not really lake weather but it was still an awesome visit, i can only imagine how awesome the lake is! It would be hard to get any closer to waters edge!The home is clean, charming and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!
My fiance and I visited this property with a few friends to celebrate his birthday with a fun-filled ice fishing weekend. Tina was a fantastic host who communicated with us promply and clearly and gave us all the information we needed to settle in and feel at home in her charming lakeside cottage. She was quick to reply to any of our questions and seemed genuinely pleased to have us there. The rental itself was homey and clean, with plenty of room for everyone. Although the lake accessible from the property turned out to be a bit shallow for ice fishing, we were within such close access to countless other options of nearby bodies of water and it definitely didn't stop us from having a great weekend that we will remember for years to come. We've already talked about the possibility of renting this site again in the summer for another fishing trip! We cannot reccomend this property enough for anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing weekend away with their loved ones! 10 stars for sure!
We chose this property based on it's proximity to relatives we were visiting, the low fees (like you, I refuse to pay a $300 'host fee'), the reports of a easy-to-communicate with property manager and views from every window. We were NOT disappointed. I especially want to thank Tina for her fast responses to any questions, and her flexibility and generosity. Due to the time of year, we were unable to enjoy the swimming and boating so many others rave about. But we did enjoy sitting in the sunroom and living area looking out the large (and pretty clean too) windows. The living area/kitchen is heated with a cozy gas 'woodstove.' The main bedroom is on the bottom level, the living area is on the main level, and there are several beds on the top level, as you can see in the photos. There were small camps on either side, but both were unoccupied and the neighborhood is pretty quiet. Oh and I have a thing for lighting. There were many lamps and overhead lights and in some cases dimmers. And they ALL worked! It made for a pleasant atmosphere as it gets dark at like 4:30 this time of year. There's a lot of rural roads to explore and 100 little country stores all along the way. I guess that's it. Thanks again Tina!
location was great, the lake and the wildlife were amazing. enjoyed sitting in the glassed in room each night listening to all of the sounds. the kids were a bit shocked by the 'don't drink the water' warnings, which caused a bit of drama, but otherwise, it was a much needed week away.
We stay in Maine almost every year as we have family there that we visit, and we like to try different nearby ponds/lakes each time. We stayed at Tina's house on Wilson Pond, and truly, Wilson Pond might be our favorite pond so far (out of about 12), it's definitely in our top 2. The house is sweet, and nicely decorated and stocked. The waterfront view and yard are wonderful, and the pond is amazing. We paddled on various watercraft all week that Tina provided. We floated in front of the house on floating inflatable chairs Tina had in the shed area, since the water is more shallow near Tina's place (about 8 feet deep) this made enjoying the water just perfect. The pond is clean and very clear. We caught up to 6 different varieties of fish, with one being a 5+ pound large-mouth bass. We also saw eagles all week fishing and flying, osprey, loons, and ducks. Very quiet and relaxing retreat if nature is what you are looking for!
We truly enjoyed the overwhelming peace and quiet on Wilson Pond. And the gorgeous view!!!
Access to the 2 kayaks and x-large canoe was huge benefit and that you can access another nearby lake/Dexter Pond that has awesome beauty was special.
The layout of the home is very comfortable and easy. Great kitchen! We loved the garden like/in-the-woods feel to the surrounding landscape.Very special.
