Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
When Jeff and I were in our early 20's, we started going up to coastal Maine every year in the summer. Raised in NY and southern CT, we fell in love with the quaint New England villages, the pine air, cool night summer breezes, the people, and the laid-back lifestyle. In 2001, we lived in a condo in downtown Boston and wanted to find a weekend retreat that offered lots of outdoor activities throughout the year. We had heard about the Lakes Region in Maine and decided to explore that area of Maine. The first time we saw this Log Home, set in the woods, on a beautiful lake, we knew it had everything we had hoped to find. With nearby skiing at Sunday River and Mt. Abram's, cross country and snowmobile trails it would provide us with plenty to do during the winter. In the summer, we could canoe, kayak, swim, hike... or just relax by the lake. And, the nearby quaint New England towns of Bridgton and Bethel reminded us of why we were drawn to Maine so many years ago.

We rented 9/18-9/25 2011. The house was quiet and peaceful. Everything was provided that we needed. Our group included my brother and his wife, my mom and my wife, 10 month old daughter and myself. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax. There were two solid wood child gates. One at the top of the basement steps and one at the base of the steps to the second floor. They came in handy with a 10 month old that thought she needed to explore every inch of the house. The front porch was wonderful. We saw a Bald Eagle the second day. The home was centrally located for what we wanted to see. The coast was only about an hour away and so were the White Mtns. I only wish the weather was cooler so we could have tried out the fireplace. I know no one in our group wanted to leave at the end of the week. I'm sure we will be back in the future.

Just back from an awesome time. This is by far the best house for the best money my family has stayed at. It is a beautiful log home that is totally private. Beds all seemed brand new. An awesome ski house because it is the best of both worlds. It is a beautiful drive to skiing- we skiied Sunday River and Mt. Abrhams The kids loved seeing horseback riders in the snow on the way. The scenery was so pretty we were glad we did not stay right at one of the mountains. Plus the house had a whole bunch of sleds and tubes and all of us could sled right down to the lake from the house. It was the kids favorite house and ours too. Huge fireplace, very clean. Not to mention a great price in comparison for all you get.

We had a great stay at the cabin. Very close to Sunday River which was nice after a full day of skiing and tubing. Got about 4 inches of snow the last night we were there and the drive was plowed before we even woke up! Would definitely rent again.

A perfect place to spend a ski vacation. Well equipped, outstanding fireplace, beautiful view, privacy and quiet. Good hot water, a must after a cold day at Sunday River. We felt right at home in this lovely log cabin, and bet it's just as wonderful for fall or summer.

We stayed at the cabin on the week starting 10/09/05. The place is wonderful. Very cozy and well appointed, we felt right at home. We love cooking and were happy to find the kitchen well stocked with everything we needed. The views of Papoose Pond are great, and we enjoyed a trip around it in the Canoe provided by the owners. Great location, secluded, but 10 minutes to major grocery store and Wal Mart. Lots to do in the area as well. We hiked at Grafton, and took lots of foliage drives around the area (the leaves were spectacular!) We would definitely stay there again!

Great house and great location. Quiet, peaceful and thoroughly enjoyable. House is nicely furnished and has everything you need including lobster crackers! We had a wonderful vacation. Owner is great to deal with, called us on our arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. This is definitely a thumbs up rental.
