We had a great time at this property, there was plenty of room for our family and to invite guests to join us! The main house is 1.5 miles down a dirt road, very secluded, comfortable, with 3 bedrooms, nice views, and a good kitchen. We enjoyed the recreation room and the kids especially enjoyed archery and tomahawk throwing, which we only let them do because the owner showed them all the safety rules right away on the first visit. We also enjoyed pool and ping pong, there was always something to play if we weren't busy outside. Since we had great weather, we didn't use any of the games or the DVD player in the main house, but it was good to know they were there. The only thing we were a little surprised about was that the lake was 1.5 miles from the house. We imagined a short walk, but it was an expedition to get there, and the lake is close to the road. However, once you're there, it's a really nice small lake, with canoes and kayaks, frogs, docks, and comfortable picnic areas. And no one else goes there, so it's all your own! There is a brook/stream a short walk from the house too, and Ron brought us kayaks and canoes down there too, so we took expeditions downstream as far as you can go (about 15 min canoeing) to a nice spot. There's also a campfire pit, and they provided wood, too. Our dog was welcomed and had a great time swimming in the lake, walking with us, and even canoeing with us! It was quiet and the owners were wonderful, we saw them maybe once a day to see how we were doing. I'd recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away, it's lovely! Just leave us some time for next year!!!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

This was a phenomenal spot to relax for a couple days. The lodge had a good sized kitchen with ample accessories, great views from the main window, and plenty of sleeping areas. The rec room was fun for all of us, and there was plenty of land to walk around on logging roads. Ron was an exceptional host - stopping by to show us some of the rec room activities and to share more than a few laughs. This is a great location for a weekend out with your buddies, but it would also be a great place for a family or a few small families with everything you can do there. I look forward to getting back up there.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

We wanted a place where we could smell fresh air and see the stars in the sky. We were well served with this cabin. Coming from NYC area it was exactly what we wanted; peace and relax. The cabin is spacious and clean we were close to a pound where the kids could swim. The owners were very friendly and accomodating and made our stay a pleasure. The area is fantastic for running and cycling and not too far from Ogunquit (1h30).Recommended for: Families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

Went to this cabin for a weekend with a bunch of friends. We wanted to just get away from everything. And this cabin was perfect! The main house slept all ten of us comfortably! The amount of the land around the cabin is amazing! We made the most out of a rain soaked weekend by just ignoring the rain the first night but the second night we used the rec room which had a pool table, table tennis, air hockey, fooseball and archery range. Made for an unforgettable weekend! If there is ever a problem Ron is just down the road and is a realy great guy with plenty of knowledge about the area!Recommended for: Families with young children, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers.
