Great little house

Perfect home base for spring break visit with family, convenient location, and fully stocked with all the things you'd expect in a home. The care takers were very attentive to our needs. Too darn cold, but I'm not sure Leonard or Norma could fix that. Thanks!

Owner response:We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay and thought that everything was in order. Believe me, if Lenny and Norma could have fixed the weather for you, they would have. Thank you for your business, your review and we hope to hear from you again in the future. Sincerely, Dream Corner Properties

What a perfect vacation spot! If you want to experience a little bit of heaven, just spend one week at this cozy cottage. The location allows one to travel up and down the Maine coast easily. If you prefer to stay at the cottage to sit and relax, the deck surrounding the cottage allows for both sun and shade. The lake beckons everyone!! Fishing from the dock provides for many hours of fun, as does being lazy in one of the inner tubes!!! Sunsets are beautiful!! There are many quaint antique shops close by, and it's only a short trip to LLBean and the city of Freeport! This little cottage is like a home away from home. Thanks for allowing us to experience it!!

ANOTHER PERFECT WEEK!

The perfect way to start summer is a week on Dream Lane. It's a very nice cottage (actually a year round house), with a HUGE YARD, tremendous amount of lake frontage, and the best property owners anywhere. This place is perfect for an intimate get away or a family reunion (we had both in the same week). We will be back year after year. Thanks Norma and Lennie!

Vacation in August, 2010

We had a wonderful time at your cottage. The property was beautiful and well maintained. Sand beach was an added bonus that you normally do not find at a lake front property in Maine. The cottage itself was immaculate and all the amenities were provided !! (Even an air conditioner in the bedroom - we did not need to use it, but it was great to have it available - just in case). Would be great to have a gas grill, but we understood the additional liability and upkeep to do so. Our grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed themselves,and Lenny and Norma were very welcoming and gracious - almost as if we were gusets rather than tenants ! Thank you

EXCELLENT FOR ALL AGES

Date of Stay: 07/03/10 Review Submitted: 07/11/10

As locals, we have rented many cottages over the years and this is in top 2. Meticulous indoors and out with lots to do if you invite friends and family for a day. Quiet, if all you want is peace and solitude. Hosts Lennie and Norma think of everything and are true Mainers - we felt like we'd known them forever after 10 minutes. We hope that we have found our annual vacation spot for years and years to come.

Dave and I thought that the camp and property was very nice. It was comfortable, and well supplied. Nice dock for boating and swimming and nice beach area for the kids to play and a shadey spot near the water for the adults. After thinking about it, the only thing that we might suggest is an awning for the back deck to block the direct sun in the late afternoon if your tenents have company and eat up on the deck. We loved Norma and Lenny, Their friendliness and kindness was enjyed and appreciated.

We loved the cottage. It was clean and comfortable. Lenny and Norma were wonderful hosts. The girls had a great time and had plenty to keep them occupied. We were in Maine to see family and friends and it was so nice to be able to have them come to see us instead of us having to spend our whole "vacation" driving around to see everyone. We actually got a chance to rest and relax. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We'll be contacting you for reservations for next year. We can't wait!

Wonderful place to stay! We had a great time and Lennie and Norma were very friendly and helpful. The fruit basket was a great touch and so good. Everything was provided. All we needed was food and clothes. It was better than I expected!! Thanks so much!

We had a wonderful time on Pleasant Pond, and as usual, Maine showed us gorgeous fall weather and entertained us with endless hours of fun! Lenny and Norma were very hospitable and helpful!! - and, of course, Keith, too.

We had a great week laying out enjoying the big deck and swimming. The pond was wonderfully quiet and our dog had a blast swimming as well! The cottage is wonderful and well-equipped. We took a day trip up to Booth Bay Harbor, which was very close.

We had an excellent time! Our son, Brennan caught the biggest bass I've ever seen, and I've fished bass all my life. It was estimated to be 20 inches and between 4-5 lbs. Additonally, we caught all the perch and sunfish off the dock that we could handle. The accomodations were just wonderful. The camp offers charm and all the modern comforts of a home. Everthing we needed was there (just had to bring our clothes and food). Lenny and Norma were sweet, hospitable people. Norma adored our children. They thank you, Norma for the berry bubble bath soap! The kids loved the swimming and the beach, although my wife and I were a little disappointed with the weeds and water quality. One last thing, the wrap-around deck is fantastic...great for watching those sunsets!!! Thank you for everything.

My wife (Janet), dog (Nugget) and I just returned from a great time at Dream Properties. This was our second visit and enjoyed every minute of it. The fishing is great (I have been fishing Pleasant Pond for 29 years and have yet had a bad day). This past week I caught 50 bass (one was 5lbs). Lenny and Norma are very nice people and perfect host, they are always willing and able to make your stay a pleasant experience.

The cabin was a wonderful place to stay. We really enjoyed it and it was very peaceful. There was a lot of stuff for the kids to do, a wonderful place to take the family. Lenny and Norma were warm and welcoming. From having a campfire to playing in the water, everyone had a great time. We will definitely be back in 2006.

Hello! We wanted to do something different than a standard hotel for our anniversary trip, but we were hesitant to choose a place based on internet information alone. We liked the Dream Corner website because there were a lot of pictures. In addition, the owners were very friendly and answered all of our questions on the phone. Once we got there, any fears we may have had were replaced by pleasant surprises. The cottage was as described or better in every regard. Everything was very clean, and Lenny and Norma wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. There was a basket of toiletries in case we forgot something and a beautiful selection of fresh fruit. There were plenty of clean linens and extra blankets. There is cable tv in the bedroom and living room and a fully-equipped kitchen. There is no AC, but there are plenty of fans. There were only a couple of hours one day that it got a little hot and muggy, and it always cooled down at night. We spent a lot of time watching the gorgeous sunsets from the nice deck which also has a charcoal grill. Lenny and Norma offered use of the canoe, paddleboat, and rowboat, and all were in working condition. My husband caught fish from the boat and right off the dock. There are also horseshoes and bad mitten to help pass the time. While Lenny and Norma’s home is right next to the cottage, it still feels quite private. We saw them when we checked in and maybe once or twice during the week. We found the location to be just right for us – much calmer and less crowded than places closer to the ocean or near more touristy-attractions. We did several day trips, and the drives were very manageable – Moosehead Lake (approx. 2 hours), Camden/Rockland/Ocean (approx. 45 min.), Freeport/Outlet Mall (approx 45 min). We flew from Nebraska to Boston and made the drive to the cottage in 2 ½ hours. Overall, we chose this place because everything you need is provided. The water source is a deep well, safe for drinking, which is convenient, too. Lenny and Norma are genuine and kind and friendly, and the place was clean and comfortable. What more can you ask for? We had a great experience with Dream Corner and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks!
