Perfect for quiet get-away

Cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed. Jay provided several pages of commentary about the area, what to do and where to eat, which was great as we hadn't been before. Short walk to the private beach was a bonus. Our dog loved it too!

A Relaxing Stay

We found the cabin quite comfortable and Jay, the owner, was very accommodating and helpful. The cabin was clean and we had everything we needed, except our food of course. We would definitely return for another week of R&R in the future.

In the woods but close to things

My 2 sons and I had a great time. There were hikes close by and restaurants not too far away. The owner was responsive with questions and concerns before and during our stay. One thing I'd note is the listing includes Horseback riding but there wasn't this amenity close by as I expected. Other than that, good place to get away and I'd go back with my kids again.

Rustic is the word!

When the property owner said rustic he was correct! The pictures are deceiving! The cottage is not directly on the pond and there is no gas stove inside. Lots of road noise and gun fire from a neighbor. We appreciated the property manager and all of his help!

Great weekend

At first we were a little confused as to whether we were supposed to be at 33 or 35 because both numbers were on the profile in different places, but then we saw the picture of the property had 33 and got to the right place. We loved the cabin. Jay thought of everything and had so many different amenities for the kitchen and bathroom. Really appreciated the detailed list of all the things to do in the area, like Arethusa Falls. We had a great time hiking, making a fire and roasting marshmallows, grilling up some steak, and then relaxing in the couch and watching some videos (haven't used videos in years!). Overall, I could definitely see us coming back.

Bad odor cabin.

My spouse and I was supposed to stay at this property for 3 nights. We had to cut it short because of the cabin being extremely dirty and terrible odor. we left the very next morning because of the cabin being dirty and ordor was unbearable. I asked for a refund for the days we didn't stay and owner refused to give a refund. He claims cabin was clean. But clean to him is just wiping things down. It was a terrible experience. And I'm pretty sure he will be responding to this review with a come back because that's the way he is!

Camp cabin

Jay was very nice, he came over and introduced himself and explained about the neighborhood and a bit about the area. We let him know about an outside light that was out. He had it changed by the time we returned. We were expecting more of a quiet getaway. The neighborhood had a camp feel to it. There were lots of kids of all ages running back and forth. Our leashed dog wanted to run and play with them. There were plenty of books videos and things taking up space in the cabin. Sometimes less is more. There was a welcome drink, chips and salsa there when we arrived and some snacks left around the kitchen. The cleaning person needs to take more care in their duties. The cabin felt like it could have used a spring cleaning. There were cobwebs, sticky pan handles and an old sponge left on the sink.

Listing is Misleading

Things in the listing that were untrue: double futon. Not there. Owner has since removed it from the listing, but it still says the property sleeps six. It does not. Things that were misleading: Stove: no stove, just a 4-burner electric cooktop that trips the circuit breaker if you try to use 2 burners at the same time. There's also a grill, a toaster oven, and a microwave. Secluded: It's in a little development of summer cottages. Nearest neighbor is about 50 feet away. Not secluded. Lakeside: Well, kinda. It's only a few hundred feet from the water, but your view is blocked by other houses. You can walk 2 or 3 minutes to a very nice private lake beach. But you're not gonna enjoy any lake views from the cabin itself. Laundry: If you click on "more amenities," you'll see that the "laundry" listed as an amenity is actually "you can drive to a laundromat." Not mentioned in the listing, but you should know: Fridge was empty but not clean. Fridge also persistently drips water onto the top shelf. We put a bowl there to collect the drops and had to change it daily. Hideous comforter and pillows in the big bedroom seemed to have been soaked in febreze. We had to put it all outside to air out. Once the reek of febreze subsided, the subtle odor of cigarette smoke emerged. Nice! Owner was rude and dismissive when we contacted him, so don't expect any customer service if you have an issue. Nice location, cozy space that would be great if properly cleaned and maintained.

The cottage is perfect size and comfortable. Its in a perfect area close to things to see and do but far enough away. Area is quiet and the lake can be seen thru the trees. Easy access off a highway not far from Freyburg..

Cozy little cabin

Stayed for a week with my daughter (aged 7) and it was perfect for us. The beach on the lake is very clean and we enjoyed spending a lot of time swimming. Close enough to fryeburg and north Conway for some fun day trips.

Great location for families

I am a single father with 2 young kids (2 and 5) and this property was great for just about everything. The beach was a close 1 minute drive, there was an abundance of fishing spots nearby, there is an amazing wooden playground 6 minutes down the road, North Conway is 30 minutes away and the Children's Museum & Theatre in Portland is only 1 hour away. Due to the location, you are always going against traffic which makes it for a pleasant stay. The cabin was fully stocked with everything that you would need (no oven), and so if you are staying for a week, you only have to bring food.

About the host

Hosted by Jay Bazzinotti

Host profile image
I've been renting this place since about 1998 - it's quiet, fun, relaxing with much to do nearby. I am a retired former high tech product manager who writes murder mysteries set in Boston. There is even a set in the cabin! I was a Boston tour guide and still take friends around the town and used much of this inside information in my books. I welcome any feedback!

Why they chose this property

This cabin was built in 1970 but never really occupied until I purchased it and refurbished it. I bought it because it was near my own house. It is quiet with woods behind and quiet residents. It's called The Schwende Hut after a hot dog stand on the top of Mt Tecumseh where I used to ski with my sister.

What makes this property unique

Includes everything you need except food, such as linens, towels, plates, screen tent, grille, canoe, paddles, life jackets, outdoor shower as well as indoor shower, radio, dvd/vcr, electric heat, indoor/outdoor showers, fire pit, picnic table and more. The house has wireless and a small library of movies.

It's near the Stony Mountain Arts Center, which is a club on a mountain with various popular musical groups and events. Also close to Cornish, an antiques center. Many interesting things are in the area such at Douglas Mountain, which is an easy climb and you can see all the way to the ocean. There is a canoe rental place nearby for trips down the Saco River (not white water). These trips can take from 4 to 8 hours so plan accordingly - it really is one the most beautiful things you can do.
