We absolutely loved spending the week here! The lake is incredibly peaceful, and the house is comfortable, welcoming, and stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing stay.Listening to the loons in the evening made our time here feel truly special. Waking up each morning to the beautiful lake just steps from the door and enjoying coffee on the deck was pure magic.We also loved swimming, kayaking, and canoeing using the boats provided. The location was perfect—quiet and secluded, yet close to all of the Midcoast Maine attractions we wanted to explore.We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful lakeside getaway.

Peaceful retreat with outstanding customer service and exquisitely clean property

The serenity and beauty of this place on the lake soothes one's soul with tranquility. Cleanest property we have ever stayed at. Hosts are outstanding in their customer service. Excellent mid coast location to explore Boothbay region. Cottage itself is awesome with great amenities. Difficult to leave and can't wait to stay again!

Definitely off the beaten path (which we like). Clean and well equipped

Darling 2 bedroom cottage on a very pretty lake. Close enough to town for groceries and dining. Enjoyed the peaceful call of the loons in the morning. Upstairs access is by a spiral staircase - your group should be aware.

Lots of thoughtful touches

We found Wildwood to be clean, comfortable and quiet. The view of the lake was lovely, and we enjoyed the ducks swimming near the dock, and the loons who kept the girls company when they kayaked. We were impressed by thoughtful touches such as light afghans on the couches and first aid kits in the bathrooms.

Peaceful charmer on the lake

Our visit was a Maine dream come true. The house was lovely! Sparkling clean, stunning view, and completely equipped, it was everything we hoped for. The hosts were gracious, attentive and available. Given the bonus of its quiet location and the serenity of the surroundings, we give this home the highest recommendation.

Maine Stay

The location and view was excellent! We’ve stayed in a different area every year for the past 8 years. This place definitely needs to be updated. The living room furniture was faded and stained. The carpet was stained. Overall overpriced for how dated it was.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Oct, 2022
Thank you for your feedback. In the past two years, we have updated the following: brand new stove/oven, new washer/dryer, new refrigerator, floors refinished, deck painted, new counter tops, new linens, new dock, new fire pit, and new kayaks. Having a rental property with many guests and a full wall of windows that accept light definitely takes a toll on the fabric of our furniture very quickly. And our attention to disinfecting all fabric surfaces between guests due to COVID doesn't help. I'm sorry that a stain on the carpet (we're child and pet friendly, while many are not), disrupted your stay. We assure you that despite a possible stain, everything was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. We hope you continue to rent through vrbo and find a location that better suits your needs. Thanks for choosing us last summer. All the best.
