Classic Maine cabin with some modern conveniences (dishwasher & AC). House was very clean and had everything we needed. Used the canoe to fish. Our dogs loved the walks in the woods. The dog run was helpful too. It was the vacation we needed-isolation and relaxation. Thanks!

We enjoyed our stay on Bretons Pond. The property was as advertised, a little rustic as a cabin should be! The lake is pristine and has fish. The dock had already been taken out of the water before Labor Day! Chris was quick to get back to us with answers to my questions. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed.The WiFi was spotty but not much of a problem and the kitchen table needed a few more chairs for four of us to sit together. Thanks for a very nice stay.

The ad states 5G high speed WiFi! It’s not. It’s garbage. I rented this cabin for 7 days to celebrate my Mothers 74th Birthday, I needed to work during the day. I lost 4 days of work and may lose my job due to this out right lie. The property was gorgeous but my vacation was ruined.

Wonderfully nostalgic little camp! Felt like taking a step back in time to my childhood! Absolutely beautiful private wooded area with beach frontage and stunning view of the Pond. We were able to kayak and canoe to our hearts content and my boys were up daily before dawn, fishing. What an amazing experience to hear the call of loons and watch the eagles soaring overhead with one even landing in a tree right above where we were sitting on the beach! The owner is a wonderful host who checked in to make sure we had everything we needed! If I could give more than 5 stars I would gladly do so! Hoping to make a stay at this camp a new family tradition in the future!

We love this place! It's private, yet close to amenities. I grew up on this pond spending summers from the age of four 245. I was so excited to find another place on the pond that reminded me of my family cottage. Can't wait to get back!
