Wonderful Cabin!

Cabin is great and in a great location. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. Easy to get to many attractions from the cabin, but best part was Kennebec river view. Cabin owners were wonderful as well.

Kennebec River Stay

Our stay was fantastic!!! Cabin was clean and very well stocked. We loved the trails and kayaking. Location was remote and private but still well within driving distance to a variety of excellent tourist attractions.

Perfect cozy winter getaway

This place was simply wonderful. It had everything we needed including soap and shampoo. We loved the way the Roku was set up; it was very easy to use. The beds were so comfortable! There were wonderful trails for walking our dog and the skies were super clear for star gazing

Family vacation

The cabin was even better then the pictures, and the setting was perfect. Some family members went out canoeing and kayaking on the river and saw several bald eagles. We enjoyed the evening by the fire, and morning walks down by the river.

River side cabin

This cabin was the perfect place to stay while we were in town for Maine Ironman. Close to Augusta. Cute town and restaurants within just minutes, but quiet and private. Located on the river with a nice path beside the water. Very clean and a well-stocked kitchen.

Exceeded Expectations

This was a delightful cabin, and even in the bad weather - we had constant rain during our 2 night stay, which finally ended early morning the day we left - we got out to explore the riverside trail, thanks to our dog! We were in the area for a meeting, and hope to return when we have more time to enjoy the cabin and all it has to offer. The space is set up well, and they had everything we needed. Very comfortable and cozy, thanks Kevin & Jacki!!

Beautiful Getaway

The owners were available for communication during our stay, the cabin was clean and well-stocked, the area beautiful. The only changes we suggest are a new mattress for the queen sized bed (current one is a little lumpy and uncomfortable), and doing some trail maintenance, since we started to hike the trail but were unable to complete it, due to lack of upkeep. Loved hearing the different sounds of the wildlife.

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 23, 2023
Thanks for the feedback. We investigated right away. We want our guest’s experiences to be great. The mattress is all memory foam and quite soft, and may take a few moments to re-level after turning at night. We can appreciate it may be too soft. It will get replaced by a firmer mattress. There is an informal trail that extends beyond the far end of ours that we are not allowed to maintain since it’s not ours. That has a difficult and deep dip that is hard for many people to get over. Based on your feedback, we think it would be best if we put up a sign to mark the end of our trail. We leave our trail in its natural state according to the lease agreement we have with the landowners. There are a couple muddy spots, but we are not permitted to add gravel or build bridges. All we can do is pick up fallen debris and obstacles. When we inspected it today, it seemed to be quite passable and in the state it should be, in other words, similar to any other wilderness trail. Thanks again for your helpful comments.

Perfect place for us

What a delightful stay we had at the cabin! We weren't sure what time we were going to arrive and Kevin and Jacki left the porch lights on for us. What a welcoming sight as we drove in! The cabin was exactly as described in the listing, clean, cozy, welcoming. We were 3 adults and 1 dog and it was just what we needed. The rooms were comfortable, spotless, and there was plenty of room for us. The nature trail along the river was ideal with our dog and a beautiful walk for us daily. We hope to come again with our other sons. Thank you so much for a much needed escape.

Awesome Cabin!

We rented this cabin for only 2 nights and we had so much fun! Even my 2 year old son had a blast with all the toys and play ground available for him. The place was so chill and quiet. The bonfire setup is on the spot! You can see the lake from where you’re sitting. The inside of the cabin is awesome. Everything we need is already in there. Just what we’re looking for. The host - kevin McKeen is really cool! He’s very accommodating. He even chopped more wood for the bonfire for us before we check in and he communicates very well to us. Thank you so much Kevin and McKeen Family!

Convenient Bunkhouse With All Amenities You Need

Booked a weekend here for a guys weekend and it had everything you would need in the kitchen to cook. Plenty of beds and hangout spots/chairs. The owners were super responsive and had a very detailed and thoughtful information pack that was super organized. Honestly it has all the amenities you really need, reasonably priced, and feels welcoming to both families with little kids to a group of friends coming to hang out. Most of my friends and I have little kids under 5 and we were surprised by the level of child proofing with gates and the well stocked first aid kit in the bathroom. Plenty of toys and yard stuff as well. Definitely will look to book again in the future. Thank you for the stay!

Family Fun

I cannot believe how awesome this place was! Every time I thought I might need to go buy something - I found it. My family is from the area but I live 3 hours away so just wanted to host something that they didn't have to drive to...the boys all came Friday night and then the girls came Sunday night. It was so much fun!

We loved it here!!!

We couldn’t have been happier with the hosts or the accommodations and the amenities. Being riverside was awesome, with trails and kayaks available for our use on the Kennebec, and a fire pit with lots of dry wood. Its location in the Midcoast is well placed for day trips to many locations. Will be back!!

Really enjoyed our stay

We had a very nice time at our stay here. The house and property were nice, just as described. Our kids enjoyed the selection of toys that they had at the house, and we enjoyed using the balls and other lawn games with them. This property seemed to have more thought put in and more extra stuff provided than any other vacation rental I've ever been to.
