My wife and I really enjoyed our time here. The lake is beautiful and peaceful and we spent a lot of time on the deck- it is so close to the water and in the shade. It is so easy to just step out and enjoy the lake. The family of loons was almost always there. We enjoyed using the kayaks on the lake. White perch were very easy to catch. Laurie gave us some good recommendations for things to do in the area and was super responsive. The kitchen has everything you need to make a meal and was recently renovated. The gas grill on the deck was easy to use. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

Lovely, cozy cabin with great views and an incredible host. The cabin is well equipped and modern, clean, and very comfortable. Definitely visit in the winter and curl into the armchair with a good book and a cup of hot tea after a day of playing in the snow!! We will definitely return the next chance we get!

Cross Lake Retreat

This was our first time in Aroostook County and we weren’t sure what to expect and now we can’t wait to come back! This house was truly amazing! It had everything that we needed to make our week magical. It was perfect for our dogs and the lake was perfect. The water was great and we loved exploring the different parts of the lake on our paddle board. Cross ride to the Canada boarder, easy to cross into NB and get back. Overall, perfect place for a family vacation.

The cottage is very cozy, clean, and well-equipped with things like large screen TV, wi-fi, dishwasher, washer & dryer, and air conditioning upstairs. Laurie is so nice and she texts you back immediately if you have a question about something. Cross Lake is gorgeous with great kayaking (there is a kayak and paddle board for guests to use), plenty of perch to catch, and a family of loons. Aroostook County is beautiful and all the people are so nice. I am looking forward to coming back next year for another vacation.

Cozy lakeside cabin

Good communication before arrival with owner Laurie. Before arrival the parking area was plowed and ready to drive in. Cabin was clean and had everything advertised. Bedrooms upstairs, couch and futon in living room downstairs. We went for a long weekend to ice fish and there was direct access to the lake from the driveway for machines. We all had a great trip and hope we can return next year! Thank you!

Beautiful cabin, property, and lake. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time staying at this location. This was our first experience with VRBO, and we would book this cabin again in a heartbeat. The cabin was clean and smelled fresh, like a pine cabin in the woods. Everything was as pictured and as described. The host was extremely helpful and friendly. The neighbors were also very friendly. We rented a boat from Old Mill Marina, they dropped it off and picked it up at the boat launch (very very easy!). We enjoyed fishing, swimming, and s'mores around the campfire. The lake directly in front of the cabin is a bit rocky, so I would suggest water shoes. We floated on tubes to avoid walking on the rocks. The stars at night are breathtaking. The Milky Way is visible as well as the Andromeda galaxy. We could also see Saturn every night. We enjoyed the "secret room" that looks out over the lake and we woke up to the most beautiful sunrises. We highly recommend this property.

Thank you so much for this beautifully descriptive review! Good recommendation on bringing water shoes - that side of the lake is shallow, and free of seaweed, but rocks are the trade-off. Also thank you for listing who rented you the boat - I hope to be able to furnish the cabin with kayaks soon. You're always welcome back! The stars and loons will still be there =-)

This was a last minute booking for us-My kids had an excellent time fishing off the dock!The host was super responsive to messages. She did let us know the day of check in that the washing machine was not working and asked us to check a bit later to manage the washing machine problems. I saw the photo of kayaks and assumed they were there for use, but there was only one on the property. I did message the host and she said one ended up at another property, but didn’t have a way to get it to us. She offered us to pick it up- We ended up driving 10 mins to get it. When we arrived, host was super friendly.The camp was rustic. The bathroom spelled like the septic was a bit backed up, but likely could be related to the sitting water that was in washing machine.The floors, shelving and furniture had dog hair on them.In summary- we really did have a great time. The lake is beautiful, my kids really enjoyed fishing and kayaking. The host was wonderful.We were slightly disappointed in the smell and overall cleanliness.

Thank you so much for this feedback and I truly appreciated your understanding that there were items that were subpar and out of the ordinary. I am very glad you enjoyed your stay! I appreciated your willingness to pick up that kayak. I had attempted extra cleaning to address the washing machine catastrophe, it was the standing water I believe but as you know, I am injured and getting surgery Weds. I have professional cleaning service going in today for the deeper clean as you mentioned it sounds like there was pet hair, this property does allow pets and sometimes items like this impact the overall experience when an emergency takes place. All issues will be addressed: new washing machine going in this week. You were also wonderful communicators and very understanding and kind. Have a wonderful rest of summer!

Great stay in a warm and cozy place!

The chalet is in a very private setting. Inside it is very inviting. All of the linens and blankets were clean and fresh smelling. It was immaculate as far as cleanliness goes. There are local brochures and guides and a large selection of board and card type games for the kids. The kitchen is very large and has everything you need to make just about any meal. If you are looking to get away in a peaceful setting, I would recommend this location. I would stay again if I was ever in the area. Thank you!
