Amazing Cabin & Location

The house was even nicer than expected and the location was perfect for ice fishing (right in front of multiple deep holes). Very easy to get ahold of the property manager which is always nice!

Coming from Chicago we were looking for a place in the middle of nowhere to just get away from everything for a family vacation with the dogs. Words cannot explain how amazing, CLEAN and thoughtful this place is. The house is so welcoming and not a detail went unnoticed. All the things are labeled and a binder explains everything in great detail. The house radiates a true vacation home and we were so blessed to be here!

Absolutely fell in love with this property. Best views of the lake and access to the kayaks are so generous! The big backyard was a huge hit with our dog. Breakfast in the sun room every morning was a great start to the day. Recommending to everyone visiting the area!

Took us 3 years to finally find the perfect vacation spot. It was beautiful and quiet. We had a deer swim right past the dock. All of our needs were met. We lost power the last day but the owners were so amazing and gave us constant updates. Will absolutely book again ❤️

Peaceful and beautiful.

We had a wonderful mini vacation at East Grand Escape. The location is peaceful with breathtaking views. Our host’s thoughts of everything we could need and there were many extras ( coffee, tea, sugar, spices, bowls for dogs, extra blankets and towels). We even had a relaxing rain day doing a puzzle, playing games, dancing with the Wii, and watching a movie. The community and area is friendly and welcoming. Hope to visit again. Thank you.

Gorgeous, peaceful immersion in nature

This cabin comes well equipped with everything you could possibly need to spend a wonderful, secluded week by the lake. Even with neighbors present on either side, it felt incredibly private and was a place we could really unwind and forget about the hectic pace of life by stargazing, bird watching and warming up by the fire after dipping in the crystal clear lake! It's a really quiet lake, with lots of fisherman and few recreational boaters (there were some folks who were out tubing, etc through the week, so it's clear that you could if you want to, but if you aren't a recreational boaters and prefer trolling or cruising, or just being able to read by the water and birdwatch in peace, it's totally a place you'd be able to enjoy that). The cabin itself is incredibly well appointed and was spotlessly clean - we were grateful and impressed that they even had dog bowls ready on their own little mat! Thank you so much and we'll definitely be back!!

Perfect getaway

The house was perfect. Just as described in the listing. It was spotless when checking in and literally had everything we might need. Communication was great, also loved that things in the house were labeled! My kids loved the kayaks and being able to fish right from shore. Quiet neighbors. I worked remotely from the house and the connectivity was spot on. We were looking for future dates to stay again before we even left. Will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Burnell and Ryan Cyr

Host profile image
Born and raised in southern NH. I grew up spending my summers in Maine on Sebago Lake with my family.

My husband and I fell in love with East Grand Lake in the fall of 2020. The peacefulness you feel when you arrive to the quite oasis of northern Maine is like nothing else. We escape to East Grand every free weekend we get. We spend our time boating, 4 wheeling, snowmobiling and pretty much anything to do with being outside with our 2 dogs, preferably by water.

Why they chose this property

We hope you enjoy and fall in love with East Grand Lake as much as we did. Being avid outdoor enthusiasts, this area offers something for everyone. We fell in love with East Grand Lake in the fall of 2020. We take every opportunity to get away up there in the winter to snowmobile and in the summer to relax by the camp fire. Our home has some of the best views on the lake with rare walk-in lake access that you don't find with many properties on the lake.
