We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage. The peace and quiet were exactly what we needed, and the serene pond view off the back deck made every morning and evening feel like a peace of heaven. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need, making cooking a pleasure. Every detail of this cottage contributed to a truly relaxing getaway. We couldn't have asked for more.

Delightful getaway

This adorable cabin was perfect for my husband and I. The environment was everything we hoped for and the location was perfect for day trips and exploring the area. They even resurfaced the dirt road the week we arrived!

This property is in a very quiet and secluded area. The dirt road in is maintained well and the scenery is beautiful. The home is beautiful, loved the decor, and had wifi and Roku tv. We found the walk down to the lake was too steep for us to walk safely (late 70’s) so we sat on the deck. We know the area well as we have family living in Freedom. The access to groceries is close as well as gas. Other stores are in Augusta. Went to Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mountain which was beautiful. Highly recommend this home and owner. Will stay again.

Great vacation spot.

We had a great time. The cabin was exactly as advertised. Secluded and quiet. Enjoyed our evening campfires, but watch out for the moose, hahah. Fishing was excellent, but watch out for the giant turtle. Excellent weather. Enjoyed every bit of our time there.

Secluded is the best part!

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon. We enjoyed the seclusion of the property and the immediate access to the pond. My husband enjoyed using the property's canoe to fish and I loved the wake-free water for paddleboarding. We were close enough to the coast to make day trips. Great location!

Nice small house on a quiet pond

House was exactly as described. Very clean and nicely decorated. Kitchen well stocked. Great for a relaxing getaway and home base to explore other towns. Only recommendation would be some maintenance on path to pond.

House was great! Really enjoyed out stay, Wonderful layout of place- small, but doesn't feel small. Only downside was the drive in on the dirt road - not grated yet, so it had many large potholes. Luckily not a problem for out vehicle.

Getaway from it all

The place had everything we needed, was comfortable bright and clean. Surrounded by trees and plenty of sun or shade as preferred. The canoe was easy to get to and launch. The natural stone walk down to the pond was energizing. The fish were definitely jumping. Mid week very quiet and private. Weekend pretty much the same.

Not exactly ON a lake

The way down needs more accommodation. My husband made it down once with difficulty. I made it half way once. We spent the week on the deck looking at the lake. The cottage was beautiful, and better provisioned than any previous rental, but we came for the lake. Never even inflated our tubes.

My cottage features private and secluded water frontage on a 12 acre lake with only 4 homes on it and all are set well back from the water's edge. I'm very sorry you had difficulty. Since you arrived two hours early, my housekeeper had a chance to meet you and she commented to me that your husband appeared to have a physical handicap. If I had known about that beforehand, I would have discouraged you from choosing my cottage. Since it's on a mountainside, the direct path downhill to the lake is steep in places, but I do offer a less direct, alternate path that's quite easy to use. I'll make that path more obvious for future guests who may have strength or balance issues.

nothing was as advertized

filthy, living room did not look as advertised, dirt and hair on couch, dirt, bugs and windows. It's a pity since the windows faced the woods and lake and the breeze would have been fantastic if it was so terribly dirty and smelled musty.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 31, 2025
I'm stunned and mystified by your complaints. My housekeeper did her usual thorough cleaning before your arrival -- vacuuming, dusting, cleaning, straightening up... I did hear from the previous guests that they'd enjoyed opening the windows, so maybe they also let in some flies. The furnishings are basically the same as they were when you visited us 9 years ago, with a few upgrades. Perhaps the "musty smell" was because of the house being closed up during the unusual heat wave in Maine at the time of your arrival?

Beautiful oasis

Ginger’s place is even sweeter than it looks in the pictures. The setting is idyllic and the house is set up with guests in mind with a well stocked kitchen and even shelving to store your own food and equipment in the kitchen and toiletries in the bathroom. The way to the lake is a tiny bit of a climb but anything more structured than the few stepping stones here and there would ruin its charm. There are only a few other residents around the lake but there was some construction going on directly across the lake starting on Thursday of our stay: sawing and nail guns etc which broke up the serenity. Hopefully their construction will end soon. It is a beautiful and otherwise peaceful place!

Peaceful

Clean, well equipped, cozy and quiet. Location was perfect for us to simply relax, read, cook. Kayaked much at Three Mile Pond, played a round of golf at Western View. Both 15 minutes away. Maine Cabin Masters was our draw. The coast is not far but chose to stick close and enjoy the cottage.
