Highly responsive hosts and CLEAN!

John and Linda's property is perfect for family gatherings with easy access to the lake and local beaches. John and Linda were attentive to every detail and very accommodating to ensure we had everything we needed- including a crockpot, blender and mixer! The Blackstone grill was my favorite (-: We would definitely stay here again. All amenities and appliances are in good working order and everything is very Clean! Thank you for going the extra mile.

Family vacation!

We loved our stay at the Gray House! The kiddos loved the lake and dock, throwing rocks in the water was sooo cool! :) they range from 2-5. John was very helpful, and our kids loved chatting with him and his dog! The “play house” outside was a popular hang out for the kids. We absolutely loved the blackstone grill and used it every night! The house was amazingly stocked and very comfy! We would absolutely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Lawrence

This circa 1925 home has been in the same family until this present day. It has witnessed happy days and tragic days as it sheltered 3 generations of children. This home has just experienced its 4th renovation. The property's host and her brother the owner are third-generation children. They have loving endeavored to modernize this home, yet still be focused on keeping its original personal integrity. Throughout the home you may notice little hints of the nostalgic past.

Why they chose this property

Although we are not done with all the changes, we are in the process of making to this property, the home is now very comfortable, and we invite you to bring your family for a relaxing visit to the cool environment of Mousam Lake. We hope to add and deck, redo the outside painting of the house, and set up a place for outside activities such as a patio with firepit and a summer reading room with beverage cooler. We will be working on these projects in between the visits of our guests.

What makes this property unique

Each room has been set up with attention to detail. You can bring a large group of family or friends and still have privacy. We decided not to fill bedrooms with cots and bunk beds because we felt privacy and space was important for a truly relaxing respite. This is especially true in the case of inclement weather. Unfortunately, not every day in Maine is warm and sunny or producing fluffy snow. Our guests need to be able to go their separate ways with a good book or to watch a movie without the noise of a large crowd. This property is in close proximity to the main roads for when one desires to pick up "take out", decides to visit a nearby eatery, or catch a movie in the nearby town of Sanford.
