This is our fourth family vacation to this beautiful lake house. It is very family friendly and the ease of access to the lake is the best thing about the property. We always love fishing and kayaking and renting a boat for the day. Highly recommend this property to families looking for a peaceful lake vacation.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was outstanding with plenty of room for our family of 7 adults and 2 small children. And very clean when we arrived. The entire home, including the kitchen, was stocked more than anticipated. We took advantage of everything the home had to offer - the private beach, kayaks, paddle boat, the fire pit, large back yard, the sauna and hot tub. The outdoor dining area was also enjoyed. Dina was quick to reply to any inquiries we had. Would definitely stay here again!

I think the pictures undersell the shore of the lake! Best lakefront we have ever had. You have to go pretty far out to get the water over your waist, which means you can’t jump off the dock. Loved that the dock didn’t move though. The house is really wonderful. Only a few were bothered by car noises from the busy street. Wish there was a little more couch space, but there was a nice big table for our big family. The piece of land is also gorgeous! Owner was speedy with all communication.

We just had the best long weekend at this home. We found everything to be exactly as you would expect for a home away from home. The host was responsive to our questions and the property is amazing! We really enjoyed the hot tub a sauna after a long day on the ice and there was even a surprise playroom in the basement for our toddler. The town is adorable with great food and shopping options. Village tie up bakery was a stand out for sure! We cannot wait to go back. 10/10

Fabulous family beach vacation

Wonderful location for family of 7 adults and 2 children with accessible beach and lake. The water is shallow enough for toddlers to play and pleasant for adults to swim and kayak. The house was clean and functional for a large group and the large dining room table was ideal for dinners and games. We would be happy to stay again.

Lovely spot on Crystal Lake

Amazing stay

We just returned from a wonderful week at this beautiful lake house. The listing was incredibly accurate, and the private beachfront access was better than described. It was perfect for our family which had a lot of children and little fisherman who enjoyed fishing off the dock and the nearby river. The house was absolutely huge and provided a lot of opportunity to spread out, but also had a large enough dining room and screened in porch area to be together.

Covers all the bases

This large lake house comfortably accommodated our family. The outdoor space was a nice grassy lawn leading down to the private sandy beach. Great for toddlers who could go in the shallow water. Firepits each night were fun for all. This is our favorite place to stay for our annual lakeside family vacation.

Great stay at Harrison Maine lake house

We stayed at this cozy Harrison Maine lake house with our family members. There were 6 adults and 1 child. There were plenty of spacious bedrooms and beds. We really enjoyed sitting in the chairs on the sand and looking at the beautiful view of the lake. We also loved using the spacious hot tub. I highly recommend renting this home!

Amazing property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Crystal Lake. The home is very well maintained and on an absolutely gorgeous piece of property. The sandy beach is large and there is so much room to roam around and enjoy the outdoors. Our dog was in heaven. More practically, the beds were comfortable and many details were attended to. The owner was very responsive when we had questions and I would absolutely recommend this home to others.

So much fun on the lake

The property on Crystal Lake was phenomenal. The house accommodated all of us very comfortably. The grandkids all enjoyed the beach and the lake, and had great fun in the hot tub. We rented kayaks, and everyone took a turn on the water. One of my sons said it was the best of the vacation homes we've rented over the years, and he was absolutely right. Everyone has a great time!

Wonderful Family Trip

This property was all that you could ask for and Dina, the owner, was extremely responsive and helpful before and during our stay. We stayed at the house with a couple families with young children, who enjoyed the yard as well as the lake time, as well as the bedrooms and nooks and crannies that they found in the crawl spaces (a ten year old girls dream for a hiding spot!). The kitchen was full of what we needed to cook and the bedrooms and other living spaces were comfortable (wonderful mattresses!!). The shallowness of the lake is perfect for our young children and we hope to come back again!
