The cottage is a nice location on the lake. Convenient to different sightseeing area. The pictures are not a good representation of the condition of the house. Although older and rustic it needs a thorough cleaning.

Less Than Expected

We loved the location and the lake but the building needs some upgrades. The toilet was spotty and the living room and front porch furniture was in bad shape/uncomfortable. For the money, this rental wasn't worth it. I can't say enough about how responsive the property management company was. The camp was very warm upon arrival and there was no AC. The property management company delivered an air conditioner the same day.

I really enjoyed our week at the camp. Lots of lobsters and just sitting on the porch and reading. A great place to relax and enjoy the views and listen to the loons.

Real Maine Camp feel

I liked the simplicity of this camp and the charm of its quirkiness. Most of all having a place to share with family from afar. Even though we didn't have an outside fire, the chairs were a welcome site as we arrived and were used just to enjoy a warm afternoon.

August stay in Maine

I really loved the porch and all the seafood we had to eat. Even though we were here when the tropical storm hit we still had a great time. Looking forward to next year.

remotely relaxing!!

true Maine camp cabin, not fancy but solid and comfortable, and WOW what a location! Swim off the dock, sunsets, the cry of the loons, and peaceful, no neighbors! Easy short drive to Damariscotta if you want some hustle and bustle.

Great short getaway

Cabin was just as it was described. Everything we needed. Stairs down to the water could use some maintenance. The dock and water were fantastic. My kids loves going out to the island. Overall great property. Would definitely come back.

Wonderful cabin in the woods

This place reminds me of a cabin I went to every summer as a kid with my parents. Rustic, but still with the comforts of home. There’s WiFi if needed, but we came to unplug and enjoy the nature. The bed was very soft. We really enjoyed our morning coffee on the porch and then in the evening, watching the sunset and enjoying the sounds of the loons. Feels very removed from life, yet close enough to get to points of interest relatively quickly.

4th of July weekend

Came here with some friends. Had some issues with the house, door was left open by maintenance, not much toilet paper or any paper towels/kitchen towels provided, no water provided, rock pathway was not very stable and had loose rocks. House does have some nice views and located near some fun locations to explore.

Thank you for your feedback and for spending the 4th of July weekend with us. We were notified of the Elock issue and assisted promptly, but we apologize for the lack of supplies and the rock pathway concerns. To clarify, we provide our guests with a starter kit of supplies. This includes cleaning supplies, toiletries, and paper products. Once these supplies run out it is the responsibility of our guests to provide any additional supplies throughout the remainder of their stay. Supplies are restocked before each guest. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused during your time with us. We're glad you enjoyed the views and the nearby attractions, and we hope to improve your experience on a future visit!

Nice location, property needs some TLC

The location and the lake were wonderful, but the house needs a deep cleansing. Furniture in living room seemed cluttered, chairs were in the middle of the room when we arrived. Shouldn't take much effort to improve this camp to make guests feel more comfortable.
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Sept 2024
Thank you for your feedback, Patrick. We're glad you enjoyed the location and the lake. We apologize for the inconveniences you encountered. We will discuss these concerns with our housekeeping team and ensure the furniture is properly arranged to improve guest comfort. We appreciate your input and hope to provide a better experience in the future.

We just finished a week long stay at Peaceful Day Dreamer in Bremen Maine.The host provided EVERYTHING you could want from sheets and towels to dishes,silverware,cooking utensils and on and on. We found the place to be very clean and the setting to be very quiet. The kids loved swimming off the dock and the fishing was great. Having the kitcken on a different level we found to be perfect for those of us who are early risers. The porch offers great sunset views and is a great spot to relax

A classic Maine "Cottage"

Great place to veg out. I would only add that people should look the listing over carefully, as this place is very basic--It's one of the things that we liked about it, but not everybody will. Also, stairs to the shore are very steep and the boat, while useable is very marginal. Not important to us, but might be to others.

Maine Camp

We had a very pleasant stay here at the Biscay Pond camp. The listing is accurate, as are the reviews. The camp does need some maintenance but the way we figured it, given the location, the pricing and the way camps in Maine just are (you go for the outdoor experience, not the guest amenities) it was fine by us. The screened porch overlooking the lake was a perfect space. A house booklet, with what to do with the garbage for example, would be useful.

Weekend Getaway

We had a lovely stay at this true Maine "CAMP" perched over Biscay Pond. Nothing fancy, but that is what we were looking for. We loved the cozy fireplace as it rained all weekend and sitting on the screened porch reading, enjoying the fall colors and the loons calling. Well equipped except for wine glasses which we always bring anyway!!..Nicely situated close to the Boothbay Area and several excellent lobster wharfs...do not expect luxury...this is "camp" , not an HGTV makeover thank goodness! without the rain, a great pond for kayaking, rowing, swimming.

Super Funky Bug Palace

The shower required a phillips-head screwdriver to operate. The insect population both inside and outside of this cottage was out of control (spiders and carpenter ants). While the kitchen was clean, the rest of the cottage could use a good spring cleaning. Otherwise, our stay was enjoyable. The layout is unique to say the least. The screened in porch was a delight, except for the aroma of rodent urine on the chair cushions (hence the need for a good spring cleaning). The sunset view and the breeze off the pond were delightful.

Hi Mechelle. Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that there were some unexpected visitors during your stay. We have reached out to our local team to make sure that we have had the home treated professionally. We apologize that the issue wasn't taken care of prior to your arrival. Additionally, we have treated the home for the unfavorable aroma outside as well as the shower. We do hope that we have another chance in the future to host you for a truly relaxing vacation.

Lovely location; house needs work

Classic rustic Maine camp on a lovely pond with tiny island to explore, outside charming villages and close to the beautiful Maine coast. House is neglected and in serious disrepair. Stove shorted out, water cooler flooded, roof leaked, shower faucet (hot) needs to be replaced and fireplace fills house with smoke unless there’s a roaring fire. Pantry, wood room and kitchen cupboards need to be cleared out of clutter. Cleat missing a screw and new line needed for anchor and boat. Mildew in bathroom, wood room and storage closet. Despite the property’s challenges, we loved the location, the view from the kitchen and screened porch and had a wonderful time kayaking (the house has a rowboat, we brought our kayaks) swimming, fishing, sunning and exploring the nearby towns.

Hi, Gillissen! We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to read there were some problems with your stay. We were unable to locate any signs of a leak, but we will keep an eye on this. A new water cooler has been installed, the shower has been repaired, the mildew has been addressed, and the fireplace works if guests are using the damper correctly. Thank you!

Relaxing stay!

My family of four had a wonderful time. Relaxing was the primary goal and we did just that. The place is a bit rustic but not overly. 2 bedrooms served us well with one having bunk beds. Common living room was great and we liked how the kitchen/pantry/bathroom area was on the upper floor. It provided space if you needed it. The screened porch was beautiful. My wife enjoyed sitting and doing hobby projects while staring at the lake. Camp fires were a must and an excellent location with fire pit made it happen. Fishing off a very nice dock every night capped it off. The pond itself is clean and the water relatively warm. Our only caution is the motorboat and jet ski traffic activity blowing through in between the dock and the island facing the camp. Unfortunately many inconsiderate people going full throttle. One time while we were swimming and it didn’t seem like the jet skier noticed us or didn’t care. We have teens but those with young children just beware. That area appears to be free reign. The island is cool but heavily used by anyone on the lake. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and the camp. What you see in the pics is exactly what you get and that’s a great thing!

Hi John. Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review. We’re so glad your family had a relaxing and enjoyable stay and that the screened porch, dock, and fire pit helped create special memories. It’s great to hear the space worked well for your group and that the photos matched your expectations. We also really appreciate the heads-up about the watercraft traffic in front of the dock. Safety is always a top priority, and we’ll be sure to communicate this more clearly to future guests, especially those with younger children. Thanks again for staying with us. We’d love to welcome you back anytime.

Unexpected

Loved the porch and the Biscay Pond view & swimming ! ! But there is no way we would have rented the camp if we knew about the stairs situation! We hated having to walk up those stairs at night to use the bathroom/ kitchen.The outdoor 'steps' down to the pond were kind of scary too- a couple are tippy. We had some problems also while there, but didn't want to call some out of state number .And they should have already known about the problems from the cleaners/ caretakers--- The futon was broken! When we sat down the left side slid back & away from wall (where it had been propped to stay up).It is missing something that braces it to stay in the upright sofa position. Both trash cans were FULL when we went to take out our bag of trash 4 days into our stay.Someone did come later in the week. But trash should be empty for new renters ! And there should be a note telling when trash day is and what if any recycling is necessary. Outside doors were obviously new-the cardboard was piled up beside the shed. The door that opens out to 'back 'of cottage & clothesline cannot be opened from inside the cottage.It ONLY OPENS FROM OUTSIDE! Looks like it's stuck in the casing..

Great vacation!!

Our vacation in Maine has come to an end. It was a great stay at Peaceful Day Dreamer. We did have a couple of issues that were taken care of by Vacasa in a timely manner. We will definitely be back next year to enjoy reading on the porch, listening to the loons at night and of course eating all the lobster that we could. This rental is a great place to unwind and enjoy some family time with our loved ones.
