Cute little cabin with all amenities, great for our little family on our short visit to Maine! Wish we made time to hang out at the dock, but there is always next time!
Restful retreat with everything you need. From the sound of the loons, the comfortable accommodations, accessibility to so many great spots, and wonderful hosts you can't beat it. Can't wait to come back.

From the owner: "Ronald, Thanks so much for another great review!"
This private dock and deck on Dam Pond was perfect for our stay! The house was a little smaller than we expected but it was beautiful still! The owners were always making sure we were taken care of and extremely nice! We would all definitely stay again
This home on Dam Pond was the best! Very clean, and fully equipped. Loved the deck and waterfront listening to the loons. Super quiet and relaxing. Had everything we needed. Brenda and Peter were great hosts. Even brought us coffee!! Would definitely come back.

WILL RETURN!!!!
The " cottage in the woods " was absolutely what we were looking for and more. The accommodations were perfect. Homey, comfy and very clean.We relaxed every day on the dock on the lake and admired the resident lions and the peaceful scenery.It was our own little slice of heaven.

Mini Vacation
Cute a little cottage a bit smaller than expected but Beautifully kept. Had quite a laugh about the height of the kitchen counters and sink. Lol The swing by the water is a great place so peaceful. The fireplace was nice with the firewood being provided. Beds were comfortable. A bit different having the only bathroom in the master bedroom. Was a little disappointed the paddleboat had water in it when we arrived so we didn't use it. Too much to try to empty it ourselves. Would definitely rent again.
