My family enjoyed the week of July 4th at Stephanie’s home. I’ve long talked about getting my three adult children, their spouses and four grandchildren together at a Maine lake house. I finally made arrangements and we all had such a great time, we will be doing it again. Kids ranged from 2-10 and we all swam in the quiet lake from the private dock and kayaked every day with the boats provided. The gas grill and fire pit got lots of use. The kitchen was very well equipped for our group of 12. Mini splits made the hot summer days comfortable as did a roomy hot tub in the evening.

Wonderful Family Vacation!

My family and I (3 generations) had a great time at this lake property! The kids really enjoyed jumping off the dock, kayaking, and the lofted area was a big hit for the kids’ “hang out” spot! Stephanie, the host, was very attentive and communicative prior to and throughout our stay! It was a wonderful vacation! Thank you!!

Great Lake House!

We really enjoyed our time at Balch Pond and the house. Plenty of space for adults and teenagers, and all the amenities that you want for a Maine summer stay. House was very clean and looked just like the pictures. Immediate area is fairly quiet, but 30 minute drive to Wolfboro which was nice and an hour from Portland and ocean beaches. Highly recommend!

fun on the small pond

The house was exactly as advertised, bonus points on the mini splits. Location was great, the lake was very fun and very quiet. Nice layout, loft was great ( we only ended up having a total of 6 people one night ) only drag was there was no firepit poker.... we made due. Very nice location and lake, we would rent again.

Family Time

Our three families fit comfortably together in this house. The big kids (ages 17-22) enjoyed the loft. Grownups stayed in the main rooms on the main floor. Our family with two littles (7 and 4) stayed downstairs. The downstairs was perfect with a bathroom and living area so we didn’t need to wake anyone up in the early morning. House was clean and has everything you needed.

August 2024

Our stay was an annual family gathering (our 1st time at this property). Loved the location of this property on the lake…at the end of the lake, quiet and a no wake zone. Rare boat traffic. Easy access into the water for everyone from the dock but no beach. Not an easy exit from the water for a dog. We all loved the availability of seating around the huge fire pit. Plenty of outside space for corn-hole (bring your own) and other outside games. 2 kayaks are provided with paddles and life vests. The house was clean and had everything we might have needed, even a 2nd refrigerator on the lower level! The Grandchildren loved bunking in the loft! The beds were very comfortable! Plenty of parking too. Our only wish would have been more sunlight through the trees and on the dock. Communication with the owner was stellar! Overall I would rate this property a 9/10. (1/10th missing for direct sunshine). We would recommend this property and love to stay there again!
