We had the pleasure to vacation at this spectacular property with our 3 children (ages 11, 5, 3), and our parents (we won't mention their ages). We were a bit nervous booking a property without visiting it first, but upon our arrival, found everything to be just as described by the owners--but better! We have stayed in many lakeside rentals, and found this one to be by the best. This property has it all, and everything far exceeded our expectations. The home is beautiful, well appointed, and extremely clean. The home was nicely decorated too- the taxidermy on the walls is amazing. We've never stayed in such a spotless lakeside rental home. The property is perfect for families- there is no specific beach, but there is a nice, easy slope into the lake--no big drop-off to it, or ledges to climb down to access it. There is a bit of sandy frontage near the lake. There is also a large dock leading to the deeper areas.The lake is gorgeous--it's in a quiet cove, warm, shallow water with a mix of some rocks, sand, lily pads, and wildlife. This is an unspoiled natural lakefront despite being located on a populated lake. We were surprised at how peaceful it was here. They were having record high temps during our visit so we really enjoyed the lake and the home a/c units.We all enjoyed the lake--our kids basically lived in it during our stay. They swam, splashed, snorkled, fished, and caught frogs. The kids had a blast hand-feeding sunfish hiding in the water weeds near the dock. Fishing and wildlife viewing are amazing here! We watched a bald eagle, fish jumping, turtles, loons, deer, ducks...right from the patio and dock. We used the 2-person kayak, canoe,and rented the motorboat to explore the lake --lots of fun! The owners were fantastic--very friendly & accommodating--great people to deal with. We had the best vacation at this property and look forward to booking again next summer. Thank you to the owners for making our Maine vacation simply the BEST. Great memories were made at your property. Thank you for sharing it with us. We can't wait to come back!
