We just returned from a week at Pinewoods. The location is nice, a short 15 mins drive to downtown Bridgton. Peaceful wooded setting. The pond is great. Very clear and clean water. My kids enjoyed the dock, the jumping dock and the row boat. We spent our days on the water.
The main issues related to the house cleaning, we found it uncleaned upon our arrival, food in fridge and very dirty with spills and crumbs, the floor had crumbs all over, the table had food crumbs and we found peanuts all over the porch cushions ( we have a peanut allergy child). We spent our first few hours cleaning the home. The owner was very responsive to our concerns with the cleanliness and spoke to the cleaners immediately.
The furniture in the family room upstairs is very weathered. Lots of stains and fading. Both bathroom sinks upstairs were very backed up as was the master bedroom shower.
The fridge upstairs did not work for a portion of our stay, thankfully there was a back up fridge in the basement. The owners did get someone out to address the fridge within a few days. Again, the owners were very attentive. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need for a week of cooking. The downstairs closet was full of board games which the kids used all week long.
The biggest issue for my family, was the dampness in the downstairs, which is where 2 of the bedrooms are located. The twin room never dried out, the carpet was damp the entire week, even with a dehumidifier running non stop, a fan and windows open. My kids came home sick. The morning we were packing up we noticed some mold behind one of the beds.
The house did have a lot of space and accommodated our group well.
We also did have a bat in the home, likely would have been found if the cleaners had done a better job of cleaning the property. I believe if the few issues are taken care of this property really would be a great vacation spot.
