About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Paddleboard, kayak, dive off the dock, sit by the fire

Right on Highland Lake beautiful spot, sandy beach, great house but close to town. This house was built in 1930 as a hunting lodge/camp but has been updated. The kitchen has enough space to feed an army, big trestle table, beautiful field stone fireplace is the centerpiece of the living room. fire pit outside, great, dock, nice sand, 2 kayaks and a paddleboard for your use


Local Attractions: Drive-in movies; Rafting down the Saco, wonderful downtown Bridgton a five min walk

The best thing about this beautiful house hands down is you feel very private but in 5 minutes you can walk to town and get an ice cream. It really is an ideal spot on an ideal lake. The lake is quiet but big enough to explore for hours.

The good and the bad
This is a tough one to leave a review. The location, lake, house space and the owner....awesome! The grounds, the pool house, the cleanliness....awful! The five bedroom 2 bath house has great space and lots of character. The problem is the cleanliness. The black mold in the upstairs bathroom and bedrooms was disturbing. The flying ants in the main bedroom downstairs was disgusting. The mold around the bathroom edges has been "covered up" for years. None of the bathroom doors actually shut or lock, no privacy. There were cobwebs and spiders all over the living room between the chairs and tables. The inside of the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen were dirty. The fridge and coffee maker have not been cleaned in weeks. The grounds of the property have not seen any care whatsoever in 20 years. The disturbing amount of giant spiders and colony of spiderwebs in the boathouse left it literally unusable! Once again, the location, space and owner were great! Everything else, not so much.

Nice lake house close to town
We enjoyed our stay at the lake house; various age groups in our party and all agreed we would happily stay again! Downstairs bedroom with bath attached perfect for the grandparents. Teens and mom enjoyed upstairs living, each teen able to share a room with their invited friend. Plenty of parking and super close to downtown with lots to do. Public beach, pizza, movies and ice cream all a quick walk away. Paddle board very nice, and two kayaks for use…all paddles and pfd’s included. Dock could use some upkeep but believe owner is working on that. I would suggest a ladder for older folks to get out dockside with ease. Plenty of room inside for the big family to gather, never felt crowded at all. It is an older place and more rustic than fancy, but that has always been our family experience and pleasure. Well stocked, and washer and dryer and dishwasher were much appreciated amenities for our family needs! Would go back 100 percent and think most people would really find it relaxing without being boring! Pam was easy to communicate with and very responsive.

Exactly what we wanted!
The property is exactly what you would expect of a 100+ yr old camp/lake house. It was exactly what we were looking for. Kitchen was well equipped and plenty of bedding & bath linens. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Thank you Pam for allowing us to enjoy your home.

Beautiful location but outdoors needs a fair amount of work
The good news: We loved our stay at the lake. Pam was an incredibly gracious, helpful host. The living space in the house is comfortable and clean and obviously well-loved by the owners. The kitchen has everything you need. Some of the appliances could use replacing though all worked. The lake is fantastic. The honest (not quite as good) news: The beds are old and you could feel the springs in all the mattresses. The grounds are not well kept. The dock is rickety with little space to sit and enjoy the sun or sunset. There is surprisingly very little outdoor space to hang out, no patio, no porch. There is a (not well maintained) dirt path leading down to the lake cut through the overgrown yard (almost looks like a washed out stream bed). The property has so much potential but the grounds are not kept in a condition I would have expected for the price. If I had understood this in advance, we may not have rented the house.

Another great visit to Shorey Grove!
Another great visit to Bridgton. Everyone had a wonderful time! As before, booking was easy and Pam was great to work with. The House is perfect for kids and the lake is nice and shallow near the dock for little ones! It is walking distance to shops, parks, and most importantly ice cream! The grocery store is less than two miles away as is the local hospital and animal hospital. We will be back again next year. Thanks for a great vacation!

call me dissapointed- not what was promised
I have had rented many great places on home away and VRBO in the past. Unfortunately this was not one. We recently rented this property from Pam Fullerton. The lakeside setting was nice but the property was somewhat disappointing. During our stay we encountered too many examples of owner inattention. The place needs some upkeep what was billed as a quintessential lake house was really a large cabin. Over the ensuing days we found The stove filthy with caked grease and food.the freezer had food caked in it. Many pans were greasy. dog hair was apparent in floor vents and was everywhere. We actually found dirty underwear and socks in bedding! Yuck. On every day we seemed to be surprised with something else. One night we were awakened by some squirrels scattering around and nesting in blankets beside the big hole in the closet. At 4:30 am we were on the hunt with a net! The owner seemed unfazed and minimized our concerns.defensive is my best description of her. The note on the refrigerator says the boathouse should not be used, though it is advertised as "for your use to tuck a boat in". A local builder said it should be condemned. Admittedly I did not call the owner initially as some of the issues were not apparent until we started cooking or using bedding. I did email her and heard nothing for 2 days- possibly a wireless glitch but after the squirrel incident I called . The owner was defensive and said it was all my fault for not calling sooner- she kept saying I called on the 6th day . I assure you it was before that. She agreed to return a portion of the amount paid for cleaning and now has reneged on her agreement. Though there were good times I would NOT recommend it. It is not as advertised , The property manager agreed that there are issues with owner and property. Perhaps the place was a great place in years past but it needs a bit of love and the owner needs a lesson in being a responsive property owner.

cozy family home
I just want to first say thank you to Pam for sharing your wonderful home with us. What a blessing that vacation was to us and family. You have a great home. The view is amazing. The kids fished off the dock in front of the house everyday for hours. The kayaks were a big plus too! I loved that I could walk to all the antique shops and grab a smoothie at the new place down the street. We did not want to leave. I would recommend this to everyone. Thanks again and enjoy your summer. Rob and Jane Willwerth of Saugus MA

Great space for family reunion
All 11 of us really enjoyed this Maine home. Bridgton is such a terrific town and we have vacationed here for many years. Lots of space for all of us with plenty of room to be alone, too. Pam was very helpful with any issues that arrived...there weren't very many!! The lake was wonderful and we were able to truly enjoy family time. The place could use some updating but for a Maine "cabin" it was very good. The place was clean and well maintained. The listing description was accurate.
