Retreat in the pines
Such a great location.. easy to get to NH, the Maine coast and farther North, all within 90 minutes. Secluded in the pines and serenaded by the loons.. doesn't get any better! We really enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Amazing!
I grew up on this pond and finding this rental was like a needle in a haystack. The place is beautiful and there is plenty of privacy. The swimming area was perfect for our two dogs and my 5 year old grandchild. We will definitely be coming back every year! We are so happy to finally find a place that we can consistently go to!

Great stay at the lake

Cozy, comfortable, private location! The covered deck, the large outdoor area and beach area were exceptional. The water was beautiful and the perfect swimming spot for humans and dogs :) Communication was as expected, the camp had everything we needed. I’m hoping to book again next year, Thank you!

Cozy rustic cabin
Cabin was well stocked with supplies and just about anything you could need. The cabin could definitely use some upgrades including a way of locking the premises, shower losing warm water consistently, and mice definitely being active. Yard had a lot of dog poop that wasn't cleaned up. Overall enjoyed our stay due to location and privacy of the beautiful lakefront property.

Perfect Getaway Spot!
We enjoyed our time here at this cottage. Yes, it's rustic, but that's part of its charm. We had everything we needed. The lake was absolutely beautiful. We swam and kayaked every day. We would love to come back again.

We read the listing and knew what to expect, rustic cabin. It’s an old days living cabin and was great! The lot is unmatched with any of of vacations yet! All the frontage and dock was perfect for our boat. If your thinking polished marble go to the Caribbean! This is Maine lake life to it s best! Thank you for the time at your cabin.

Emphasis on rustic.
Location was great. Furnishings were old, one recliner didn’t work. The entire place needs a deep cleaning, but it is advertised as rustic. It’s a great camping place and did offer all we needed for our stay. The fact that we were not able to lock the cabin when we were away was a little disconcerting. I would stay again but might plan on bargaining for a better cleaning. Was overall fair for the price.

In one word, SPECTACULAR.
Heaven may not be ALL like Chris’ cabin, but there is a little bit that is. What a porch, what a dock, what facilities! The water was very nice (all water north of Samana Bay in the Dominican is cold for me, a Caribbean boy). Once you adapted and got into it, you could really stay for as long as you wished. Private, special, wonderful (I’d better not go on, we’d like it to be available next summer!). Elizabeth and Luis

Best Lakefront Cottage We Ever Rented
This was the very best lakefront cottage we ever rented. Everything was just as advertised. Privacy was spot on and the cottage was clean and very well stocked. The furniture and the bed were comfortable. We had great TV at night (smart TV with netflix & you-tube). Just around the corner is Boothby's Farm Stand with corn on the cob, tomatoes, cukes, homemade pies, Cabot wheel cheese, apples and soooo much more. The weather was perfect for swimming or just floating around in a watertube. We saw or heard the loons everyday. My husband enjoyed using the kayak and fishing. We cooked on the outside BBQ almost everyday. Overall I would rate this vacation as A+++++. We will definitely be back again.

Simply Amazing
What a fantastic place to stay. The cabin is 100% what the pictures show. Nice isolated place on your own private drive. Access to a beautiful pond. All the amenities you may need. The kitchen had everything you need to cook for yourself if you want. The hot water was never an issue. The place was clean and stocked with linens. Chris was a great host. Having never used VRBO before I had reservations but Chris called me a few months prior to go over all the details and responded quickly to any other messages I sent. Check in was as painless as possible. Check out was the same. If you are looking at this cabin, don't think twice. Just go enjoy Maine.

Too Rustic
What a disappointment! I've stayed at other rentals in Maine on a lake and this one was so disappointing. Dead bugs and spiders greet you at the door and the door doesn't even lock. The wifi is terrible, nonexistent, buffers forever. Bathroom on the other side of the house, which is in very poor condition, so good luck if you have to use it at night. We were so unhappy with this "rustic" place that we left and stayed at Comfort Inn Hotel. What a rip off. Want a refund ASAP

This was my third time staying at the camp.
I didn’t give the highest score because the propane tank was empty and no backup. The futon was broken very uncomfortable to sit on and couldn’t use it as a bed. For some reason, the lifevest were missing it made it difficult for people to use the canoe and kayak. It seems to me some of the towels were missing from the previous two years. The dock has soft spots on it. It took a week for the owner to respond to my message. I am waiting to get reimbursed for the propane but all in all I will probably be back next year. Hopefully these issues will be resolved. Richard E
