Amazing House with Great Views.
The house was super clean and well equipped. Casey, the property manager, was great to deal with. There were 2 snow storms during our stay and he and his team did an amazing job of removing all the snow. I would highly recommend renting this property.

Great place with lots of space
We just visited the property it was great. There were beautiful views of the lake, easy access to the water with steps into the lake. Like typical Sebago it is rocky so if you have anyone with sensitive feet bring water shoes. A nice dock for a boat and lots of space in the house for a large group ( which we were). The interior of the house was very clean and stocked with all the essentials.

Beautiful Home and Amazing Location
We loved this home and the beach and lake it sits on. We had everything we needed and made some great meals for dinner. The loft is so perfect and the beds are incredibly comfortable! We so easily communicated with the owners and they immediately answered any questions we had. We didn't have the best weather but made the best of it and we're still able to use the provided kayaks which were great. We would love to come back in the summer! Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing Lake House
Beautiful lakeside home. Gives a true mountain home feel. Very well maintained and kept. Modern appliances, 2 full baths with nice shower. The Chalet style just makes it so cozy and welcoming. Two gas fire places enhance the atmosphere. Everything worked as expected. I wish we could plan our family vacation in July August so we could get into the water and enjoy even more. You can't go wrong with this one!

Wonderful Fall Getaway
My parents had originally planned to join my husband and I when he made the reservation. Unfortunately they didn’t join us, so it was a lot of home for just the two of us. But WOW, what a beautiful, well kept home. It has all the essential items needed to prepare meals and live like we were at home. We only slept in the master bedroom and that bed was comfortable. The view of the lake, especially in the fall is spectacular. The communication with the owners before, during and after our stay was great. We loved our stay and would definitely want to stay there again! Thank you for sharing your home with us and our sweet golden-doodle!!

Sebago Lake Home
We loved our stay in this beautiful home! It was very clean, impeccably maintained, with beautiful & comfortable furniture. The loft has two twin beds which my teenagers commented were the most comfortable beds ever (this area would not be appropriate for small children as the railing is open looking down over the living room). The kitchen literally has everything you could possibly need, all linens, towels, trash bags, paper towels, etc were provided, even laundry detergent! Plenty of water toys and life jackets for use were available as well as a pile of dry wood for the fire pit. There is so much seating available, indoors and outside it made entertaining a breeze! The dock is lovely for sitting on and appreciating the incredible lake view. The property manager, Casey, stopped by to grab trash twice and see if we needed anything, and to make sure everything was going well. Honestly, this home is amazing and exactly as described in the listing. I cannot wait for them to open the 2024 bookings so we can visit again!!

Stay Away
This rental is clearly a case of being promised filet mignon and being served “ground chuck”. So let’s start: When we rented the property, before leaving, I emailed the owner asking about air conditioning. As most people know, the summers are getting hotter and Sebago is no exception. High 80’s to low 90’s are not uncommon in August, making sleeping without air conditioning all but impossible. “Yes, " replied the owner, it is air-conditioned”. And that is true… IN ONE ROOM. We all spent the week sleeping with the bedroom doors open in hopes of getting a breath of cool air. Outdoor shower? Yes… Not working though. Swim Raft? Yes, Temporarily out of the lake and sitting on the ground for repair. Fire pit? Yes… No chairs though. Enjoy standing around the fire. Mooring? “Yes,it’s not in”. Just lash your boat to the downwind side of the dock. This is enough to make me scream! You can't do that on Sebago! The gang plank leading to the floating dock is beyond belief unstable as is the dock… Both of them pitch from side to side and when several people are coming down at the same time, it's anyone’s guess as to who is ending up in the lake first… We had several people in our group in their seventies and a fall would be no laughing matter. And please believe me, they really, really, had trouble… Stay away from this one folks.

Great place!
We had a wonderful time. Great location, house was great, plenty of kayaks and paddle boards. Great outside spaces. Our one minor complaint would be the sectional sofa on the main floor - well worn so it sinks down and is not very comfortable and hard to get out of for us older folks! Beds very comfortable, beautiful bathrooms, very clean.
